[00:00:02] The Boy With the Arab Strap - Belle and Sebastian (贝尔与塞贝斯蒂安)

[00:00:04] Written by：Belle/Sebastian

[00:00:21] A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time

[00:00:25] The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by

[00:00:35] Day upon day of this wandering gets you down

[00:00:38] Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town

[00:00:48] Hovering silence from you is a giveaway

[00:00:52] Squalor and smoke's not your style

[00:00:53] I don't like this place

[00:00:55] We better go

[00:01:02] Then I compare notes with your older sister

[00:01:05] I am a lazy gett she is as pure as the cold driven snow

[00:01:29] What did you learn from your time in the solitary

[00:01:32] Cell of your mind

[00:01:33] There was noises distractions from anything good

[00:01:39] And the old prison food

[00:01:43] Colour my life with the chaos of trouble

[00:01:46] 'Cause anything's better than posh isolation

[00:01:49] I missed the bus

[00:01:52] You were laid on your back

[00:01:54] With the boy with the arab strap

[00:02:01] With the boy from the arab strap

[00:02:56] Something to speak of the way you are feeling

[00:03:00] To crowds there assembled

[00:03:01] Do you ever feel you have gone too far

[00:03:10] Everyone suffers in silence a burden

[00:03:13] The man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton

[00:03:17] The Asian man

[00:03:19] With his love hate affair

[00:03:21] With his racist clientele

[00:03:30] A central location for you is a must

[00:03:33] As you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts

[00:03:43] We all know you are soft 'cause we've all seen you dancing

[00:03:46] We all know you are hard 'cause we all saw you drinking from noon

[00:03:50] Until noon again

[00:03:55] You're the boy with the filthy laugh

[00:04:01] You're the boy with the arab strap

[00:04:37] Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop

[00:04:41] Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches

[00:04:48] And sets off the smoke alarm

[00:04:51] What do you make of the cool set in London

[00:04:55] You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks

[00:05:01] She's a waitress and she's got style
