Belle and Sebastian
Wrapped Up In Books (Live)
[Verse 1]
It was pretty bright up on the rainbow bridge tonight
I could see into your window although you’re far away
You were racing in a car beside a boy
You just don’t know if he is up for
What you have in mind
If he is up for what you have in mind
[Verse 2]
Change is on the cards, but this time it will be hard
I never want to leave you, we’ve never had a fight
You should never split a pole
You should never split at all
I wish I had two paths I could follow
I’d write the ending without any sorrow
[Harmonica Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting there
I will wrap my hands around you
I know it will be fine
[Chorus]
We’ve got a fantasy affair
We didn’t get wet, we didn’t dare
Our aspirations are wrapped up in books
Our inclinations are hidden in looks
[Bridge]
Summer’s hastening on (Summer’s hastening on)
I’m trying to get a feeling from (Get a feeling from)
The city but I’ve been unfaithful
I’ve been traveling abroad
[Chorus]
We’ve got a fantasy affair
We didn’t get wet, we didn’t dare
But the fantasy remains
You better come back to Earth again
Our aspirations are wrapped up in books
Our inclinations are hidden in looks
[Instrumental Outro]
