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

Family Tree, performed by Belle and Sebastian
key: A
Intro.: A
(A E G Bm)
I've been feeling down
I've been looking round the town
For somebody just like me
But the only ones i see
Are the dummies in the window
They spend their money on clothes
It saddens me to think
That the only ones I...
E F#m Bm E F#m Bm E
see are mannequins
looking stupid, being used and being thin
And i don't know why i hang around with them
(A Em G Bm) A F#m E Chorus
The way they act, i'd rather be fat than be confused
The way they act, i'd rather be fat than be confused
Than be me in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia
(A Bm C#m D)
(A E G Bm)
I've been feeling blue
And i don't know what to do
And i never get a thrill
And they threw me out of school
'cause i swore at all the teachers
Because they never teach us
A thing I want to know We do chemistry...
E F#m Bm E F#m Bm E
Biology and maths
I want poetry and music and some laughs
And i don't think it's an awful lot to ask
(A Em G Bm) A F#m E
So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go
So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go
Than be me in a cage
With a bottle of rage
And a family like the mafia
(A Bm C#m D)
(A Bm C#m D)
If my family tree goes back to the romans
Then i will change my name to jones
If my family tree goes back to napolean
Then i will change my name to smith
If my family tree goes back to the romans
Then i will change my name to jones
If you're looking at me to be an accountant
Then you will look but you will never see
If you're looking at me to start having babies
Then you can wish because i'm not here to fool...
(F#m Bm A D)
