Belle & Sebastian Poor Boy Lyrics

Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed

I had a dream
That trouble always starts in someone's head
And dreams are real
When you're asleep you may as well be dead
I predicate
The last 10 years on figuring we'd meet
After the war
In some strange city on a stranger shore

Sure, you think I'd waste my life on this
To be your comfort when you needed me
Lady everlasting friendship

Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed

We had a time
If we could have it back over again
I'd be a force
Not so polite and not so delicate
I'd trot around
On velvet socks so I could not be felt I was your fan
Waiting for the day when this God will start to
Talk to me, don't venerate me now
I'm not a golden calf to be adored
See my heart beat, smell my sweet skin

Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed

If I carry you in my heart
Will you ease the pain or make it harder
I know you like to let me know you're there
If the black clouds come, will you dissapear

Is there space in my life for you?
Will I see you tomorrow?
Or will I ride on?

Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed

I could never live up
(Crush)
(Crush)
(Crush)
(Crush)
