If You Find Yourself Caught in Love

Belle And Sebastian · Dear Catastrophe Waitress [2003]

If you find yourself caught in love

Say a prayer to the man above

Thank him for everything you know

You should thank him for every breath you blow



If you find yourself caught in love

Say a prayer to the man above

Thank him for every day you pass

You should thank him for saving your sorry ass



If you're single, but looking out

You must raise your prayer to a shout

Another partner must be found

Someone to take your life beyond

Another TV "I Love 1999"

Just one more box of cheapo wine



If you find yourself caught in love

Say a prayer to the man above



But if you don't listen to the voices then my friend

You'll soon run out of choices

What a pity it would be (what a pity)

You talk of freedom don't you see (talk of freedom)

The only freedom that you'll ever really know (that you'll ever really know)

Is written in books from long ago

Give up your will to Him that loves you

Things will change, I'm not saying overnight

You've got to start somewhere



If you find yourself out of love

Shed a tear for the one you love

Tell your boss that you've gone away

Down your tools for a holiday

If you're going off to war then I wish you well

But don't be sore

If I cheer the other team (if I cheer the)

'Cause killing people's not my scene (not my scene)

I prefer to give the inhabitants a say (the inhabitants a say)

Before you blow their town away

I like to watch them play

I like to marvel at the random beauty of a simple village girl

Why should she be the one who's killed?



If you find yourself caught in love...
