Belle & Sebastian - For The Price Of A Cup Of Tea lyrics

For the price of a cup of tea

You'd get a line of coke

For the price of a night with me

You'd be the village joke

For the price of a pint of milk

I'll tell you all I know

About the state of the world today

Sit down, enjoy the show

She had several hours to find a place to stay

Try the coffee shop, but somewhere on the way

She heard about a place, somewhere she could go

Walked a couple of blocks to her destination

For the price of a cup of tea

You'd get a seven inches

Soul black vinyl to stop your tears

You can use my stereo?

You might be the village joke but

Don't listen to the gossip of the other folk

She just wants to be accepted in this place

There's something in her face

She will always seem exotic and aloof

If you want to know the truth

Her friend the stars dripping from the jewelled sky

When she was passing by

Would keep her calm

There was people that she knew, at least she thought she did

Be easy on the kid!

She took her winter coat from her plastic wrapper

Pushed back her fringe, see her birthmark

She can finally be the person she wanted to be
