Lazy Jane - Belle & Sebastian

BBC SESSIONS

Working the village shop
Putting a poster up
Dreaming of anything
Dreaming of the time when you are free from all the trouble you're in

In the mud, on your knees
Trying hard not to please
Anyone, all the time
Being a rebel's fine
But you go all the way to being brutal

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boys jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the last bus out of town
On the last bus out of town

You will have a boy tonight
Or maybe you will have a girl tonight
And you hope that they will see
And you hope that they will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your folks
About a dose of thrush you got while you were licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free in Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You are sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

As much as I enjoyed Monica Queen's voice on the original "Lazy Line Painter Jane", I really prefer this version. The pace is much more stable and the whole song is just easier to listen to ( with the exception of the ear-splitting guitar solo at 4:20 )

@MiraculousTechnique Totalmente de acuerdo, ojala puedas escuchar la misma canción en Spotify, suena woooooooow mil veces mejor, la version con Monica Queen no me gusta :/ ( y no me gusta xq primero escuché esta version)

[markemoon2]

it's the wobbly pacing of the original that gives it most of it's charm, as with a lot of B+S songs, the songs seem to become more emphatic as they continue (Dog On Wheels from that French radio broadcast is a great example). There is no substitute for Monica's voice. It's what the Beautiful South would have sounded like had they been more into cardigans instead of being smug and annoying. my favourite songs change day by day, but this is always in the top 5... stunning songsmanship...

A think the one with monica queen in it is better although this is still good :)
