BELLE And SEBASTIAN God Help The Girl Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

There is no way I'm looking for a boyfriend
There is no way I'm looking for a scene
I need to save some dough
I'm a working girl, you know
I'll fend attention off I keep to myself

I love my room, I'm getting used to sleeping
Some nights I really like to lie awake
I hear the midnight birds
The message in their words
The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch
Their promise never meant so much to me

You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
Teacher never cared for me
Preacher said a prayer for me
God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get

I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
I'll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge
I'll play his messages
Analyze his intonation
Please stop me there, I'm even boring myself

I think of him when I'm doing the dishes
I think of him while looking in the sink
This ain't no play on words
My love for him is absurd
If he gave me a sign I'd think about it for a week
I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down

You have been warned, I'm born to be contrary
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
Teacher never cared for me
Preacher said a prayer for me
God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Desperation Made A Fool Of Me Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

I'm sick, and I've felt this way for some time now
I'm so fed up with the daily grind
I'm trying to find relief
If you feel this way then clap your hands
Ever thought this was a backward land?
What is making people mean?
A bad scene

Now that I've got my motives straight and I am thinking clearly
I'll sneak up to your window with my senses open wide

I'm tired, on my shoulders weighing heavily
Is the full responsibility for your troubles and your charms
Your betrayal goes around with me
Like the sword in some old tragedy
It is sticking in my back
People laugh

Now that I've got my motives straight and I am thinking clearly
I'll sneak up to your window with my senses open wide

I never really thought it would be like this
I know it's kind of hard but I'm glad that it is
I'm glad

[Instrumental]

Now that I've got my motives straight and I am thinking clearly
I'll sneak up to your window with my senses open wide

I never really thought it would be like this
I know it's kind of hard but I'm glad that it is
I'm glad

BELLE And SEBASTIAN (I Believe In) Travellin' Light Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

Shimmering travellin' light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, Glistening, banishing the darkest night
Waiting for travellin' light

Though the sun has yet to appear
Inkling faint perception is near
Bloodied, battered in the dew
Leaves and trees are calling you
Waiting for travellin' light

Shimmering, travelling by
Magical waves just under the sky
It knows no time, it knows no bounds
Coming clear beneath the clouds
Destination here and now
I behold travellin' light

Shimmering, travelling by
Magical waves just under the sky
She knows no time, she knows no bounds
Waves of light are travelling
Cloak of night unravelling
I believe in travellin' light

Shimmering, travellin' light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, glistening, I'll see her tomorrow night
Waiting for my travellin' light

Shimmering travellin' light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, Glistening, banishing the darkest night
Waiting for travellin' light
Though the sun has yet to appear
Inkling faint perception is near
Bloodied, battered in the dew
Leaves and trees are calling you
Waiting for travellin' light

Shimmering, travelling by
Magical waves just under the sky
It knows no time, it knows no bounds
Coming clear beneath the clouds
Destination here and now
I behold travellin' light

Shimmering, travelling by
Magical waves just under the sky
She knows no time, she knows no bounds
Waves of light are travelling
Cloak of night unravelling
I believe in travellin' light

Shimmering, travellin' light, echoing love at first sight
Glimmering, glistening, I'll see her tomorrow night
Waiting for my travellin' light

BELLE And SEBASTIAN A Politician's Silence Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

The cherry tree is broken
The maple leaf is brown
The wind is in the north east
It�s blowing through the town
Morning is the mother
She pulls you out of bed
Noon is like the sister
No hiding from the threat

I want you for a lover
I want you in the dusk
Your thoughts are deep, unspoken
Buried in your past
The cherry tree is broken
The maple is a lie
The north east wind is building
The people go inside
I want to stay in this place
Where thoughts are warm and bright
I want to stay by your side
And listen to your words
The chaos is unbroken
All the news is grim
Feeds into the conscience
Chase away the dream

The cherry tree is broken
The maple has blown down
The water it is rising
The power has gone out
I want to find some respite
From ignorance and lies
I run from passing strangers
I run from evil eyes
I need to take some shelter
I look for you in storms
I know you have a foxhole
I know it�s dark and warm
I see you in the kitchen
I see you by the fire
Absorbing life�s great stories
Drinking from your eyes

Drinking wine in goblets
Knees tucked to the chin
Sitting in a straw chair
Hair like golden sun
Love you in the firelight
Love you in the dark
Think one day I�ll tell you
That accidents can spark
A trail of life�s destruction
A fissure of intent
A comfort blanket hanging
For every crisis spent.
Think one day I�ll tell you
I�ll catch you from behind
Cover eyes to trick you
Guessing will decide

The ash is like my brother
He took the lazy path
To summer and the good life
The last leaf in the park

A wise old head on shoulders
On boards of adamant
He watched us by the river
He watched us in the dusk
Ribbons fell from your hair
They came down from the war
The drunks fell out of houses
The food of love would flow
And just then for the one day
Beneath the tree of joy
We were equal in our beauty
To the sunset girls and boys
You�re too cool to rush in
Which lover could it be
A politician�s silence
Will be the death of me

