Belle and Sebastian Lyrics

Cover art for Belle and Sebastian lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

Stuart claims that he worte this song shortly before he met Isobel, and he used it as a line when he met her for the first time, so according to him it's not directly about him and isobel, but then he denies most songs are about her, even the ones that obviously appear to be!

Maybe it's a common chat up line he uses, "oh i just wrote a song about xxx", this one turned into a relationshipn so he had to actually go and write the song, it certainly seems to be very evocative of the early stuart and isobel stories. Who knows, what i do know is, it's a great song.
