For Flotsam

[Chorus: Gareth]
Knees knocking and
Blood flowing, so
I want you to know

[Verse 1: Gareth]
You say you are an old cassette that has gone and spilt its spool
You're far more like a wet cardboard tube on this nightclub toilet floor
As I describe my lonely, you listen very clear
The last set of goalposts taken down, summer of odd-numbered year

[Verse 2: Gareth, Gareth & Kim]
She says, "If you're unhappy, then you gotta find the cure"
I prescribe me one more beer, beyond that I am unsure
May not be be all and end all, in my defence, she is the hole
I've thrown my goalkeeper forward, she's catenaccio

[Pre-Chorus: Los Campesinos!]
Flotsam, Jetsam and Spindrift, all the girls I have loved
Dumped to earth by a spendthrift, gilt angels from above
And I saw God in the bathroom, I baptised him in sick
Embraced him around his cistern, "C'est la mort, enough of this"

[Chorus: Los Campesinos!]
Knees knocking and
Blood flowing, so
I want you to know that I want to

[Verse 3: Gareth, Gareth & Kim]
And later, she said something that stuck hard in my mind
"We are their Capel Celyn, they gotta keep their slippers dry
To empathise with Tories, to invite upon disease
A safer bet's to pack your bags, go holiday in Eyam"

[Pre-Chorus: Los Campesinos!]
I will take you where the sun shines, cast shadows on your face
Crawl into their deepest recess, 'til I freeze or dehydrate
We'll live and breathe it in real time, montage is for the dead
And my heart's still doing Fosburys, nowhere near finished yet

[Chorus: Los Campesinos!]
Knees knocking and
Blood flowing, so
I want you to know that I want to
Knees knocking and
Blood flowing, so
I want you to know that I want to
Knees knocking and
Blood flowing, so
I want you to know that I want to
I want you to know that I want to
I want you to know that I want to
