Stuart David [Belle & Sebastian]

dreamt I had to go to Mars.

I'm always kidding on about going to Mars for the day
But faced with the reality of it, in a dream, i was terrified.

And it wasn't going to be like a moon trip
There was three of us going, but we couldn't all go on the same ship
We had to go one at a time with a day between us.

I had to go first, and it was the thought of passing through all that black space
All the darkness with nothing in it, and then being the first one to land there, all alone... I knew it was supposed to be all dark around, with just a red surface
But what if I got there and it was light, all civilised and populated and stuff?

So I made a plan.
The other astronauts were going to be my dad and my sister
And my dad would come first after me
So i decided when i landed i would just stay in my seat until he got there
And then we could get out together and have a look around
And see what sort of things were there.

And when I woke up and I was lying in the darkness, I thought I had landed.
And I just lay still for a while, waiting for my dad to get there too.

Summer in winter
Winter in springtime
You heard the birds sing
Everything will be fine

I spent the summer wasting
The time was passed so easily
But if the summer's wasted
How come that I could feel so free
I spent the summer wasting
The sky was blue beyond compare
A photograph of myself
Is all I have to show for

Seven weeks of river walkways
Seven weeks of staying up all night

I spent the summer wasting
The time was passed so pleasantly
Say cheerio to books now
The only things I'll read are faces
1 spent the summer wasting
Under a canopy of

Seven weeks of reading papers
Seven weeks of river walkways
Seven weeks of feeling guilty
Seven weeks of staying up all night

Summer in winter
Winter is springtime
You heard the bird say
Everything will be fine

Joseph was travelling with a heavy load
His dreams were broken and deep sorrow flowed
from his brow
Closer to sundown he prepared to rest
Set down the burden,
lay upon his chest
Then she came
Sir, come to me and I will keep you warm
Taste hope in my skin and faith with the dawn
You will rise
Beyond the sunrise that is where we live
Feeding our counsel and true comfort give
Travelling men
Joseph was sure the liquor had caused this dream
His eyes were sure that heaven was not her scene
She was no saint
Sir, come to me and I will keep you warm
Taste hope in my skin and faith with the dawn
you will rise

Bug rain
Listen to all the bugs rain
Rain on the van, and watch James
Trying to stay awake

We're shaking
Just as the storm is breaking
And James is hallucinating
Trying to stay awake

In the rain and the rain and the rain and the rain
Rain and the rain and the rain and the rain
Rain and the rain and the rain and all the
Bug Rain

We know
We're two hundred miles from Fargo
And we tune into the radio
Trying to stay awake

Yawning
Through the tornado warning
Driving towards the morning
Trying to stay awake

In the rain and the rain and the rain and the rain
Rain and the rain and the rain and the rain
Rain and the rain and the rain and all the
Bug Rain

In the rain and the rain and the rain and the rain
The rain and the rain and the rain and the rain
The rain and the rain and the rain and all the
Bug Rain

what was it I saw in New York
I'm not the same anymore
how will I hide these feelings inside
call my girl on the phone
neon lights shine brgith
Taxi cabs glide by
aeroplanes they fly
high up in the sky
pretty girl says Hi
whats the worst
job you've had
what do you read
what's driving you mad
met the cigarette girl
took a note of her charmed
but no cigar
met the Indie Cool Queen
took me out to the bar
and showed me the scene
my little girl I can't find
she's five hours behind
it's the singer not the song
something's gone wrong
said the spider to the fly
do I like this girl
it's such a big world
I like the tone of her voice
I loved the sound of her voice

When I get back to London from
outer space
will it fall into place
I'll hold onto my smile
find my girl in a while
look myself in the face
don't know what you see
am I playing in your movie
you're in my magazine
are you talking to me

I'm lucky, 1 can open the door and I can walk down the street
Unlucky, I've got nowhere to go and so 1 follow my feet

A choice is facing you, a healthy dose of pain
A choice is facing you as you stare through the rain
A choice is facing you but I choose to refrain for today
Tomorrow we'll be back in trouble again

Dream one, you had a whole lot of fun with a comedian
Stop short of going all the way, you'll have to make it someday

Why is this happening to you, you're not a child?
Why is this happening? You've too much on your mind
Things creep up on you when you are fast asleep
You are dreaming, you are sleepy
You are stuck to the sheets

