Belle and Sebastian - Seeing Other People (1996)

From the album If You're Feeling Sinister in 1996



We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
A hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle
Then we should be ok, and we wont get into trouble
Cause were seeing other people
At least thats what we say we are doing

How are you feeling?
I dont think you can be dealing
With the situation very well
You take a lover for a dirty weekend, thats ok
But when its over
You are looking at the working week in the eyes of a gigolo

Youre kissing your elbow
Youre kissing your reflection
And you cant understand why all the other boys are going for the
New, tall, elegant rich kids
Ill admit it is a bitch, kid
But if they dont see the quality then it is apparent that
Youre going to have to change
Or youre going to have to go with girls
You might be better off
At least they know what theyre doing

We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
A hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle
Then we should be ok, and we wont get into trouble
Cause were seeing other people
At least thats what we say we are doing
