Put The Book Back On The Shelf Lyrics - 3.. 6.. 9 Seconds Of Light - Belle And Sebastian

Sebastian you're in a mess 

You had a dream, they called you king 

Of all the hipsters, is it true? 

Or are you still the queen? 

Like getting blood out of a stone 

The city left you all alone 

You came to dance, but there's no poignancy 

When they all leave you standing alone 

The wider issues of the day 

Don't interest you, you'll have to pay 

For looking at the floor 

When people talk to you

You wrote a book about yourself 

The people left it on the shelf 

You'll write another one 

Now you've got a story that's worth talking about 

Are you happy with yourself? 

Are you talking to yourself? 

Are you happy with yourself? 

Put the book back on the shelf 

I know the company you keep 

You're on the sofa hidden deep 

While on the telly Sid James speaks 

To you like God 

Photos 

You're always looking for a sign 

But boy you blow it every time 

You hear a voice begin to speak 

You ignore it and go softly to sleep
