Sinister: Lyrics again
by Nick.Dastoor＠guardian.co.uk 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Brandt told us a tender tale of falling in love with his best friend: >>Someone was talking about having their heart broken last night and I totally related, because I also put my heart on the line last night, also with my best friend. She and I talked for a while, I found out what her concerns about us going out were and no doors were shut. We're not together, but we are, and we're still friends. I think the best part is that there are still possibilities. >> However, when I first looked at it, I misread the last word as 'prostitutes'. Anyway, I didn't come here to make cheap bathetic (ooh - he said 'bathetic') jokes. In conjunction with my contacts in the Irish civil service, I have amended those unreleased lyrics that I posted a while ago. Honey said he's happy to put them up on the website, and I think they're almost ready now, so hurry up with any last minute suggestions. A few points: - I've added 'Rhoda'. In response to whoever it was that asked, those lines about Nabsico and Kellogg's from the documentary would fit into the Special K breakfast cereal theme, but as far as I know, they aren't actually in 'Rhoda'. I can't really see 'Rhoda' getting released to be honest because it's not very good. And does he really sing 'happy with a faggot friend?'. That's what it sounds like. - I've left out the Century of Elvis and Space Boy Dream lyrics because Swedish Katarina pointed out to me that they are now on the official Jeepster lyrics page. But their version says that Stuart jumps over a fence on his way to Prior's Road, whereas I thought it said 'Byres Road' cause Byres Road seems to be the place where everything in Glasgow's 'bohemian' fox-watching West End happens. But maybe it is Prior's Road - I dunno. I've also left out 'Pocketbook Angel' and the other two demos from that tape because they aren't really B&S songs and Stuart is apparently embarrassed by them or at least wouldn't want their lyrics placed in a prominent position on the web. Which is fair enough, I think. - Although they're not B&S lyrics, I've added the passage from Washington Irving's 'Rip Van Winkle' that Isobel reads at the during 'I Could Be Dreaming.' Thank you to foxinasnow Jess for this. - I haven't done 'Winter Wooskie' yet. - Has no one get any idea what the third line of 'Lord Anthony' really is? Once again, I apologise for being so fucking boring. Nick xx Rhoda Young girl, she's a simple person Not as young as she looks But whoever is in this day and age In this day and age, yeah She gives me goosebumps, picks up malaria (?) Funny feeling like buying whisky in a whisky bar The things she says Yeah the the things she says And on her arm there's freckles and scars Do you know what they are? Do you know where they came from? Wondering, 'cause she wouldn't tell me No she wouldn't tell me, no She likes to sing a lot, she likes to play a lot But it hurts her so she gave it up for medicinal drugs Now she's really happy Now she's really happy, yeah And she is happy with a fag in her lips And a fag as friend [poss. 'faggot friend' ?!] And a fag in the morning with her Special K A ray of sunshine A ray of sunshine, yeah Well I'm in love with a certain boy He's a simple person Not as young as he looks But whoever is in this day and age In this day and age, yeah He gives me goosebumps, picks up malaria (?) Funny feeling like buying whisky in a whisky bar The things he says Yeah the the things he says And on his arms there's freckles and scars Do you know what they are? Do you know where they came from? Wondering, 'cause he wouldn't tell me No she wouldn't tell me, no She likes to play a lot, she likes to sing a lot But it hurts him so he gave it up for medicinal drugs Now he's really happy Now he's really happy, yeah And he is happy with a fag in his lips (?) And a fag as friend (?) And a fag in the morning with his Special K A ray of sunshine A ray of sunshine, yeah Yeah he fell to Earth in a rainstorm I don't care wherever he came from 'Cause the boy's all right by me Yeah she fell to Earth in a rainstorm I don't care wherever she came from 'Cause the girl's all right by, yeah Well I'm in love with a certain boy Well I'm in love with a certain girl The Loneliness Of A Middle-Distance Runner I'll take a second of the day to think about the things that we have done this year The dog lies down, the pouring rain, I'm underneath the smokers' railway arch again (?) The future's looking colourful It's the colour of blood, chaos and corruption of a happy soul A happy soul will write in the field, write in the field, write in the field 'Til the rain dies down. The railway ticket states the destination but it doesn't mean that we will show There's a fork