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Piggy In The Middle

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Piggy In The Middle Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

I�m alone
I�m not with you
When I get in at night the many facets of the conversation
Roll around inside my head

Who�s going with who?
Who�s going with you?
You are the girl who for a twist plays ventriloquist
To other boys line up to be your pooch

But if I draw a circle and I walk around it
You�re the piggy in the middle
I love my little pig until it hurts

I want to dance
Give the boy a chance
I want to lose myself in 1986
The darkened cinematic days of love and trance

Your crisp white tee � shirt
Rock a bill eee � hurts
An army of affected youth
They�re cute in boots
I look at her the girl is looking back at me

And with a thought that cuts me
She will turn and curtsey to her rockabilly boyfriend
It�s too late the damage done

I will catch them on the stairs
I�m like a bad smell that stays
They will turn round and see me
They will kiss stroke and feel
Just for the benefit: the boy voyeur
His camera makes up for what he�s lost

You know I know you�re the Queen
But when there�s nothing to rule
Who is the fool?

Wait for spring
I want to sing
Sleep is a drag love is the drug flu is the bug
I got my bag it�s full of stuff I want to bring

There is a club
There is a girl
Give her the secret sign that I�ll be there
A little clue
Maybe she�ll pick it up
Maybe she�ll pass

But I go into the building and she�s over by the bar
And by the time they play New Order
She is over in the corner

And she�s telling me stuff
I think she feels pretty rough
She has to lean on her shoulder
She is drunk, I am sober
And I take her confession
It�s the coolest little session of the month
As I take her confession
I confess I got my hand under her blouse

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Two Birds

Welcome to hypnoteis.blogspot.com Lyrics sites

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Two Birds Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

Two birds sitting on a wire
Big one makes his move
He spreads his feathers, rubs his beak
Boy and girl are leaving school
He is shy, but she will follow him
She don�t know why

Life is short, and then you sleep

Pull down the wall
It�s only masking honesty
Pull down the wall
It�s breaking up the family
Pull down the wall
Hear the true call
Start the day with little things
They�ll blossom into prayers and little wings

Look at what is in your heart
How could it be wrong?
The little man is telling you
People gathering in the square
They�ve had enough
Their leaders they are killing them

Life is short, and then you sleep

Pull down the wall
It�s only masking honesty
Pull down the wall
It�s breaking up the family
Pull down the wall
Hear the true call
Start the day with little things
They�ll blossom into prayers and little wings

When all the banks began to fail
I thought that we would have a change
But they found all this cash
We didn�t have to patch it up again
They never think to spend the money
On the everlasting broke
Or the sick, what a waste

Two birds in the promised land
One is building walls to keep the other in its place
Imprisoned like the special son
He became the greatest, broke his chains and busted out

Life is short, and then you sleep

Pull down the wall
It�s only masking honesty
Pull down the wall
It�s breaking up the family
Pull down the wall
Hear the true call
Start the day with little things
They�ll blossom into prayers and little wings

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Born To Act

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Born To Act Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

There is a girl on the floor, she dances way out
She�s a snub nose beauty, she�s a no doubt
But if I talk to her, I even look hard
She�ll be out of this place and she�ll be out of my life

So we busted a move we got the hell out
We got stories to tell, we got our whole life
We drink coffee till late because we jet lagged
We put a fortune into the greatest
Music machine in the land

Play a wonderful song to me and it�s better than a date
Play the tune where the girl sings high
She�s my lover surrogate
And the waitress is rolling by, shining high
Smiling for a tip
Every boy dreams of it

So the girl dances in, she takes the next booth
I break the rule of my life, I make a big move
Cos my accent is funny, got a head start
If you wanna make good, you got to use what you got

We go with her friends and there�s a big crowd
There�s a girl who can�t stand up till she falls down
There�s a pressure that�s building and it�s too late
Cos eh leaves in the morning, there�s a flight
It�s a family affair

Play a wonderful song to me and it�s better than a date
Play the tune where the girl sings high
She�s my lover surrogate
And the waitresses rolling by, shining high
Smiling for a tip
Every boy dreams of it

So we met a month later, she had long hair
She was driving the bus I paid the full fare
It was easy to talk and she drove real fast
And she told me the story of her dirty old past

All the boys she had loved and all the bad sex
All the things she must learn and all her prospects
I was there for the ride and for the old soul
But we couldn�t go further, no we couldn�t go
But we couldn�t go further, no we couldn�t go
But we couldn�t go further cos the story was already told

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Today (This Army's For Peace) Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

Today
I want to slip back to the dream I had
When you had urged me to look out
Upon the window of my life

Today
The choices have all clashed upon my head
Is it wrong to leave your charges
And go charging round the bend?

