Belle & Sebastian - Write About Love

Belle & Sebastian - Write About Love (2010)

"I know a spell
That would you make help
Write about love, it could be in any tense, but it must make sense

I know a trick
Forget that you are sick
Write about love, it could be in any form, hand it to me in the morning

I hate my job, I'm working way too much (every day I'm stuck in an office)
At one o'clock, I take my lunch up on the roof
The city's right below, I'll ride upon a friend
He's intellectual and he's hot, but he understands

The seconds move on (if you watch the clock)
And the sky grows dark (if you're looking up)
And the girls move from thrill to thrill on the tightrope walk (on the tightrope walk)

I hate my job, I'm working way too much (every day I'm stuck in an office)
At one o'clock, I take my lunch up on the roof
The city's right below, I'll ride upon a friend
He's intellectual and he's hot, but he understands

I know a way (so you know the way)
Get on your skinny knees and pray (Maybe not today)
You've got to see the dream through the windows and the trees of your living room (of your living room)
You've got to see the dream through the windows and the trees of your living room"

I hear Belle and Sebastian. now shut up.

[Karina Siler]

I just read actress Carey Mulligan is singing this.

'I hate my job I'm working way too much'

OK I'll swap you my job for your job as a Hollywood film star. Is 'way too much' a British expression by the way?

[Agentcoconut1]

frankly a bit disappointed, coming from Belle & Seb...

[John Kord]

My cousin heard this for the first time on Muzak in Nordstrom Rack.

You're right and it's also "That would make you well" not "That would make you help".

[Alley Chick]

Friendzoning him

[ezeqyell]

gotta love Carey

[Emma Hickson]

Nice song. I think you have some of the lyrics wrong, though. I believe it's "I'll write about a man", rather than "I'll ride upon a friend".

"I'll ride upon a friend" doesn't really make any sense or fit what the singer says.

God, as if I couldn't love Carey Mulligan any more than I already do. Amazing. <3
