a slow, slow death - los campesinos! lyrics

we felt a chill from the breeze move in from the east, london pat its own back
those with the means for the megaphone, will always provide us the soundtrack
i started to diarise the coming of flies when gloom is descending
so when it’s back round again i know it’s a false start and not an ending
some days i struggle to move in elephant shoes, unwilling commuter
anxiety in my chest, heart under duress taps out of sharpshooter
preoccupied now for days by nostalgia waves i hated the first time
a gambler’s fallacy the more i repeat i won’t be the punchline

you. on a lilo. are an island. of the pacific
and then me, me, me. i am face down. in a puddle. on the high street

i got your initials inside a heart tattoo
we two in vermillion, we two a lovers’ coup
i know little but i promise:
there’s a slow, slow death if you want it

in time will i have to lie these memories are mine, not in fact my father’s
a schoolboy hero replaced, domestic disgrace, a sad sack, a martyr
we here are common as dirt, three lions on our shirt, with high expectations
absolve this land of a queen who feasts while we wean a small hopeless nation
