Hey people, looking out the window at the city below Hey people, looking out the window, full of fun and sorrow Hey people, looking out the window at the city below Hey people, looking out the window, you'll be gone tomorrow The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside Take Judy, with her bow and arrow, she's a mastermind Too frumpy for the teenage population of her time Car coat, she has a quilted jacket with a hood if it rains Big pockets for the pharmaceuticals she takes to fix her brain The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside Of all the trouble kept her inside A puzzle, for the moment settle down to do it with him You're happy cause your cosy and the rain comes rattling in It tickles, and it's something that is very good for the skin You're waiting for a baby, baby, watch the idiot running You're hanging from the balcony upon the riverboat glass You're watching with your mouth wide open for the top of the class She came on with the boys while you were stuck in various poses If you were to remove your clothes d'you think the singer would notice?
on the other hand, and i don't know why up until now i read that lyrics so lightly but "big pockets for the pharmaceuticals she takes to fix her brain" is just actually heartbreaking! it hurts, like a lot! even if its just a fictional character from a song. i thought judy would write a song about her dream of horses and this now feels like an utter defeat of some unknown kind. they let judy go blind....
Beautiful musical changes around the Chorus. Belle and Sebastian do saccharine melancholy so well... All my mates were listening to cut ya wrist dirges when they fell in and out of life. I think a Belle and Sebastian session was a better tonic!

Damn you, Belle & Sebastian, making me cry on a Wednesday afternoon...
Probably B&S' most gorgeous composition. Funeral-worthy.
I have to be in the right mood but when i am, i fuc*in' love Belle and Sebastian.
I adore this song.
Hey people, looking out the window at the city below
Hey people, looking out the window, full of fun and sorrow
Hey people, looking out the window at the city below
Hey people, looking out the window, you'll be gone tomorrow
The rollercoaster ride
The rollercoaster ride
Of all the trouble kept her inside
Take Judy, with her bow and arrow, she's a mastermind
Too frumpy for the teenage population of her time
Car coat, she has a quilted jacket with a hood if it rains
Big pockets for the pharmaceuticals she takes to fix her brain
The rollercoaster ride
The rollercoaster ride
Of all the trouble kept her inside
Of all the trouble kept her inside
A puzzle, for the moment settle down to do it with him
You're happy cause your cosy and the rain comes rattling in
It tickles, and it's something that is very good for the skin
You're waiting for a baby, baby, watch the idiot running
You're hanging from the balcony upon the riverboat glass
You're watching with your mouth wide open for the top of the class
She came on with the boys while you were stuck in various poses

Belle & Sebastian are the most underrated British act of the era certainly. Can hear some Paul Simon inspiration in this one.
Scottish band and they are unbelievable to me so bloody unreal
i love how judy appears here too!!!
