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:
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"...
"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.
There is no hole in which to hide There is no plane to catch No hotel room that's warm enough No rent to a room that's quiet
A friend I've known through six degrees Cools down to where I hide A friend I've known through dreams and prayers She comes back to my side
You're so far from wanting to talk You're so far from wanting to say something good Feel something good
The sea cries of loves of girls The sea cries of boys The storm, we are the both of us Too close to ever love
Whisky from the Island of Sund Whisky from the year you were born Tastes like kidnap and ransom and exile
Somebody asked me what hell was like Somebody asked me for help Somebody asked me what hell was like Lunging and happening, parting of souls
Every girl you ever admired Every boy you ever desired Every love you ever forgot Every person that you despised is forgiven
*Please note most importantly that Whisky must be spelled without an 'e' as this is a Scottish band, not an Irish one.
