Thanks to Ben for introducing me to Belle and Sebastian, and to John Peel, whose tribute album contains their track Lazy Line Painter Jane. Fabulous track culminating at 5:25 with a rapturous Hammond crescendo to beat all others, leaving only 22 seconds to bring us all back down to earth. Truly marvellous. Its two playings filled 11m 34s of my journey to work this morning. Apologies if my enjoyment of the track freaked out any of my fellow 87 bus passengers.

Monday morning wake up knowing that you've gotta go to school,
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue,
Do you want to work in Debenham's, 'cause that's what they expect,
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor...
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start,
For careers you say you wanna be remembered for your art,
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange,
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay.
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite,
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight,
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk....
While you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt.
Genius.

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your folks
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings
But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes
Likewise