upon the line, we'll pay the guard to switch the sign and off we go The future's looking wonderful It's the wonder of the businessman's conspiracy to sell you wares, but no-one cares Oh you care I know, you care I know, you care I know I forgot for a while And on a sulky afternoon spent in dispute you'll give yourself a headache yeah So I take revenge in stories, and I'm dreaming of the time when you're on stage Have you seen the loneliness of a middle distance runner, as he stops the race and looks around, all at the stage I've seen it so (?) I'll walk to the station, walk to the station, walk to the station Won't you follow me? The Wrong Girl I went looking for my darling I went looking for a sign And I found her in the morning Somewhere in the back of my mind I'm not what I could be I need a true love I went looking and I found one The wrong girl The wrong kind The wrong hand to be holding The wrong eyes to go searching behind The wrong dream to have in my mind I went looking for my darling I went looking for a sign And I found her in the morning Somewhere in the back of my mind I'm not what I could be I need a true love I went looking and I found one The wrong girl The wrong kind The wrong hand to be holding The wrong eyes to go searching behind The wrong dream to have in my mind I'm not what I could be I need some loving I went looking and I found some The wrong girl The wrong kind The wrong hand to be holding The wrong eyes to go searching behind The wrong dream to have in my mind The wrong girl Paper Boat I think it's going to be all right, I think it's going to be just fine, I think it's going to get much better than before, I think we're going to see the sun, I think we're going to have some fun, I think we're going to walk out through the open door Maybe when you wake up in the morning Maybe when the darkened skies are grey Maybe in a paper boat we'll both just sail away Underneath the river trees Off towards the lazy sea Underneath the bridge that carries people home Past the church where Jesus saves Off to find the path of good ways, Sailing off towards adventures of our own Maybe when I wake up in the morning, Maybe when the darken skies are grey Maybe in a paper boat we'll both just float away Trumpety bit. I think it's going to be good fun. Lord Anthony Anthony, bullied at school Get your own back now you are cool Or are you scared of bunking up who you'll talk (??) It's all gone wrong again you got double maths But the teacher's got no control The boys all run riot "You all stay quiet or you will die" Tony, back of the gym Smoke another one, your chances are slim, 'Cause here they come again They got you on the ground You're tasting blood again At least it's your own When will you realize it doesn't pay To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys, "Shut your mouth, start kicking the football" Bang on the teeth you were out for a weekend (?) You may as well take it in the guts, it can't get worse Just take it in the guts, it can't get worse Just take it in the guts, it can't get worse Just take it in the guts, it can't get worse Oh but hey, you'll soon be old enough to leave them all Without a notion of a care You'll leave two fingers in the air To England Tony, you're a bit of a mess Melted Tolberone under your dress But if the kids could see you they would pass you right by The mascara running over your eye Why don't you realize it doesn't pay To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys, "Shut your mouth, start kicking the football" Bang on the teeth you were out for a weekend (?) They call you Lord Anthony but hey, it could be worse Lord Anthony but hey, it could be worse Lord Anthony but hey, it could be worse Lord Anthony but hey, it kind of suits you anyway You'll soon be old enough to leave them all Without a notion of a care You'll leave two fingers in the air To England "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving for class, and as i was making my way through the story, i came to a passage that sounded oddly familiar: "Times grew worse and worse with Rip Van Winkle as years of matrimony rolled on; a tart tempter never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edge tool that grows keener by constant use. For a long while he used to console himself, when driven from home, by frequenting a kind of perpetual club of the sages, philosophers, and other idle personages of the village, that held its sessions on a bench before a small inn, designated by a rubicund portrait of his majesty George the Third. Here they used to sit in the shade, of a long lazy summer's day, talk listlessly over village gossip, or tell endless sleepy stories about nothing. But it would have been worth any statesman's money to have heard the profound discussions that sometimes took place, when by chance an old newspaper fell into their hands, from some passing traveller. How solemnly they would listen to the contents, as drawled out by Derrick Van Bummel, the schoolmaster, a dapper learned little man, who was not to be daunted by the most gigantic word in the dictionary..." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Attn: Mid Distance Runners
