Belle & Sebastian - For the Price of a Cup of Tea Lyrics

Complimentary "For the Price of a Cup of Tea" Ringtone

For the price of a cup of tea 
You’d get a line of coke 
For the price of a night with me 
You’d be the village joke 
For the price of a pint of milk 
I’ll tell you all I know 
About the state of the world today 
Sit down, enjoy the show 

She had several hours to find a place to stay 
Try the coffee shop, but somewhere on the way 
She heard about a place, somewhere she could go 
Walked a couple of blocks to her destination 

For the price of a cup of tea 
You’d get a seven inches 
Soul black vinyl to stop your tears 
You can use my stereo 
You might be the village joke but 
Don’t listen to the gossip of the other folk 

She just wants to be accepted in this place 
There’s something in her face 
She will always seem exotic and aloof 
If you want to know the truth 
Her friend the stars dripping from the jewelled sky 
When she was passing by 
Would keep her calm 
There was people that she knew, at least she thought she did 
Be easy on the kid! 

She took her winter coat from her plastic wrapper 
Pushed back her fringe, see her birthmark 
She can finally be the person she wanted to be
