| Belle & Sebastian – The Boy with the Arab Strap Lyrics | 19 years ago |

"What did you learn from your time in the solitary Cell of your mind?" apart from the face value meaning could also mean someone really stupid -i.e. only having 1 brain cell. I think from the writer's perspective it's about his girlfriend sleeping with the guy from the other band - "laid on your back with the boy from the arab strap" I suppose when he says "with" instead of from he's insiuating the other guy has erectile dysfunction? The guy from B&S doesnt think much of this guy, see the lines/verse about being hard/soft (think penises again also) |

| Belle & Sebastian – The Blues Are Still Blue Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I really like the chorus; I left my lady in the launderette You can put some money on it You can place a little bet That when I see my lady The black will be white And the white will be black But the blues are still blue I like to think this is about how you can argue with a partner and you'll both swear black is white, or be adamant that some things happened in a completely different way, but you still feel crap - the blues are still blue |
