belle and sebastian - It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career слова песни
He had a stroke at the age of 24It could have been a brilliant careerPainting lines in a school that was too well knownPainting lines with a friend that had gone beforeShe challenged everyone to a fightBut the prefects all backed downAnd they ran her out of townCause she drank and swore and spokeOut of turn, she was the village jokeShe had a stroke at the age of 24 It could have been a brilliant career Getting clients to finance her strategies Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday She wears the clothes of an emperor But her paintings are a sham And they`re going for a grand When the dealers come to view Do they ever see the real you?He had a stroke at the age of 24 It could have been a brilliant career Selling lies to the boys with the old DansettesPulling the wool, playing the fool, it`s no wonder thatHe is dribbling spit tonight And the one he sent away Was the only one who stayed With a spoon and a decent book And you can tell by the way she looks he is sorry and resigned As he wets himself for the final time
