belle & sebastian - a century of elvis
We were sitting in the living room on the sofa,
the wrong way round, looking out the window.
It was quiet, and then in the car park across the road
we saw Elvis - look, there beside the postman's van,
and he was walking round the postman's van,
looking in the open door.
He looked as if he was thinking about getting in,
but then the postman came back,
and he swaggered off,
walked past the window and down the stairs,
and then at the bottom of the stairs right
by the caretaker's office,
he started licking the pavement.
Every night now since we moved in that new house
there's this noise outside the door at just about half seven
or eight o' clock every night.
And if we go and look outside the door,
Elvis'll be standing there waiting to be let in.
And then he wanders into the living room,
maybe sits down on one of the chairs
or even lies down on the floor.
He doesn't say much,
he just stays there for an hour or two, watching the TV.
We talk to him a bit,
and then around ten o' clock, he'll go away again,
and not come back until the next night.
There's a lot of lanes and stuff around here,
around the house - although it's right in the middle
of the city it seems quite like the country,
it's dead hidden - safe I suppose, made for night living.
There's a lot of squirrels and birds,
and Stuart says he's seen about nine foxes
there when he's jumped over the fence on
his way to Prior's Road.
Sometimes you can go out walking,
and when you've been out for a wee while even you don't know
where you are anymore,
so it would be pretty hard for anyone else to find you.
I suppose that's why he spends so much time there,
that's why he's come to live there, or maybe it's
just the squirrels.
I read about somewhere that he likes squirrels quite a lot.
There's these two videos that we got for wedding presents -
called the e-files, e-files one and e-files two about how Elvis is
supposed to be still alive.
And one time when he came round we were watching one of
those, but he didn't say anything he just sat on the armchair.
He was playing with his collar a bit, and we watched
it right through and then when it finished he just
got up and walked off into the mist and didn't say anything.
the first few times he came round I didn't speak to him at all,
I wasn't really sure what to say.
And Karen spoke to him quite a lot -
she seemed to know what to do more than I do.
He had quite a strange manner though,
he'd go into your stuff and look through it, then he'd maybe
pick something up and play with it for a wee while,
but he'd never make any comment about any of it.
Seemed pretty rude to me. I just watched whatever Karen did,
and listened to how she talked to him and then,
after a while I started to copy that, and tell him a few things,
not really bothered about whether he
responded or said anything back or not. I think the first time
I spoke to him we were sitting up on the mezzanine and
I said that I would tell him about me and wee Karen,
and how it was that we'd come to be living there.
I thought he probably liked the fact that we were
living there because he came round so much, so
I thought he might want to know how it was that it came about.
We did it all over backwards, I told him.
First of all we got to know each other,
and then a while after that we met,
and when we'd known each other for
about seven years we decided to have an anniversary,
and that went quite well,
so after the anniversary we had a honeymoon,
and that went well too,
so after that we decided that we would get married.
That's why we're living there now.
I used to think my dad was
Elvis, but I haven't told him that yet. I haven't told my dad either...
belle & sebastian - a century of fakers
There are people going hungry every day
Theyâ??ve got nothing on their plates
And youâ??re filling your fat face with every different kind of cake
And if you ever go lardy, or go lame
I will drop you straight away
Thatâ??s the price you have to pay
For every stupid thing you say
There are people going lonely, and theyâ??ll stay
Lonely fay into the year
Because youâ??re making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably youâ??ll say
All is equal in love and war and
Iâ??m sorry, but Iâ??ve got some things to do
And you pretend to read a book youâ??ll never finish till the day
That the author dedicates it
To a century of fakers
They took your mould and they burned it on the fire in history today
Yeah, the author dedicates it
To a century of fakers
He was an anarchist, he tried his best but it wasnâ??t good enough
Did I say I would see you soon?
Well Iâ??m sorry, but I just came off my bike
And my face is scarred
And chance has barred me seeing you tonight
I was over the other side of the city
And if the truth be known Iâ??d say
That you look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today
Everybodyâ??s trying to make us
Another century of fakers
They took you mould and burned it on the fire of history today
Everybodyâ??s trying to make us
Another cool decade of fakers
Another century of fakers
belle & sebastian - a space boy dream
I dreamt I had to go to mars.
Iâ??m always kidding on about going to mars for the day
But faced with the reality of it, in a dream, I was terrified.
And it wasnâ??t going to be like a moon trip
There was three of us going, but we couldnâ??t all go on the same ship
We had to go one at a time with a day between us.
I had to go first, and it was the thought of passing through all that black space
All the darkness with nothing in it, and then being the first one to land there, all alone... I knew it was supposed to be all dark around, with just a red surface
But what if I got there and it was light, all civilised and populated and stuff?
So I made a plan.
