Belle And Sebastian

It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career

by Belle And Sebastian
Belle And Sebastian

Biography:

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

C G
He had a stroke at the age of 24
F Am
It could have been a brilliant career
C G F
Painting lines in a school that was too well known
C G F
Painting lines with a friend who had gone before
C
She challenged everyone to a fight
F/C C G
But the people all backed down
F/C C G
And they ran her out of town
F/C C G
Cause she drank and swore and spoke
F/C C G
Out of turn she was the village joke


C G
She had a stroke at the age of 24
F Am
It could have been a brilliant career
C G F
Getting clients to finance her strategies
C G F
Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday
C
She wears the clothes of an emperor
F/C C G
But her paintings are a sham
F/C C G
and they're going for a grand
F/C C G
When the dealers come to view
F/C C G
Do they ever see the real you?


C G
He had a stroke at the age of 24
F Am
It could have been a brilliant career
C G F
Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes
C G F
Pulling the wool, playing the fool, it's no wonder that
C
He is dribbling spit tonight
F/C C G
And the one he sent away
F/C C G
Was the only one who stayed
F/C C G
With a spoon and a decent book
F/C C G
You can tell by the way she looks
F/C C G
She is sorry and resignes
F/C C G
As he wets himself for the final time
