- Play For Today - Belle and Sebastian
Stuart：Im in a play written today about a boy
Who hides in attics when the sun is up
Everyone is at work
What will I do
Where will I go
Show me the way
The truth the anger show me rules of thumb
Show the way to grow old
Love is a guide
The endless river of the soul
But we are mean
The dried up riverbeds of rock and stone
Lust is my friend
She comes to me when I am tired
Life is a rope death is a myth
Love is a fraud its misunderstood
Work is a sentence familys a drag
This house is a trap
Dee Dee：Im in a play written today about a girl
She gets on perfectly with young and old
Everybody loves her
What would she wear the cut of her hair
The way that she slides
Gracefully into the working week
She hides her baggage inside
Shes got a friend
An ugly monster that will eat your face
She hides her crime
A hefty catalogue of wasted time
Shes got a friend
A lonely monster that will prey on you
Life is a secret death is a myth
Love is a fraud its misunderstood
Work is a sentence familys a drag
This house is a trap
Life is a secret death is a myth
Love is a fraud its misunderstood
Work is a sentence familys a drag
This house is a trap
Stuart：Im in a play written today about a boy
Tired and melancholy takes the weight
Takes the weight of the world
Dee Dee：I walked alone loving a song
Walking the earth
The worn-out sister who is twenty-three
Dried and wrinkled alone
Ill give you a month
To see past shadows in your sacred night
Ill give you a week
To look Medusa in the eye
Ill give you a month
To notice heaven in the sight of stage
Dee Dee：Youre king inside your head
Youre sitting on the throne of sand
Youre pushing back the tide
Stuart：So lift the mountain up
So tie the writers ribbons down
Assemble all your troops
Both：We go to war with metaphors
And suddenly see sense
And suddenly see sense
And when you do Ill have the higher ground
Ill have the higher ground
Youre not the king of me
Stuart：Ill take my chance and play for tyranny
I build the sets I light the scene
Were prettier when we are on the screen
Both：I build the sets I light the scene
Were braver when were on the sacred screen
The backstage of your life
Is filled with props and lines you should have sung
The backstage of your life
Is filled with echoes of the ones you love