The other astronauts were going to be my dad and my sister
And my dad would come first after me
So I decided when I landed I would just stay in my seat until he got there
And then we could get out together and have a look around
And see what sort of things were there.
And when I woke up and I was lying in the darkness, I thought I had landed.
And I just lay still for a while, waiting for my dad to get there too.
belle & sebastian - a summer wasting
Summer in winter
Winter in springtime
You heard the birds sing
Everything will be fine
I spent the summer wasting
The time was passed so easily
But if the summer?s wasted
How come that I could feel so free
I spent the summer wasting
The sky was blue beyond compare
A photograph of myself
Is all I have to show for
Seven weeks of river walkways
Seven weeks of staying up all night
I spent the summer wasting
The time was passed so pleasantly
Say cheerio to books now
The only things I?ll read are faces
I spent the summer wasting
Under a canopy of
Seven weeks of river walkways
Seven weeks of reading papers
Seven weeks of feeling guilty
Seven weeks of staying up all night
Summer in winter
Winter is springtime
You heard the bird say
Everything will be fine
belle & sebastian - act of the apostle ii
Iâ??m going to a seminar!
Iâ??m a genius
A prodigy
A demon at Maths and Science
Iâ??m up for a prize
If you gotta grow up sometime
Youâ??ve to do it on your own
I donâ??t think I could stand to be stuck
Thatâ??s the way that things were going
The bibleâ??s my tool
Thereâ??s no mention of school!
My Damascan Roadâ??s my transistor radio
I tune in at night when my mum and my dad start to fight
I put on my headphones
And I tune out
I am devout
The girls are singing about my life
But theyâ??re not here, theyâ??ve got the wild life
If you want to find out, find out
You got to look them in the eye
Thatâ??s why my only choice
Is find the face behind the voiceâ?¦.
She asked the man if the service was open
â??Not today, just the choir from the radioâ?
â??Couldnâ??t I sit in? Iâ??ve come all this wayâ?
â??Will you bugger off, Iâ??ve got work to do.â?
The city was losing its appeal
God was asleep
He was back in her village, in the fields
â??Oh, if I could make sense of it all!
I wish that I could sing
Iâ??d stay in a melody
I would float along in my everlasting song
What would I do to believe?â?
belle & sebastian - act of the apostle part 1
belle & sebastian - another sunny day
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
Another rainy day, we're trapped inside with a train set
Chocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we met
You've got the attic window looking out on the cathedral
And on a Sunday evening bells ring out in the dusk
Another day in June, we'll pick eleven for football
We're playing for our lives the referee gives us fuck all
I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines
Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds
Everybody's gone you picked me up for a long drive
We take the tourist route the nights are light until midnight
We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula
We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill
That crazy avenue of trees, I'm living there still
There's something in my eye a little midge so
beguiling
Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye
I heard the Eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dear
You missed my eye, I wonder why, I didn't complain
You missed my eye, I wonder why, please do it again
The lovin is a mess what happened to all of the
feeling
I thought it was for real; babies, rings and fools
kneeling
And words of pledging trust and lifetimes
stretching forever
So what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apart
Ghost figures of past, present, future haunting
the heart
belle & sebastian - asleep on a sunbeam
When the half light makes for a clearer view
Sleep a little more if you want to
But restlessness has siezed me now, itâ??s true
I could watch the dreams flicker in your eyes
Lying here asleep on a sunbeam
I wonder if you realise you fascinate me so
Think about a new destination
If you think you need inspiration
Roll out the map and mark it with a pin
I will follow every direction
Just lace up your shoes while Iâ??m fetching a sleeping bag, a tent...
Another summerâ??s passing by
All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet
A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands
My joy will be complete
I thought about a new destination
Iâ??m never short of new inspiration
Roll out the map and mark it with a gin
Made my plans to conquer the country
Iâ??m waiting for you to get out of your situation
With your job and with your life
All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet
A walk on sand
A fire, I can warm my hands
My joy will be complete.
