The Eight Station Of The Cross Kebab House

by Belle And Sebastian

Biography:

Belle and Sebastian is a band from Glasgow. Led by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Murdoch, the seven-piece band has an intimate, majestic sound that is equal parts folk-rock and '60s pop. Murdoch has a gift not only for whimsy and surrealism, but also for odd, unsettling lyrical detail which keeps the songs grounded in a tangible reality.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Belle and Sebastian released their first two albums in 1996: Tigermilk, recorded over three days

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

note: chords are explanated in the end.

intro: Em

Em D#dim Em C#dim
I'm sitting around at the checkpoint
Em D#dim C#dim D#dim
Keeping myself to myself
Em D#dim Em C#dim
My heart's going out to the girl with the gun
Em D#dim C#dim D#dim
She is young, she is fun, she is dea-----dly

(note: the next G#dim goes from 14fret in the same position as the D#dim)

G#dim F#dim Edim F#dim Edim D#dim Edim C#dim
She clocks off, goes back to the ci-----ty
G#dim F#dim Edim F#dim Edim D#dim Em
Goes to a club with her friends

Bass:
A|-7-------------------|
E|---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7-|

(then next verse goes as first)

I just took a walk through the checkpoint
Past columns of poor Arab sons
They queue through the day for a chance to make pay
For something to put in their mouths

He can't sleep at night without gunfire
The lullaby puts him to sleep

Bass:
A|-7-------------------|
E|---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7-|

Solo: Am, G#dim, Em, Cdim
Am, G#dim, F#dim, G#dim

Am G#dim Am F#dim
We stand there accused of the British collusion
Am G#dim F#dim G#dim
Israel into Pales---ti--------ne
Am G#dim Em Cdim
A victory for some an astonishing hope
Am G#dim F#dim G#dim
But for him it has brought devasta-----tion
Cdim Bdim Adim Bdim Adim G#dim Adim F#dim
He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in ex----ile
Cdim Bdim Adim Bdim Adim G#dim Am
He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in hell

D C A#
Loves black and white in the blue vault of space
A#m Fm C
Swoop around like a symbol of peace
Gm Dm
Can they see the hawk?
F Cm
They're too busy in talk of love
D# C# A#
Why should they contemplate fear?

(and so the next goes quite as the first verse)

Everyone meets in the cramped city streets
Hipsters of Zion collide
To talk music and dross
At the sign of The Cross
Em D#dim Em
We eat our falafel in peace
Em D#dim Em
The girl lets her uniform slip
Em D#dim Em
The boy cracks a joke, he is sweet
Em D#dim C#dim D#dim
He listens to hip hop in Ga--------za
Em D#dim Em
She listens to Coldplay in Lod
