Stop, Look and Listen - Belle & Sebastian

I finally gave myself the time to see you

I finally gave myself the time to see you

I finally gave myself the time to see you for a while

If only we could see past the veneer we’d see another side of you

Simone said she would think about not seeing me Simone said she would think about not seeing me Simone said she would think about not seeing me for a while

I hung around with her for forty days and forty nights, it was a wilderness

If only you would stop, look and listen

If only you would stop, look and listen

If only you would stop, look and listen you’d be fine

But being deaf and being blind just seems to be the way you spend your time

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Your words are true and all I do is dream

Spent summer in the city of my childhood

Spent summer in the city of my childhood

Spent summer in the city of my childhood for old times

But there’s no going back for me, the faces had all changed I was a stranger

He made the same mistake 'til he got wiser

He made the same mistake 'til he got wiser

By then it was too late and he despised her, what a crime

If he was cruel to be kind, he would’ve saved the trouble and the time

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Your words are true and all I do Think of you, your words are true and all I do Think of you, your words are true and all I do is dream

I live alone the silence it can make you

I live alone the silence it can take you

I live alone the silence it can break you after a while

Not long ago I made a deal, the ghosts around the house all seem to like me My life is falling down I am surrounded

My life is falling down I am confounded

My life is falling down I am dumbfounded, what a mess

I lay back silent as a cat and let you work your mysteries of healing

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Being alone, it’s not a problem when I think of you

Your words are true and all I do Think of you, your words are true and all I do Think of you, your words are true and all I do is dream
