best belle & sebastian song?

[D'wards]

I think they have some lovely lyrics, old B&S. All the haters can sod off and start a Belle and Sebastian are Shit thread and leave us to enjoy our twee wimpy scottish folk-pop without having to put up with all the snide

My brother had confessed that he was gay,
it took the heat off me for a while.
He stood up with a sailor friend,
made it known upon my sisters wedding day.

I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
now she’s in love.
I was so touched,
I was moved to kick the crutches from my crippled friend.

She was not impressed, that I cured her on the sabbath,
so I went to confess.
When she saw the funny side,
we introduced my child bride to whisky and gin.

chickfactor!....

Met the indie-cool queen
Took me out to the bar
And showed me the scene
My little girl i can't find
She's five hours behind
It's the singer not the song
"something's gone wrong"
Said the spider to the fly
Do i like this girl?
It's such a big world
I like the tone of her voice
I loved the sound of her voice
When i get back to london from outer space
Will it fall into place?
I'll hold onto my smile
Find my girl in a while
Look myself in the face
Dont know what you see


ive been listening to loads of b&s since this thread....

and i was just saying a few days ago id lost my passion for them....

pppffft have i fuck ....1 little listen was all it took ;-p

 

[tar1984]

yeah man, dont let the passion die.

and fuck the haters!

"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..."

You're not impressed by me
But it's a funny way for you to tell me
A whisper in a choir stall
The man was talking about you simultaneously
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
Because I have been sleeping badly lately
I know you were historical from all the books I've read
But I thought you could be bluffing
And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss
It's days and months before I'll see you again
