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

>From the EP '3... 6... 9... Seconds of Light' Transcribed by Mario at [email protected] Submitted by Thelonius
EB Sebastian you're in a mess F#m You had a dream, they called you king of all the hipsters, C#mB is it true or are you still the queen? EB Like getting blood out of a stone F#m The city left you lost and gone C#m B You came to dance, but there's no poignancy when they all leave you... Amaj7Emaj7 standing alone Amaj7Emaj7 standing alone Amaj7Emaj7 Amaj7CB
EB The wider issues of the day F#m just pass you by, you're gonna pay C#mB for looking at the floor when people talk to you. EB You wrote a book about yourself F#m The people left it on the shelf
You'll write another one C#mBAmaj7Emaj7
Now you've got a story that's worth talking about. Amaj7Emaj7 talking about Amaj7Emaj7 talking about Amaj7CB (trumpet solo): F#mC#mF#mC#mG#mEbmG#mEbm G#mF#mG#mF#mAmaj7 Emaj7Amaj7 Are you happy with yourself? Emaj7Amaj7 Are you talking to yourself? Emaj7Amaj7 Are you happy with yourself? Emaj7 Put the book back on the shelf EB I've seen the company you keep F#m You're on the sofa hidden deep C#mB While on the telly Sid James speaks you like God EB You're always looking for a sign F#m But boy you blow it every time C#m You hear a voice begin to speak BAmaj7Emaj7 You ignore it and go softly to sleep Amaj7Emaj7 softly to sleep Amaj7Emaj7 softly to sleep Amaj7Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7Amaj7 Are you happy with yourself? Emaj7Amaj7 Are you happy with yourself? Emaj7Amaj7 Are you happy with yourself?
