The Model — текст песни (belle and sebastian)

I will confess to you
Because you made me think about the times
You turn the picture on to me and I`ll turn over
The vision was a masterpiece of comic timing
You wouldn`t laugh at all
And I wondered what the boy was thinking
The picture was an old collage of something classical
The model with a tragic air
Because without a doubt he`d given up the fight
The ghost of somebody at his side

I will confess to you
Because I didn`t think about the message
As I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday
All my friends deserted me because you painted me
As the fraud I really was
And if you think you see with just your eyes you`re mad
`Cause Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold
When she knew she had been bad
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress
It was the best sex she ever had

I`ll send a dress to you
Because it`s needing badly taken in
But I was so embarressed that I missed your party
It was me that paid for it eventually
Because you know how much I wanted
To meet your friend the star of stage and local press
The dream of all the bowlie kids that hang around here
And I`m no different from the rest
I`m not too proud to say that I`m okay with
The girl next door who`s famous for showing her chest

You`re not impressed by me
But it`s a funny way for you to tell me
A whisper in a choir stall
The man was talking about you simultaneously
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
Because I have been sleeping badly lately
I know you were historical from all the books I`ve read
But I thought you could be bluffing
And with this chance I`ve missed I feel remiss
It`s days and months before I`ll see you again