Mansions, there are mansions in the sun
There's no hiding
Defying the night
Come out into the light
Today

Today
My thoughts were like a tent put up in heaven
Build a shelter for your mind
Invite a stranger to come in and share the wine

Mansions, there are mansions in the sun
There's no hiding
Defying the night
Come out into the light
Today

Today
They want to tear my body from my mind
The rust will show
I am an iron bridge that's giving into time

Today
The wind blows west the heather and the broom becalms
The spirit of a fighting man and lays him
Where his wild spirit belongs

Victims will be justified
The lame will be leaping
This army's for peace
Come out into the light
Today

Victims will be justified
The lame are believing
This army's for peace
Come out into the light
Today

BELLE And SEBASTIAN The Book Of You

Welcome to hypnoteis.blogspot.com Lyrics sites

BELLE And SEBASTIAN The Book Of You Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

Everybody�s making plans
For tomorrow
Stone can turn to sand
But I just
I want to take you back in time
I�ll draw the line
I would write a different story
A new final act
I don�t need the drama
But I would never write you out

Everyone�s a thread
We�re woven together
Read it in the tears and fraying edges
Read the book of you
The book of me
We�re fading into memory
But something is left
A gesture, a phrase or a photograph
The warp and weft

We�re always walking in the rain
And you�re just trouble, so I claim
Pretend the world can see
That I�m the one for you
And you�re the one for me

Valentine, if you could change
With the weather
Faith would just evaporate
Untethered
In a fresh disguise
I catch your eye
See behind the mask
And find you never went far
That�s not the last time
I�ve thought about the way we are

We�re always walking in the rain
And you�re just trouble, so I claim
But then the world can see
That I�m the one for you
And you�re the one for me

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Play For Today

Welcome to hypnoteis.blogspot.com Lyrics sites

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Play For Today Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

I'm in a play written today about a boy
Who hides in attics when the sun is up
Everyone is at work

What will I do? Where will I go?
Show me the way, the truth, the anger
Show me rules of thumb
Show the way to grow old

Love is a guide
The endless river of the soul
But we are mean
The dried up riverbeds of rock and stone
Lust is my friend
She comes to me when I am tired

Life is a road, death is a myth
Love is a fraud, it's misunderstood
Work is a sentence, family's a drag
This house is a trap

I'm in a play written today about a girl
She gets on perfectly with young and old
Everybody loves her

What will she wear? The cut of her hair
The way that she slides
Gracefully into the working week
She hides her baggage inside

She's got a friend
An ugly monster that will eat your face
She hides a crime
A hefty catalog of wasted time
She's got a friend
A lonely monster that will prey on you

Life is a secret, death is a myth
Love is a fraud, it's misunderstood
Work is a sentence, family's a drag
This house is a trap

Life is a secret, death is a myth
Love is a fraud, it's misunderstood
Work is a sentence, family's a drag
This house is a trap

I'm in a play written today about a boy
Tired and melancholy takes the weight
Takes the weight of the world

I walked alone, loving the sun
Walking the earth
A worn out sister who was twenty three
Dried and wrinkled, alone

I'll give you a month
To see past shadows in your sacred mind
Give you a week
To look Medusa in the eye
I'll give you a month
To notice heaven at the side of stage

(Author, author! Author, author!)

You're king inside your head
You're sitting on a throne of sand
You're pushing back the tide
So lift the mountain up
So tie the writer's ribbons down
Assemble all your troops
We go to war with metaphors
You'll suddenly see sense (and suddenly see sense)
And when you do, I'll have the higher grounds (I'll have the higher grounds)
You're not the king of me
I'll take my chance and play for tyranny
I build the sets, I light the scene
We're braver when we're on the sacred screen
I build the sets, I light the scene
We're braver when we're on the sacred screen
The backstage of your life
Is filled with props and lines you should have sung
The backstage of your life
Is filled with echoes of the ones you loved

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Ever Had A Little Faith?

Welcome to hypnoteis.blogspot.com Lyrics sites

BELLE And SEBASTIAN Ever Had A Little Faith? Lyrics, singer by BELLE And SEBASTIAN

---

With your headphones on
Through the drizzled pane
Of a wet slate roof
Sun will turn to rain
Why are you the one?
Couldn't take the pain
Something good will happen, wait and see
Something good will happen, wait and see

Do you spend your day?
Second guessing faith
Looking for a way
To live so divine
Drop your sad pretence
You'll be doing fine
You will flourish like a rose in June
You will flourish like a rose in June
Ever had a little faith?
Ever had a little faith?

Morning came
The hope rose up in your heart, girl
You felt ashamed
When morning came

Roll away the stone of doubt, girl
If you're calm, then listen out for
A quiet voice, the sign from the window
Passion beating on your brow
You wish it were, you wish it was now

Past the sound of driving traffic
Past the madman's drunken attic
You climb the stair
It's dark and it's draughty
Smell of incense drawing you
Sky of light imploring you to

Then she ran from street to street
Looked up and down she must have missed him
If she could only find him she would
Throw her arms around and kiss him tenderly
She would give herself on bended knee
Never thinking if it's wrong or right
Courage sister, there's a little light
Ever had a little faith?
Ever had a little faith?

Who can you trust?
Trust the little man
Whispers in the trees
And the river can
Speak the calming verse
From the age of brave
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing

Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing

Ever had a little faith?
Ever had a little faith?
