Cover art for Come On Sister lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

In my interpretation this song is on the perspective of a girl that envys the life that Stuart takes now, after sucess. She thinks of him "like a movie star" but in the same way remembers on what he "were" when they used to be friends and can´t realize how he is so important now.

All this comparison doesn´t let she sleep well. She wants to be like Stuart, with everyone around loving what she does: the boy in the corner, the postman, the policeman. It does him "no good".

But, on her daily routine she doesn´t like what she sees: Now I'm back on my beat/On the same greasy street.

In the end the second part of the song Stuart tries to get closer to the girl and understand why she feel that way.

So, that´s it! Let comment about this beautifull song on this beatifull new album!

My Interpretation

Sorry, " it does her no good"..
