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

F# I'm glad to see you B I had a funny dream A#mG#m You were wearing funny shoes A#mG#m You were going to a dance A#mEbmA#mC#C#sus4C# You were dressed like a punk but you were too young to remember
F# Glad to see you B I'm outside the house A#mG#m I'm not thinking right today A#mG#m I've got no energy A#mEbm I'm glad that you were waiting with me A#mC# Tell me all about your day
EbmA#m Breaking off is misery EbmA#m I see a wilderness for you and me EbmA#m Punctuated by philosophy G#mBF# And a wondering how things could've been
F# I'm happy for you B You've made it hard for me A#mG#m I counted on your company A#mG#m You were staying with your friends tonight A#mEbm I'm feeling sorry for myself A#mC# I keep taking everything to be to be a sign
F# I'm happy for you B Now I know this hurt is poison A#mG#m Too sharp to be bled A#mG#m I'm sitting on my empty bed A#m On my empty bed EbmA#mC# At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding
EbmA#m I'd rather be in Tokyo EbmA#m Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh EbmA#m Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku G#mBF# There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

F#B Scary moment, lovin' every moment A#mG#m I was high from playing shows A#mG#m We lost a singer to her clothes A#mG#m My trouble raised its ugly head A#m I was revealed Ebm And I was home in bed A#mC# I was a kid again
F#B Jesus told me, go after every coin A#mG#m Like it was the last in the world A#mG#m And protect the wayward child A#m But I'm a little lost sheep Ebm I need my Bo peep A#mC# I know I need my Shepherd here tonight
EbmA#m Breaking off is misery EbmA#m I see a wilderness for you and me EbmA#m Punctuated by philosophy G#mBF# And a wondering how things could've been
F#G#A#C#F#
F# Id like to see you B But really I should stay away A#mG#m And let you settle down A#mG#m I've got no claims to your crown A#m I was the boss of you Ebm And I loved you You know I loved you A#mC# It's all over now
F#B I was there for you When you were lonely A#mG#m I was there when you were sad A#mG#m I was there when you were bad A#m Now it's my time of need EbmA#mC# Im thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?
EbmA#m I'd rather be in Tokyo EbmA#m Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh EbmA#m Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku G#mBF# There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
