Belle & Sebastian Biography

Belle and Sebastian are an indie pop band formed in Glasgow in January 1996. Belle and Sebastian are often compared with influential indie bands such as The Smiths, as well as classic acts such as Love, Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. The name Belle & Sebastian comes from Belle et Sebastien, a 1965 children's book by French writer Cecile Aubry, later adapted for television and an anime. Though consistently lauded by critics, Belle & Sebastian's "wistful pop" has enjoyed only limited commercial success.

After releasing a number of albums and EPs on Jeepster Records, they are now signed to Rough Trade Records in the United Kingdom and Matador Records in the United States.

Belle & Sebastian Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap Lyrics

A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
The odor of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by
Day upon day of this wandering gets you down
Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town

More Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - If She Wants Me Lyrics

I wrote a letter on a nothing day
I asked someone, “Could you send my letter away?”
You are too young to put all of your hopes
In just one envelope

More Belle & Sebastian - If She Wants Me Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - Piazza, New York Catcher Lyrics

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?

More Belle & Sebastian - Piazza, New York Catcher Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - Get Me Away from Here I'm Dying Lyrics

Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me

More Belle & Sebastian - Get Me Away from Here I'm Dying Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - I Want the World to Stop Lyrics

I want the world to stop
(I want the world to stop)
Give me the morning
(Give me the understanding)

More Belle & Sebastian - I Want the World to Stop Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - I Didn't See It Coming Lyrics

Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms I remember
We've been going transcontinental
Got no car, we just take a rental

More Belle & Sebastian - I Didn't See It Coming Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - There's Too Much Love Lyrics

I could hang about and burn my fingers
I've been hanging out here waiting for something to start
You think I'm faultless to a 'T'
My manner set impeccably

More Belle & Sebastian - There's Too Much Love Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John Lyrics

What a waste, I could've been your lover
What a waste, I could've been your friend
Perfect love is like a blossom that fades so quick
When it's blowing up a storm in May

More Belle & Sebastian - Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - Step Into My Office, Baby Lyrics

She called me up today
Meet me down at the old cafe
I jumped into the shower
I was getting my marching orders

More Belle & Sebastian - Step Into My Office, Baby Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - Dirty Dream Number Two Lyrics

I'm lucky, I can open the door and I can walk down the street
Unlucky, I've got no place to go and so I follow my feet
A choice is facing you, a healthy dose of pain
A choice is facing you as you stare through the rain

More Belle & Sebastian - Dirty Dream Number Two Lyrics
