Lyrics Belle and Sebastian

Belle and Sebastian

The Party Line

How did I get here? I heard a rumour

From your girlfriend's sister that you knew me

And you end up dancing closer to me

I know that I broke the rule already

She asked me if I'm single

Going steady

I just drop my head and took a step off into the dark

Standing on the black and white tiles

Don't dance on the lines

Cause the bears eat the pretty ones

We are like the islands, divided

Jump to the beat of a party line

Jump to the beat of a party line

There is nobody here

But your body, dear

Jump to the beat of the party line

Stay

You stay

I am on this morning quite distracted

The tug of war begins on our emotion

I am leaving many people feeling

Worse than before

People like to drive their cars and smoke up

People like to sit inside and toke up

People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns and knives

I am happy to look and run

Where were you when I was king in this part of town?

Now the days of glory are gone

Jump to the beat of a party line

Jump to the beat of a party line

There is nobody here

But your body, dear

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of a party line

Jump to the beat of a party line

There is nobody here

But your body, dear

Nobody here

But your body, dear

Jump to the beat of a party line

Jump to the beat of a party line

There is nobody here

But your body, dear

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of a party line

Jump to the beat of a party line

There is nobody here

But your body, dear

Nobody here

But your body, dear
