Belle and Sebastian is a band from Glasgow. Led by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Murdoch, the seven-piece band has an intimate, majestic sound that is equal parts folk-rock and '60s pop. Murdoch has a gift not only for whimsy and surrealism, but also for odd, unsettling lyrical detail which keeps the songs grounded in a tangible reality.
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Belle and Sebastian released their first two albums in 1996: Tigermilk, recorded over three days

MY WANDERING DAYS ARE OVER By Belle & Sebastian
>From the album 'Tiger Milk' Transcribed by Alan at [email protected] Submitted by Thelonius
D You know my wandering days are over
AF#m Does that mean that I'm getting boring?
G You tell me
I'm tired of listening to myself now D I'm tired of fixing things for Michael and the rest of them
You know my bip-bopping days are over I hung my boots up and then retired from the disco floor Now the centre of my so called being is The space between your bed and wardrobe with the louvre doors
I said "My celibate days are over" You put me straight on the finer points of my speech rehearsed In the mirror of my steamy bathroom Where the lino tells a sorry story in a monologue
DG Six months on, the winter's gone
DG The disenchanted pony
DG Left the town with the circus boy
CG The circus boy got lonely
It's summer, and it's sister song's Been written for the lonely The circus boy is feeling melancholy
