Belle & Sebastian

Belle and Sebastian are an indie pop band formed in Glasgow in January 1996. Belle and Sebastian are often compared with acts such as The Smiths,Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. The name Belle & Sebastian comes from Belle et Sébastien, a 1965 children's book by French writer Cécile Aubry, later adapted for television and an anime. Though consistently lauded by critics, Belle & Sebastian's "wistful pop" has enjoyed only limited commercial success. more »

Here we are just trying to be flatmates
Here we are just trying to sophisticate
Be an adult, trying not to fall in love
Be a human, trying not to stand up

Here we are just trying to be neighbors
You in bed, me still with the painters
Smoking at the window, at the magpies
Trying to work out what's the truth and what's the lie

I'm not saying that we will be best friends
But I took you dancing at the weekend
Tell your folks in bed you had to play
I'll try to make you feel like the kids are playing pretend

I'm not saying that we can't be running mates
You run too fast for me, I try to keep the pace
What I lack in speed I make up for in the way I move my hips
And the way the sun comes out when I move my lips

So you won't want to miss
All the shapes that can make
It's a choice you want to take

Here we are just trying to be
Oh, here we are just trying not to
Fall in love
It's only human not to want to be alone

Here we are just trying to be
Oh, here we are just trying not to
Get too close

Come on rant to me
I'll be your lock and fold
Tell me all your dirt
I'll never tell a soul
Tell me over steam and mac 'n cheese
Hold the tray above your knees
We can listen to the radio

I'm not saying I will kick you downright
Stick with me and oh we end up bein' like
There are other ways to feel you out
I can look into your soul
I can feed you all the love

I've been savin' up
Oh, and don't let me run
I'm a-digging my way in
I just like the game you're playing

Here we are just trying to be
Oh, here we are just trying not to
Fall in love
It's only human not to want to be alone

Here we are just trying to be
Oh, here we are just trying not to
Get too close

I'm not saying that we can't be dreamers
Here we are just trying to be neighbors
We can lie awake and watch the sky
Forget the truth, forget the lie
For the moment you're my best friend
