there is nothing that could sway my opinion that this is, simply, the best song ever recorded
Declan Cochran It's just a modern rock song mate
i'm just a boy with my corduroys, i'm not terrific but i'm competent
Maybe fella
dude, wrong! best dong ever is taylor swifts, shake it off
I'd rather have my ears bleed to this any day of my life
I am in the very lucky position of only discovering Belle & Sebastian, so I have a lot to listen to and a lot to learn, imagine my enjoyment of never having heard this band until 2019, what fucking joys I have ahead of me. Happy days
If you're feeling sinister is a joyous album... I hope you enjoy the journey
I discovered B&S in 2016 and now own every album and collection they've released haha. And I'm still enjoying them daily. They just have it all for me and I keep rotating which albums I listen to.
I knew a girl in the 90’s who lived round the corner from them in Glasgow when a bunch of them shared a house. There was a dog called Elvis. Her name was Astra. Good times. I’m 42 now and still a bit of 90’s clapping guitar boy.
My goodness you are lucky. .can I just suggest you go back before you forward. .no disrespect intented 😎
@@eccremocarpusscaber5159 I remember a girl called Astra in Hyndland although she would be older than 42 now.
Belle and Sebastian were *my* band. I love music of all kinds but B&S really were the epitome of my Uni days, no one could reach me like they could. I listen to this song and it fills me with such emotion. I love it, but also feel sad for lost youth.
They're still playing these songs in their 40s and 50s. The fountain of youth is always there if we dig deep.
This was the very first B&S song I ever heard, and it made me fall in love with them.
Probably because they do not fit in any recognized musical style whatsoever, but every song just makes you want to hear MORE.
I kind of like that originality .....
I mean: they are sort of like folkpop, somewhat Indie, influenced by singer/songwiter, a bit LoFi, but in the end they can only be described as ..... Belle & Sebastian!
Belle & sebastian is pure fantasy. One of the best cultural inputs I have had the pleasure to come across
The nostalgy this song evoques me is simply beautiful: the best of my uni years, absolutly fallen in love of the girl of my dreams, suffering for the exams, drinking with my friends, playing the fool on the street. Sounds far away but pandemic hit and has been three years since the first time I heard and I fell in love of this song... life changes fastly and the beautiful times slip away without knowing, but things like this song... this is what is left.
Belle and Sebastian came around when I wasn't sure if I was going to find another band that I could just fall completely head over heels for. Bless you B&S.
Ah the late 90s. The era just before mobile phones became widespread. Such innocent times.
this is so good - can't believe i just heard this now - the thrush line kills me
But there are lotions and potions, didn't you read it in that book from Boots? :)
Brilliant isn't it. They are my favorite band for a reason. Cheers.
Truly one of the greatest modern rock songs ever written and recorded.
It's nice to see Sarah Martin playing the bass on this one. She's so cute.
Dull day in my workshop , Then radio 6 played this track,,,,,Now its no so dull and i love it..,
The last 90 seconds is the best pop/rock stuff recorded in the 90s.
Lyrics 🌻
You're working the village shop
Putting a poster up
Dreaming of anything
Dreaming of the time
When you are free
From all the trouble you're in
In the mud, on your knees
Trying hard not to please
Anyone all the time
Being a rebel's fine
But you go all the way
To being brutal
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town
So let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging styles for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper
Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
[While] You are working for the joy of giving
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the last bus out of town
On the last bus out of town
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a girl tonight
And you hope that they will see
In the hope that they will see
You are in two minds
Tossing a coin
To decide whether you should tell your folks
About a dose of thrush
You got when licking railings
But you read in a book
That you got free in boots
There are lotions
There are potions
You can take
To hide your shame
From all those prying eyes
Lazy Jane all the time painting lines
You are sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're gonna do about it
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the last bus out of town
On the last bus out of town
You will have a boy tonight
Maybe you will have a girl tonight
On the last bus out of town
On the last bus out of town
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that they will see
And you hope that they will see
You will have a boy tonight
Maybe you will have a girl tonight
And you hope that they will see
Yeah you hope that they will see
This is my all time favourite song
so far
an amazing artifact, means a whole world to me circa 1998
All Belle and Sebastian songs make me visualise the west end of glasgow
Still one of my top favourite Belle and Sebastian tracks. Gives me goosebumps on every play. Love it.
I cant stop listening to this wonderful song !!! 😊. I was in my early teens when this came out, its a perfect representation of that early 90's era. Amazing.
