Belle and Sebastian and Belle - Come on Home

Come on home
There's a hole the size of ancient Rome
Come on back
You're giving me a heart attack

We are young, running through the fields of life
Playing all the games that people play
When you see them in the films from yesterday

Give a chance to the old
Set the record straight for the welfare state
Give a chance to the young
Everyone deserves a life in the sun

Twenty years
I know that's when my love appeared
Twenty turns
We took together 'round the sun

We are old, trekking in the fields of snow
Follow in my footsteps, noble page
Never fear from time or cold or age

Give a chance to the old
Set the record straight for the welfare state
Give a chance to the young
Everyone deserves a life in the sun

I don't care if it's cold outside
'Cause my baby keeps me warm (ooh ah)
And I don't care what my boss is saying
'Cause I left my mind at home (I left my mind at home)
I know you worry 'bout the way we live
The things we could have done (the things we could have done)
But if you're loving other people close
You will never be alone

Ba dah ba dah, Ba dah ba dah, Ba dah ba dah, bah
I watch, I wait
I know that we'll never be together in that way
Doesn't stop me wishing, doesn't stop me praying
Doesn't stop me wishing, doesn't stop me praying

Come on home
There is room beside me on the throne
We are king and queen of might have been
Heirs apparent to the scene

Come on back
We are racing the eternal track
Step for step and toe to toe
I will take your arm and off we go

We will try to be true
Often time corrupts what you thought you knew
We will try to be fair
If you hide your love, it will wither and fade

Give a chance to the old (give a chance)
Set the record straight for the welfare state
Give a chance to the young (give a chance)
Everyone deserves a life in the sun
