Jonathan David (Peel Session) lyrics by Belle and Sebastian
Verse 1
I know you like her
Well, I like her too
I know she likes you
It’s not as if I’m being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There’s still room in my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You’re still king
Verse 2
Well, I’d thought about her
I dreamed she’d come, I’d make my escape
I thought she liked me, but somehow I was wrong
I know you don’t want it this way
But it’s okay (it’s okay)
Pre-Chorus
It’s not like we’ll be parted
It’s not like we’ll never know love
Chorus
And she’ll smile for you (shе’ll smile for you)
She’ll hold your hand (hold out your hand)
You’ll be in lovе, there’s no other way
And I will make it someday
Verse 1
Well, I know you like her
Well, I like her too
I know she likes you
It’s not as if I’m being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There’s still room in my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You’re still king
Bridge
Visions of love recollected
Have we ever been true?
I know that I have, it’s time for you to go
It’s all in the stones that you throw
I want you to know (to know)
Pre-Chorus
It’s not like we’ll be parted
It’s not like we’ll never know love
Chorus
And she’ll smile for you (she’ll smile for you)
She’ll hold your hand (hold out your hand)
You’ll be in love, there’s no other way
Outro
People say that we’ll never change
We’ll never change, but I have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be married and you’ll be gone
Married and you’ll be gone