belle & sebastian - beautiful
She lay in bed all night watching the colours change
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change into green and gold
The doctor told her years ago that she was ill
The doctor told her years ago to take a pill
The doctor told her years ago that sheâ??d go blind if she wasnâ??t careful
They let lisa go blind
The world was at her feet and she was looking down
They let lisa go blind
But everyone she knew thought she was beautiful
Only slightly mental
Beautiful, a bit temperamental
Beautiful, only slightly mental
Beautiful
She thought it would be fun to try photography
She thought it would be fun to try pornography
She thought it would be fun to try most anything
She was tired of sleeping
They let lisa go blind, let lisa go blind, let lisa go blind
They let lisa go blind
Sheâ??s looking like a queen
But if you knew whatâ??s going on in her life
Thereâ??d be a thousand barren mothers there to talk to her
If you knew whatâ??s going on in her life
Thereâ??d be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit with her
And to talk to her
If you knew whatâ??s going on in her life
Whatâ??s going on in her life
Whatâ??s going on in her life
There would be a documentary on radio 4
She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
She thought it was the answer to the fashion blues
She mad herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
But she walked with a limp
belle & sebastian - belle & sebastian
I left the school I left my job
You saw me looking like a slob
When I was young you were the only fun in town
Everyone thought it was a shame
For Belle and the boy Sebastian
Belle was ok but oh Sebastian
Went too far again
Crashed his car in the rain
He wants to love and he wants to care
But when the boys are queuing up to tell her she's a star
Poor Sebastian is heading for a fall
Everyone thought it was a shame
For Belle and the boy Sebastian
Everyone thought it was a shame
Belle was ok but oh Sebastian
Went too far again
Crashed his car in the rain
Oh Sebastian wrote his diary that
He would never be young again
But you will
Fellow, you are ill
You'd better take a weight off of your mind and listen
To what other people say
Cause things are going wrong your own way
belle & sebastian - belle and sebastian
I left the school I left my job
You saw me looking like a slob

For Belle and the boy Sebastian
Belle was ok but oh Sebastian
Went too far again
Crashed his car in the rain
He wants to love and he wants to care
But when the boys are queuing up to tell her she's a star
Poor Sebastian is heading for a fall
Everyone thought it was a shame
For Belle and the boy Sebastian
Everyone thought it was a shame
Belle was ok but oh Sebastian
Went too far again
Crashed his car in the rain
Oh Sebastian wrote his diary that
He would never be young again
But you will
Fellow, you are ill
You'd better take a weight off of your mind and listen

Cause things are going wrong your own way
belle & sebastian - beyond the sunrise
Joseph was travelling with a heavy load
His dreams were broken and deep sorrow flowed from his brow
Closer to sundown he prepared to rest
Set down the burden,
Lay upon his chest
Then she came
Sir, come to me and I will keep you warm
Taste hope in my skin and faith with the dawn
You will rise
Beyond the sunrise that is where we live
Feeding our counsel and true comfort give
Travelling men
Joseph was sure the liquor had caused this dream
His eyes were sure that heaven was not her scene
She was no saint
Sir, come to me and I will keep you warm
Taste hope in my skin and faith with the dawn you will rise
belle & sebastian - big john shaft
I'll make another movie
The same one as the year before
Take a tired idea
Put in the hands of Hollywood
I need to talk to someone
I've been living someone else's life
I don't get no mail at my house anymore
My manager's my bride
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I'll see my baby soon enough
I wont take her to the movie
I'm worried that the lines become all blurred
I couldn't help but feeling something
When the boss told us to act that way
I'm ashamed of my profession
I would do the same again
I'll make another movie
Same one as the year before
I'm looking for a story
Something ludicrous to rise up from the street
I wont play another heavyweight
I wont play another big john shaft
Put me in the frock and leave me to recite
Maybe my career will die
belle & sebastian - black and white unite
In the summer all the hikers hike out for the highest peaks
All the children watch the cricket and they never wash fro weeks
In the suburbs young protestors write 'Black And White United"
They're tearing up the streets
I'm half in love with every girl I meet
The gasman loves the street
He loves to drill
He loves to think about his girl
The sun is melting half the street
In the summer all the workers head out for the sandy beach
Stay together in all weather
Communities of prejudices travel on the train
The upper class will have to pass the chance up of a knees-up with the gang
Your record profits will buy you an island
There's a jigsaw with a picture, all the country as a map
Hikers hiking, cycler's cycling, if I go I'm not coming back
I'm all in love with all the girls I meet, the hardcore summer kind
Kitchen porters, budding painters, whiskey touring guides
In the rain all your plans will fade
You'll be left with the jigsaw
belle & sebastian - chickfactor
What was it I saw in new york?
Iâ??m not the same anymore
How will I hide these feelings inside
Call my girl on the phone
Neon lights shine bright
Taxi cabs glide by
Aeroplanes they fly, high up in the sky
Pretty girl says hi...
Whatâ??s the worst job youâ??ve had?
What do you read?
Whatâ??s driving you mad?
Met the cigarette girl- took a note of her charms
But no cigar
Met the indie-cool queen
Took me out of the bar
And showed me the scene
My little girl I canâ??t find
Sheâ??s five hours behind
Itâ??s the singer not the song
Somethingâ??s gone wrong
Said the spider to the fly
Do I like this girl?
Itâ??s such a big world
1 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?
Iâ??ll hold onto my smile
Find my girl in a while
Look myself in the face
Donâ??t know what you see
Am I playing in your movie?
Youâ??re in my magazine
Are you talking to me?
