Belle & Sebastian - Put The Book Back On The Shelf

Belle & Sebastian

Put The Book Back On The Shelf

Sebastian you're in a mess
You had a dream, they called you king
Of all the hipsters, is it true?
Or are you still the queen?

Like getting blood out of a stone
The city left you all alone
You came to dance, but there's no poignancy
When they all leave you standing alone

The wider issues of the day
Don't interest you, you'll have to pay
For looking at the floor
When people talk to you

You wrote a book about yourself
The people left it on the shelf
You'll write another one
Now you've got a story that's worth talking about

Are you happy with yourself?
Are you talking to yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?
Put the book back on the shelf

I know the company you keep
You're on the sofa hidden deep
While on the telly Sid James speaks
To you like God

You're always looking for a sign
But boy you blow it every time
You hear a voice begin to speak
You ignore it and go softly to sleep

Mirror lyrics:

You ignore it and go softly to sleep
You hear a voice begin to speak
But boy you blow it every time
You're always looking for a sign

To you like God
While on the telly Sid James speaks
You're on the sofa hidden deep
I know the company you keep

Put the book back on the shelf
Are you happy with yourself?
Are you talking to yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?

Now you've got a story that's worth talking about
You'll write another one
The people left it on the shelf
You wrote a book about yourself

When people talk to you
For looking at the floor
Don't interest you, you'll have to pay
The wider issues of the day

When they all leave you standing alone
You came to dance, but there's no poignancy
The city left you all alone
Like getting blood out of a stone

Or are you still the queen?
Of all the hipsters, is it true?
You had a dream, they called you king
Sebastian you're in a mess
