My body is telling me to go back to bed RP playlist is telling me to go back to bed Maybe I should go back to bed

I love this song.

there are so many other awesome belle and sebastian songs out there, why do i keep hearing only this song?

Well it really is a nice dismal rainy English sort of song, about a dismal rainy coal smudgy English sort of place. Not bad if you're in the mood... and if you (sigh) understand that (sigh) sort of thing... kind at the other end of the spectrum from "That's Entertainment."

King's Cross. (Russian rules - train stations are wild)

eclectic...not catatonic still, its not that bad....i guess

god...i just love this.

Is there a factory somewhere producing this whiny, breathy, mopey music, and then sticking different labels on it like this group, Iron and Wine, Sufjan S, etc? It all sounds so tediously alike.

Just gone from 3 to 2. A 1 is not long in coming if this keeps getting played so often.

yechhh.... and it's sooo long!

a slow song from a fun band. i enjoy it personally.

Song just about reflects Mornington Cresent. Has anybody been there? I have and it is dismal and boring...much like this song really.

And here I was thinking, "This is the worst Kinks song I have ever heard"

Another day, and this song is on again, and it still sucks. WHAT is good about this?!

They just suck. At everything. Godawful. Rank amateurs.

Bravo! I just love this song. And the guitar solo is great!

One of the stand-out tracks from the Life Pursuit...more in line with B&S's golden age. A sad and wistful tune that captures the laidback, hip vibe of that area (home to Koko...). Perfect for 4:38 on a Monday.

I thought it was kind of meh the first few times I heard it, but it's growing on me.

Love the music... not crazy about the voice...

This band is so versitile, I'm lovin them!

hmmm... still not gettin' it. how 'bout some Arab Strap?

Nice Piano, drums and voice. Soft sound ... hum very relaxing

The singer's voice is making me ill.

Great chill song.

Sounds like a toned down Ray Davies..

Listened to this CD several times at work today on Rhapsody. It's pretty good - this isn't close to the best song on it, though.

sounds like he's channeling Nico here.

Bumped from a 3 to a 4 on this listen.

I saw the title of this song and hoped it would be a tribute to the legendary game on BBC Radio 4's 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'. I was wrong.

Instead of skipping blithely down the hall, this one just clomps along heavily in its ill-fitting army boots. (That's the image I get)
