Belle & Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane Lyrics
Working the village shop
Putting a poster up
Dreaming of anything
Dreaming of the time when you are free from all the trouble you're in
In the mud, on your knees
Anyone, all the time
Being a rebel's fine
But you go all the way to being brutal
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town
Let's see your kit for games
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boys jumper
Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see
You will have a boy tonight
Or maybe you will have a girl tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see
You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while you were licking railings
But you read in a book
That you got free in Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes
Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You are sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

Lorraine Hosie. I miss you!
sus videos son films nadie hace videos asi <3
Belle and Sebastian were *my* band. I love music of all kinds but B&S really were the epitome of my Uni days, no one could reach me like they could. I listen to this song and it fills me with such emotion. I love it, but also feel sad for lost youth.
Killer song. Girl vocal is so good. Dolly Parton vibes
So goooood
como eu sinto saudade desse tempo!!! musica maravilhosa
Claps songs, makes me happy :D
Absolute biblical 💚🏴
This is so many problems solved with sound.
I almost thought that the female vocalist was Wanda Jackson. But, she’s too sweet. Lol. And, Wanda is the sonic equivalent of a well aged spiced rum.
who is Jane in this video?
Mariano Rajoy
Ah the late 90s. The era just before mobile phones became widespread. Such innocent times.
I am in the very lucky position of only discovering Belle & Sebastian, so I have a lot to listen to and a lot to learn, imagine my enjoyment of never having heard this band until 2019, what fucking joys I have ahead of me. Happy days
If you're feeling sinister is a joyous album... I hope you enjoy the journey
I discovered B&S in 2016 and now own every album and collection they've released haha. And I'm still enjoying them daily. They just have it all for me and I keep rotating which albums I listen to.
I knew a girl in the 90’s who lived round the corner from them in Glasgow when a bunch of them shared a house. There was a dog called Elvis. Her name was Astra. Good times. I’m 42 now and still a bit of 90’s clapping guitar boy.
PUTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Belle and Sebastian always reminds me of Summer. Or is it the other way around...?
Love BandS but I find her voice overly bombastic and irritating. I keep coming back to this one to see what the big deal is but just hate her voice. Too sugary and tacky fir me.
My absolute favourite belle and Sebastian song !
mesmo empesteada de comunistas, a MTV Brasil era nosso portal para o conhecimento
da música.
Bozominion afogado em ideologia até em música do B&S! PQP que mundo merda esse. Alias por essa sua afirmação você devia seguir as pessoas de mais bom gosto, tipo os comunistas da MTV! HAHAHAHA
Só asneiras dessa gentinha! “Comunistas da MTV”!!!!

Dreaming of the time
When you are free
From all the trouble you're in
In the mud, on your knees
Trying hard not to please
Anyone, all the time
Being a rebel's fine
But you go all the way
To being brutal
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town
So let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging styles for running miles
You're running miles in some boys jumper
Boo to the business world
You know a girl who's
Tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
You are working for the joy of giving
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the last bus out of town
On the last bus out of town
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a girl tonight
And you hope that they will see
In the hope that they will see
You are in two minds
Tossing a coin
To decide whether you should
Tell your folks
About a dose of thrush
You got when licking railings
But you read

