    Wish I could write just ONE SONG this good. I could die happy, singing my one song, so good that others around me and my deathbed, would sing it too, all of us with smiles on our faces. Seriously, this is one great tune. Mr. Murdoch has the gift like no one else these days. John and Paul had it; so did Paul Simon, Joni, Cole Porter, a few others.

    Such a perfect pop song, reminds me of those great songs from the mid 60's. Beautiful. You can listen to this song all day and focus on what each instrument including vocals, and find something new every time. Brilliant.

    I miss that book shop! “Voltaire and Rousseau”. Used to hunt for cheap antique books whenever I went to Tchai Ovna tearooms next door while a poor student in Glasgow. Unbelievably, it is still there 20 years on and still owned by the same gentleman who doesn’t seem to age!

    Qué jovencitos que estaban aquí!!! Y la canción un TEMAZO, y la parte del final que canta Stevie él solito una maravilla!!! Mi miembro favorito de Belle and Sebastian es Stuart Murdoch, pero Sarah y Stevie lo hacen también genial. Me encantaría que en un futuro álbum hubiese una canción en la que cantasen los tres cada uno una estrofa o una parte solos, sería MARAVILLOSO 😊😊

    It was pretty bright, up on the rainbow bridge tonight
    I could see into your window although you're far away
    You were racing in a car
    Beside a boy, you just don't know if he is up for
    What you have in mind
    If he is up for what you have in mind
    Change is on the cards, but this time it will be hard
    But I never want to leave you
    We've never had a fight
    You should never split a pole
    You should never split at all
    I wish I had two paths that I could follow
    I'd write the ending without any sorrow
    I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting there
    I will wrap my hands around you
    I know it will be fine
    We've got a fantasy affair
    We didn't get wet, we didn't dare
    Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books
    Our inclinations are hidden in looks
    Summer's hastening on
    I'm trying to get a feeling from the city
    But I've been unfaithful
    I've been travelling abroad
    We've got a fantasy affair
    We didn't get wet, we didn't dare
    Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books
    Our inclinations are hidden in looks

      @Lonesome_lopez 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Correction: one of the sexiest videos. If you listen closely, the song is pretty bleak. It's about not having the courage to live what imagination can create. It is a harsh reality for many a thoughtful person. The character of Walter Mitty sums it up perfectly.
