Belle and Sebastian es un grupo escocés de pop formado en Glasgow en enero de 1996 bajo la tutela de un curso de negocio musical y formado apoyándose principalmente en el talento creativo de Stuart Murdoch. Su primer álbum, Tigermilk, fue grabado como parte de dicho curso y lanzado por el sello independiente Electric Honey.
Tras haber firmado con un sello ligeramente más grande --Jeepster Records-- lanzaron el álbum If You're Feeling Sinister en 1996 y una secuencia de sencillos a lo largo de 1997.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Verse: CG I wrote a letter on a nothing day CG I asked somebody Could you send my letter away CGCG You are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope
I said goodbye to someone that I love It's not just me I tell you it's the both of us And it was hard like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy
Someone above has seen me do alright Someone above is looking with a tender eye Upon her face you may think you're alone but you may think again
(Chorus) CG If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy CG They'd write it on my grave or when they scattered my ashes AmC On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and be there with my best friend (intro riff) If she wants me
And far away somebody read the letter He condescends to read the words I wrote about him And if he smiles it's no more than a genius deserves For all your curious nerve and your passion
I'm going deaf you're growing melancholy Things fall apart I don't know why we bother at all But life is good and It's always worth living at least for a while
(Chorus)
If you think to yourself What should I do now Then take the baton girl you better run with it There is no point in standing in the past cause it's over and done with
I took a book and went into the forest I climbed the hill I wanted to look down on you But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness so I went home
