Im A Cuckoo Tab

I'm A Cuckoo
Belle And Sebastian

	    
I'm glad to see you

I had a funny dream
		   
You were wearing funny shoes
		   
You were going to a dance
						  	     
You were dressed like a punk but you were too young to remember



Glad to see you

I'm outside the house 
		      
I'm not 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
				   
And a wondering how things could've been



I'm happy for you

You've made it hard for me
		     
I counted on your company
			
You were staying with your friends tonight
			
I'm feeling sorry for myself
				
I keep taking everything to be to be a sign


I'm happy for you

Now I know this hurt is poison
	      
Too sharp to be bled
		
I'm sitting on my empty bed
	
On my empty bed
   		 		
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding

		
I'd rather be in Tokyo
			
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
			
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
					
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

Middle 8:      							

	     
Scary moment, lovin' every moment
     			
I was high from playing shows
			
We lost a singer to her clothes
    			
My trouble raised its 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
  				
I know I need my Shepherd here tonight

		
Breaking off is misery
		     
I see a wilderness for you and me
     		
Punctuated by philosophy
				   
And a wondering how things could've been

				


Id like to see you

But really I should stay away
   		
And let you settle down
			
I've got no claims to your crown
	
I was the boss of you
	
And I loved you
You know I loved you
    	      		
It's all over now

		
I was there for you
When you were lonely
			
I was there when you were sad
			
I was there when you were bad
	
Now it's my time of need
	   					
Im thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?

		
I'd rather be in Tokyo
			
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
			
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
					
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
