Belle & Sebastian - Jonathan David Lyrics

Ah! I saw this video in MTV when I was young.

1:08 O_O !!!!!

Is the dude with dark hair in the band? He's the same kid in the "Wrong Girl" video.

This is pretty terrible vocally and musically.

Idk, dude. I think it's pretty shitty to dump on stuff, on their actual video. Only time I ever remember doing that was to Miley Cyrus. And even that I felt bad for and stopped. But, that said, I wasn't crazy about this one either. They have a LOT of stuff. Try "The Boy With The Arab Strap." If you don't dig that one, yeah, B&S just ain't your cup of tea.

@Advanced Raymondology I like them, just this isn't good.

@dirkbogarde44 yeah, and sorry to get all preachy. I kind of agree with you, though. Not one of their better ones. Peace.

I really like this song!

Gary Brooker on piano... hahaha!!!

Stevie is the fucking king

Amo, conheci nos anos 2000 na mtv brasil

@Christian são muito bons, sensibilidade impar

Vi esse clipe em um programa na cultura sábado a noite no anos 2000, nunca mais saiu essa música da minha memória

I feel really bad for the big guy in the video

Wonderful

Heard this when I was 16 now I'm 31 time flies still dig it though

this video makes me laugh out loud

Carmen Pieraccini 👌

Se que te gusta...
Pues a mi también...
Pero ella de ti...
No es como si a la guerra fuéramos...
Pero el mundo es así...
Hay asientos vacíos tras de mi
Soy el Jonathan de tu David
Sigues rey...
Pensaba que ella...
Vendría y yo escaparía de aquí...
Creí que le gustaba pero no...
Se que no quieres que sea así...
Por mi está bien...(ESTÁ BIEN)
No es que nos separasen...
O no tratemos el amor...
Y ella te va (A SONREÍR)
Te tocara (TE TOCARÁ)
Se amarán, no queda de más...
Un día me pasará...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Se que te gusta...
Pues a mi también...
Pero ella de ti...
No es como si a la guerra fuéramos...
Pero el mundo es así...
Hay asientos vacíos tras de mi
Soy el Jonathan de tu David
Sigues rey...
Ideas de amor encontradas...
¿Que hemos sido en verdad?
No queda opción, del juego te saldrás...
Todo lo que fuiste huyo...
Quiero que entiendas...(ENTIENDAS)
No es que nos separasen...
O no tratemos el amor...
Y ella te va (A SONREÍR)
Te tocara (TE TOCARÁ)
Se amarán, no queda de más..
Todos dicen....
que "No cambiaré"
"No cambiaré"
Pero debo...
Tu y ella en la tienda
compran gacetas...
Se casarán, y juntos se irán...
Y juntos se irán...

I know you like her
Well I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to War
There are worse things in the world
There's still room on my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still King
Well, I'd thought about her
I dreamed she'd come, I'd make my escape
I thought she liked me but somehow I was wrong
I know you don't want it this way
But it's O.K.
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love there's no other way
And I will make it some day
I know you like her
Well I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I 'm being sent off to War
There are worse things in the world
There's still room on my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still King
Visions of love recollected
Have we ever been true?
I know that I have, it's time for you to go
It's all int he stones that you throw
I want you to know
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love there's no other way
People say that
"We'll never change"
"We'll never change"
But I have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be Married and you'll be gone
Married and you'll be gone

I MUST have those curtains! :-)

Piano!!!

Great song. It really sounds like The Kinks.

Hugo Calazans Omg you're right! I think it's the KEYBOARD!!

I think this is my favourite video tape to a song ever.

I've literally been listening to this my whole life. It brings back so many good memories with my dad <3

this song followed me for a very long time across the world

jules et jim

Story of my life. I knew it when i first heard this song 15 years ago, and it came true. She's married and i'm a loser.

You just made me laugh so hard. Me too man.

The Knack and How To Get it?

Yup. Richard Lester,1965

Que mal que jahn sebastian empas descanse se ahido

There is a resemblance to "Don't Stop Me Now" from Queen.

great to hear this again for the first time in years!

One of the greatest pop songs ever writen!
That intro piano riff is just so melodically twisted you got to love it.
And the lyrics as well as the video is hilarious in spite of the rather sad theme.   

Just perfect.

This is exactly what pop ought to be!

 xD  so funny

Stevie in that tache looks a bit like Neil Innes playing Jason King

reminds me a lot of the film, julet et jim. that was probably what they were going for! :)

The first scene of the video is a copy of the scene from The Knack and How to Get It.

looking for that song up than 10 years

I've finally found the B&S videoclips!
