[00:00.00]Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue
[00:16.18]Look at the kid from school
[00:19.65]He’s teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
[00:23.71]He’s changing fashion, the way he dress
[00:28.25]The tracksuits are old, and the hoody’s way too moody
[00:31.93]For a kid with the will to funk
[00:34.28]He dances in secret; he’s a part-time punk
[00:40.41]She’s getting off the plane
[00:43.78]She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged
[00:48.27]The kids fighting up the lane
[00:51.94]Shop lifting, just drifting
[00:54.09]Like The Switchblade And The Cross
[00:55.87]But if there’s trouble she’s got the moves
[00:58.37]She’s taking an elementary class in Kung fu
[01:04.47]I left my washing in the launderette
[01:08.26]You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
[01:11.90]That when I see my washing
[01:14.45]The black will be grey and the white will be grey
[01:17.88]But the blues are still blue
[01:22.51]I’m crying out for my mum
[01:26.17]If the malady don’t go away we’re in a little trouble
[01:30.11]With the boss of the company
[01:34.33]I’m a singer, a swinger I’m a layabout but laying on
[01:38.39]The dock in the lazy sun
[01:40.48]Will never quite relegate me to a bum
[01:46.52]I left my lady in the launderette
[01:50.26]You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
[01:53.86]That when I see my lady
[01:56.51]The black will be white and the white will be black
[01:59.86]But The Blues Are Still Blue
[02:25.95]Baby, I love your face
[02:30.13]I’ve been creeping round this town because…
[02:32.35]Well, creeping’s just my way
[02:33.91]But with a little wink I’ll be there
[02:37.91]I’ll be excited for a week,
[02:39.72]but then excitement starts to fade
[02:41.95]I know your young, but you’re out of touch
[02:44.39]You’re French, your vocabulary’s not quite formed
[02:50.45]I left my homework in the launderette
[02:53.96]I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate
[02:57.89]I hid behind the fence
[02:59.86]Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog
[03:04.20]He’s not making much sense
[03:08.36]I left my lady in the launderette
[03:11.83]You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
[03:15.80]That when I see my lady
[03:18.40]The black will be white and the white will be black
[03:21.80]But the blues are still blue…
[03:26.40]I left my lady in the launderette
[03:30.05]You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
[03:33.59]That when I see my lady
[03:36.31]The black will be white and the white will be black
[03:39.71]But the blues are still blue…
