(PLAN A) - Los Campesinos![00:00:00]
Just like when we were seventeen[00:00:04]
We said we'd move to Malta, claim Nationality,[00:00:07]
And now that we are twenty-three[00:00:10]
Days tethered to the running track,[00:00:12]
Evenings chained to the dishrack[00:00:14]
I'm called up to the Maltese national team,[00:00:15]
My vision is impeccable, my first touch is obscene.[00:00:18]
A world cup qualifier finds me fifty, forty, thirty yards[00:00:20]
From goal, a late sub on in an off the striker role[00:00:23]
Was it wind? Did it take a bad deflection?[00:00:26]
A decade spent nursing a fear that you might never make it?[00:00:29]
The crowd draws breathe at once it swerves to the top corner[00:00:32]
The Sunday tabloid press declares me the new king of Malta.[00:00:34]
With my name on shirts, your face on the cash[00:00:47]
That every week just piles inside our bank account,[00:00:50]
We'd rule the roost and we could start a family[00:00:53]
I think we'd make about a hundred million bucks[00:00:55]
I head down to the mint and tell them:[00:01:00]
Pound every coin deep into the ground[00:01:02]
Burn every note in circulation[00:01:05]
There's a new face on the currency of our nation.[00:01:08]
I hand them a photograph of you,[00:01:11]
The most beautiful thing they'd ever seen.[00:01:13]
The press starts a rolling, your image on Euros,[00:01:16]
The workforce retires to the bathroom.[00:01:19]
With my name on shirts, your face on the cash[00:01:32]
That every week just piles inside our bank account,[00:01:35]
We'd rule the roost and we could start a family[00:01:37]
I think we'd make about a hundred million bucks[00:01:40]
With my name on shirts, your face on the cash[00:01:43]
That every week just piles inside our bank account,[00:01:46]
We'd rule the roost and we could start a family[00:01:48]
I think we'd make about a hundred million bucks[00:01:52]