That tune is like a really good shower... always feel cleaner thereafter. Cheers, Selecta! Thanks for that.
lovely. i'm a big fan of them and 90's britpop. love from south korea
I don't use the phrase best song ever often but I think that this song is the best song ever.
One of the best bands ever in my eyes.
i remember listening to belle for the first time "is it wicked not to care " and thinking ...this is just brilliant !
I love this song with every inch of my body.
Wow this is... Just amazing
Some bands you get instantly, B+S were one of mine. Fabulous at every listen.
This has been the best gift I’ve ever received. (Musically speaking) Gratie Valeria. You are and have Always been the best!
Thank you for the best song ever!
This is my third favorite song I like to whistle while snorkeling. Fact
So much atmosphere and energy, turn it up!!!
Timeless. Endlessly timeless, is this song.
I have to say I am speechless! I never knew Belle and Sabastian were capable of this!
My absolute favourite belle and Sebastian song !
This could not possibly get any greater! 👍😭
Great song and video
The fabulous Monica Queen!
I thought this had disappeared off youtubes listings !
So love this song, one of Belle and Sebs best efforts and the late key change sums up why they are up there with the great indie acts of this century.
stellaviolens hear hear
I agree with everything except there’s no key change
Well Jed whatever happens in the last 20 seconds it certainly works for me as it puts the brakes on after whats been some melodic ride by Belle and Sebastian.
One of the best songs .I remember. The velvet underground homenaje .The femenine voice .I'm in love whith she ."Monica Queen ." The real Queen
uma das bandas que me trazem nostalgia de tempos que nunca vivi
De os créditos dessa frase celebre ao Neymar Jr. ! Hahahah
Acho que viveu sim..kklkkk
So nao da mesma forma q o pessoal do clipe.
LOVE WILL BE FOREVER AND ALWAYS FOR ETERNITY!!!
Incomparable brilliance (also - as if I'm only seeing this video now - loved this song for over 12 years)
You may well be right. This is fantastic. Wow what a band.😊
The super8 film footage of the band playing in the church looks like some amazing unearthed footage of a band from the 60s. Fantastic. Unbelievable song
My all-time favorite of theirs. Gives me the best tingles.
ashhh me encanta, pasan los años, me encanta
Love love love it!
beautiful music .
My God, it is really beautiful
All this great art is heartfelt.. Thank You Stuart and Company.
Wonderful. Love love love it. That outro from 4:32.
Timeless classic.
Sublime ☺
Breathtakingly beautiful.
Triggers mixed memories of my happy but lost youth. Ah well, life...B&B capture it wonderfully...timeless music.
Belle and Sebastian always reminds me of Summer. Or is it the other way around...?
Beautiful! Can't imagine never having heard this song. It can be about anything you want it be about..
Uma das maiores bandas indie do mundo de todo tempo. Sem duvidas!
Ingenious idea, impressively visualized, musically exceptionally well implemented. Chapeau!
Absolute biblical 💚🏴
essa música é fenomenal !!!!
Killer song. Girl vocal is so good. Dolly Parton vibes
Monica Queen
What is it that makes this so goddamned perfect?
I cannot hit like enough.
As the brilliant enigmatic Jean Brody would say in her darkest,sumptuous Scottish brogue " The creme de la creme" !!!!!
CRAYEEM DAE LA CRAYEEM
Absolutamente maravilhosa
My all-time favourite Belle & Sebastian song
This song had 0 views on youtube when I first fell in love.
On the radio. Century of Elvis ... 'What is this?' Radio was good then.
The live version at the outdoor festival is far superior but it has been taken down and I am outraged!
you mean this? th-cam.com/video/QjQnBBFiRRg/w-d-xo.html
I miss living like this
A fine song....love it.
Too beautiful.
Fuck me, The Glasgow is tremendous.
Fiquei me perguntando... porque não ouvi essa música antes! AMEEEIII ja virei fã
Fucking. Glorious.
dearest albums in the shop.
"Push The Barman To Open Old Wounds" (fantastic title) is an amazing album full of great songs!
This song makes me remember the velvet underground
Bernardo Saez Fernandez It makes me remember Bruce Springsteen.
th-cam.com/video/fMYRegDfUJ0/w-d-xo.html
This song makes me remember the velvet underground too. "Sister Ray" also looks like this song. th-cam.com/video/53F5nY68cBM/w-d-xo.html
The outro makes me think of the Live '69 version of What Goes On! Otherwise yeah, much more bright and hopeful than a lot of VU's stuff but the vibe is there
Bruce Springsteen???? O.o
Clean your ears.
