Belle And Sebastian Mornington Crescent Lyrics

Mornington Crescent Lyrics

Mornington crescent, I think of you

Rain in the southeast, men feeling blue

Men in their bowlers, kids with their spats

Ladies with chauffeurs, dogs wearing hats and jackets

Rich apartments, old punk posters, tartan garments

I love the exquisite array, I love the camp as camp parade

The possibilities suggest themselves to me



Mornington crescent, the sun in the east

I've got a job on for a senegalese, rich arbitrator in African law

To paint his apartment, strip down the walls

Came down between us lately

Lust and want and need just caved in is it wise?

The answer's no, it never is but since you've asked

We pause thoughtfully for twenty seconds reprieve

Then it's off with the briefs



Mornington crescent, sin is my game

We'll all be lined up, irrelevant fame

Next to the broker, the nurse and the drunk

I was a joker, the wannabe punk, that got lucky

Had a good time, life became fruitless, egotistic

Swine to all your friends, all the ladies and the men

The possibilities suggest themselves to me, we're a little too free
