Belle & Sebastian song "You made me forget my dreams" from album Lazy Line Painter Jane
You made me forget my dreams
When I woke up to you sleeping
We had peace for a night at least
But the trouble starts today
This morning you'll say
"I'll see you sometime, maybe"
And I fall back to uneasy sleep
You made me forget my dreams
I was building a space rocket
With the boy who played bass guitar
With the boy who's wearing flares
He didn't care
He lit the fuse and ran for a mile
The space rocket went up in style
The space rocket went up in style
I'll lend you two hundred quid
For a flight across the ocean
Maybe things will look better there
Because they couldn't be much worse
Than tears and a curse
For men with guns, maturing in age
Will always pay a shitty wage
They'll always pay a shitty wage
You made me forget my dreams
When I woke up to you sleeping
There was blood on the sheets again
And the view outside the window
Of gardens in bloom
Obscured by all the trouble we had
I think I better make a move
I think I better make a move
I always liked the end because to me it was a fun little intro to Photo Jenny.

@CrispyRingo i bet they said to themselves "selves, let's end it with this because it'll make people get lulled into the false sense of security the subject matter would seem to elicit and then scare them with a huge nervous build-up at the end. that way it reflects what this is about!!" ....nah...no one would ever put that much thought into art.

wow, you're right, I never noticed that before. You're right, those last 15 seconds suck, but the rest of the song rocks. Should be a way to edit that out. Can't believe they put that annoying sound into such a soft, sweet song.

I love this. It reminds me a bit of Simon and Garfunkel. :D
But I fucking hate the last 15 seconds. I'm all calm and it comes out of the blue to scare the shit out of me. Does anyone know how I can edit it out, or give me a version with out it? Thanks.
