Family Tree Lyrics - Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant - Belle And Sebastian

I've been feeling down 

I've been looking round the town 

For somebody just like me 

But the only ones I see 

Are the dummies in the window 

They spend their money on clothes 

It saddens me to think 

That the only ones I see are mannequins 

Looking stupid, being used and being thin 

And I don't know why I hang around with them 

The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused 

The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused 

Than be me in a cage 

With a bottle of rage 

And a family like the mafia

I've been feeling blue 

And I don't know what to do 

And I never get a thrill 

And they threw me out of school 

'Cause I swore at all the teachers 

Because they never teach us 

A thing I want to know 

We do Chemistry, Biology and Maths 

I want Poetry and Music and some laughs 

And I don't think it's an awful lot to ask 

So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go 

So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go 

Cause I'm here in a cage 

With a bottle of rage 

And a family like the mafia

If my family tree goes back to the Romans 

Then I will change my name to Jones 

If my family tree goes back to Napolean 

Then I will change my name to Smith 

If my family tree goes back to the Romans 

Then I will change my name to Jones 

If you're looking at me to be an accountant 

Then you will look but you will never see 

If you're looking at me to start having babies 

Then you can wish because I'm not here to fool around 

You can wish because I'm not here to fool around 

You can wish because I'm not here to fool around
