I Didn't See It Coming by Belle and Seastian

Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms, I remember
We've been going transcontinental
Got no car, we just take a rental
But we don't have the money
(Money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms, I remember
Everybody's talking about you
Every word's a whisper without you
But we don't have the money
(Money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Trouble's never far away when you're around
I didn't see it coming
I'm just not in the running
Take me on a train because I'm not flying
I can see the world from a different side
Read about us in the morning papers
When we make it alive
I didn't see it coming
I'm just not in the running
And we don't need a lifetime
We're following the right line

Nic Harcourt used to play belle and Sebastian all the time before he was fired from KCRW. I never really got into this kind of music but I don’t hate it. This video is pretty well done but there is too much busy color for my taste. But I’m sure there are people who love it. And money don’t actually make the world go round like it says in the song. The world goes round and round because there is no friction in space and according to neuton an object in motion stays in motion. Except apparently the world isn’t balanced perfectly so it wobbles and one day it will stop spinning. And we will die

I think Belle & Sebastian have to be theater/dance folk that do music on the side

There's an entire interpretive dance concert for every one of their albums

I admit I would probably check it out, too - if only for the memory

Some of the shows I've seen have been doozies, but fun to remember

I also think B&S have a hint of the B-52's

So if the world is wobbling and will eventually stop spinning, instead of dying

~What if we're trapped in its inception?

Or we wake up from it on an entirely different planet

Or Bruce Willis was a ghost the whole time

Wait, in Die Hard? Now that explains a friggin lot.