by Bill Moss 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Wow, It's been ages since I posted last! I'll bet everyone I once conversed with is now gone :( Two Belle and Sebatian related questions/requests: I have a tape that cuts off before the first verse ends :( on the most brilliant take of Sleep the Clock Around which is announced as Sleep Around the Clock ...it's so nice and reverby. Anyone know where I could get the full recording? I may have something to trade as well? I also have a NYC Supper Club recording with the lovely Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner. I would love a clearer recording though this one rocks!! It kind of reminds me of kick-ass 70's-rock and I love that yummy guitar solo :) Anyone know the words or what it's about - is it going to be on a new EP any time soon? I read somewhere that the Flaming Lips were Stuart David's favorite show at Bowlie. I saw them at Christmas in Washington, DC a few years bacl and can vouch - they're the best show I've ever seen as well. xxx Bill Moss _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: The Boy with the Adlestrop
by stephen hewitt 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Not a sp. but a small village in Gloucestershire. A man just phoned me and left his address (in Adlestrop) and I was trying not to giggle and sing 'The Boy with the Adlestrop'. Regarding LLPJ, if she was a prostitute I don't think she would need to toss a coin to tell her mum/folks about a dose of thrush or for that matter need a book to tell her about the lotions and potions available (I'd recommend Caneston, btw), but I do like the ambiguity in 'have a boy/girl tonight' regarding 'have sex with' or 'give birth to', I hadn't thought of that, top marks whoever mentioned that. Typically, the day after a bank holiday is sunny and warm following a v.v.rainy weekend (three inches of rain falling in half an hour on Saturday, the same half an hour we walked to the bus station, d'oh!), and I'm stuck inside a very, very quiet office (it's half term, so there are no students or lecturers) talking on the phone to people with humourous addresses. *sigh* Thank you to Mr Kevan for putting me and Mrs CarsmileSteve up on Saturday night and hello to everyone who was at the picnic on Sunday (Bah! we were robbed in the !P!O!P! quiz), and a big thanks to Tim Hopkins for supplying me with my new name xoxo TAFKACS (The Artist Formally Known As CarsmileSteve) > ---------------------------------------------- > 'Slightly Anal About 80s Pop' > > carsmilesteve(a)geocities.com > > visit the historic record of Carsmile at http://fast.to/carsmile > > 'Anyone need a singer?' > +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Pooch!
by Anna J 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Hi list, Nick posted the bit from Rip Van Winkle: I went to the library yesterday to finally look for the book as I have always been charmed by that "not to be daunted by the most gigantic word in the dictionary"-line, only to find that the only version they had was this "learn English using a vocabulary of 500 words"-version, so when I finally found the passage from I Could Be Dreaming they had reduced it to about 4 lines and taken away the entire dictionary-bit! I was so bummed I didn't borrow it (although the accompanying cassette with a normal/slow reading alternative seemed intriguing), but at least I finally got to see the the spelling of Derrick Van Brummel. And I'm not even sure I even remember it properly anymore. It is sort of like the lyrics for TBWTAS, I don't know how many times I had to look up "lascivious" before it stuck. "Lysten" if any Swedes are wondering, but I am sure everybody else was clever enough to know it without ever having to look it up. And whilst I am on the subject of the English language, if anybody's wondering why so many foreigners like the language, I think I have found the answer in three words. I was reading the B&S article in Record Collector when I came across the bit "eponymous vehicular pooch". You guys!!! :) I am sure this somehow magically translates into Dog On Wheels, but I am afraid consulting a dictionary might somehow spoil the magic. Now, in what other language would anyone ever think of saying eponymous vehicular pooch??? If a boy had said it to me I am sure my heart would have melted instantly. Oh, and a B&S question (!) - I got an ad-thing from a pretty crappy Swedish magazine called SA the other day (although they once had a B&S interview) and if you start subscribing you'll get a Tigermilk-promo single, not available anywhere else in Sweden (cheap trick!). I was wondering if anybody knows what songs are on it? Not that I'm planning to get it, since the magazine is crap, and quite frankly I am broke, but nevertheless. Cheerio, Anna :) P.S. I know it was a while ago, but hello to everybody I met at Bowlie! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: My Baby's Got BSE
