The Smith Street Band The Belly Of Your Bedroom Lyrics


The Belly Of Your Bedroom by The Smith Street Band

Our hero sits unsteadily on a highway rocking chair
Bottle of white wine, the wind it ruffles his well-cut hair
And our eyes they focus backwards to the people that he needs
They hold my instruments and my back-ups in shirts with cut-off sleeves
She told me that she kissed you and then she told me more
Our hero knows I'm angry and he knows that I'm a bore
I'm sad when it is raining, when the sun comes I'm a freak
Our hero lives in mild temperatures and gets eight hours sleep

And I know that I'm a liar and I know that I can't fill your desires With a body that's always going to let the both of us down
Half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never should have told you
My demise is only going to let one of us down
And darling I'm going

My back it aches for transport, I can hardly feel my feet
My stitches are slowly but surely falling out of me
I know I'm not exciting but I never claimed to be
And I live for this morning and I will live and let you leave
I don't understand why we have to be on standby while you're overseas
Can't you be free and still know me?
And our hero keeps a secret locked up somewhere in his teeth
Maybe I'll break one or two just to hear him speak

And I know that I'm a liar and I know that I can't fill your desires With a body that's always going to let the both of us down
Half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never should have told you
My demise is only going to let one of us down
And darling I'm going

And darling I'm going to find somewhere for us to sleep
And darling I'm going to work on every single inch of me
And darling I'm going to find somewhere for us to sleep
And darling I'm going to keep on living, to keep on living
And keep on keeping on

And I know that I'm a liar and I know that I can't fill your desires With a body that's always going to let the both of us down
Half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never should have told you
My demise is only going to let one of us down
And darling I'm going down
