Belle And Sebastian - The Life Pursuit Lyrics
What do you do when hope is all but gone?You need a brother to lean onBut your brother's goneYour sister's in the wrong part of townI took a walk to remember ecstasyIt's not today, not even yesterdaySongs of praise all very wellTheir voices swellThey tug at sadnessLike love tugging at your sleeveIs it worth the painTo walk into the void again?In your darkest hour he is the tiniest lightLight that's found beyond your present situationAnd it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimationIs your belly fat, is your man a twat?Do in-growing hairs provide you with strange fascination?The highlight of your day is plucking all the roots awayYou took a walk to remember ecstasyIt's not today, not even yesterdayIn your darkest hour he is the tiniest lightThe smallest of sparksHe's a tinderbox, he's a flaming torchPinch yourself quite hard in a place that hurtsIf it doesn't work, ask your friend to complyAnd if they hit the spotYou can let yourself cryAnd when the teardrops stop, I will take you for a driveI'll explain all I know about the spiritual sideLife that's found beyond your present situationAnd it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation
