ANOTHER SUNNY DAY
Belle and Sebastian Lyrics

Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden
On a bright day, we first encountered in the garden

You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon
You were gardening and I found you attractive, excuse my forwardness

I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border
I captured an image of you among the garden's flowers and plants

It broke the heart of men and flowers and girls and trees
Your beauty was so strong that it affected all living things around you

Another rainy day, we're trapped inside with a train set
On a gloomy day, we were stuck indoors playing with a toy train

Chocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we met
We had hot chocolate and the warmth of the room caused the windows to condense

You've got the attic window looking out on the cathedral
Your attic window has a view of the nearby cathedral

And on a Sunday evening bells ring out in the dusk
On Sunday evenings, the bells of the cathedral ring at sunset

Another day in June, we'll pick eleven for football
In June, we will assemble a team of eleven for a game of soccer

We're playing for our lives the referee gives us fuck all
We are playing very seriously, but the referee is not making fair calls

I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines
I noticed you standing on the side of the field out of the corner of my eye

Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds
Your makeup is inviting me to do something memorable with you

Everybody's gone you picked me up for a long drive
Everyone else had left, but you chose to take me for a long drive

We take the tourist route the nights are light until midnight
We drive along the scenic route and the summer nights are still bright until midnight

We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula
We rode aboard the ferry in the evening to travel to the nearby peninsula

We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill
We discovered a path of trees that led us to a hill

That crazy avenue of trees, I'm living there still
I am still living in my memories of that extraordinary path of trees

There's something in my eye a little midge so beguiling
There is a small insect in my eye that is very charming

Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye
The insect died while trying to bring us face to face

I heard the Eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dear
I heard a myth that the Eskimos clear things from their eyes by licking them

You missed my eye, I wonder why, I didn't complain
When you tried to remove the insect, you missed my eye, but I didn't say anything

You missed my eye, I wonder why, please do it again
You missed my eye again, and although I am uncertain why, I request you to try once more

'The lovin is a mess what happened to all of the feeling'
Our relationship has become complicated and lost its emotional spark

I thought it was for real; babies, rings and fools kneeling
I believed our love was genuine, with talk of marriage and starting a family

And words of pledging trust and lifetimes stretching forever
We made promises to each other, trusting that our love would last a lifetime

So what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apart
Our love story fell apart, and what we shared was not the reality we had pledged

Ghost figures of past, present, future haunting the heart
Memories from the past, the uncertainties of the present, and worries about the future linger in our hearts
