It's actually "a clip-on tie" as opposed to a "kipper tie"

Belle & Sebastian – This Is Just a Modern Rock Song Lyrics	19 years ago
Is it just me, or is there a bit of lesbian subtext in this song? "She took Emma by the hand, they got a lot in common... I'll leave them to do what they will, I'll leave them to do what they need to"

Belle & Sebastian – Lazy Line Painter Jane Lyrics	19 years ago
I think the boy/girl interchanging bit sounds like she's a sexual free spirit. A lot of people are undecided in regards to orientation at that age, and experiment a bit.

Belle & Sebastian – Meat and Potatoes Lyrics	19 years ago
Stuart Murdoch really can be filthy, can't he? Seems like such a nice lad as well. It's about kinky sex going wrong. The second-to-last verse sounds a bit weary of everything going wrong to me, especially as it's suggesting steadily more ludicrous things to try between the sheets...

Camera Obscura – Number One Son Lyrics	19 years ago
I think this song is about a son who's sick of being so overlooked, so he's behaving badly for the attention (skipping school, dissing elders). And I think the girl might be trying to advise him ("God I've tried to help but I think I just hinder"), and threatening that she can fall in love with someone else ("love, unlike lightening, can strike you twice").
