I'm A Cuckoo Lyrics

Performed by Belle & Sebastian

I'm glad to see you
I had a funny dream
And you were wearing funny shoes
You were going to a dance
You were dressed like a punk but you are too young to remember

I'm glad to see you
I'm outside the house
I'm not thinking right today
I've got no energy
I'm glad that you are waiting with me
Tell me all about your day

Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could've been

I'm happy for you
You've made it hard for me
I counted on your company
You are staying with your friends tonight
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I keep taking everything to be a sign

I'm happy for you
But now I know this hurt is poison
Too sharp to be bled
I'm sitting on my empty bed
I'm on my empty bed
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding

I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

Scary moment, lovin' every moment
I was high from playing shows
We lost a singer to her clothes
My trouble raised its ugly head
I was revealed
And I was home in bed
I was a kid again

Jesus told me, go after every coin like it was the last in the world
And protect the wayward child
But I'm a little lost sheep
I need my Bo Peep
You know I need My Shepherd here tonight

Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could've been

I'd like to see you
But really I should stay away
And let you settle down
I've got no claims to your crown
I was the boss of you
And I loved you
You know I loved you
It's all over now

And I was there for you
When you were lonely
I was there when you were bad
I was there when you were sad
Now it's my time of need
I'm thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?

I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

Fits to me | Reviewer: Ricky | 11/2/10

I've loved this song for 6 years now and never tried to understand the message; now that I'm in the exactly same situation I understand everything and enjoy it even more!!!! Feel desperation, feel like loosing the best thing ever had, feel like wanting to do anything to get it back

fun? | Reviewer: johnny c | 9/9/09

if you listen to the lyrics the song is not "fun" or "gay".. its about desperation, loneliness and self doubt. the music may sound happy, but the lyrics are very sad, thats what makes this song cool.

not meh at all | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/6/08

It's not like Jesus told him "I am the lord, love thy neighbour," etc... That might be a bit crap.
Jesus told him 'go after every coin like it was the last in the world' Not your typical religious message. Think about it.
