"Billy Liar" is the debut single by the Decemberists. Deriving its title from the English novel and British New Wave film, Billy Liar , the song also references "No good Boyo" of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood and appears to generally talk about a young man's boredom during long summer days. Musically, it has an upbeat, somewhat piano-driven, rather poppy sound.

The single peaked at number 24 on the US Billboard charts in October 2004. [1]
