Compared to the disco-influenced sounds of the other songs on Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, “Ever Had a Little Faith” is very much a return to the traditional Belle and Sebastian sound.
According to Stuart Murdoch, the song was a older one — “old school B&S, quite velvety” — and they played...
With your headphones on
Through the drizzled pane
Of a wet slate roof
Sun will turn to rain
Why are you the one?
Couldn't take the pain
Something good'll happen
Wait and see
Something good'll happen
Wait and see
Do you spend your day
Second guessing fate?
Looking for a way
To live so divine
Drop your sad pretence
You'll be doing fine
You will flourish like a row in June
You will flourish like a row in June
Ever had a little faith?
Ever had a little faith?
Morning came
The hope rose up in your heart, girl
You felt ashamed
When morning came
Roll away the stone of doubt, girl
If you're calm then listen out for
A quiet voice, a sign from the window
Passion beating on your brow
You wish it were, you wish it was now
Past the sound of driving traffic
Past the madman's drunken attic
You climb the stair
It's dark and it's draughty
The smell of incense drawing you
Sky of light imploring you to

Looked up and down
She must have missed him
If she could only find him
She would throw her arms around
And kiss him tenderly
She would give herself on bended knee
Never thinking if it's wrong or right
Courage sister there's a little light
Ever had a little faith?
Ever had a little faith?
Who can you trust?
Trust the little man
Whispers in the trees
And the river can
Speak the calming verse
From the age of brave
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing
Something good will come from nothing

I started this song ages ago, the only ‘archive’ song on the LP. I stumbled over it a jotter from 1995 or so, and the tune came back to me immediately with every little twist and turn intact.
I didn’t have to change much, I added the last verse. I remember the feeling of writing it, and that’s the...
