Belle & Sebastian - If You’re Feeling Sinister lyrics

Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again

If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?

He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that Wednesday

And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because

It's bound to be less boring than today

It's bound to be less boring than tomorrow

Hilary walked to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say

Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway

Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep She was into S&M and bible studies

Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me

Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one

Her cup of tea, she would admit to me

Oh but her cup of tea, she would admit to no one

Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information

The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation

Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely

But it doesn't interest, the only things she wants to know is How and why and when and where to go

How and why and when and where to follow

How and why and when and where to go

How and why and when and where to follow

But if you are feeling sinister

Go off and see a minister

He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever

When she got back, her spirituality was thrown into confusion

So she got a special deal on renting

From the man at Rediffusion

"Look at me! I'm on TV

It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor

Now I'm in a million pieces", picked up for deliberation

By the people listening at home

By the people watching on the telly

By the people listening at home

By the people watching on the telly

But if you are feeling sinister

Go off and see a minister

Chances are you'll probably feel better

If you stayed and played with yourself
