The Life Pursuit

The Life Pursuit (人生追求) - Belle & Sebastian

Written by：Richard Colburn/Chris Geddes/Stuart Murdoch/Bob Kildea/Stevie Jackson/Mick Cooke

What do you do when hope is all but gone

You need a brother to lean on

But your brother's gone

Your sister's in the wrong part of town

I took a walk to remember ecstasy

It's not today not even yesterday

Songs of praise all very well

Their voices swell

They tug at sadness

Like love tugging at your sleeve

Is it worth the pain

To walk into the void again

In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light

Light that's found beyond

Your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad

Beyond all estimation

Is your belly fat is your man a twat

Do in growing hairs provide

You with strange fascination

The highlight of your day

Is plucking all the roots away

You took a walk to remember ecstasy

It's not today not even yesterday

In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light

The smallest of sparks

He's a tinderbox

He's a flaming torch

Pinch yourself quite hard

In a place that hurts

And if it doesn't work

Ask your friend to comply

And if they hit the spot

You can let yourself cry

And when the teardrops stop

I will take you for a drive

I'll explain all I know about

The spiritual side

Life that's found beyond

Your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad

Beyond all estimation

Life that's found beyond

Your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad

So stake your destination

Life that's found beyond

Your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad

Beyond all estimation

Life that's found beyond

Your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad

Beyond all estimation
