[00:00.00]Belle and Sebastian - For The Price Of A Cup Of Tea
[00:09.91]For the price of a cup of tea
[00:14.53]You’d get a line of coke
[00:20.38]For the price of a night with me
[00:25.06]You’d be the village joke
[00:30.95]For the price of a pint of milk
[00:35.60]I’ll tell you all I know
[00:41.07]About the state of the world today
[00:46.07]Sit down, enjoy the show
[00:52.57]She had several hours to find a place to stay
[00:58.70]Try the coffee shop, but somewhere on the way
[01:04.22]She heard about a place, somewhere she could go
[01:09.33]Walked a couple of blocks to her destination
[01:13.14]For the price of a cup of tea
[01:17.73]You’d get a seven inches
[01:23.48]Soul black vinyl to stop your tears
[01:28.37]You can use my stereo
[01:30.08]You might be the village joke but
[01:32.02]Don’t listen to the gossip of the other folk
[01:45.38]She just wants to be accepted in this place
[01:49.17]There’s something in her face
[01:51.38]She will always seem exotic and aloof
[01:54.36]If you want to know the truth
[01:56.42]Her friend the stars dripping from the jewelled sky
[01:59.38]When she was passing by
[02:01.70]Would keep her calm
[02:02.77]There was people that she knew,
[02:04.98]at least she thought she did
[02:06.94]Be easy on the kid!
[02:09.23]She took her winter coat from her plastic wrapper
[02:15.20]Pushed back her fringe, see her birthmark
[02:19.73]She can finally be the person she wanted to be
[02:25.08]For the price of a cup of tea....
