The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future - Los Campesinos![00:00:00]

I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip,[00:00:36]

I said,[00:00:39]

"You've taken the diet too far,[00:00:40]

You have got to let it slip".[00:00:42]

But she's not eating again,[00:00:43]

She's not eating,[00:00:45]

She's not eating again,[00:00:47]

She's not eating again.[00:00:49]

I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate,[00:00:52]

I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant,[00:00:56]

She was always far too pretty for me to believe in a single word she said,[00:01:00]

Believe a word she said.[00:01:05]

At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation,[00:01:12]

From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic.[00:01:16]

She spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions,[00:01:19]

In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors.[00:01:24]

She said one day to leave her,[00:01:29]

Sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide to drag her to the ocean,[00:01:31]

To another sea's shore.[00:01:39]

This thing hurts like hell,[00:01:41]

But what did you expect?[00:01:47]

And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart[00:01:50]

And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood coarse.[00:01:56]

But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me.[00:02:05]

Five hundred behind.[00:02:13]

A thousand years in perfect symmetry.[00:02:15]

Best known left wrist right finger,[00:02:36]

Through all the Southern States,[00:02:38]

On every video games machine they call her triple A.[00:02:39]

There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking,[00:02:44]

The chat show he host,[00:02:48]

He joked "you have to wait for the government program".[00:02:49]

You talk about your politics,[00:02:52]

And I wonder if you could be one of them,[00:02:54]

But you could never kiss a Tory boy[00:02:56]

Without wanting to cut off your tongue again.[00:02:58]

A good place to look to the future is[00:03:00]

When you are sat at the sea,[00:03:02]

With the salt up to your ankles[00:03:04]

And a view of the end of the pier.[00:03:06]

You may look down at your model's feet[00:03:07]

And wish that you'd just float away,[00:03:10]

And the weather here is overcast[00:03:11]

And the sea is the same shade of grey,[00:03:14]

So the landscape before[00:03:15]

You looks just like the edge of the world,[00:03:17]

But to the left side and the right side,[00:03:19]

Either way is a crazy golf course.[00:03:22]

The sea is a good place to think of the future.[00:03:24]

And all you can hear is[00:03:35]

The sound of your own heart[00:03:38]

And all you can feel is your lungs flood[00:03:41]

And the blood coarse.[00:03:45]

But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me.[00:03:49]

Five hundred behind.[00:03:57]

A thousand years in perfect symmetry.[00:04:00]

A thousand years: no getting rid of me.[00:04:04]

A thousand years in perfect symmetry.[00:04:08]
