Like many of Belle and Sebastian’s songs, Le Pastie de la Bourgeoise centers around an awkward, bookish protagonist (in this case, a teenage girl) with a bad case of wanderlust.
Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew
You'd stay home, oh if only I'd let you
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver
And your friends are all serious ravers
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
Reading Judy Blume
But you came too soon
You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend
They run and hide
From your buck teeth and split ends
Don't be scared, by the books you've read
You're the heroine
Oh, you'll be doing fine
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Bestowing the memory of good and evil
On the ones you left behind
Heartless swine
And you love like nobody around you
How you love, and a halo surrounds you
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
In the autumn cool
Say cheerio to school
Listen dear, I've been watching you lately
And if I said all these things you would hate me
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
At the church bazaar
I think I went too far
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms
And open fields of eucalyptus
Westward bound
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Give yourself up to the allure of
Catcher In The Rye
The future's swathed in stars and stripes
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms
And open fields of eucalyptus
Westward bound
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Give yourself up to the allure of
Catcher In The Rye
The future's swathed in stars and stripes
