Belle and Sebastian - Another Sunny Day

4:05

Lyrics:
Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden
You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon
I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border
It broke the heart of men and flowers, and girls, and trees

Another rainy day, we're trapped inside with a train set
Chocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we met
You've got the attic window lookin' out on the cathedral
And on a Sunday evening bells ring out in the dusk

Another day in June, we'll pick eleven for football
We're playing for our lives the referee gives us fuck all
I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines
Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds

Now, everybody's gone you picked me up for a long drive
We take the tourist route the nights are light until midnight
We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula
We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill
That crazy avenue of trees, I'm living there still

There's something in my eye a little midge so beguiling
Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye
I heard the eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dear
You missed my eye, I wonder why, I didn't complain
You missed my eye, I wonder why, please do it again

The lovin' is a mess, what happened to all of the feeling?
I thought it was for real, babies, rings and fools kneeling
And words of pledging trust and lifetimes stretching forever
So what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apart
Ghost figures of past, present, future haunting the heart

(I do not own this song.)

Nobody's Empire

Lying on my bed I was reading French
With the light too bright for my senses
From this hiding place, life was way too much
It was loud and rough round the edges

So I faced the wall when an old man called
Out of dreams that I would die there
But a sight unseen, you were pulling strings
And you had a different idea

I was like a child, I was light as straw
When my father lifted me up there
Took me to a place where they checked my body
My soul was floating in thin air

I clung to the bed, and I clung to the past
And I clung to the welcome darkness
But at the end of the night
There’s a green green light
It’s the quiet before the madness

There was a girl that sang like the chime of a bell
She put out her arm and she touched me when I was in hell

Someone sang a song and I sang along
Cause I knew the words from my childhood
Intellect, ambition they fell away
They locked me up for my own good

But I didn’t mind cause the silence was kind
And you spoke to me in whispers
There was the sound of the wind in the cold cold dawn
And the quiet hum of business

Let me dangle a while in this waiting room
I don’t need to go I don’t need to know what your doing

Lying on my side you were half awake and your face was tired and crumpled
If I had a camera I’d snap you now ‘cause there’s beauty in every stumble

We are out of practise we're out of sight
On the edge of nobody’s empire
If we live by books and we live by hope
Does that make us targets for gunfire?

Now I look at you you’re a mother of two
You’re a quiet revolution
Marching with the crowd singing dirty and loud
For the people’s emancipation

Did I do ok, did I pave the way?
Was I strong when you were wanting?
I was tied to the yoke with a decent bloke
Who was stern but never daunting

And he told me to push and he made me feel well
And he told me to leave that vision of hell to the dying

We Were Beautiful

I was blank as I could be
Hearing voices telling me
Walk away from everything
But where was I meant to go?
Far away from those I know
To some desolate below

We were in the uber scene
Where they grind the coffee bean
And the women are oblique
And the boys are paper thin
Ragged beards upon their chin
We are on the outside looking in

Rise above the present day
Rise above the popular melee
I see you the way you are
I see you the star

We were beautiful before this went down
We were beautiful before the years came
And turned it upside down
We were beautiful before we got wise
We were beautiful with sky and blanket laying low

I am hanging on the line
I'm on duty all the time
I am your Samaritan on call
I could try my best to heal
All the emptiness you feel
In the giving I will be alive

We were wrapped around our roots
Nothing on except our boots
We were intimate around the waist
We were settling our scores
We were healing over sores
We were living out the pleasure that we lost

We were beautiful before this went down
We were beautiful before the years came
And turned it upside down
We were beautiful for all of time and space
I will tell it to the sun and I will tell it to..

If you listen to the night
We can hear the madmen fight
Hear the foxes making out
But the people are immune
Sleeping silent in their rooms
Growing bodies with their sleep
Making plans inside their heads
Making love to shallow friends
Shallow friends

You are not too old to change
Happy only comes after the pain
Of you and me

We were beautiful before the years
came and turned it upside down
We were beautiful before we got wise
We were beautiful with sky and blanket fading out

We were beautiful before this went down
We were beautiful before the years
came and turned it upside down
We were beautiful for all of time and space
I will tell it to the sun and I will tell it to your face

Éramos hermosos (español)

Estaba en blanco
Escuchaba voces diciéndome
Escapa de todo
¿Pero a dónde debía ir?
Lejos de aquellos que conozco,
A algún lugar inhóspito.

