Belle And Sebastian Shoot The Sexual Athlete Lyrics

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



Because I'm a fan of the Go-Betweens

A fan of Robert and I always have been

But I like Grant, not 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 button badges

And I had too much time on my hands

I colored them by hand

Pere Ubu and the Sugarcubes



Kids came in to watch me

But Pete and 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 quizzative eye

Before singing such romances

That only The Sods trampled underfoot by Thatcher

Could appreciate their love, could appreciate their love
