i heard there was a secret chord

that david played and it pleased the lord

but you don't really care for music, do you

well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth

the minor fall and the major lift

the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof

you saw her bathing on the roof

her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

she tied you to her kitchen chair

she broke your throne and she cut your hair

and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before

i've seen this room and i've walked this floor

i used to live alone before i knew you

i've seen your flag on the marble arch

but love is not a victory march

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know

what's really going on below

but now you never show that to me do you

but remember when i moved in you

and the holy dove was moving too

and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above

but all i've ever learned from love

was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

it's not a cry that you hear at night

it's not somebody who's seen the light

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

Belle and Sebastian, Glasvegas, Jesus and Mary Chain...

Can anyone recommend me some good Idlewild stuff, I remember from awhile ago songs like American English which I wasn't greatly impressed with but I've heard many good things about them without ever really getting into them. Will be very appreciated. Thanks.

but you don't really care for being sensible do you

well it goes like this, just type your shit

and then hit add reply don't highlight

and hit font size seven it's a minor inconvenience

and you'll be a major pain

the baffled forum members will think about you yeah

If you're looking for rock bands, Runrig and Big Country are two to look into.

Runrig are from the highlands and pretty much single handedly saved their language and culture from extinction in the seventies. They don't get commended enough for what they've done and the Scottish music press by and large give them hell, in spite of this they've had a few gold albums, and their finest, Once In A Lifetime is ranked in Allmusic.com's top 10 live albums of all time.

It's that good. Dance Called America That's the first track off it.

Run Rig are fecking amazing live.

As for Glasvegas. I must have missed the wankfest over them that the Scottish press gives.

They're just another band. Very meh.