In a town so small there's no escaping you
In a town so small there's no escape from view
In a town so small there's nothing left to do
Intellectual and perspiring
Dirty dream number two

Dream two you couldn't see her face, but you saw everything else
Dream two was pretty special, easily beats loving yourself

Could you put a name to someone elses sigh?
Could you put a face to someone elses eyes?
Is it someone that you'd maybe recognise?
But it all fades into morning when you open your eyes

It's been a bloody stupid day
My baby called me up to say
Don't call me love, don't call me
It's not all she said
I truly love her but I know
I'm bad for her, I'm bad and so
At least she may forgive me for my honesty
My friend came back from being abroad
He was rich and I was overawed
His ship came in
I'm standing on the harbour wall
Another friend, the one I love
Turns to me "Have you seen enough?"
"Let's hang about
There's nothing like a sunset"
It's been a bloody stupid day
Don't leave the light on baby
My baby called me up to say
Don't leave the light on baby
I'll see you sometime maybe
Don't leave the light on baby
It finally dawned on me tonight
Best to go down without a fight
I know you will forgive me for my honesty

Ease you're feet off in the sea
My darling it's the place to be
Take your shoes off curl your toes
And I will frame this moment in time
Troubles come and troubles go
The trouble that we've come to know
Will stay with us till we get old
Will stay with us till
somebody decides to go
Decides to go

Soberly without regret
make another sandwich
And I fill my face
know that things have got to you
But what can do
Suddenly without a warning
On a pale blue morning
You decide your time is wearing thin
A conscious choice to let yourself
go dangling
Hovering
It's an emergency
There's no more wait and see

Maybe if I shut my eves
Your trouble will be split between us
People come and people go
You're scouring everybodies face
For some small flicker of the truth
To what it is that
you are going through my boy
I left you dry
The signs were clear that you
were not going anywhere
Anywhere
Save for a falling down
Save for a falling down
Anywhere
Anywhere
Save for a falling down
Everything's going wrong

Later on as I walked home
The plough was showing and orion
I could see the house where you lived
I could see the house where you gave
All your time and sanity to people
Then you waited for the people
to acknowledge you
They spoke in turn
But their eyes would pass over you
Over you
Who's seeing you at all
Who's seeing You at all

Ease you're feet off in the sea
My darling it's the place to be
Take your shoes off curl your toes
And I will frame this moment in time
Troubles come and troubles go
The trouble that we've come to know
Will stay with us till we get old
Will stay with us till somebody decides to go
Decides to go

Soberly, without regret, 1 make another sandwich
And I fill my face, 1 know that things have got to you
But what can 1 do?
Suddenly, without a warning
On a pale blue morning
You decide your time is wearing thin
A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling
Hovering
It's an emergency
There's no more "wait and see"

Maybe if I shut my eves
Your trouble will be split between us
People come and people go
You're scouring everybodies face
For some small flicker of the truth

Monday morning wake up knowing that
you've got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect,
she says it's right out of the blue
Do you went to work in Debenham's,
because that's what they expect
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
And the head said that you always were
a queer one from the start
For careers you say you went to be
remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout
the school for being strange
Making life-size models of the
Velvet Underground in clay
In the queue for lunch they take the
piss, you've got no appetite And
the rumour is you never go with boys
and you are tight So they jab you
with a fork, you drop the tray and
go berserk While your cleaning up
the mess the teacher's looking up
your skirt You've been used, you're
confused Write a song, I'll sing
along Are you calm? Settle down Soon
you will know that you are sane
You're on top of the world again
Monday morning wake up knowing
that you've got to go to school
Mum said she had little choice
when she was young, so why should you?
Do you went to work in C&A, 'cause that's
what they expect Move to Ladieswear
and take a feel off Joe the Storeman
Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy
you never kissed She's got everything
to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with
a lisp She sticks up for you when
you get aggravation from the snobs 'Cause
you can't afford a blazer and you're
always wearing clogs At the interval
you lock yourself away inside a room
Heed of English gets you, asks
you, "What the Hell do you think
you're doing?" "Do you think you're
better then the other kids? Well
get outside." You've got permission,
but you've got to make the bastard
think he's right

