Belle & Sebastian – Sunday's Pretty Icons Lyrics 15 years ago
Ok, I have questions about this. I've only ever bought Belle and Sebastian on itunes, so I do not know if physical copies of the albums are accompanied with lyrics, but even if these are the lyrics supplied by the band they are not the lyrics that are sung in the song. Everywhere I've looked online for lyrics has something similar to what you have here, but...they just don't match up with the song.

Most of what you have here is accurate, but here is what am hearing differently:

"No hotel room that's warm enough
No rented room that's quiet"

**I swear there is a "d" sound after the word "rent". It does not sound like "rent to a"**

"The secret lies and loves of girls
The secret lies of boys
The story of the both of us
Too close to ever love"

**Again, this just sounds relatively clear to me. I've been forcing random friends to listen while reading the supplied lyrics and reading what I think they should be, and so far everyone has thought my edits were more accurate**

"Lunging (lunching???) and happening, counting of souls"

**I'm torn between "lunching" and "lunging". It could go either way. "counting" sounds awfully clear, though.**

Anyways, good job to whomever first transcribed the song. Most of it sounds accurate! At the moment, it is my favorite from the new album. Very beautiful music and lyrics that hard to unravel.
