Belle & Sebastian - Beautiful Lyrics

She lay in bed all night watching the colors change
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change
Into green and gold

The doctor told her years ago that she was ill
The doctor told her years ago to take a pill
The doctor told her years ago that she'd go blind
If she wasn't careful

They let Lisa go blind
The world was at her feet
And she was looking down

They let Lisa go blind
And everyone she knew
Thought she was beautiful
Only slightly mental

Beautiful, only temperamental
Beautiful, only slightly mental
Beautiful

She thought it would be fun to try photography
She thought it would be fun to try pornography
She thought it would be fun to try most anything
She was tired of sleeping

They let Lisa go blind
Let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind
She's looking like a queen

But if you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be a thousand barren mothers
There to talk to her

If you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be two hundred troubled
Teenagers to sit with her and talk to her

If you knew what's going on in her life
What's going on in her life
There would be a documentary on Radio 4

She made herself a pair of orthopedic shoes
She thought it was the answer to the fashion blues
She thought it was the answer to the fashion blues
But she walked with a limp

They let Lisa go blind
Let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind
Let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind

They let Lisa go blind
Let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind
Let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind

They let Lisa go blind
She's looking like a queen
You know she is beautiful
Only slightly mental
Beautiful, only temperamental
