Perfection as a Hipster
God Help the Girl Lyrics
They never met, the singer and the swinger
She walked in, they walked around each other
Fighting for the mirror and smiling
She was awkward
I was tongue tied
She was goofy
And she aspired to perfection as a hipster
And she asked me
How should I wear my problem hair
She asked me
I blew it
I knew it
I always wonder how things could've been
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
Spend every second day just
dreaming how the first one ought to be
My dream was realised but I was sleeping
I was sleeping
I caught the girl, her eyelids started to flutter
And in my arms
She passed out cold, are you okay?
Just lie still you'll feel better
(What happened? I want to go home)
Feel better
(Where am I, what have I got on?)
Feel better
(You say that but how do you know?)
Feel better
(Who are you, what do you want?)
I always wonder how things could've been
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
Spend every second day just
dreaming how the first one ought to be
My dream was realised but I was sleeping
I was sleeping
I was sleeping
I was sleeping

The records released as part of the project include so far: the singles Come Monday Night, Funny Little Frog (2009) and Baby, You're Blind (2010), the main album of the project, also entitled God Help the Girl, and the EP Stills (both published in 2009). In 2011, Stuart Murdoch plans to start shooting a musical film, which will feature the songs published in the singles and albums.
The songs of the project God Help the Girl belong to the genre of indie pop and resemble the other output of Belle & Sebastian in tone – two songs (Funny Little Frog and Act of the Apostle) were taken directly from the earlier repertory of this group. However, contrary to the earlier work of Belle & Sebastian – a group dominated by male performers, female vocalists (who are not members of the group) play the main role in the project. The songs themselves also tell about the problems of young girls entering adult life.

They never met, the singer and the swinger
She walked in, they walked around each other
Fighting for the mirror and smiling
She was awkward
I was tongue tied
She was goofy
And she aspired to perfection as a hipster
And she asked me
How should I wear my problem hair
My dirty, no good problem hair?
She asked me
I blew it
I knew it
I always wonder how things could've been
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
Spend every second day just
dreaming how the first one ought to be
My dream was realised but I was sleeping
I was sleeping
I caught the girl, her eyelids started to flutter
And in my arms
She passed out cold, are you okay?
Just lie still you'll feel better

Spend every second day just

My dream was realised but I was sleeping
I was sleeping
I was sleeping
I was sleeping

This is where I first learned of Neil Hannon, actually. That I had not known of him before that was a crime, which I swiftly rectified by buying five Divine Comedy records.

Lo mejor de Belfast (Neil Hannon) meets lo mejor de Glasgow (Stuart Murdoch). Y que me perdonen Van Morrison y Roddy Frame (bue y Mark Knopfler ya que estamos).
