I'm A Cuckoo
Belle & Sebastian
I'm glad to see you
I had a funny dream and
You were wearing funny shoes
You were going to a dance
You were dressed like a punk
But you were to young to remember.
I'm glad to see you
I'm outside the house
And I've been thinking right today
I've got no energy
I'm glad that you were waiting with me
Tell me all about your day.
Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could have been.
I'm happy for you
You made it hard for me
I counted on your company
You were stayin' with your friends tonight
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I keep taking everything to be a sign
I'm happy for you
But now I know this hurt is poison
Too sharp to be bled
I'm sitting on my empty bed
I'm on my empty bed
At night the fever grows itโs pounding, pounding.
I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy, oh.
And watch the sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me
I'm a cuckoo.
Scary moment
I'm loving every moment
I was high from playing shows
We lost a singer to her clothes
My trouble raised it's ugly head
I was revealed and I was home in bed
I was a kid again.
Jesus told me
Go after every coin
Like it was the last in the world
And protect the wayward child
But I'm a little lost sheep
I need my Bo Peep
You know I need my shepherd here tonight.
Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could have been.
I'd like to see you
But really I should stay away
And let you settle down.
I got no claims to your crown (let you settle down)
I was the boss of you, and I loved you
You know I loved you
It's all over know
And I was there for you
When you were lonely
I was there when you were bad
I was there when you were sad
Now it's my time of need
I'm thinkin', do I have to plead to get you by my side
I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy, oh.
And watch the sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me
I'm a cuckoo.