by PJMiller 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

I don't know why the lovely Lydia came last in the Eurovision Song Contest, because I didn't see it. I was too busy trying to find somebody, anybody to go to see Napalm Death with me. Oh well. But I do know that a few weeks/stroke/months ago, Lydia came to our local Alcampo Superstore to sign copies of her album. Had I known she was going to come last in the Eurovision Song Contest I would have gone along and got her to sign my flab, but I didn't know, so I had to make do with looking at the photos afterwards. She struck me as being a very nice polite young lady, patiently attending the Tellytubbies age-group fans queuing up for her autograph. Perhaps that's why she lost, because all her fans were tucked up in bed, so they couldn't phone their votes in. Well, a similar excuse seemed to work when Beepster were desperately trying to explain away their surprising "win" in the Brits. Will Looper be doing tour t-shirts for their amazing "excess all areas especially the reading aloud area" US jaunt? JD Salinger or Inspector Gadget? You decide.... Thank you to Ailsa for her detailed account of Saturday night. More stalking, that's what we need. Those gorgeous blonde groupies sounded like the Fembots from Austin Powers. I can just imagine Mad Dog Murdoch loosening his collar and trying to think about Margaret Thatcher in the nude on a cold day, to stop himself from getting a stiffy, which would have led to the rapid evacuation of the entire bar. Have we got any Man City fans on the list? Here is a nice paragraph from this week's "Economist" - the "Smash Hits" of the financial world: "In contrast, the many thousands of people in Manchester who have rejected United and instead support the chronically unsuccesful Manchester City get a fantastic press. They are "true fans" - in other words, they are masochists who have turned their back on the hollow pleasures of victory in favour of repeated and humiliating defeat." Michael Jones, I have the solution to your problem - simply insert a "Zeta" between your first and last names and hey presto! Guys! If you're mates with a bird and then ask her out and she gives you a knockback, try to stay mates with her - all is not lost! You never know, she might have a good-looking mate with big knockers who's dying for a shag, and willing to do it with absolutely anybody.

Sinister: le premier post d'un petit ponce
by Erlend Hammer 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Hi. Since I received my Voice the other night I thought I should use it and tell you all a bit about myself. I'm Erlend, but sometimes I go under the name of Erland. That, however, is only when English speaking people have mis-spelled my name, something which happens quite a lot for some reason. I am 21 years old and I live in Norway. For the last year and a half I've been studying Art History at the University of Bergen. Bergen is a rainy city on the west-coast. Next semester I'll most likely be studying Philosophy, simply because I'm trying to study the most useless subjects known to man so that when I'm finished at uni I can go on the dole or live off my parents. (Unless someone offers me a lush job in the art or music world that is.) At the moment I'm on vacation, well almost I still have one oral exam to go, and I'm working as a substitute teacher at the school I attended when I was wee bairn. Children are naughty these days. My favorite book of all time is Dostoevsky's The Idiot. But the most intense reading experience I've had was The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles, perhaps the most disturbing book ever written. Even though I can't exactly say why. As I'm writing this I'm listening to the Tribute to Spacemen 3 album. I like Spacemen 3. And I love Spiritualized. I tend to become obsessed with things and one of my current obsessions is that I need to get every Spiritualized record ever released. I am also obsessed with learning to play the piano, and learning French. Should I say something about Belle & Sebastian? Maybe. The first time I heard them was about a year ago when I was sitting in my sister's room watching MTV's Alternative Nation waiting for a Mogwai video. Hmm, wait, I wasn't actually in