Dog on Wheels Lyrics
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 miles away
I'm so tired that down on the pavement I'll lay
Until 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 fall
And when I call
On the river bridge up, on the wall, looking down
On the river bridge up, to me a vision was shown
If I could hold onto things until 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
Now I'm still a boy, I am indebted to you
Every song I ever wrote was written for you
Written for you
I'm so tired that down on the pavement I'll lay
Until the blossom on the tree comes falling on me
Fall on me
From my window I will shut my eyes and let go
Promise me you'll always be around when I fall
And when I call
On the river bridge up, to me a vision was shown
If I could hold onto things until I was full grown
Peace would I know
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

If I didn't know who Belle and Sebastian were, and I heard this song, I would think they are from the 70s. It's a great song.
It kind of makes me feel like that if surf rock started in Glasgow, Scotland, this is what it would sound like.
'Every song I ever wrote was written for you...written for you.'
that bit is just too perfect.
This is a cool song I think it's about a young man that is feeling a bit overwhelmed with being an "adult", and he was happier when he was younger and things were simpler. He realizes he needs to learn to adjust, but he wants his dog on wheels (or anything that helps comfort him) to always be there when he falls, or when he calls :) Later, he's actually talking to his dog on wheels and he brings it "down to the road", kinda making him seem a bit strange. Maybe it's suggesting that it's strange that this person dreads growing up, or that the average person would see it as strange. Maybe the song is praising people that are unique. Who knows? That's part of the beauty of this song though
This song is perfect!
From my window I can see the mountains in snow From my window I will shut my eyes and let go
My favorite part...
Could just be about that one person that you always come back to when times get rough.
