Letters from Me to Charlotte (RSVP)

[Verse 1: Kim, Kim & Harriet]
She'd a bruise so black they watched it fade
Through the full spectrum of colours
They kept it like a pet, a private joke they told no others
And oh, how the tissue repaired, and how it turned to yellow
And she found it disgusting, 'cause it didn't match her clothing
He said that it's not yellow, it's golden

[Chorus: Kim & Harriet]
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

[Verse 2: Kim]
They promised they'd be best of friends from now until forever
But both were far too needy not to fall for the other
And how the frequent public displays of sisterly affection
Left her feeling safe, left him with an erection

[Chorus: Kim & Harriet]
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

[Verse 3: Gareth, Gareth & Kim]
Her body barely visible, as bleach-white as the bedsheets
As stiff as starched, only perceptible
As her middle was still branded with a heat rash
In the perfect shape of the Show-Me State
Your come-on lines sound disastrous
Noise more foreboding than volcano or earthquake

[Chorus: Gareth, Kim & Rob]
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

[Verse 4: Gareth, Gareth & Kim]
A letter from me to Charlotte
"They appropriated everything we ever loved
And dressed it up in quotations and fluff
And I had a dream, though said with hands in pocket
I mean it hand on heart, you held a gun to his head
Pressed your thumbs to her throat", in these letters
Letters from me to Charlotte

[Chorus: Los Campesinos!]
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

[Outro: Gareth]
This will never be the same
Things will never be the same again
