Belle & Sebastian teve início em Janeiro de 1996, na cidade de Glasgow, Escócia, quando Stuart Murdoch e Stuart David se encontraram assim, meio sem querer, e começaram a tirar um som juntos. Murdoch escrevia canções sem qualquer pretensão. Porém, precisaria de um trabalho para finalizar o curso na faculdade. Recrutaram uns amigos num café 24 horas, um por um. Estava formado o Belle & Sebastian (nome de dois personagens de uma série de livros infantis franceses): Murdoch

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
