Is There A Better Song About Being Closeted?




Belle & Sebastian - "Seeing Other People"

We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
'Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
There's a hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive
And you just want to cuddle
Then we should be okay
And we won't get in a muddle
We're seeing other people
At least that's what we say we are doing

So, how are you feeling?
I don't think you could be dealing
With the situation very well
You take a lover for a dirty weekend
That's okay
When it's over
You are looking at the working week
Through the eyes of a gigolo

You're kissing your elbow
You're kissing your reflection
And you can't understand
Why all the other boys are going
For the new, tall, elegant rich kids
You can bet it is a bitch, kid
But if they don't see the quality
Then it is apparent
That you're gonna have to change
Or you're gonna have to go with girls
You'd be better off
At least they know where to put it

We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
'Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
There's a hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive
And you just want to cuddle
Then we should be okay
And we won't get in a muddle
We're seeing other people
At least that's what we say we are doing
