Belle Andamp; Sebastian Mary Jo Lyrics

Mary Jo Lyrics

Mary Jo, sitting alone

 Drinking tea, she just got home

 She wants, I don't know what you want

 

 Mary Jo, living alone

 Drinking gin with the telly on

 She wants

 

 The night to follow day and back again

 She doesn't want to sleep

 Well who could blame her if she wants?

 The night to follow day and back again

 She doesn't want to sleep

 Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?

 Well who could blame her, if she sleeps?

 Well who could blame her, if she's sleeping?

 

 Mary Jo, back with yourself

 For company, keep telling yourself you're young

 It'll happen soon

 

 Mary Jo, no one can see

 What you've been through

 Now you've got love to burn

 

 It's someone else's turn to go through Hell

 Now you can see them come from twenty yards

 Yeah you can tell

 It's someone else's turn to take a fall

 And now you are the one who's strong enough to help them

 The one who's strong enough to help them

 The one who's strong enough to help them all

 

 Mary Jo, you're looking thin

 You're reading a book, 'The State I Am In'

 But oh, it doesn't help at all

 What you want is a cigarette

 And a thespian with a caravanette in Hull

 

 Because life is never dull in your dreams

 A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it

 Life is never dull in your dreams

 A sorry tale of action and the men you left for

 Women, and the men you left for

 Intrigue, and the men you left for dead
