The Party Line Songtext
von Belle and Sebastian

How did I get here? I heard a rumour
From your girlfriend′s sister that you knew me
And you end up dancing closer to me

I know that I broke the rule already
She asked me if I'm single
Going steady
I just drop my head and took a step off in to the dark

Standing on the black and white tiles
Don′t dance on the lights
'Cause the bears eat the pretty ones
We are like the islands, divided

Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line

Stay
You stay


I am on this morning quite distracted
The tug of war begins on our emotion
I am leaving many people feeling
Worse than before

People like to drive their cars and smoke up
People like to sit inside and toke up
People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns and knives

I am happy to look and run
Where were you when I was king in this part of town?
Now the days of glory are gone

Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Nobody here but your body, dear


Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line

Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here
But your body, dear
Nobody here but your body, dear
