Perfect Couples - Belle and Sebastian Written by:Sarah Martin/Stephen Jackson/Stuart Murdoch
I know some friends of mine Think about them all the time Why can't my life be like that
I've seen them in the park Restauranting after dark Working out on their yoga mats
Stars of the dance crowd Married young took their vows Comfort in their boldness and their flair
Dab hands for all to see Stroke of brush and poetry His cut of cloth the contours of her hair
Thank you for the invite tonight
Perfect snacklets perfect drinks
I'm getting ideas from your interiors
Perfect apartments perfect kids
Perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done
Those perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done
Don't make me feel so good Expect that stuff in hollywood Not in my current milieu
***ual tension at the fridge He makes for the organic figs Belmondo lips dangling a cig
And she Just back from her hike And to the gallery she might glide by With a basket on her bike
They've got issues too
But what can you do
Bad times They'll always see them through
It always lurked in their mind Perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done In the back of her mind Perfect couples
They keep breaking up
What have I done
It always lurked in his mind Those perfect couples Are now breaking up
What have they done In the back of their minds Perfect couples
They keep breaking up
What have I done
Never happy with my girl Jealous of a different world Suddenly the years slip away
What am I waiting for I see those perfect couples and I What makes me close the door
I see those perfect couples
Why can't I be like them I admire the most
Finding fault with my heart It's always been the same and then And always back to the start
What makes me get in the fray
Then just throw it away
Yeah I throw it away
Yes I throw it away Only to find
Yes I throw it away Only to find
Perfect couples are breaking up
Perfect couples are breaking up
Perfect couples are breaking up
Perfect couples are breaking up
Perfect couples are breaking up
Perfect couples are breaking up
Perfect couples are breaking up
