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!
CmBb I was choking on a cornflake GmAb You said “Have some toast instead” CmBb I was sleeping maybe three hours GmAb You said “You should get to bed” CmBb I was waiting at the church door GmAb For the minister to show CmBb I was looking at the new year GmAbGmFm You said “Walk before you crawl”
CmBb I was feeling like a loser GmAb You said “Hey, you’ve still got me” CmBb I was feeling pretty lonely GmAb You said “You wanted to be free” CmBb I was looking for a good time GmAb You said “Let the good times start” CmBb With a quiver of your eyelid GmAb You took on someone else’s part
Eb But what about me AbEb I don’t really see AbEb How things will improve Ab If all you want is to stay
CmBb Maybe I’m a little greedy GmAb You said “Think before you speak” CmBb Sometimes I’m a little seedy GmAb You said “Everyone is weak” CmBb Now I feel a little better GmAb Is there something I can do? CmBb But I never heard the answer GmAb I never had a clue
Eb But what about me AbEb I don’t really see AbEb How things will improve Ab If all you want is to stay Fm The lights are out Gm In the house tonight Ab And I creep around EbBb And I’m creeping to your head AbCm All you wanted to stay loose.
CmBb There’s a little echo calling GmAb Like a miner trapped inside CmBb If I tell her of this moment GmAb She will in me doubts confide CmBb And she’s on me like a blanket GmAb Like a stalk of wilting grass CmBb I’m not sure about her motives GmAbGmFm I’m not sure about her past
CmBb But my faith is like a bullet GmAb My belief is like a bolt CmBb The only thing that lets me sleep at night GmAb A little carriage of the soul CmBb If it starts a little bleaker GmAb Then the year may yet be gold CmBb Happiness is not for keeping GmAb Happiness is not my goal
Eb So what about me AbEb I don’t really see AbEb How things will improve AbEb If all you want is to stay loose
AbEb But what about them AbEb You play mother hen AbEb To a gaggle of gangling youth Ab If all you want is to stay Fm The lights are out Gm In the house tonight Ab And I creep around EbBb And I’m creeping to your head Ab All you wanted to stay
CmGm I was living through the second AbEb My composure was a mess FmCm I was miles from tenderness AbAbGmBb It was dark outside, the day it was lying in pieces
CmGm Everything is flat and dreary AbEb I couldn’t care what’s in the news FmCm Television is the blues AbAbGmBb Television is hysterical laughter of people
AbBb And I know it could be me CmBbAbGm I’m always asking for more, more, more, more
AbEb I keep running round in circles AbEb I keep looking for a doorway Ab I’m going to need two lives AbGmBb To follow the paths I’ve been taking
