I'm Not Living In The Real World - Belle & Sebastian

Born on a Sunday, everyday is Monday

That is what I’ve heard

About the real world

Up on the morning,

Heading for the schoolyard

Big boys being bullies make it so hard?

It’s a lesson for the real world

Seems so far away the real world

Up to the bigger school

Trying not to be foot

Hear I am new shoes and cagoule

Look I’m getting closer to the real world

(«Tell me where the girls are?»)

Thinking about happiness

Thinking about Tara

Thinking about sorrow

Thinking about Sara

Sorrow and Sara are the very same word

In my young life I get so hurt

Will I make it in the real world?

Gluing up my Airfix kit

Cigarettes after gym

Had a pint of Special Brew

Won’t do that again

Train for examination, got me traction.

Mickey mouse college course,

Looking for action

Play guitar, stacking shelves

Holding back in the real world

Now it’s Monday morning,

I’m still yawning

Scuffing down the city street

Heading for the clock on

Bought a 'Daily Record' like a real man

Well I made it to the real world

But I’m not living in the real world
