[00:00.00]This Is Just a Modern Rock Song - Belle & Sebastian
[00:10.69]Written by：Belle and Sebastian
[00:21.38]Emma tried to run away
[00:23.28]
[00:26.11]I followed her across the city
[00:29.05]
[00:31.18]She went out to the Easterhouse
[00:33.92]
[00:35.51]Because she liked the sound of it
[00:37.99]
[00:41.44]She didn't have a single penny
[00:44.58]
[00:46.68]She stuck a finger in the air
[00:49.46]
[00:51.60]She tried to flag down an aeroplane
[00:55.80]
[00:56.60]I suppose she needs a holiday
[00:59.32]
[01:02.28]I put my arm around her waist
[01:05.10]
[01:07.11]She put me on the ground with Judo
[01:10.83]
[01:12.54]She didn't recognise my face
[01:15.53]
[01:16.55]She wasn't even looking
[01:18.75]
[01:23.39]Laura's feeling just ideal
[01:26.03]
[01:27.79]Her horoscope was nearly perfect
[01:31.67]
[01:33.30]She's thinking of something to do
[01:36.25]
[01:37.63]Because she is The Birthday Girl
[01:40.56]
[01:43.83]She walked out to the edge of town
[01:46.37]
[01:48.81]She saw me lying in the park
[01:51.89]
[01:53.50]She took Emma by the hand
[01:56.70]
[01:57.92]They've got a lot in common
[01:59.95]
[02:04.21]I'll leave them to do what they want
[02:06.96]
[02:09.28]I'll leave them to do what they need to
[02:12.67]
[02:14.27]I'll go and play with words and pictures
[02:17.51]
[02:18.61]I'll admit I'm feeling strange
[02:21.08]
[04:05.38]I'm not as sad as Doestoevsky
[04:08.26]
[04:09.97]I'm not as clever as Mark Twain
[04:12.83]
[04:14.92]I'll only buy a book for the way it looks
[04:18.77]
[04:19.33]And then I stick it on the shelf again
[04:22.23]
[04:25.04]Now I could tell you what I'm thinking
[04:28.75]
[04:29.64]But it never seems to do you good
[04:32.53]
[04:34.89]It's beyond me what a girl can see
[04:38.59]
[04:39.18]I'm only lucid when I'm writing songs
[04:42.80]
[04:45.24]This is just a modern rock song
[04:47.80]
[04:50.02]This is just a sorry lament
[04:52.33]
[04:54.89]We're four boys in corduroys
[04:58.54]
[04:59.07]We're not terrific but we're competent
[05:02.52]
[05:04.79]Stevie's full of good intentions
[05:08.93]
[05:10.03]Richards into rock'n 'roll
[05:11.92]
[05:14.83]Stuart's staying in and he thinks it's a sin
[05:19.12]That he has to leave the house at all
[05:22.46]
[06:42.60]This is just a modern rock song
[06:45.37]
[06:47.41]This is just a tender affair
[06:50.19]
[06:52.09]I count three four and then we start to slow
[06:56.52]
[06:57.20]Because a song has got to stop somewhere
