Belle And Sebastian - Shoot the Sexual Athlete lyrics

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 'Cause I'm a fan of The Go-Betweens A fan of Robert, and I always have been But I like Grant, now 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 bu*ton 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 & 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 quisitive eye Before singing such romances That only the sods trampled underfoot by Thatcher Could appreciate their love Could appreciate their love
