Piazza New York Catcher (Belle and Sebastian cover)

Another of my favourites. By not having english as a my native language, I found parts of the lyrics hard to sing with proper accent, so bare with me.

Elope with me Miss Private and well sail around the world
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
Oh elope with me in private and well set something ablaze
A trail for the devil to erase
San Franciscos calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
We hung about the stadium, weve got no place to stay
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
About the saddest book you ever read
It always makes you cry
The statues crying too and well he may.

I love you Ive a drowning grip on your adoring face
I love you my responsibility has found a place
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Come wave upon me from the family why not that's absurd
Youll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job
Maybe, but not what she deserves
Elope with me Miss Private and well drink ourselves awake
Well taste the coffee houses and award certificates
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960's style
Well comment on the decor and well help the passer by
And at dusk when work is over well continue the debate
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
He knows the drink affects his speed hes praying for
a doorway
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Life outside the diamond is a wrench
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
I know it wouldnt come to love, my heroine pretend
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
Youd settle for an epitaph like Walk Away, Renee
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
a flower
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Meet you at the statue in an hour

I've always wondered how would Belle & Sebastian sound if they were Scandinavian... no, I'm just kidding. There's a whole story how I got here and what I think about your cover, but YouTube doesn't allow me to tell long stories. Anyway. B&S is one of my top favourite bands and I'm mean and critical, so I could hate your cover. But I like it a lot. And the accent adds to it in a positive way - it makes it interesting. Who are you, stranger? Do you sing in any band?

@Madaee Thanks a lot and thanks for finding you way here (although I´m curious about the "story" :)I really consider myself a mediocer singer/guitarplayer and just play for fun (that´s why comments of your kind feels so greats :). I use to play in some bands in Uppsala (one of the biggest student-town in Sweden) my nowadays I just play and record my own songs whenever i feel like.

and yeah, Im just a normal swedish boy that loves music and science :)

[BeautifulLosersMusic]

@spartankiwi09 Oh, thank you!

[SophieNeveudancer]

you aren't bad at all, ok english might sound diferent, but it sounds good, else, what matters is the music ¿right? and that you did great!!!

[BeautifulLosersMusic]

@SophieNeveudancer Thanks a lot, that warms. B&S lyrics can be a pain in the ass to get right for a non-english-speaking person to sing
