Intentando mirar canciones: Dress up in you

Van a ser 3 meses y sigo escuchando diaramente , varias veces, The life pursuit de Belle and Sebastian. Encuentro agradablemente irónico que en algun momento el subtitulo de este blog era "un blog que no se dedica a escribir solamente sobre el último de belle and sebastian!" (o algo así), pero es inevitable. El disco es tremendo.
"Dress up in you" es por ahora mi tema favorito, quizas por ser el más melancólico y tranquilo, más similar a digamos, sus primeros discos. La letra me tiene totalmente obsesionado, intente escribir sobre ella muchas veces, pero no hay caso, no hay mucho que decir, solo que el narrador es borroso, a veces parece ser el mismo stuart murdoch, mientras que otras partes el narrador es claramente un personaje femenino. Sea cuan sea el narrador, el protagonista es claramente otra chica, actriz y vieja amiga, por la cual el cantante/narrador/whathever siente un típico amor/odio y envidia. Hay más cosas en las letras, el estallido de ira entendido racionalmente en el estribillo, y otras cosas más, pero mejor escuchen y lean.

I’m the singer, I’m the singer in the band
You’re the loser, I won’t dismiss you out of hand
Cos you’ve got a beautiful face
It will take you places

You kept running
You’ve got money, you’ve got fame
Every morning I see your picture from the train
Now you’re an actress!
So says your résumé
You’re made of card
You couldn’t act your way out of a paper bag

You got lucky, you ain’t talking to me now
Little Miss Plucky
Pluck your eyebrows for the crowd
Get on the airplane
You give me stomach pain
I wish that you were here
We would have had a lot to talk about

We had a deal there
We nearly signed it with our blood…
An understanding
I thought that you would keep your word
I’m disappointed
I’m aggravated
It’s a fault I have, I know
When things don’t go my way I have to

Blow up in the face of my rivals
I swear and I rant, I make quite an arrival
The men are surprised by the language
They act so discreet, they are hypocrites so fuck them too!

I always loved you
You always had a lot of style
I’d hate to see you on the pile
Of ‘nearly-made-it’ s
You’ve got the essence, dear
If I could have a second skin
I’d probably dress up in you

You’re a star now, I am fixing people’s nails
I’m knitting jumpers, I’m working after hours
I’ve got a boyfriend, I’ve got a feeling that he’s seeing someone else
He always had thing for you as well

Blow in the face of my rivals
I swear and I rant, I make quite an arrival
The men are surprised by the language
They act so discreet, they are hypocrites forget them
So fuck them too!
