Lyrics:

Wake me up from drooling on my shoulder
To watch the Teignmouth waves go rolling by the window
Is it a glorious view unless you say so?
Unto the belly of a beast where we can lay low
I can see his rotten toothbrush in the bathroom mirror selfie
They say put him down, a sickly dog, but competition’s healthy
Coffee rings, a perfect circle, I appreciate the beauty
Do you still have that one tattoo?
That’s how it works, of course you do

It’s a psychic wound you can’t conceal
Closing, opening, never heals
It’s a cosmic cheque you never cashed
Curse the Universe for what you lack
I try to forget it, it comes back to me
Tied to the pulse of the sea

Broke down blubbing at the pharmacy, begging the doc to dispense to me
It once was ours but now it’s mine, these things get better over time
Love life living as a stalking horse, guinea-pig-headed I’m a martyr of course
If you’re not the one that’s leaving, you’re the one that’s left behind
You can buy your hopes and dreams now, at the affiliate link
Selling back the solidarity they got given as a gift
They’re calling themselves artists, while they’re lapping up the paint they’ve spilt
Exist with Jester’s privilege, secular girls with Catholic guilt

Follow Los Campesinos!:

[ameliamadison]

Followed LC since their first EP and its been so lovely to see them grow and change over the years and come back into my life as a band on my iPod in highschool, to a band on my spotify Playlists in my adulthood.

[orLEAnders]

I'm listening to you for decades now and your music accompanied me through many stages in my life! I was so glad to see you live once at the Live at Leeds Festival. I recently made a major change to my life moving to the other side of the country and listening to new music of yours is like getting back in contact with an old friend! Much love and keep on rocking! ❤
