Belle and Sebastian Long Black Scarf song lyrics

It came my way on a lonesome day

The long black scarf took my possession

Valentino's own, passed down from the throne

With powers to use with discretion

Through hallowed hall

Through street light stroll

Through winter snow, the scarf's a flying

He can feel salvation coming around, this time he knows it exists

The instant cool, the sexual appeal of a handsome romantic that no girl could resist

Around my neck I slowly felt

The noose of innocence, it was tightening

You got all that you thought you wanted and now there's ice in your heart

You kissed the girls, you notched them up, you said goodbye, you figured it out, you learned the game, you're not the same. Icy drift, a solar eclipse Who can tell your story?

Long black scarf, put it on

Bound for Love,

Bound for Glory
