referencing The Boy With The Arab Strap, CD, Album, JPRCD 003

It is my favorite album by Belle & Sebastian. It reminds me of the best of the Smiths. It is full of love and light! I love the song A Summer Wasting. It reminds me of the Smiths lyric: Warm summer days spent indoors, writing frightening verse to a girl in luxembourg, from the song, "Ask"

The Smiths "Ask"
Shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you
from doing the things in life that you'd like to

Ask me I won't say no-how could I?
Coyness is nice, but
Coyness can stop you
from saying all the things in life that you want to
So, if there's something that you'd like to try
Ask me-I won't say no-how could I?
Spending warm summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg
Ask me, ask me, ask me
Ask me, ask me, ask me
Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb
That will bring us together
