You! Me! Dancing! (Live At Islington Assembly Hall)

[Spoken Intro: Gareth]
Two more. This is a song about beer

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Gareth]
The beats, yeah, they were coming out the speakers
And were winding up straight in your sneakers
And I'm dancing like every song he spins Kenickie
Like all my dance heroes would if they exist
And yeah, it's sad but you think that we're all just scenesters
And even if we were, it's not the scene you're thinking of
Just taking props from '90s boy band fashions
All crop tops and testostеrone passion

[Pre-Chorus: Kim & Gareth]
If there's onе thing I could never confess
It's that I can't dance a single step

[Chorus: Gareth, Kim, Rob & Tom]
It's you, it's me, and there's dancing
It's you, it's me, and there's dancing

[Verse 2: Gareth]
Not sure if you mind if I dance with you
But I don't think right now you care about anything at all
And if only there were clothes on the floor
I'd feel for certain I was bedroom dancing
And it's all flailing limbs at the front line
Every single one of us Budweiser 'till we die
And dispatches from the back of my mind
Say, "So long as we're here, everything is alright"

[Pre-Chorus: Kim & Gareth]
If there's one thing I could never confess
It's that I can't dance a single step

[Chorus: Gareth, Kim, Rob & Tom]
It's you, it's me, and there's dancing
It's you, it's me, and there's dancing

[Instrumental break]

[Pre-Chorus: Gareth & Kim, Kim]
One thing I could never confess
It's that I can't dance a single step
One thing I could never confess
Is that I can't dance a single step

[Chorus: Gareth, Kim & Tom]
It's you, it's me, and there's dancing
It's you, it's me, and there's dancing

[Outro: Gareth, Kim & Tom]
I always get confused (It's you!)
Because in supermarkets, they turn the lights off when they want you to leave
But in discos, they turn them on (It's me!)
And it's always sad to go, but it's never that sad (And it's dancing!)
Because there's only so many places you're guaranteed of getting a hug when you leave
And then on the way home,always seems like a good idea to go paddling in the fountain (It's you!)
And that's because it, it is a good idea (It's me!)
And we're just like how Rousseau depicts man in the state of nature (And it's dancing!)
We are ignorant, we are undeveloped
We are stupid, but we're happy

[Spoken Outro: Gareth]
Thank you! So, Islington Assembly Hall. We have some thank yous to do but we'll, this is the boring part to do, but if this does get released as a live thing we'll make sure to edit them out

Uh, thank you to Among Brothers and to Sparky Deathcap for playing right before us. It's a real pleasure to bring another really fucking awesome band from Cardiff to play here, so thank you for having us, and for Sparky Deathcap. The guy who does Sparky Deathcap his music is fantastic but he is a dick. He showed up, he didn't say hello, he played his set, he left, um, he insisted on doing a t-shirt swap, uh, typical support band ploy, uh, so horrible person

Uh, thank you to, uh, poor Robbie Musco who is selling merch for us this evening. Um, thank you to, uh, Joe Meekums who is recording this for us, if it gets used. Thank you to Mark Foley for doing guitar tech and that. Uh, thank you Paul Rattcliff our, oh you bastard, our long suffering, egotistical, sound engineer

Um, thank you, there are, there are a lot of Campesinos! parents. Fathers, mothers, sisters, lovers here, so thank you for letting us do this. Um, we'll get to that, that was horrible, we'll, we'll get there

I get the feeling, tonight of all nights, you might invite us back to do some more songs. We'll break the fourth wall here. It would be rude of you not to. uh, but we're Los Campesinos! This is Tom, Ellen, Kim, Jason, my name's Gareth, this is Neil, uh, that's Rob and Los Campesinos! is, it goes on forever, so deal with it. Uh...