my sister's room, I'd stepped out to go to the loo and when I came out of the bathroom I heard a voice which I thought sounded a bit like Nick Drake. The video showed a rather handsome young man walking around a nice-looking town. Anyway, I forgot about this song and the band for a couple of months. Then a friend gave me a tape she'd made me and on it was a lovely song about getting away from somewhere because one was dying. I immediately fell in love with this song and went on a quest to get the album. And that wasn't particularly difficult as a record store in Oslo was selling it cheaply at this time. I read the liner notes and thought to myself that The Idle Thoughts of A Daydreamer would have been a good title for my then current writing project, ludicrously titled The Erlend Hammer Manifesto. As you can probably guess "TEHM" was a right self-indulgent load of bollocks. And a few months later the Manifesto was put to sleep during a depression caused by a young lady. I deleted it and hopefully those of my friends who received copies have done the same. And since then my desire to write has turned to eraserdust. When I was 18 I swore that if I had not written the greatest Norwegian novel ever by the age of 25, I should kill myself in shame. (And writing the greatest Norwegian novel ever really wouldn't be that difficult.) Anyway, I think I have rambled enough for now. Thank you for allowing me entrance into the collective consciousness that is this list and I'm off to watch re-runs of Home And Away now. Cheers. Oh, I'll leave you with a limerick about the first time I heard Belle & Sebastian: I discovered the band on the telly, coming out of the room that was smelly. I applauded their song, but it didn't last long and the next vi-de-o was by Belly. Bye for now.

Sinister: On being in love, Hal Hartley and good books
by Brandt S. Fundak 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

I seem to be making a habit of posting to the list...something I am usually very reticent to do, but events of tonight made me want to share with you what I view to be many of the wonders of life, something that I feel many sinisterites may find relevant to this list. First, I would like to say that I live in a town where a Christian bookstore burns and an ice cream parlor sprouts up in its place. The ice cream is very tasty, and a little more enlightening I've found than the dogmatic nature of most Christian bookstores. Secondly, if you tell someone you are in love with them and share a few awkward kisses, and they call you the next day to hang out, that is a good thing right? Third, I just got done watching Henry Fool. I thought I would share, as I have heard a lot of the people on this list have raved about it. I really enjoyed this film, but I still have to stand by Rushmore (Out June 29 in the US) as being the best film I have seen this year. However, I want to check out more of Hartley's films (and those of Jim Jarmusch, whose Night on Earth I really enjoyed.) Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should see next by either of these fine film makers? That reminds me, while I am talking about film, I thought I might suggest a couple of films that I have seen recently that I have really enjoyed. If you get the chance, check out the aforementioned Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Rubin and Ed, Smoke Signals, Pi and Six String Samurai. I think that you will enjoy these films, but then again you can tell me to sod off if you'd like. And I realize that a couple of posts ago that I slagged J.D. Salinger (deservedly so) and I thought that those of you who know me via chat and those of you who like to make snap judgements might have been thinking, "Christ, does this guy like anything? What a negative fuck!" Well I will make a peace offering by recommending on of my favorite authors, Russell Banks, who wrote the brilliant novel THe Sweet Hereafter, which was subsequently turned into the critically acclaimed film of the same name by Atom Egoyan. He has written other brilliant novels and I am reading Continental Drift right now. Okay, enough shooting off at the mouth. I will try to limit my posts to this list, but my life has been exciting and wonderful as of late, and this list is a kind ear where I can share my deep thoughts, dreams, loves and disappointments. Brandt "VIRGO AND CANCER: Virgo provides the emotional security that Cancer needs and the little attentions that provide affection. Cancer's dependence finds its perfect answer in Virgo's needs to be protective. cancer's imagination is stimulating to Virgo, and Cancer's anxiety to please deepens Virgo's affections.Both will come out of their shell and begin to enjoy life." --Sexual Astrology (1976) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
