Sukie In The Graveyard Lyrics - The Life Pursuit - Belle And Sebastian

Sukie was a kid, she liked to hang out in the graveyard 

She did brass rubbings, she learned you never had to press hard 

When she was finished hanging out she was all alone 

She decided that she better check in at home 

There was an awful row between her mum and dad 

They said she hadn't done this, she hadn't done that 

If she wanted to remain inside the family home 

She'd have to tow the line, she'd have to give it a go 

It didn't suit Sukie 

She took her things and left

Sukie was a kid, she liked to hang out at the art school 

She didn't enroll, but she wiped the floor with all the arseholes 

She took a bijou flat with the fraternity cat 

She hid inside the attic of the sculpture building 

She had a slut slave and his name was Dave 

She said, "Be my photo bitch and I'll make you rich" 

He didn't believe her but the boy revered her 

He got her meals and he got her a bed 

He watched behind the screen and she started to undress 

He never got far 

Just lookin' and playing guitar 

Photos 

Autumn hanging down all the trees are draped like chandeliers 

Now Sukie saw the beauty but she wasn't wet behind the ears 

She had an A1 body and a face to match 

She didn't have money, she didn't have cash 

With the winter coming on, and the attic cold 

She had to press her nose on the refectory wall 

They served steamed puddings, she went without 

She had to pose for life for all the scholars of art 

She didn't feel funny, she didn't feel bad 

Peeling away everything she had 

She had the grace of an eel, sleek and stark 

As the shadows played tricks on the girl in the dark 

Sukie was a kid, and she liked to hang out in the graveyard 

Sukie was a kid, and she liked to hang out in the graveyard 

Sukie was a kid, and she liked to hang out in the graveyard 

Sukie was a kid, and she liked to hang out in the graveyard
