This Is Just A Modern Rock Song Lyrics - Push Barman To Open Old Wounds - Belle And Sebastian

Emma tried to run away 

I followed her across the city 

She went out to the easterhouse 

Because she liked the sound of it 

She didn't have a single penny 

She stuck a finger in the air 

She tried to flag down an aeroplane 

I suppose she needs a holiday 

I put my arm around her waist 

She put me on the ground with judo 

She didn't recognise my face 

She wasn't even looking 

Laura's feeling just ideal 

Her horoscope was nearly perfect 

She's thinking of something to do 

Because she is the birthday girl

She walked out to the edge of town 

She saw me lying in the park 

She took emma by the hand 

They've got a lot in common 

I'll leave them to do what they want 

I'll leave them to do what they need to 

I'll go and play with words and pictures 

I'll admit I'm feeling strange 

I'm not as sad as doestoevsky 

I'm not as clever as mark twain 

I'll only buy a book for the way it looks 

And then I stick it on the shelf again 

Now I could tell you what I'm thinking 

But it never seems to do you good 

It's beyond me what a girl can see 

I'm only lucid when I'm writing songs

This is just a modern rock song 

This is just a sorry lament 

We're four boys in corduroys 

We're not terrific but we're competent 

Stevie's full of good intentions 

Richards into rock 'n' roll 

Stuart's staying in and he thinks it's a sin 

That he has to leave the house at all 

This is just a modern rock song 

This is just a tender affair 

I count "three, four" and then we start to slow 

Because a song has got to stop somewhere