Estábamos en el mejor lugar
Donde muelen los granos de café.
Y las mujeres son oblicuas
Y los chicos tan delgados como papel,
Barbas andrajosas sobre su mentón.
Miramos la escena desde afuera.

Supera el día de hoy,
Supera el famoso tumulto.
Te veo tal como eres.
Veo tu estrella.

Éramos hermosos antes de que esto decayera
Éramos hermosos antes de que los años pasaran
Y pusieran todo boca abajo
Éramos hermosos antes de ser sabios.
Éramos hermosos bajo la manta y bajo el cielo.

Estoy a la espera
Estoy en guardia todo el tiempo
Soy tu samaritano en turno
Haría lo imposible para sanar
El vacío que sientes
Al ayudar estaré vivo

Atrapados en nuestras raíces
Con nada más que nuestras botas
Íntimos por la cintura
Resolvíamos nuestras disputas
Sanábamos nuestros heridas
Vivíamos el placer que alguna vez perdimos

Éramos hermosos antes de que esto decayera
Éramos hermosos antes de que los años pasaran
Y pusieran todo boca abajo
Éramos hermosos a través del tiempo y el espacio
Se lo diré al sol y se lo diré a…

Si escuchas a la noche
Podemos oír a los locos pelear
A los zorros liándose
Pero la gente es inmune
Duerme tranquila en su habitación
Cuerpos crecen mientras sueñan
Hacen planes en sus mentes
Hacen el amor a amigos superficiales.
Amigos superficiales.

No eres demasiado viejo para cambiar.
La felicidad sólo llega después del dolor
Tuyo y mío

Éramos hermosos antes de que los años pasaran
y pusieran todo boca abajo
Éramos hermosos antes de ser sabios
Éramos hermosos con la manta y el cielo desvaneciéndose.

Éramos hermosos antes de que esto decayera
Éramos hermosos antes de que los años pasaran
y pusieran todo boca abajo.
Éramos hermosos a través del tiempo y el espacio.
Se lo diré al sol y se lo diré a tu rostro.

Perfect Couples

I know some friends of mine
Think about them all the time
Why can’t my life be like that?
I’ve seen them in the park
Restauranting after dark
Working out on their yoga mats
Stars of the dancehall crowd
Married young, took their vows
Comfort in their boldness and their flair

Dab hands for all to see
Stroke of brush and poetry
His cut of cloth, the contours of her hair

Thank you for the invite tonight
Perfect snacklets, perfect drinks
I’m getting ideas from your interiors
Perfect apartment, perfect kids

Perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done?
Those perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done?
Don’t make me feel so good
Expect that stuff in Hollywood,
Not in my current milieu

Sexual tension at the fridge
He makes for the organic figs
Belmondo lips, dangling a cig

And she, just back from her hike
And to the gallery she might glide by
With a basket on a bike

They’ve got issues too
But what can you do?
Bad times, they’ll always see them through

(It always lurked in her mind)
Perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done? (In the back of her mind)
Perfect couples, they keep breaking up
What have I done? (It always lurked in his mind)
Those perfect couples are now breaking up
What have they done? (In the back of their minds)
Perfect couples, they keep breaking up
What have I done?

Never happy with my girl
Jealous of a different world
Suddenly the years slip away

What am I waiting for? (I see those perfect couples and I)
What makes me close the door?
I see those perfect couples (Why can’t I be like them?)
I admire the most
Finding fault with my heart (Its always been the same and then)
And always back to the start
What makes me get in the fray
then just throw it away
Yeah, I throw it away
Yes I throw it away (only to find)
Yes I throw it away (only to find)

Perfect couples are breaking up…

Belle & Sebastian Piazza, New York Catcher

3:02

Elope with me Miss Private and we'll sail around the world
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
Oh elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze
A trail for the devil to erase

San Francisco's calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
About the saddest ending of a book you ever had to read
The statue's crying too and well he may

I love you I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
I love you my responsibility has found a place
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Come wave upon me from the wider family net absurd
You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job
Maybe, but not what she deserves

Elope with me Miss Private and we'll drink ourselves awake
( From: )
We'll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
We'll comment on the decor and we'll help the passer by
And at dusk when work is over we'll continue the debate
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
He knows the drink affects his speed he's praying for
a doorway
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Life outside the diamond is a wrench

I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
I know it wouldn't come to love, my heroine pretend
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
You'd settle for an epitaph like Walk Away, Renee
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
a flower
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Meet you at the statue in an hour