I've been feeling down
I've been looking round the town
For somebody just like me
But the only ones I see
Are the dummies in the window
They spend their money on clothes
It saddens me to think
That the only ones I see are mannequins
Looking stupid, being used and being thin
And I don't know why I hang around with them
The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused
The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused
Than be me in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia
I've been feeling blue
And I don't know what to do
And I never get a thrill
And they threw me out of school
'Cause I swore at all the teachers
Because they never teach us
A thing I want to know
We do Chemistry, Biology and Maths
I want Poetry and Music and some laughs
And I don't think it's an awful lot to ask
So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go
So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go
Cause I'm here in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
Then I will change my name to Jones
If my family tree goes back to Napolean
Then I will change my name to Smith
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
Then I will change my name to Jones
If you're looking at me to be an accountant
Then you will look but you will never see
If you're looking at me to start having babies
Then you can wish because I'm not here to fool around
You can wish because I'm not here to fool around
You can wish because I'm not here to fool around

When the rich die last
Like the rabbits
Running from a lucky past
Full of shadow cunning
And the world lights up
For the final day
We will all be poor
Having had our say

Put a blanket up on the window pane
When the baby cries lullaby again
As the light goes out on the final day
For the people who never had a say

There is so much noise
There is too much heat
And the living floor
throws you off your feet
As the final day falls into the night
There is peace outside
in the narrow light

Ooh Get me away from here
I'm dying Play me
a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like
they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be
successful or be us
With our winning smiles and us
With our catchy tunes and us
Now we're photogenic
You know we don't stand a chance

oh I'll settle down
with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love
in everything and everyone
You're so naive
They always reach a sorry end
After a while they always get it
Still it was worth it as
I turned the pages solemnly and then
With a winning smile the boy
With naivet succeeds
At the final moment I cried
I always cry at endings

Oh that wasn't what
I mean to say at all
From where I'm sitting rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
This is no declaration
I just thought I'd
let you know goodbye
Said the hero in the story
It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you
cry with these words
cry with these words
cry with these words
cry with these words
Get me away I'm dying
Get me away I'm dying
Get me away I'm dying
Get me away I'm dying

Get me away I'm dying
Get me away I'm dying
Get me away I'm dying
Get me away I'm dying

oh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, and us
Now we're photogenic
You know, we don't stand a chance

Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
After a while they always get it
They always reach a sorry end
Still it was worth it as
I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration,
I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords

I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we
were getting on
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you
as if you're waiting for
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasn't very long
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we
were getting on
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you
as if you're waiting for
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while
I fought in a war, and I didn't know where it would end
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldn't really think
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
There's trouble plenty in this hour, this day
I can see hope I can see light
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we
were getting on
And I bet you're making shells back home for a steady man to wear
Round his neck, well it won't hurt to think of you
as if you're waiting for
This letter to arrive because I'll be here quite a while

Anthony walked to his death
because he thought
he'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house
then things would go
from bad to worse what could he do
He wants to remember
things exactly as
he left them on that Wednesday
And if there is
something else beyond
he isn't scared because
It's bound to be less
boring than today
It's bound to be less
boring than tomorrow

Hilary walked to her death
because she couldn't think
of anything to say
Everybody thought
that she was boring
so they never listened anyway
Nobody was really saying
anything of interest
she fell asleep
She was into S&M
and bible studies
Not everyone's cup of tea
she would admit to me
Her cup of tea
she would admit to no one
Her cup of tea
she would admit to me
Oh cup of tea
she would admit to no one

Hilary went to the Catholic Church
because she wanted information
The vicar or whatever
took her to one side
and gave her confirmation
Saint Theresa's calling her
the church up on the hill
is looking lovely
But it doesn't interest
the only things she wants to know is
How and why and when and
where to go
How and why and when and
where to follow
How and why and when and
where to go
How and why and when and
where to follow
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to
take away the pain
of being a hopeless unbeliever

When she got back her spirituality
was thrown into confusion
So she got a special deal on renting
From the man at Rediffusion
Look at me I'm on TV
It makes up for the short comings
of being poor
Now I'm in a million pieces
picked up for deliberation
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to
take away the pain

Go off and see a minister
Chances are you'll
probably feel better
If you stayed and
played with yourse

Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?
He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that Wednesday
And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because
It's bound to be less boring than today
It's bound to be less boring than tomorrow

Hilary walked to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say
Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway
Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep
She was into S&M and bible studies
Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Her cup of tea, she would admit to me
Oh but her cup of tea, she would admit to no one

Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information
The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation
Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely
But it doesn't interest, the only things she wants to know is
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow

