Belle and Sebastian
Juliet Naked
[Verse 1]
Fickle love, nothing like the heavens above
It don't add up, I went and told the doctor of love
And he sent me to the priest
Who told me to get down on my knees
But I'm in too deep
There's quicksand on the battlefield
[Verse 2]
A love supreme, lasting like the gold-medal dream
There was me and awesome you, hosting in a heavenly zoo
Just a, a look, a glance
It's better than the closest of dances
Our love's assured with me
Even if the picture's obscured
Even if the picture's obscured
[Verse 3]
Two hundred lines, Juliet, you're growing up blind
You should reinvent your face, reinvent the whole human race
You were born with so much style
You've been ahead for so many years
When you finally met your matching soul
You ran out like a little girl
You ran out like a little girl
You ran out like a little girl
You ran out like a little girl
[Verse 4]
Prayers and pills, dusty nights in quivering hotels
You're an act sublime, you're Stepford to my Goffin and King
Singing, "Will you still love me tomorrow
When the cocaine is gone?"
And you smile your smile so big and free
And tell me I should come again
And tell me I should come again
And tell me I should come again
And tell me I should come again
