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

Intro: D DA There are people going hungry every day GD They've got nothing on their plates GDAA And you're filling your fat face with every different kind of cake DA And if you ever go lardy, or go lame GD I will drop you straight away GD That's the price you have to pay AA For every stupid thing you say
DA There are people going lonely, and they'll stay GD Lonely fay into the year GD Because you're making blinkers fashionable AA And fashionably you'll say D "All is equal in love and war" and AGD "I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do" GDAA And you pretend to read a book you'll never finish till the day
Bm That the author dedicates it G To A Century Of Fakers DA They took your mould and they burned it on the fire in history today Bm Yeah, the author dedicates it G To A Century Of Fakers DA He was an anarchist, he tried his best but it wasn't good enough

(verse 2 the same as verse 1) Did I say I would see you soon? Well I'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 I'd say That you look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today
Bm Everybody's trying to make us G Another century of fakers DA They took you mould and burned it on the fire of history today Bm Everybody's trying to make us GDG Another cool decade of fakers D Everybody's trying to make us G Another century of fakers
