Perfect Couples
I know some friends of mine
Think about them all the time
Why can’t my life be like that?
I’ve seen them in the park
Restauranting after dark
Working out on their yoga mats
Stars of the dancehall crowd
Married young, took their vows
Comfort in their boldness and their flair
Dab hands for all to see
Stroke of brush and poetry
His cut of cloth, the contours of her hair
Thank you for the invite tonight
Perfect snacklets, perfect drinks
I’m getting ideas from your interiors
Perfect apartment, perfect kids
Perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done?
Those perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done?
Don’t make me feel so good
Expect that stuff in Hollywood,
Not in my current milieu
Sexual tension at the fridge
He makes for the organic figs
Belmondo lips, dangling a cig
And she, just back from her hike
And to the gallery she might glide by
With a basket on a bike
They’ve got issues too
But what can you do?
Bad times, they’ll always see them through
(It always lurked in her mind)
Perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done? (In the back of her mind)
Perfect couples, they keep breaking up
What have I done? (It always lurked in his mind)
Those perfect couples are now breaking up
What have they done? (In the back of their minds)
Perfect couples, they keep breaking up
What have I done?
Never happy with my girl
Jealous of a different world
Suddenly the years slip away
What am I waiting for? (I see those perfect couples and I)
What makes me close the door?
I see those perfect couples (Why can’t I be like them?)
I admire the most
Finding fault with my heart (Its always been the same and then)
And always back to the start
What makes me get in the fray
then just throw it away
Yeah, I throw it away
Yes I throw it away (only to find)
Yes I throw it away (only to find)
Perfect couples are breaking up…
I am fascinated how the dance choreography works with the music.
I love the part where everyone is dancing! It's the climax!
Mesmerising... in my perfect world this would have been no. 1 for an entire summer.
this is haunting in a good way
Desde 1979 ...radio doble nueve, la radio rock en Lima. 🤘🏻
perfect couples are breaking up ☝🏼️☝🏼💃🏻💃🏻
Thank you for being a friend. Thank you for days spent in the church. You you will always be number one
the best music video I've ever seen !!!
A masterpiece
Great song for our times right now.
I can explain how happy I am to see this, it's absolutely wonderful.
listening to this while entering a big city is intense and surreal
Can't believe this video has only 500k views! Should have at least 10 million!
What a nice song!
I accidentally clicked on this video, but I'm glad I clicked because this is a catchy song
Crazy giraffen!
Oh that's just gorgeous.
It's a great song - but a big up to all the dancers - fabulous and well done for giving them full credit on here!
Where has this video been all my life?
Hipster heaven....
love this song
Flawless, absolutely flawless ;)
Drama class worldwide have a new job recreating this, congratulations!
A busy day in the Wes Anderson Universe
Actually
is a tribute to the work of Zbigniew Rybczynski: ua-cam.com/video/lo8O8lYDzIU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=auf23
Where's that?
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!
Great song. Love the music and the lyrics. The epidemic of our times, being unhappy for what we are not.
Just wait
The timing is perfect. Top notch. You guys are one of my favorite band. Love everything you put out.
Perfect
This is so neat.
Bravo! This was very entertaining
Stevie writes the good ones; full of good intentions he is.
He's the George Harrison of the group.
If you think about it, the marvel cinematic universe is this with superheroes and special effects. Infinity War and Endgame is when all of them are dancing at the same time.
First watched this video on one of their shows live in Melbourne. Blew my mind the different loops and the coordination in them. Awesome!
A guilty pleasure of mine
Not too shabby, guys! At first I had no idea what you were going for, but as it unfolded, I saw it. This must have been hell to choreograph and film! At least the camera guy had an easy job.
+kraorh I think there were "cuts" because the last girl went out the left door and appeared very fast on the right door. Because this, the video lost some points with me. Sorry. Until this point, I'd give 10/10.
+Bruno C. I don't think that's a bad thing.. they were kind of going for that.
I think that was the only cut, although I know what you mean. This was the backdrop for the song when they played it live.
that painting had me on edge
I can't believe I just watched all 8 minutes of this.... I didn't even hear the song I was too busy watching the people.
My new goal in life is to learn some of these sick dance moves xD
Cracking video!
this is so unlike typical belle and sebastian but its so goddamn good.
So Awesome!! ☺😊👍👌😉
Sounds like Madness!
so cool video clip! love this concept
Remember, a little, the powerful Talking Heads, Naked album. 🖤
This was mesmerizing
Watching this just takes me back to when I saw you all live and this was projected behind you. It was in Orlando at House of Blues. Such an amazing show!
What a great record!
This is so fantastic
i love this song and the video , i can watch it over and over
sleep clock around to

