Belle & Sebastian - A Century Of Fakers Lyrics

this band used to be great.

Geez guys get a room!! Lol. Its all good. X

I watched mute, horrified and dumbstruck as my generation turned into another century of fakers.

<33333333333

I've always thought they sound like Donovan, without a sense of humor

Maravilha...

song and lyrics perfec!!!!! <3

sta me unisti, sta me spasi...

They were amazingly consistent - twenty years of excellence before the last album

All is equal in love and war and I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do.

Brazil love's Belle and Sebastian!!!

There are people going hungry far away
They've got nothing on their plates
And you're filling your fat face
With every different kind of cake
If you ever go lardy, or go lame
I will drop you straight away
Oh that's the chance you're gonna take
For every stupid thing you say
There are people going lonely, and they'll stay
Lonely far into the year
Cause you're making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably you'll say,
"All is equal in love and war"
And I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do
And you pretend to read a book
You'll never finish till the day
That the author dedicated
To a century of fakers
They took your mold and they burned it
On the fire in history today
Yeah the author dedicated
To a century of fakers
He was an anarchist
He tried…

wearing some khaki Birkenstock at the grocery stores' window, so Chic.

Innocence. Not even Belle and Sebastian can keep it. Forgive my melancholy.

This fucking sucks. Just go listen to the smiths.

There are people going hungry far away
They've got nothing on their plates
And you're filling your fat face
With every different kind of cake

If you ever go lardy, or go lame
I will drop you straight away
Oh that's the chance you're gonna take
For every stupid thing you say

There are people going lonely, and they'll stay
Lonely far into the year
Cause you're making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably you'll say,

"All is equal in love and war"
And I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do
And you pretend to read a book
You'll never finish till the day

That the author dedicated
To a century of fakers
They took your mold and they burned it
On the fire in history today

Yeah the author dedicated
To a century of fakers
He was an anarchist
He tried his best but it wasn't good enough

La la la la la

Did I say I would see you soon? Well I'm sorry
But I just came off my bike
And my face is scarred
And chance has barred me seeing you tonight

I was over the other side of the city
And if the truth be known I'd say
That you look great from there
Before you shaved your golden hair today

Everybody's trying to make us
Another century of fakers
They took you mold and burned it
On the fire of history today

Everybody's trying to make us
Another cool decade of fakers

And everybody's trying to make us
Another century of fakers
Everybody's trying to make us
Another century of fakers

Thanks so much for the upload, the video as much as the track; a real gem of bygone.

i crave love and affection so much it hurts

La remera de Marr y Morrissey

It would be nice if there were more videos they made in the late 90s...are there?

There are a handful out there

This is the song that made me fall in love with Belle and Sebastian, nearly 20 years ago. I still remember the moment I saw it on No Disco, the one hourly show on Irish television that came on just before midnight once a week that was dedicated to non-pop music on TV.

Since then my life has changed in a hundred ways. I lost touch with my college friends, I grew closer to my childhood friends, my Dad passed away and in four week I'll marry the woman who, six years ago, I fell in love with.

Every step of the way, Belle and Sebastian have been the soundtrack to my life. When things were going great and I was dancing, it was Lazy Line Painter Jane, Electronic Renaissance an Party Line. When it was tough it was We Rule the School, Slow Graffiti and Read the Blessed Pages and in between it was - and is - everything they do.

I saw them at Electric Picnic last September and they were absolutely amazing, I'm raging I missed out on tickets for the Royal Albert Hall, but I'll see them again and I know that when I do, they'll be what they always are - heart-stoppingly great.

Belle and Sebastian forever.

Belle and Sebastian is making a believer out of me. There are several tunes that sound really good.  A century of fakers and dress up in you are my favorites.  I think your on to something Murdock; I feel a little of the 60s in you; in other words, brillant.  Oh, the girl at the 55 second mark, I mistook her for louise wener of sleeper.

lol creeper... xxoo love u too silly man

Faker, Faker play Maker

"Did I say I would see you soon,
Well I'm sorry
But I just came off my bike,
And my face is scarred,
And chance has barred
Me seeing you tonight."

That bites to the core. Facing up to your insufficiencies, right? Beautiful.

Can you explain this to me please?

De soin <<<<<<<<<

Kurt loves this song more than R.E.M or the group that keep posting his face when he doesn't want to look at his face anymore! 

+Benur Radio Who's Kurt?

Ian Kurtis.

And you Belle, don't go around saying you love me and all that bias because I have my records as well and I love listening to them, yes, I understand what's to listen your own records you can basically play them on repeat for years but just because they are yours so you don't really love me you just love listening your records and now that Merekel listen them, even more.

So don't come at me saying you love me and all that...

The dude sloppily making out with a chic 3 mins in is wearing a cool Smiths Shirt! I want it!

I'll sell you mine mate-50 bucks to you dude.

my best beautiful song

Why people don't want to see other people being happy???

off point, sorry other people!

When it hits that 3.10 mark oh my word

Very cool video

What happened to Isobel Campbell?

@Charles Black
She went solo a while ago
, like 12 years ago

Because you're making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably you'll say
"All is equal in love and war" and
"I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do"
And you pretend to read a book you'll never finish till the day
That the author dedicates it
To A Century Of Fakers

... I just love it (:

É o videoclipe mais bonito de todos. 

+Dodô Fonseca Não diria o mais, mas tá nas cabeças, fera!
