Belle and Sebastian are an indie pop band formed in Glasgow, Scotland in January 1996. They have been called the greatest Scottish band ever, and are one of the most celebrated groups of the 1990s. Belle & Sebastian are often compared to influential indie bands such as The Smiths, as well as classic rock acts such as Love, Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. The name Belle & Sebastian is inspired by Belle et Sébastien, a children's book by French writer Cécile Aubry. Lauded by critics, Belle & Sebastian's "wistful pop" has nevertheless enjoyed only limited commercial success. Wikipedia
Lyrics
Belle and Sebastian - We Are the Sleepyheads
Click to view
Tired like the beggar with the cold inside his bones Looking for the pleasure that he knew was so far gone So far gone I took a turn to myself And I was surprised, cause I saw everyone who ever I had loved I felt a whole lot better after that
People look at us and they think were doing fine People look at us cause they see us all the time All the time But they never take to us We've been in this town so long we may as well be dead So long as people turn their heads And cross the street whenever we walk on by
Someone told the truth when it really mattered most The beauty of the moment is the beauty sadly lost Sadly lost So I went around to your house Over tea and gin we talked about the things we read In Luke and John the things he said And now it's morning we are the sleepyheads
aactually you were second and yeah this band is freakin beautiful
we need songs from "storytelling" on here. like, "i don't want to play football"!
yay! im the first to comment on how amazing you are!!!
