Short declaration of happiness

Sometimes it really is a good idea to browse through records you haven't heard for some years. I had forgotten how happy Belle & Sebastian's The Boy with the Arab Strap can make me.

Even with not necessarily happy songs.

"Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop
Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches
And sets off the smoke alarm
What do you make of the cool set in London?
You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
She's a waitress and she's got style
Sunday bath time could take a while"
