Belle & Sebastian - I want the world to stop

Belle and Sebastian are one of those 'fleeting' artists I only hear at very irregular intervals.

I had already worked out and posted chords for "If you're feeling Sinister" ( from the 1996 album of the same name, and "Step into my office, baby" from the 2003 album "Dear Catastrophe Waitress". I guess the Glaswegian band's quirky style doesn't sit that well with mainstream radio DJs.

I recently did hear "I want the world to stop" from their 2010 Album "Write about Love", worked out the chords and lyrics, and added them to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page, along with the previous two. Hmmm... just looking at the gaps in these posts, I guess you can expect the next Belle and Sebastian song from me sometime in 2018!!

The song has a fairly playable bunch of chords: Am, Dm, C, E, A, G, Em and F, has a great melody and some nice harmonies.

You can check out my version off "I want the world to stop" at the link below:

Belle & Sebastian - Step into my Office chords and lyrics

Although they've been around since 1996, I've only recently started listening to their music. I have so far only worked out the chords to "If you're feeling sinister" from the 1996 album of the same name ( it's on my rock guitar chords page )

Jumping forward to 2003, I have now also worked out playable chords and lyrics for "Step into my office, baby" from the "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" album. Once again it is a really upbeat, feelgood song to play. Quite a few chords and quirky in places, so early learners may struggle a bit, but if you like the song it's well worth persisting with, it's one of those impressive performance songs, if you can pull it off. My interpretation of the song is at the link below:

Belle & Sebastian - If you're feeling sinister chords

Belle and Sebastian are yet another great band who almost passed me by. A friend who is a big fan was berating me for not including any of their songs, so I've started listening to them, and really like the individual sound and creative lyrics.

I listened to their earlier stuff first, so I've worked out my interpretation of the title song from their 1996 album "If you're feeling Sinister" as the first B&S song on my site, PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics, at the link below:
