Belle & Sebastian - Shoot the Sexual Athlete текст песни

Now I'm in a band, people try to make me do things,
Kiss arses and pay tribute.
But I'm inclined today to do those things anyway.
And I don't care who hears it.

Because I'm a fan of the Go-Betweens,
A fan of Robert, and I always have been.
But I like Grant, not that I've met him,
Because he's charming.

Of all the stars, and all the would-be stars,
I'd take him home to my mum and dad.
Yeah, he's charming, but he's a trouble-maker, too.
He amuses me greatly.

I like Lindy, and I saw Vickers.
Pete stole the set list, and the itinerary.
He wrote my name down as "Tour Rent Boy".
It was hard, but so is life.

I was making button badges.
And I had too much time on my hands.
I coloured them by hand:
Pere Ubu and the Sugarcubes.

Kids came in to watch me,
But Pete and Sean just scorned,
Just like they scorned Robert.
But I secretly loved the big guy,
He dressed like Sherlock Holmes.

And he fixed us with a quizzative eye,
Before singing such romances
That only the sods trampled underfoot by Thatcher
Could appreciate their love.
Could appreciate their love.
