What is Belle And Sebastian?
1.
Quite literally the greatest thing to come out of Scotland since Balamory. Or possibly Burns. A band that is both thoughtful and entertaining (which doesn't happen often).
Anthony, bullied at school
Get your own back now you are cool
Or are you scared bunking off though you're a toff
It's all gone wrong again, you've got Double Maths
But the teachers got no control
The boys all run riot
"You all stay quiet or you will die"
Tony, at the back of the gym
Smoke another one, your chances are slim,
'Cause here they come again
And they got you on the ground
tasting blood again
At least it's your own
When will you realize it doesn't pay
To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys
"So Shut your mouth, start kicking the football"
Bang on the teeth you are off for a week, boy
(From 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress')

2.
A twee pop band out of Scotland. Their name is taken from a British TV series of the same name about a boy (Sebastian) and his dog (Belle).
The Cardigans, The Lucksmiths, and Belle & Sebastian make beautiful indiepop music.
