A Century of Fakers

There are people going hungry far away They've got nothing on their plates And you're filling your fat face With every different kind of cake If you ever go lardy, or go lame I will drop you straight away Oh that's the chance you're gonna take For every stupid thing you say There are people going lonely, and they'll stay Lonely far into the year Cause you're making blinkers fashionable And fashionably you'll say, "All is equal in love and war" And I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do And you pretend to read a book You'll never finish till the day That the author dedicated To a century of fakers They took your mold and they burned it On the fire in history today Yeah the author dedicated To a century of fakers He was an anarchist He tried his best but it wasn't good enough La la la la la Did I say I would see you soon? Well I'm sorry But I just came off my bike And my face is scarred And chance has barred me seeing you tonight I was over the other side of the city And if the truth be known I'd say That you look great from there Before you shaved your golden hair today Everybody's trying to make us Another century of fakers They took you mold and burned it On the fire of history today Everybody's trying to make us Another cool decade of fakers And everybody's trying to make us Another century of fakers Everybody's trying to make us Another century of fakers --- A Century of Fakers - Belle and Sebastian
