Estava formado o Belle & Sebastian (nome de dois personagens de uma série de livros infantis franceses): Murdoch

C#BF#BC#B I was surprised, i was happy for a day in 1975
A#mG#mF#BC#B i was puzzled by a dream, it stayed with me all day in 1995
A#mG#mF# my brother had confessed that he was gay

A#mG#m he stood up with a sailor friend
F#BC#B and made it known upon my sisters wedding day
Etc.