This is just a perfect pop tune. Bought it when it was first released and still listen to it on a regular basis
This video still has FAR TOO FEW views. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't a copy of it was uploaded before 2012, but taken down/disappeared? Anyhow, I still love it as much now, as the very first time I heard/saw it, years ago. So thankful that I discovered B + S way back when.
como eu sinto saudade desse tempo!!! musica maravilhosa
Best band ever.
being that i think they are from Glasgow i am surprised i can understand what they are saying, because i was there a year ago and i could not understand a thing anyone was saying.
Fantastic
So goooood
AND THAT'S HOW BELLE & SEBASTIAN WAS FORMED.
Is that St. Regent's park?
@@user-xs3og8us3d Kelvingrove
Such a clever video
Claps songs, makes me happy :D
Such a glorious noise they make when they let it all hang out
Espectacular
Sleeve notes:
Lazy Line Painter Jane prayed for an inspiration that would lift her above the mundanity of midday on a Thursday. She was in a hole, sat with egg and chips, watching buses through the plate glass and easy radio of some old cafe. She was too bashful to pray outright in the cafe, so she pretended to read her fortune at the bottom of her tea cup, and she got what she wanted that way.
The inspiration came along quite soon. It was lucky for her. It had seemed impossible, for her to feel ok, considering the trouble she was in. It seemed impossible, considering the gloominess of that lunchtime.
Jane had never managed to build Thursday into the weekend like some other people did. She didn’t look forward to the weekend anyway. The only good thing about the weekend was that it ushered in the following week. She was a slave to the working week. But she was unemployed.
She was doubtful whether she even deserved her Thursday gift. She had done a lot of swearing and shouting during her period. She almost felt guilty to take up the baton and run. But run she did. Straight to the cathedral graveyard. She took her idea straight through the cathedral graves and out, over the wall at the other end. She found herself in the East End of the city.
She took the inspiration and ran. It filled her like a playground balloon. Now she wasn’t treading on any toes. Jane’s agenda was clear. She just felt like running. To forget her joblessness and her hopelessness. Stripped of her present care, her skin was translucent, and she travelled fast and light over grass and stone precincts. She ran past lines of traffic into quiet streets where her breath and fast steps were the only sound she could hear. Stripped of her present care. And her guilt at being lazy.
Jane pretended she was making indie-rock videos as she tore through the East End. She thought herself quite magnificent, and caused only two minor disturbences as she went. She stopped running when she reached the river.
That was lovely. Reaching the river. A sudden wilderness of wasteland and trees. She may have been a bit worried if it wasn’t for the oxygen pumping in her head, acting like a drug. There was a path, dancing with industrial mayflys, constructed with an air of municipal grants. She followed it, ducking under flyovers, flying over traveller’s caravans. She ran past long curves of ash and alder. She ran until she flopped down in a bus shelter. The rain came on. She had run out of rock video fodder.
She waited in the bus shelter for a while. She had reached the main street of a town that was not part of the city at all. She had reached the provinces, and as such, the youth of the town flirted and taunted with an unaffected provincial air. Casuals drank QC. They put on a show for her, but they never challenged her directly. She was grateful they didn?t pick on her strangeness. Her inspiration had flagged, and she didn?t know how she could handle them by herself.
They went away, to be replaced by the town’s thinking girl’s talent. He smoked a regal cigarette, and paced around a little. Jane couldn’t decide if he was waiting for a bus, or if he had just come out because the rain had stopped. But she liked the sound his segs made on the wet pavement. And she admired him for his quiff. It was the biggest quiff that small town beatings would allow for. He sat down in the shelter. He obliged her by staring at her boots, and rubbing his forhead feverishly. He sat for the length of his cigarette and then went off, leaving Painter Jane alone.
She drank up the peace because she knew that she would be back in her house by fall of night. In the city, a dozen things would be vying for her attention simultaneously. She thought it was around six, but in fact it was nearer nine. She pulled her knees close to her chest. Her jogging bottoms smelled of pollen. She waited for the bus to take her back to the city. As she waited, she thought about how she had got her name, and what she was going to do about it.

Two things to say:
1) I think the woman in this song sounds a lot like Dolly Parton voice wise.
2) This song fucking rocks
