This is a beautiful track off Belle and Sebastian’s debut EP from 1997. (The EP is actually called Dog on Wheels). This may have been one of the first tracks that Belle and Sebastian ever recorded.
The major theme in this song is Stuart Murdoch’s experiences of being housebound with ME/CFS.

When I was a boy I was confounded by you
Now I'm still a boy I am indebted to you
Every song I ever wrote was written for you
Written for you
Now I'm feeling flat you seem a mile away
I'm so tired that down on the pavement I'll lay
Till the blossom of the tree comes falling on me
Fall on me
From my window I can see the mountain in snow
From my window I will shut my eyes and let go
Promise me you'll always be around when I fall
And when I call
On the river bridge up on the wall, looking down
On the river bridge, to me a vision was shown
If I could hold on to things till I was full grown
Peace would I know
To my dog on wheels I'll tell my pleasures and woes
To my dog on wheels I'll tell my secrets and more
Then one day in spring I'll take him down to the road
Anything goes
Dog on Wheels was written by Stuart Murdoch.
Belle and Sebastian released Dog on Wheels on Mon May 12 1997.
