Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Lyrics

Anthony walked to his death because he thought
He'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house
Then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?
He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that funny day
And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because
It's bound to be less borin' than today
It's bound to be less borin' than tomorrow

Hilary walked to her death because she couldn't think of anythin' to say
Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway
Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep
She was into S&M and Bible studies
Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Her cup of tea, she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one

Hilary went to the catholic church because she wanted information
The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation
Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely
But it doesn't interest, the only things she wants to know is
How and why and when and where to go?
How and why and when and where to follow?
How and why and when and where to go?
How and why and when and where to follow?

But if you are feelin' sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away
The pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
La la la la la la la

When she got back, her spirituality was thrown into confusion
So she got a special deal on renting from the man at rediffusion
Look at me, I'm on TV, it makes up for the shortcomings of bein' poor
Now I'm in a million pieces", picked up for deliberation
By the people listenin' at home
By the people watchin' on the telly
By the people listenin' at home
By the people watchin' on the telly

But if you are feelin' sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away
The pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

But if you are feelin' sinister
Go off and see a minister
Then chances are you'll probably feel better
If you stayed and played with yourself
