This song evokes an actual meeting between Belle and Sebastian and Seymour Stein, head of Sire Records, on the eve of the launch party for Tigermilk, the group’s debut album. The group hasn’t yet found success, and the glitz and glamour of Seymour Stein’s world is at odds with their working lives.

Seymour Stein, I've been lonely
Caught a glimpse of someone's face
It were mine and I'd been crying
Half a world away, ticket for a plane
Record company man
I won't be coming to dinner
My thoughts are far away
I'm working on that day
North country girl
I think she's going to stay
Promises of fame, promises of fortune
L.A. to New York
San Francisco back to Boston
Has he ever seen Dundee?
Won't he hire a limousine?
Seymour send her back to me
I heard dinner went well
You liked Chris's jacket
He reminded you of Johnny
Before he went electronic
Seymour Stein, sorry I missed you
Have a nice flight home
It's a good day for flying
