I Just Signed. I Just Sighed, Just So You Know - Los Campesinos![00:00:01]
First and foremost, let it be said,[00:00:11]
I am writing this at 7:10 am,[00:00:13]
On the hard dry tarmac of a vacant forecourt.[00:00:16]
Astronomically speaking, it's the first day of Autumn.[00:00:19]
But the sun is hanging round like summer's hungover.[00:00:21]
They'll knock the garage down and build flats where I sit.[00:00:24]
The traffic's so persistent that it barely registers[00:00:27]
And it smells like a mix between petrol and dog shit.[00:00:29]
Just let me be the one that keeps track of the moles on your back[00:00:33]
I just sighed, the universe replied: "let this pass you by"[00:00:38]
Sometimes it's just enough to know I keep him on his toes.[00:00:43]
Is he as sympathetic as me to the untimely demise of your synthetic clothes?[00:00:47]
I've displayed marriage proposals on the Jumbotrons of ballgames you've not been at,[00:00:53]
I've written eulogies in guestbooks of galleries in the hopes that you might pass[00:00:58]
Just let me be the one that keeps track of the moles on your back[00:01:05]
I just sighed, the universe replied: "let this pass you by"[00:01:10]
She; nervous and barefoot, chats to me at the front door.[00:01:15]
He; boyfriend, inside's a saint, becoming a martyr.[00:01:20]
Me; rolling, writing on the floor, stared daggers pulled from my thoracic wall.[00:01:25]
When I hold sea shells to my ears, I'm pretty sure I can hear you.[00:01:33]
He gave a gift of the Faber book of love poems,[00:01:50]
Annotated the ones he thought applied the most.[00:01:53]
Not gonna win you round with prose,[00:01:56]
If anyone should know then I it's should know.[00:01:58]
Girl, there must be a reason you let it slip,[00:02:00]
Went to the point of sending the message.[00:02:04]
Six months of visceral catherine wheels,[00:02:06]
Kissing carnivores to make it seem like less of a deal.[00:02:08]
Just let me be the one that keeps track of the moles on your back[00:02:12]
I just sighed, the universe replied: "let this pass you by"[00:02:17]
I promise after this I will pick up the phone book[00:02:22]
And choose the name that my eyes fall upon on their first look.[00:02:27]
Aim all of my poorly composed declarations there in the future.[00:02:33]
I'm so sorry to have to put you through a lifetime of dedications[00:02:39]
That you never desired.[00:02:50]
But this one sentence bludgeons me over the head[00:02:58]
I'm a little bit drunk and I mean just a little bit[00:03:09]
No lush in denial, only rather coquettish[00:03:14]
I'm fifteen years old and my parents' only son,[00:03:17]
Like I barely survived a girls' school education.[00:03:21]
Even prettier now that you've grown your hair long,[00:03:25]
I'm a slip of a man since I cut mine all off.[00:03:29]
Please just let me be the one to keep track[00:03:32]
Of the freckles and the moles on your back.[00:03:40]
