Belle Andamp; Sebastian The Model Lyrics

The Model Lyrics

I will confess to you

 Because you made me think about the times

 You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over

 The vision was a masterpiece of comic timing

 But you wouldn't laugh at all

 And I wonder what the boy was thinking

 The picture was an old collage of something classical

 The model with a tragic air

 Because without a doubt he'd given up the fight

 The ghost of somebody at his side

 

 I will confess to you

 Because I didn't think about the message

 As I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday

 And all my friends deserted me because you painted me

 As the fraud I really was

 And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad

 'Cause Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold

 When she knew she had been bad

 She met another blind kid at a fancy dress

 It was the best sex she ever had

 

 I'll send a dress to you

 Because it's needing badly taken in

 But I was so embarressed when I missed your party

 It was me that paid for it eventually

 Because you know how much I wanted

 To meet your friend the star of stage and local press

 The dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around here

 And I'm no different from the rest

 I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with

 The girl next door who's famous for showing her breasts

 

 You're not impressed by me

 But it's a funny way for you to tell me

 A whisper in a choir stall

 The man was talking about you simultaneously

 Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter

 Because I have been sleeping badly lately

 I know you were historical from all the books I've read

 But I thought you could be bluffing

 And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss

 It's days and months before I see you again
