Another good song about books: "Wrapped Up in Books" by Belle & Sebastian. Yay for books!

I'm so glad to see the Camera Obscura song on that mix. And yes, B&S have several great songs about books and characters. :)
Books About UFOs

<p>Somebody already beat me to X, but I don't think that we should forget "<a title=""Books About UFOs" by Hüsker Dü" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLKYngRjbQc" target="_blank">Books About UFOs</a>," Hüsker Dü's charming song about having a crush on the local nerd girl.</p>

not a title but A Design For Life by the Manic Street Preachers starts with "Libraries give us power". what a lyric!<br><br>
& I always thought the line "I never should have said the books that you read were all I loved you for" from Here's Where The Story Ends by the Sundays was pretty moving too.
