Allie Lyrics - Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance - Belle And Sebastian

Allie, what would you do? 

When there's bombs in the middle east, you want to hurt yourself, 

When there's knives in the city streets, you want to end yourself, 

When there's fun in your mother's house, you want to cry yourself to sleep. 

Allie, what would you do? 

With your fears, because they're adding one by one 

And your mountains are obscured behind the sun 

And the person that you could be is crumbling into dust. 

You're in the mess 'cause you thought 

You'd be someone else 

'cause the tricks in your head are a lie 

Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie 

Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie 

Allie, hand on your head 

And a prayer from the soon-to-be-closing library 

And if you looked from here, you would surely see 

There's a softness in your heart, there's a poetry to come 

You bought that gun 'cause you thought 

You'd be someone else 

'cause the tricks in your head are a lie 

Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie 

Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie 

You made a list of all your heroes 

And you thought about what they went through 

Yeah, you thought about what they went through. 

It's much darker, much harder, than anything that happened to you 

Allie, what would you do? 

When your seven-year plan happens to someone else, 

And the people in your life you would happily shelf, 

When day falls night, you are truly on your own? 

You're in this place 'cause you thought 

You'd be someone else 

But the tricks in your head are a lie 

Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie 

Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie
