Taken from Belle and Sebastian's album 'A Bit of Previous' out now on Matador Records.

Lyrics:

I read your letter from before

You’ve been having so much fun

Is it possible you’re just telling me

To draw me in?

There’s an array of douchebags lining up

To play their stupid parts

And did you ever pause

Before you give your love away?

This is my life

This is my so-called life

This is my life

This is my only life

And when you came to me that summer

You were just a shell

You were holding close to mother

She was ashen with the strain

And there was miles to go yet

Miles to build that

Sister loving bond

And then I figured that the music

Set your soul ablaze

And it’s probably not suprising

That you’re burning through the days

And if I had a second encore

I would probably do the same

And if the intimacy ever stops

I’ll miss your stories

Miss your letters

Every awkward fumble should be framed

Strange days

Poison characters

My particular haze

Please send...

Enjoy the fervour of your love life

Cause it doesn’t last

And with a suddenness that is cruel

Everything can go to hell

But then you find a new path

Leave the old path

Leave the games behind

And on a morning climb you see the grime

And feel amazed

I know you felt you gave your best

But it was never going to do

There’s always going to be a younger

Hungry idol coming through

I know it wasn’t thrilling

Just like living

You and me could talk like kissing

Every conversation was divine

This is my life

This is my so-called life

This is my life

This is my only life