But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister

Is it wicked not to care
when they say that you're mistaken
Thinking hopes and lots of dreams
that aren't there
Is it wicked not to care
when you've wasted many hours
Talking endlessly to anyone
that's there
I know the truth awaits me
But still I hesitate because of fear
Skipping tickets making rhymes
Is that all that you believe in
Wearing rags to make you pretty
by design
Rusting armour for effect
It's not fun to watch the rust grow
For it will all be over
when you're dead

Counting acts and clutching thoughts
By the river where the moss grows
Over rocks the water running
all the time
Is it wicked when you smile
Even though you feel like crying
Even though you
could be sick at any time
But if there was a sequel
Would you love me as an equal
Would you love me till I'm dead

If there was a sequel
Would you love me like an equal
Would you love me till
I'm dead
and if there was a sequel
Would you love me as an equal
Would you love me till I'm dead
Or is there someone else instead

Is it wicked not to care when they say that you're mistaken
Thinking hopes and lots of dreams that aren't there?
Is it wicked not to care when you've wasted many hours
Talking endlessly to anyone that's there?

I know the truth awaits me
But still I hesitate because of fear

Skipping tickets making rhymes
Is that all that you believe in?
Wearing rags to make you pretty by design

He had stroke at the age of 24
It could have been a brilliant career
Painting lines in a school that was too well known
Painting lines with a friend that had gone before
She challenged everyone to a fight
But the prefects all backed down
And they ran her out of town
Cause she drank and swore and spoke
Out of turn, she was the village joke

She had a stroke at the age of 24
It could have been a brilliant career
Getting clients to finance her strategies
Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday
She wears the clothes of an emperor
But her paintings are a sham
And they're going for a grand
When the dealers come to view
Do they ever see the real you?

He had a stroke at the age of 24
It could have been a brilliant career
Selling lies the boys with the old Dansettes
Pulling the wool, playing the fol, it's no wonder that
He is dribbling spit tonight
And the one he sent away
Was the only one who stayed
With a spoon and a decent book
And you can tell by the way she looks
She is sorry and resigned
As he wets himself for the final time

Judy wrote the saddest song
She showed it to a boy in school today
Judy, where did you go wrong?
You used to make me smile when I was down
Judy was a teenage rebel
She did it with a boy when she was young
She gave herself to books and learning
She gave herself to being number one
Judy, I don't know you if you're gonna show me everything
Judy, I don't know you if you're gonna show me everything

Judy got a book at school
She went under the cover with her torch
She fell asleep till it was morning
She dreamt about the girl who stole a horse
Judy never felt so good except when she was sleeping
Judy never felt so good except when she was sleeping

Judy, let's go for a walk
We can kiss and whatever you want
But you will be disappointed
You will asleep with ants in your pants
Judy, you're just trying to find and keep the dream of horses
And the song she wrote was Judy and the Dream of Horses
Dream of Horses You dream of horses

The best looking boys are taken
The best looking boys are staying inside
So Judy, where does that leave you?
Walking the street from morning to night
With a star upon your shoulder
lighting up the path that you walk
With a parrot on your shoulder,
saying everything when you talk
If you're ever feeling blue
Then write another song about your dream of horses
Write a song about your dream of horses
Call it Judy And The Dream Of Horses
Call it Judy And The Dream Of Horses
You dream of horses

Working the village shop
Putting a poster up
Dreaming of anything
Dreaming of the time
when you are free from all the trouble you're in

In the mud, on your knees
Trying hard not to please
Anyone, all the time
Being a rebel's fine
But you go all the way to being brutal

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boys jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You will have a boy tonight
Or maybe you will have a girl tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while you were licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free in Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You are sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

Lisa's kissing men like a long walk home
When the music stops
Take a tip from me, don't go through the park
When you're on your own, it's a long walk home

If they follow you
Don't look back
Like Dylan in the movies
On your own
If they follow you
It's not your money that they're after boy it's you

Pure easy listening, settle down
On the pillow soft when they've all gone home
You can concentrate on the ones you love
You can concentrate, hey, now they've gone

If they follow you
Don't look back
Like Dylan in the movies
On your own
If they follow you
It's not your money that they're after boy it's you

Yeah you're worth the trouble and you're worth the pain
And you're worth the worry, I would do the same
If we all went back to another time
I will love you over
I will love you

If they follow you
Don't look back
Like Dylan in the movies
On your own
If they follow you
Tenderly you turn the light off in your room
