Long Black Scarf - Belle & Sebastian

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 streetlight 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
