1.Belle & Sebastian
I left the school I left my job
You saw me looking like a slob
When I was young you were the only fun in town
Everyone thought it was a shame
For belle and the boy sebastian
Belle was ok but oh sebastian
Went too far again
Crashed his car in the rain
He wants to love and he wants to care
But when the boys are queuing up to tell her she's a star
Poor sebastian is heading for a fall
Everyone thought it was a shame
For belle and the boy sebastian
Everyone thought it was a shame
Belle was ok but oh sebastian
Went too far again
Crashed his car in the rain
Oh sebastian wrote his diary that
He would never be young again
But you will
Fellow, you are ill
You'd better take a weight off of your mind and listen
To what other people say
Cause things are going wrong your own way
2.Dog On Wheels
When I was a boy I was confounded by you
Now I'm still a boy I am indebted to you
Every song I ever wrote was written for you
Written for you
Now I'm feeling flat you seem mile away
I'm so tired that down on the pavement I'll lay
Till the blossom on the tree comes falling on me
Fall on me
From my window I can see the mountains in snow
From my window I will shut my eyes and let go
Promise me you'll always be around when I call
And when I fall
On the river bridge up on the wall, looking down
On the river bridge, to me a vision was shown
If I could hold on to things till I was full grown
Peace would I know
To my dog on wheels I'll tell my pleasures and woes
To my dog on wheels I'll tell my secrets and more
Then one day in spring I'll take him down to the road
Anything goes
3.Jonathan David
I know you like her
Well I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There's still room on my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king
Well, I'd thought about her
I dreamed she'd come, I'd make my escape
I thought she liked me but somehow I was wrong
I know you don't want it this way
But it's OK
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love there's no other way
And I will make it some day
I know you like her
Well I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There's still room on my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king
Visions of love recollected
Have we ever been true?
I know that I have, it's time for you to go
It's all in the stones that you throw
I want you to know
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love there's no other way
People say that
'We'll never change'
'We'll never change'
But I have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be married and you'll be gone
Married and you'll be gone
4.String Bean Jean
I got my fingers dirty at the school of rock
Yeah I got my fingers dirty so I took a walk
I went up to the country park and hung around till
After dark
Till the girls got home
Till the girls got home
Did I tell you 'bout the one i know, she's on the rag
She spent the summer day inside her sleeping bag
Yeah she spent the summer day inside until it's time
To go to work
And she works all night
Yeah, the girl's alright
The girls have got a house that's like a caravan
And it's like your holidays whenever you go round
And we always have a laugh and then we all get in
The bath
To save on the lacky bill
Me & jo & phil'
I had to leave them in the morning
I left the keys around the way
I had to go to work
I had to leave them in the morning
I left the keys down in the caf'
I had to catch a bus
And when jo was short of cash i had to give her some
But I didn't really mind cause i was fit for once
So we paid the lacky bill and got the shopping and
We still had
Some for the cinema
So we all went out
She asked me 'do I need to lose a bit of weight?'
And I said 'oh, don't be stupid 'cause you're
Looking great'
And I call her string bean jean because the label on
Her jeans says
Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small
Seven to eight years old - that's pretty small
Seven to eight years old - that's pretty small
Seven to eight years old
