Belle & Sebastian - Me And The Major lyrics

Me and the Major could become close friends cause we

Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me

Me and the Major could become close friends cause we

Get on the same train and he wants to talk

But there is too much history, too much biography between us

Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a

Number of things, he'll take a guy like me and then

Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a

Number of things, he'll take a guy like me

And put him in the army

Cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you

But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try

He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I

We're the younger generation, we grew up fast

All the others did drugs

They're taking it out on us

They're taking it out on us

Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if

I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff

Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if

I get stuck in the lift it's always with a man

Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born

I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes

Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah

I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes

Along the pavement and comes back again

Like he is on parade, and he is on parade

At least he thinks so

Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home

He doesn't have a family, he is living alone

He remembers all the punks and the hippies too

And he remembers Roxy Music in seventy-two

He doesn't understand and he doesn't try

He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I

We're the younger generation, we grew up fast

All the others did drugs

They're taking it out on us

They're taking it out on us

They're taking it out on us

I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I

Forget the Major and go up the town

Because the snow is falling
