Belle and Sebastian - The BBC Sessions Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - Seymour Stein Lyrics
Seymour Stein, I've been lonely
Caught a glimpse of someone's face
It were mine and I'd been crying
Belle and Sebastian - Lazy Jane Lyrics
You work in the village shop
Putting a poster up
Dreaming of anything, dreaming of the time
When you are free from all the trouble you're in
Belle and Sebastian - Wrong Love Lyrics
I went looking for my darling
I went looking for a sign
And I found her in the morning
Somewhere in the back of my mind
Belle and Sebastian - The Magic Of A Kind Word Lyrics
When I think of all the sorrow
It is hard to take a breath
People fighting one another
And I feel there's nothing left
Belle and Sebastian - (My Girl's Got) MIraculous Lyrics
(My girl's got) miraculous techniques.
Oh no, the snow's stopped snowing.
Maybe we'll get somebowling and drinking when lookintg at the sky.
Pretend that you despise it, why does your lazy eye rest on his skin,
More Belle and Sebastian - (My Girl's Got) MIraculous Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - Shoot The Sexual Athlete Lyrics
Now I'm in a band, people try to make me do things
Kiss arses and pay tribute
But I'm inclined today to do those things anyway
And I don't care who hears it
Belle and Sebastian - Nothing In The Silence Lyrics
Something set me thinking when I opened up my eyes
That there was nothing there to tell me, I'd been listening to lies
But in silence there is truth, there is beauty, there is love
There is nothing in the silence to be frightened of
Belle and Sebastian - There Magic Of A Kind Word Lyrics
When I think of all the sorrow
It is hard to take a breath
People fighting one another
And I feel there's nothing left
More Belle and Sebastian - There Magic Of A Kind Word Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - I'm Waiting For The Man Lyrics
I'm waiting for my man
Got twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
Belle and Sebastian - Boys Are Back In Town Lyrics
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man I still think them cats are crazy
Belle and Sebastian - Legal Man Lyrics
L O V E, love, it's coming back, it's coming back
L O V E, love, it's coming back, it's coming back
Refer to our discussions, confirm the terms of our love affair
Belle and Sebastian - Here Comes The Sun Lyrics
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Belle and 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
Belle and Sebastian - Sleep The Clock Around Lyrics
And the moment will come when composure returns
Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall
And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air
Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
Belle and 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 and Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - I Could Be Dreaming Lyrics
I could be sleeping, I could be dreaming
I could have ordinary people
Chasing me from town to town, mission impossible
They've got a spy for every blink of your eye
Belle and Sebastian - Judy & The Dream of Horses Lyrics
Judy wrote the saddest song
She showed it to a boy in school today
Judy, where did you go wrong?
You used to make me smile when I was down
More Belle and Sebastian - Judy & The Dream of Horses Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - Like Dylan in The Movies Lyrics
Lisa's kissing men like a long walk home
When the music stops
Take a tip from me, don't go through the park
When you're on your own, it's a long walk home
Belle and Sebastian - Me & The Major Lyrics
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
Belle and Sebastian - Slow Graffiti Lyrics
There's a portrait in a back room
Which I keep for days upon, which I relent
And gaze for hours on the muscle skin and bone
Of some imaginary friend
Belle and Sebastian - The Model Lyrics
I will confess to you
Because you made me think about the times
You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over
The picture was a masterpiece of comic timing
Belle and Sebastian - The Stars of Track & Field Lyrics
Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs
Kissing girls in english, at the back of the stairs
You're a honey, with a following of innocent boys
They never know it
More Belle and Sebastian - The Stars of Track & Field Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - The State I Am In Lyrics
I don't care whether you hear this
I don't care if I'm alone here singing songs to myself
There's nobody else around, around
Meet you up at the Indian part of the town
Belle and Sebastian - The Wrong Girl Lyrics
I went looking for my darling
I went looking for a sign
And I found her in the morning
Somewhere in the back of my mind
Belle and Sebastian - Wandering Alone Lyrics
Wandering alone on the ridge of a coast
Lost to the world he had known as a boy
He knows his lover lies south in the city