There are lotions, there are potions
You can take

Yeah you hope that they will see ♪
Anyone else noticed that tha bass dude (I guess) sang boy instead of girl on the chorus? Time 4:24 ... One of the greatest songs ever writen...
This video still has FAR TOO FEW views. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't a copy of it was uploaded before 2012, but taken down/disappeared? Anyhow, I still love it as much now, as the very first time I heard/saw it, years ago. So thankful that I discovered B + S way back when.
Timeless. Endlessly timeless, is this song.
I have to say I am speechless! I never knew Belle and Sabastian were capable of this!
LOVE WILL BE FOREVER AND ALWAYS FOR ETERNITY!!!
Absolutamente maravilhosa
Fuck me, The Glasgow is tremendous.
A fine song....love it.
I suppose I am a lazy line painter
The super8 film footage of the band playing in the church looks like some amazing unearthed footage of a band from the 60s. Fantastic. Unbelievable song
was doing keyword research for a website about cosmetics and finally figured out that boots is a drug store in the UK after listening to this song for two decades. lol
Estou apaixonado por esta canção, alguém pode postar a letra aqui, por favor.
The live version at the outdoor festival is far superior but it has been taken down and I am outraged!
Love love love it!
Fucking. Glorious.
i remember listening to belle for the first time "is it wicked not to care " and thinking ...this is just brilliant !
beautiful music .
i dont know if it is just me are they talking about chlamydia lol...
I don't use the phrase best song ever often but I think that this song is the best song ever.
ashhh me encanta, pasan los años, me encanta
Ingenious idea, impressively visualized, musically exceptionally well implemented. Chapeau!
John Oliver at 4:20!
This is shit.
That tune is like a really good shower... always feel cleaner thereafter. Cheers, Selecta! Thanks for that.
Fantastic
As the brilliant enigmatic Jean Brody would say in her darkest,sumptuous Scottish brogue " The creme de la creme" !!!!!
CRAYEEM DAE LA CRAYEEM
uma das bandas que me trazem nostalgia de tempos que nunca vivi
I cannot hit like enough.
What is the name of the singing girl?
Monica Queen now with https://www.facebook.com/TenementandTemple/
Try to tell people what it was like in the nineties and they won't believe you!
One of the best songs .I remember. The velvet underground homenaje .The femenine voice .I'm in love whith she ."Monica Queen ." The real Queen
This song makes me remember the velvet underground
Bernardo Saez Fernandez It makes me remember Bruce Springsteen.
https://youtu.be/fMYRegDfUJ0
This song makes me remember the velvet underground too. "Sister Ray" also looks like this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53F5nY68cBM
Timeless classic.
Not enough Isobel.
The outro is euphoric
Jason Biggs that's a great description , and spot on !
20 years of hearing this song, and the way the moog goes from the high section to the last four bars... just kills me every time.
my
space
Some bands you get instantly, B+S were one of mine. Fabulous at every listen.
Isobel ♥
It's Monica Queen
Yes, the singer is Monica. I was referring to the girl who runs, ex member Isobel.
Oh sorry :-)
Beans is the funniest memeber! I love him!
I thought this had disappeared off youtubes listings !
So love this song, one of Belle and Sebs best efforts and the late key change sums up why they are up there with the great indie acts of this century.
stellaviolens hear hear
I agree with everything except there’s no key change
Well Jed whatever happens in the last 20 seconds it certainly works for me as it puts the brakes on after whats been some melodic ride by Belle and Sebastian.
essa música é fenomenal !!!!
Belle and Sebastian came around when I wasn't sure if I was going to find another band that I could just fall completely head over heels for. Bless you B&S.
Beautiful! Can't imagine never having heard this song. It can be about anything you want it be about..
Sublime ☺
My all-time favourite Belle & Sebastian song <3 !
Such a glorious noise they make when they let it all hang out
I have serious concerns for this country. How will people be able to have any inspiration when everything costs so much. The 90's were great.
All this great art is heartfelt.. Thank You Stuart and Company.
AND THAT'S HOW BELLE & SEBASTIAN WAS FORMED.
dearest albums in the shop.
there is nothing that could sway my opinion that this is, simply, the best song ever recorded
You are correct. This is the best song ever conceived by humanity.
one of the very best
Especially this exact version... it just has that 'thing' about it... its gloriously ragged and pure..
@Jessie i kust heard this last night, a bit late but its up there with the best songs ive ever heard man
Pavement reference?
@Ryan Ortega Nick Drake reference
This is my all time favourite song
so far
It's nice to see Sarah Martin playing the bass on this one. She's so cute.
Anyone got any ideas what camera might have been used to film this?
Looks Super-8 to me!
this is so good - can't believe i just heard this now - the thrush line kills me
But there are lotions and potions, didn't you read it in that book from Boots? :)
Brilliant isn't it. They are my favorite band for a reason. Cheers.
who was the idiot who put dislike this
Belle and Sebastian´s best song
My all-time favorite of theirs. Gives me the best tingles.
Please put attention!
Anyone put to dislike to it!
Belle & Sebastian's Best Song !!!
being that i think they are from Glasgow i am surprised i can understand what they are saying, because i was there a year ago and i could not understand a thing anyone was saying.
Dull day in my workshop , Then radio 6 played this track,,,,,Now its no so dull and i love it..,
Still one of my top favourite Belle and Sebastian tracks. Gives me goosebumps on every play. Love it.
