Put The Book Back On The Shelf lyrics
Sebastian you re in a mess
You had a dream, they called you king
Of all the hipsters, is it true?
Or are you still the queen?
Like getting blood out of a stone
The city left you all alone
You came to dance, but there s no poignancy
When they all leave you standing alone
The wider issues of the day
Don t interest you, you ll have to pay
For looking at the floor
When people talk to you
You wrote a book about yourself
The people left it on the shelf
You ll write another one
Now you ve got a story that s worth talking about
Are you happy with yourself?
Are you talking to yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?
Put the book back on the shelf
I know the company you keep
You re on the sofa hidden deep
While on the telly Sid James speaks
To you like God
You re always looking for a sign
But boy you blow it every time
You hear a voice begin to speak
You ignore it and go softly to sleep
