Love On The March - Belle & Sebastian

Animals come banging their drums

Street clears in summer

Kids run around, having their fun

Men are already drunk

A religious holiday’s begun

Maybe it’s because we have no sun

Marching begins, animals sing

Words that are twisted

To meanings of hate

Look at the face

Bitter and ready to fight

A religious holiday’s begun

Maybe it’s because we have no sun

Lost in the crowd, shouting out loud

Drinking my fill of a bottle of gin

I’ll do anything to help me

Forget about you

You’re full of it, you hopelessly flirt

With that girl who works in the pub for a night

But at closing time

You will be at my door

Tell me what it is I have to do?

I sacrifice everything for you

I was feeling so good

And the sun was shining

All I wanted was

To get across the street

I made my biggest mistake

When I left her

With a yelling match

And the broken kettle

I’m sick of this, you’re a little kid

I always have to bail you out

When you take off

With your drinking mates

And their idiot games

If you sing the songs

You half deserve to take a beat

They beat me up 'cos

I crossed the march

They said I need to learn

A bit of respect

But I am on their side

And I follow the team

When I get out of here

Somebody’s gonna get it
