Lyrics:

From the other side of gender-neutral bathroom stall
“Of all the assholes in this town I hate him most of all”
Every vodka mixer in the club was not enough
Nowadays it’s Live Laugh Love and listen to Death From Above

Forward, morning after, cleanse your sins inside a dock dry bath tub
Between the hunt sabs, ACABs, sobbing, being sick
Hearing your name in the chorus left me prostrate in the pit

There is nothing here to set the scene
No notable geography, or pathetic fallacy
You’re the only thought in my head

Don’t get me wrong I love my friends’ kids, sure they’ll grow to be good leftists
Bet they’ll make their parents proud and make the best of what they’re left with
But they don’t buy the beers I drink, and they don’t drink the beers I buy
No children and no profession, walking dead at 37

Forward, morning after, naked if not for two blister plasters
She held a cold can of Summer Fruits between her warm thighs
Condensation glistens, sweat beads drip into my eyes
She’s turning me to God no joke
Mother, daughter, holy smoke!

Follow Los Campesinos!:

[jerichode]

This is probably my favourite song on the album

[nickyc]

yesterday the new album was released and last night I was driving to work with the album on blast. driving in the dead of night, with Los campesinos!, I was completely in awe. i remember looking at the night sky and realizing how bright and full the moon was. it was so big and shining beautifully.
and then it hit me. the new album with the full moon motif everywhere, on the CD and the posters and the merch. these bastards released all hell on a full moon. im ill.

[Nyxatroid]

One of the best comebacks. LC! Is so underrated

[NameRealperson]

_No children and no profession, walking dead at 37_

ngl, that one's going to leave a mark

[empac]

Oh man this is the perfect mix of new LC! With their older sound. Thank you Gareth and Campesinos for another great album. Fuckin’ eh.
