it happened last night, i dreamed the video for the forthcoming single! the band were in a deserted airport at night and they were skateboarding and scootering around the place. that was kind of it, sorry, it was quite cool when i dreamed it, the song was dead funky with a choppy wah-wah guitar type bit in it. i was wrong about my last dreamed song prediction so i've no reason to believe this one will be any better. people have been mentioning Sigur Rós again. this can only be a good thing. the american publication 'entertainment weekly' described the band as: sigur rós = [(pink floyd + godspeed you black emperor) + air] so how would B&S be described best as a mathematical equation? Belle & Sebastian = (love + the smiths) x nick drake i'm sure some of you can come up with something better than that, in fact why limit it to just bands, i suppose any variables could be allowed; is twee a variable? are 'the films of Hal Hartley' a variable? hot dogs and cold drinks, Pez* PS for those who are interested, this is what i do in my spare time. sad i know, but i didn't go as far as transcribing the violin solo bit. i'm not *that* good. -use as you see fit and feel free to correct the mistakes in the lyrics- ---------------------------------------------------- Song: Shoot the sexual athlete Artist: Belle and sebastian chords: A x02220 A/D xx0220 D xx0232 G 320003 ---------------------------------------------------- verse 1 D G now i'm in a band, people try to make me do things D G kiss arses and pay tribute D G but i'm inclined today to do those things anyway D G and i don't care who hears it chorus 1 A A/D coz i'm a fan of the go-betweens A A/D a fan of robert and i always have been A A/D but i like grant, now that i've met him A because he's charming. verse 2 of all the stars, and all the would be stars i take them home to my mum and dad yeah he's charming, but he's a troublemaker too he amuses me greatly chorus 2 i like wendy and i saw vickers pete stole the set list and the itinerary he wrote my name down as "to a rent boy" it was hard but so is life instrumental verse instrumental chorus verse 3 i was making button badges and i had too much time on my hands i coloured them by hand Pere Ubu and erm...
