The Life Pursuit歌词

The Life Pursuit - Belle and Sebastian

What do you do when hope is all but gone
You need a brother to lean on
But your brother's gone

Your sister's in the wrong part of town

I took a walk to remember ecstasy

It's not today not even yesterday

Songs of praise all very well
Their voices swell
They tug at sadness
Like love tugging at your sleeve
Is it worth the pain

To walk into the void again

In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light

Light that's found beyond your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad beyond all estimation

Is your belly fat is your man a twat
Do in-growing hairs provide you with strange fascination
The highlight of your day is plucking all the roots away

You took a walk to remember ecstasy

It's not today not even yesterday

In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light
The smallest of sparks
He's a tinderbox he's a flaming torch

Pinch your self quite hard in a place that hurts

If it doesn't work ask your friend to comply

And if they hit the spot

You can let yourself cry
And when the teardrops stop I will take you for a drive

I'll explain all I know about the spiritual side

Life that's found beyond your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad beyond all estimation
Life that's found beyond your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad beyond all estimation

Life that's found beyond your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad beyond all estimation

Life that's found beyond your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad beyond all estimation
