The Party Line - Belle & Sebastian

How did I get here

(I heard a rumour)

From your girlfriend’s sister

(That you knew me)

And you end up dancing

(Close up to me)

I know that I broke the rule already

She asked me if I’m single

Going steady

I just trod my head and took a step off into the dark

Standing on the block of my tires

Don’t dance on the lights because the bears eat the pretty ones

We are like the islands divided

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line

There is no one in here but your body dear

Jump to the beat of the party line

Stay

You stay

I am on this morning quite distracted

The talk of all begins and our emotion

I am leaving many people feeling

Worse than before

People like to drive the cars and smoke up People like to sit inside and toke up People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns

And knives

I am happy to look and run

Where were you when I was king in this part of town

Now the days of glory are gone

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line

There is nobody here but your body dear

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line

There is nobody here but your body dear

Nobody here but your body dear

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line

There is nobody here but your body dear

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line

There is nobody here but your body dear

Nobody here but your body dear
