Los Campesinos! – Heart Swells/Pacific Daylight Time Lyrics 17 years ago
Black holes
And unraised moles
Let's just call them freckles
Haircut
Heart left
Happy on the west coast
Coat fell
Heart swells
Draped across the sofa
Sleep well
I feel you've ruined me forever

I don't want to sound trite but you were perfect
The way you look could seriously make nature dysmorphic
I wish that you would kiss me 'til the point of paralysis
The way I flail my arms in front of you, it just embarrasses
I'll never turn my body clock back
And think about the things I'm glad I left out
Some things are best left unsaid.

Los Campesinos! – Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown #1 Lyrics 17 years ago
"A jealous ex silenced the room"

"She imagined everything I said in falsetto
The only way to justify my childish despair
I spent my last six fifty in a public phone box
Graffited genitalia from the ceiling to floor
Played the reckless, rapid like a fruit machine
I see gargoyles in the floral of the duvet cover
You see melodrama move from one sentence to the other
And many years practice of speaking in hushed tones"

Los Campesinos! – We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed Lyrics 17 years ago
"By the light of the LED display of the VCR recorder"

"With the glow of a thousand fireflies
In a travelodge en suite
Don't think the future's bright as halogen
We know it's pretty bleak
And I'm trying to be sexy
But I emit the air that falls in front of me."

Los Campesinos! – You! Me! Dancing! Lyrics 18 years ago
you've got so many of the lines wrong.
it should be
"it's you, it's me, and it's dancing"
and "if there's one thing, that i could never confess, it's that i can't dance a single step."
"it's sad that you think that we're all just scenesters, and even if we were it's not the scene you're thinking of."

but the bit at the end:
"and i always get confused
because in supermarkets they turn the lights off when they want you to leave, but in discos they turn them on,
and it's always sad to go, but it's never that sad,
because there's only certain places you're guaranteed of getting a hug when you go.
and on the way home, it seems like a good idea to go paddle in the fountain, and that's because it IS a good idea
and it's like we're all (...?...) man, and the state of nature
we're undeveloped, we're ignorant, we're stupid, but we're happy."

i don't think the song is about sex at all. it is surely just a simple tale of young people, going out, and the things that concern them on these nights out - other people, dancing, etc... 'twisted by design' is a club night in cardiff that the band used to go to.

this song is so good it makes my head melt.
