New Birds venía en un cede recopilatorio de la Melody Maker que compre en el Tower Records . Ibamos seguido al Tower Records a pasear y comprar revistas. Quien, de los que conocio el Tower no lo añora. La escuche y me impacto. Nunca supe lo que decía, pero igual me gustaba mucho. Según se lee por ahí las historias que Aidan Moffat recita/canta en las canciones de Arab Strap se basan es sus experiencias personales. Hasta las pinturas utilizadas en la portada y contraportada del Philophobia son obra de su novia y son retratos de ellos mismos. Es buena la historia.
You just have to be sure you're doing the right
thing. I mean it's very easy to forget - she's
just sitting there in the pub with her new friends
and her new life and her new hair, and it's been
five years but you'd know just to look at her. I
wasn't even sure it were her at first, I was ready
to walk away but she smiled and called me over and
we said hello for a bit. When we back to our
tables we were trying not to look over at each
other and told our firneds to stop staring. I
didn't see her for the rest of the night, but by
closing time the beer's kicked in so I go up and
speak to her and we end up talking about our new
homes, our new jobs and our new birds. She says
she's been going out with him now for about two
and a half years, but they don't live together so
he'd never find out. And you think about chasing
her about school when you were wee and lying in
your bed and listening to love songs and
pretending they were about you. And the first time
you asked her out she said no but one night you
went to a wedding and when you came back to the
pub she's changed her mind and you went out. You
remember the way she swung her arms when she held
your hand but you can't remember how she kissed
and now you've got the chance to find out. But you
have to remember there's this other kiss. She's at
home, wondering where you are and what you're
doing. And you work hard on this kiss and you know
it inside out, it's as much yours as it is
hers,And it took a long time to get right, it took
months of practice and months of embarassment but
now you've got it perfected and you've been
looking forward to that kiss all week. You can see
her breath in the air between your faces as you
stand in the leaves and she just asks you straight
out if you want to come and stay at her flat. But
you make sure you get separate taxis and you go
home and there might be a slight regret and you
might wonder what you missed but you have to
remember the kiss you worked so hard on - and
you'll know you've done the right thing
thing. I mean it's very easy to forget - she's
