\nMusic From Tonight’s Episode<\/strong>
\nIn the Roswell episode “Meet The Dupes” Max and Liz’s awkward conversation in the Crashdown is backed by the melancholy sounds of Belle & Sebastian. On their fourth album, Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant, the Scottish septet (that means there are seven of them) doles out their particular brand of dreamy pop. Using strings, harpsichord and any other instrument they pick up to bolster their melodies, Belle & Sebastian combines old school sounds with odd and sometimes jarring lyrics for fun pop songs that tend to attract the intellectual crowd. Each song on the album, no matter the tone, is a nice little mass of subtle goodness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From jeepster.com:
\nHere are the words to “Don’t Leave The Light On Baby”:<\/p>\n

Don’t Leave The Light On Baby<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been a bloody stupid day
\nMy baby called me up to say
\nDon’t call me love, don’t call me
\nIt’s not all she said<\/p>\n

I truly love her but I know
\nI’m bad for her, I’m bad and so
\nAt least she may forgive me for my honesty<\/p>\n

My friend came back from being abroad
\nHe was rich and I was overawed
\nHis ship came in
\nI’m standing on the harbour wall<\/p>\n

Another friend, the one I love
\nTurns to me “Have you seen enough?”
\n“Let’s hang about
\nThere’s nothing like a sunset”<\/p>\n

It’s been a bloody stupid day
\nDon’t leave the light on baby
\nMy baby called me up to say
\nDon’t leave the light on baby
\nI’ll see you sometime maybe
\nDon’t leave the light on baby
\nIt finally dawned on me tonight
\nBest to go down without a fight
\nI know you will forgive me for my honesty<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
