Belle & Sebastian - Me & The Major Lyrics
Me and the major could become close friends cause weGet on the same train and he wants to talk to meMe and the major could become close friends cause weGet on the same train and he wants to talkBut there is too much history, too much biography between usMe and the major dont see eye to eye on aNumber of things, hell take a guy like me and thenMe and the major dont see eye to eye on aNumber of things, hell take a guy like meAnd put him in the armyCause the queens own army makes a man of youBut he doesnt understand and he doesnt tryHe knows theres something missing and he knows its you and iWere the younger generation, we grew up fastAll the others did drugsTheyre taking it out on usTheyre taking it out on usMe and the major are from different worlds, but ifI get stuck in the lift its always with a toffMe and the major are from different worlds, but ifI get stuck in the lift its always with a manOf noble standing who looks down on me like I was never bornI think the majors going quite insane, he goesAlong the pavement and comes back again, oh yeahI think the majors going quite insane, he goesAlong the pavement and comes back againLike he is on parade, and he is on paradeAt least he thinks soNow he is swapping his tent for a sheltered homeHe doesnt have a family, he is living aloneHe remembers all the punks and the hippies tooAnd he remembers roxy music in seventy-twoHe doesnt understand and he doesnt tryHe knows theres something missing and he knows its you and iWere the younger generation, we grew up fastAll the others did drugsTheyre taking it out on usTheyre taking it out on usTheyre taking it out on usI want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so iForget the major and go up the townBecause the snow is falling
