Belle & Sebastian - The Model lyrics

I will confess to you<br>Because you made me think about the times<br>You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over<br>The vision was a masterpiece of comic timing<br>But you wouldn't laugh at all<br>And I wonder what the boy was thinking<br>The picture was an old collage of something classical<br>The model with a tragic air<br>Because without a doubt he'd given up the fight<br>The ghost of somebody at his side<br><br>I will confess to you<br>Because I didn't think about the message<br>As I walked down the alleyway it was a sunday<br>And all my friends deserted me because you painted me<br>As the fraud I really was<br>And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad<br>'cause lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold<br>When she knew she had been bad<br>She met another blind kid at a fancy dress<br>It was the best sex she ever had<br><br>I'll send a dress to you<br>Because it's needing badly taken in<br>But I was so embarressed when I missed your party<br>It was me that paid for it eventually<br>Because you know how much I wanted<br>To meet your friend the star of stage and local press<br>The dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around here<br>And I'm no different from the rest<br>I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with<br>The girl next door who's famous for showing her breasts<br><br>You're not impressed by me<br>But it's a funny way for you to tell me<br>A whisper in a choir stall<br>The man was talking about you simultaneously<br>Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter<br>Because I have been sleeping badly lately<br>I know you were historical from all the books I've read<br>But I thought you could be bluffing<br>And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss<br>It's days and months before I see you again
