Belfast, 1998, cassette version, headphones, 5 minutes of pure clarity and heaven. Mind was at peace, no cares in the world, dancing away, so happy and sad at the same time. Still remember those moments to this day.

Played a free gig one summer in botanical gardens one evening, 5000 drunk people bopping in the sun to this song...... Not often theres no trouble in glasgow at gatherings but the atmosphere was class! One of ma fave memories growing up

Saw them in Rome, Italy... Some stadium at the edge of town... It could hold 16000 people... We were around 400...i was invited to go dance on stage... I didn't... Didn't dare... Wish I had

Lyrics 🍀 A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by Day upon day of this wandering gets you down Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town Hovering silence from you is a giveaway Squalor and smoke's not your style "I don't like this place" We better go Then I compare notes with your older sister I am a lazy get, she is as pure as the cold driven snow What did you learn from your time in the solitary? Cell of your mind? There was noise, the distraction from anything good And the old prison food Colour my life with the chaos of trouble 'Cause anything's better than posh isolation I missed the bus You were laid on your back With the boy with the Arab strap With the boy from the Arab strap It's something to speak of the way you are feeling To crowds there assembled Do you have to feel you've gone too far? Everyone suffers in silence a burden The man who drives minicabs down in old Compton The Asian man With his love hate affair With his racist clientele A central location for you is a must As you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts We all know you are soft 'cause we've all seen you dancing We all know you're hard 'cause we all saw you drinking from noon Until noon again You're the boy with the filthy laugh You're the boy with the Arab strap Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches And sets off the smoke alarm What do you make of the cool set in London? You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks She's a waitress and she's got style Sunday bathtime could take a while

I'm happy that this song randomly played after my spotify playlist end, this song is my doorway to explore more of great songs that come from this great band. Belle and Sebastian's songs really help me to go through all the pain across final half of my campus life. Listening to their songs while doing tasks, coding, exams, etc, with a happy vibe.

I get this song stuck in my head constantly...Just as well I love it!

Teachers series brought me here. Thank you for uploading. Excellent track.

Loved and knew them before I watched 500 days of Summer, love them more after watching Summer! They are super underrated and they deserve all the fame in the world ❤

Best way I can explain this song is ..I looked at a picture for hours nothing really happened..I went back a week later stared at it and instantly felt magic..I think I call it artx

One of my particular favourites!

I just heard this for the first time on The Jo Whiley Show onth radio - what a fantastic tune - cheers Jo, your a true gem...

I’m here because I’m Scottish and so are Belle and Sebastian.........also this song means something to me. It is beautiful yet at the same time it holds sad memories for me. It reminds me of getting out of prison and finding my longtime girl, the mother of my child shagging my best mates little brother. I was remanded in custody the very same day for GBH. Back to the chaos and horrible prison food.

I, I, I, I Love this song. Alan Carr, the comedian mention this Artist and the song on the radio this morning. It got the airplay, as it was one of his favourite choices amongst a list of his other choices. I am so glad he did. This artist needs to get this song on TV. It's a smash, Funky, Banging, Joyful, and Joyous. Full of promise and truth. Also, it has that wicked production of instruments and piano chord progressions, drums, and percussion crashes which reminds me of good soul, funk, 60's Ska'ish tempo and rhythms. Arrrrrman, its getting bought to play in my vehicle.
