Perfect Couples Lyrics - Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance - Belle And Sebastian

I know some friends of mine 

Think about them all the time 

Why can't my life be like that? 

I've seen them in the park 

Restauranting after dark 

Working out on their yoga mats 

Stars of the dancehall crowd 

Married young, took their vows 

Comfort in their boldness and their flair 

Dab hands for all to see 

Stroke of brush and poetry 

His cut of cloth, the contours of her hair 

Thank you for the invite tonight 

Perfect snacklets, perfect drinks 

I'm getting ideas from your interiors 

Perfect apartment, perfect kids

Perfect couples are breaking up 

What have they done? 

Those perfect couples are breaking up 

What have they done? 

Don't make me feel so good 

Expect that stuff in Hollywood 

Not in my current milieu 

Sexual tension at the fridge 

He makes for the organic figs 

Belmondo lips, dangling a cig 

And she, just back from her hike 

And to the gallery she might glide by 

With a basket on a bike (on a bike) 

They've got issues to 

But what can you do? 

Bad times, they'll always see them through 

Photos 

(It's always lurked in her mind) 

Perfect couples are breaking up 

What have they done? (In the back of her mind) 

Perfect couples, they keep breaking up 

What have I done? (It's always lurked in his mind) 

Those perfect couples are now breaking up 

What have they done? (In the back of their minds) 

Perfect couples, they keep breaking up 

What have I done? 

Never happy with my girl 

Jealous of a different world 

Suddenly the years slip away 

What am I waiting for? (I see those perfect couples and I) 

What makes me close the door? 

I see those perfect couples (Why can't I be like them?) 

I admire the most 

Finding fault with my heart 

(Its always been the same and then) 

And always back to the start 

What makes me get in the fray 

then just throw it away? 

Yeah, I throw it away 

Yes, I throw it away (only to find) x2 

Perfect couples are breaking up...
