Belle & Sebastian: The Life Pursuit
The titans of twee finally find their inner strength
As far from snot and spittle as they might seem, Belle And Sebastian are products of punk. You can blame punk for a lot. Sure it stopped people making albums called ‘Tales From Topographic Oceans’ (ask modern progsters Mystery Jets) and it turned John Peel from bearded hippy to modern-day messiah but, thanks to its DIY ethos, it entrenched a ‘that’ll do’ aesthetic within British...

Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - Act Of The Apostle Part 1 Lyrics
Morning prayers took the girl unawares
She was late for class and she knew it
The broadcaster had a voice that was soothing
She couldn't tell if it was a man or woman
Belle and Sebastian - White Collar Boy Lyrics
You're a white collar boy and you gave into the law
Give in to the pressure, the cops gonna getcha
You were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little paw
Your wage won't stretch to picking up checks
Belle and Sebastian - We Are The Sleepyheads Lyrics
Tired like the beggar with the cold inside his bones
And looking for the pleasure that he knew was so far gone
So far gone
Belle and Sebastian - To Be Myself Completely Lyrics
Well, my heart has fallen down
Thought I'd talked myself around
But to be myself completely I've just got to let you down
Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue Lyrics
Well, look at the kid from school
He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
He's changing fashion, the way he dress
The tracksuits are old and the hoody's way too moody
Belle and Sebastian - Sukie In The Graveyard Lyrics
Sukie was the kid, she liked to hangout in the graveyard
She did brass rubbings, she learned, you never had to press hard
When she was finished hanging out she was all alone
She decided that she better check in at home
Belle and Sebastian - Song For Sunshine Lyrics
Honey sweet apples, they're rotting away
Millions of people never start in the race
There's stuff on our plates that has not been alive
Someone pays full price for my cheap flight life
Belle and Sebastian - Mornington Crescent Lyrics
Mornington crescent, I think of you
Rain in the southeast, men feeling blue
Men in their bowlers, kids with their spats
Ladies with chauffeurs, dogs wearing hats and jackets
Belle and Sebastian - Funny Little Frog Lyrics
Honey lovin' you is the greatest thing
I get to be myself and I get to sing
I get to play at being irresponsible
I come home late and I love your soul
Belle and Sebastian - For The Price Of A Cup Of Tea Lyrics
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
More Belle and Sebastian - For The Price Of A Cup Of Tea Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - Dress Up In You Lyrics
I'm the singer, I'm the singer in the band
You're the loser, I won't dismiss you out of hand
You've got a beautiful face
It will take you places
Belle and Sebastian - Act Of The Apostle Part 2 Lyrics
I'm bored out of my mind, too sick to even care
I'll take a little walk, nobody's going to know
I'm in senior year, it gives you a little free time
I'll just use it all at once
Belle and Sebastian - Another Sunny Day Lyrics
Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden
You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon
I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border
It broke the heart of men and flowers, and girls, and trees
