Me and the Major Belle and Sebastian

[Verse 1]
Me and the Major could become close friends 'cause we
Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me
Me and the Major could become close friends 'cause we
Get on the same train and he wants to talk
But there is too much history, too much biography between us

[Verse 2]
Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a
Number of things, he'll take a guy like me, oh yeah
Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a
Number of things, he'll take a guy like me
And put him in the army 'cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you

[Chorus 1]
He doesn't understand and he doesn't try
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast
All the others did drugs, they're taking it out on us
They're taking it out on us
They're taking it out on us

[Verse 3]
Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if
I get stuck in the lift, it's always with a toff
Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if
I get stuck in the lift, it's always with a man
Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born
