Los Campesinos!
Los Campesinos!
Los Campesinos!

Los Campesinos!
Los Campesinos!

Los Campesinos!
This song is about like how older generations expect so much from youths, and they expect them to do what they have failed at. This puts a lot of stress on the kids and they are being forced to go into the things they don’t have passion for.
[Intro: Gareth, Tom, Neil & Ollie, Aleks, Ellen & Harriet, Los Campesinos!]
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Gareth, Aleks, Los Campesinos!]
Any more tears for the birthing pool?
Bear this child directly into misery
Kiss him in the face with no lips and no tongue
But with your little, middle, index and ring fingers
Singing, "I see songs in shapes and colours (So let's move [?])
Not nuclear physics or pottery ovens (All day, the [?] boys and DJs)
Fluid lines that soar like towers (Everybody go get down tonight)
Patterns reformed just like child actors" (Do what you like)
[Pre-Chorus: Gareth]
Plunge your hand, rip out my spine
Replace it with a UV light
So I can be the beacon of hope that you'd always expected
[Chorus: Aleks]
These constant broken heartbeats sound like breakbeats
Looping round and round to me
You know he's so much more like Spiderman
Than you will ever, ever be
[Verse 2: Gareth, Aleks, Gareth & Aleks]
So stick with your instincts, stick with the imprints
With the hieroglyphics that the fan club sent us
And roll with the toppers, the slow steady choppers
Bat with your eyelids and lose it with your stutter
Go ba-ba-ba-la-ba-ba-ba-da-ba, ba-ba-ba-la-ba-ba-ba-da-ba, honey, hey! (So let's move [?], all day, the [?] boys and DJs)
I'm taking far too many chances (Everybody go get down tonight)
On these less than idealistic romances (Do what you like)
[Pre-Chorus: Gareth]
Plunge your hand, rip out my spine
Replace it with a UV light
So I can be the beacon of hope that you'd always expected
[Chorus: Aleks]
These constant broken heartbeats sound like breakbeats
Looping round and round to me
You know he's so much more like Spiderman
Than you will ever, ever be
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Aleks]
These constant broken heartbeats sound like breakbeats
Looping round and round to me
You know he's so much more like Spiderman
Than you will ever, ever be
