Belle & Sebastian Slow Graffitti Lyrics

Theres a portrait
In a back room,
Which I keep for days upon, which I relent
And gaze for hours on the muscle skin and bone of some
Imaginary friend.

So how about it?
Show me please how I will look in twenty years
And let me please,
Interpret history in every line and scar thats painted
There in front of me.

It doesnt matter what Im thinking
What I tell myself to do
Ill end up calling.

I stay in to defrost the fridge
Now the kid has gone to bed
A feeling of dread.
At least when shes around the troubles there,
Its worse to wake up with her falling round the room.

Listen johnny; youre like a mother
To the girl youve fallen for,
And youre still falling.

Listen johnny;
Youre like a mother to the girl youve fallen for,
And youre still falling,
And if they come tonight
Youll roll up tight and take whatevers coming to you next.