Hey! La versión extendida! Gracias a Radio Doble Nueve puedo disfrutar de esta buenísima canción. Una de las mejores en mi ranking personal del 2015.

Love it!
I love this video.
Great song. Great video. Y'al never cease to amaze me.
I'm just amazed the carpet cleaning thingy never fell over.

Classic buildup and breakdown with trippy looping. Complements the song perfectly.

This song is so true. You know what I want and how I have gotten it since 19??
Is it horrible that I sinister feeling to this day
Amazing video!
I loved the belle & sebastian mother! version
Nice colour scheme
This looping concept reminded me of Zbigniew Rybczynski's "Tango" and We Were Evergreen's "Daughters".
I came here just to see if someone said it about Tango
Zbigniew Rybczynski's "Tango" should be in the credits or even in the video's titles, as a tribute.
and green day "redundant" too
Thanks. I came here looking for that sample name
De las mejores d este 2015 perfect couples belle and sebastian

Everything must be perfect when broken and chewed
Why does this remind me of "Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared?"

Amazing song! Videoclip idea from "Tango" by Zbigniew Rybczynski

It is a very creative room, except for the walls and chairs.
A friend suggested I listen to them,very impressed,not sure what genre they are? must hear more

i remember this at primavera and it was 8 fucking minutes long and i just wanted it to end so they could play more if you're feeling sinister
Is this extended version available for download anywhere?
I make this question my own
[Verse 1]
I know some friends of mine
Think about them all the time
Why can't my life be like that?
I've seen them in the park
Restauranting after dark
Working out on their yoga mats
Stars of the young dance hall crowd
Married young, took their vows
Comfort in their boldness and their flair
Dab hands for all to see
Stroke of brush and poetry
His cut of cloth, the contours of her hair
[Pre-Chorus]
Thank you for the invite tonight
Perfect snacklets, perfect drinks
I'm getting ideas from your interiors
Perfect apartments, perfect kids
[Chorus]
Perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done?
Those perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done?
[Verse 2]
Don't make me feel so good
Expect that stuff in Hollywood
Not in my current milieu
Sexual tension at the fridge
He makes for the organic figs
Belmondo lips, dangling a cig
And she, just back from her hike
And to the gallery she might glide by
With a basket on her bike
[Pre-Chorus]
They've got issues too
But what can you do?
Bad times
They'll always see them through
[Chorus]
(It always lurked in their mind)
Perfect couples are breaking up
What have they done?
(In the back of her mind)
Perfect couples, they keep breaking up
What have I done?
(It always lurked in his mind)
Those perfect couples
Are now breaking up
What have they done?
(In the back of their minds)
Perfect couples, they keep breaking up
What have I done?
[Verse 3]
Never happy with my girl
Jealous of a different world
Suddenly the years slip away
[Coda]
What am I waiting for?
(I see those perfect couples and I)
What makes me close the door?
I see those perfect couples
(Why can't I be like them?)
I admire the most
Finding fault with my heart
(It's always been the same and then)
And always back to the start
What makes me get in the fray
Then just throw it away
Yeah, I throw it away
Yes I throw it away (only to find)
Yes I throw it away (only to find)
Perfect couples are breaking up...
Thanks!! 😊❤
this reminds me of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.
The way people keep coming in reminds me of that one Harry Potter Puppet Pals :p
