Write About Love
Crafting Love through the Pen: Belle and Sebastian's Poetic Spell
Lyrics
I know a spell
I possess a special ability
That would you make help
That would assist you
Write about love, it could be in any tense, but it must make sense
Encouraging the act of writing about love, with flexibility in tense, but it should be coherent
I know a trick
I know a technique
Forget that you are sick
Forget about your illness
Write about love, it could be in any form, hand it to me in the morning
Encouraging the act of writing about love, with flexibility in form, and a request to hand it over in the morning
I hate my job, I'm working way too much (every day I'm stuck in an office)
Expressing dissatisfaction with the speaker's job, working excessively every day in an office
At one o'clock, I take my lunch up on the roof
Taking a break at one o'clock for lunch on the roof
The city's spread below, I'll write about a man
Describing the city view below and planning to write about an intellectual and attractive man
He's intellectual and he's hot, but he understands
Portraying the man as both intellectual and attractive with an understanding nature
The seconds move on (if you watch the clock)
Highlighting the passage of time if one watches the clock
And the sky grows dark (if you're looking up)
Noting the darkening sky when looking up
But the girls move from thrill to thrill on the tightrope walk (on the tightrope walk)
Depicting the girls moving from one exciting experience to another on a metaphorical tightrope walk
I hate my job, I'm working way too much (every day I'm stuck in an office)
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the job, stuck in the office every day
At one o'clock, I take my lunch up on the roof
Repeating the break at one o'clock for lunch on the roof
The city's spread below, I'll write about a man
Reiterating the plan to write about an intellectual and attractive man with understanding
He's intellectual and he's hot, but he understands
Emphasizing the man's intellectual and attractive qualities
I know a way (so you know the way)
Introducing another way or solution
Get on your skinny knees and pray (maybe not today)
Suggesting a form of prayer, possibly metaphorical, involving getting on one's knees
You've got to see the dream through the windows and the trees of your living room (of your living room)
Encouraging a visionary perspective, seeing dreams through windows and trees in the living room
You've got to see the dream through the windows and the trees of your living room
Repeating the idea of seeing dreams through the windows and trees of the living room
