Cemetery Gaits - Los Campesinos![00:00:00]
We lined up there pale stiff and cold[00:00:54]
Like racks of bed and breakfast toast[00:00:57]
So high up on the slate quarry[00:01:00]
That you swore that you could see the coast[00:01:04]
I thought I lost you in the dark[00:01:07]
Only twenty-four feet apart[00:01:10]
More stories tightrope on that stare[00:01:13]
Than the same white line at Meurig Park[00:01:16]
The dirt above the stars below[00:01:19]
I watched your face dry cold amid the afterglow[00:01:22]
And when they think of you and me[00:01:31]
It's clear if you're the doormat[00:01:34]
I'm the hickory[00:01:37]
Happenstance can wait for tomorrow[00:01:44]
'Cause you got to do it right[00:01:46]
Your shoulders flow from neck like a wine bottle's[00:01:50]
Bear them broad tonight[00:01:53]
You and I we consecrate[00:01:56]
My heart and all resolve might break[00:01:59]
You'll know us by the way we crawl[00:02:02]
You'll know us by our cemetery gaits[00:02:05]
Dawn comes awoken by sheep's bleat[00:02:08]
A fleet of hearses line the street[00:02:11]
A widow sobs more widows weep[00:02:14]
While we intrude like a widow's peak[00:02:17]
I shimmy up the cenotaph regale with my melancholy[00:02:20]
Two words upon my headstone please[00:02:26]
Don't need date or name just sad story[00:02:29]
Happenstance can wait for tomorrow[00:02:33]
'Cause you got to do it right[00:02:35]
Your shoulders flow from neck like a wine bottle's[00:02:38]
Bear them broad tonight[00:02:42]
You and I we consecrate[00:02:45]
My heart and all resolve might break[00:02:48]
You'll know us by the way we crawl[00:02:51]
You'll know us by our cemetery gaits[00:02:54]
They boast of poets on their side[00:02:57]
But what use will they be if this comes to a fight[00:03:00]
I glance along the length of pew[00:03:09]
And all that I can think's I want to undress you[00:03:12]
Happenstance can wait for tomorrow[00:03:46]
'Cause you got to do it right[00:03:49]
Your shoulders flow from neck like a wine bottle's[00:03:52]
Bear them broad tonight[00:03:55]
You and I we consecrate[00:03:58]
My heart and all resolve might break[00:04:01]
You'll know us by the way we crawl[00:04:04]
You'll know us by our cemetery gaits[00:04:07]
Happenstance can wait for tomorrow[00:04:11]
'Cause you got to do it right[00:04:13]
Your shoulders flow from neck like a wine bottle's[00:04:16]
Bear them broad tonight[00:04:20]
You and I we consecrate[00:04:22]
My heart and all resolve might break[00:04:25]
You'll know us by the way we crawl[00:04:29]
You'll know us by our cemetery gaits[00:04:31]
