Selling Rope (Swan Dive to Estuary) - Los Campesinos![00:00:00]
As I swan dive into the estuary,[00:00:29]
The birds do not flinch at my fall[00:00:35]
They perch in the rafters, before,[00:00:41]
During after they do not notice me at all[00:00:44]
As I float down into the estuary,[00:00:51]
Wind cases my body in cool[00:00:57]
I smell petrol fumes,[00:01:02]
See the smoke rise in plumes[00:01:05]
The earth is one big fireball[00:01:08]
The earth is one big fireball[00:01:13]
Anecdote, lie[00:01:20]
My own alibi[00:01:22]
I've been telling jokes[00:01:25]
Piled notes high[00:01:30]
My own alibi[00:01:33]
I've been selling rope[00:01:36]
As I break the film of the estuary,[00:01:43]
The seaweed submerges my form[00:01:49]
No passing cars stop, not a single jaw drops,[00:01:54]
As my wallet and keys sink before.[00:01:59]
A splash all I left in the world[00:02:05]
Anecdote, lie[00:02:11]
My own alibi[00:02:14]
I've been telling jokes[00:02:16]
Piled notes high[00:02:22]
My own alibi[00:02:24]
I've been selling rope[00:02:27]
Once held a magpie in the palm of my hand[00:02:35]
And the blood in our veins flowed faster,[00:02:39]
As I'd planned[00:02:43]
Got a heart full of love and a head full of more[00:02:45]
But a fist full of threads from the seams[00:02:50]
And I saw a smile in that beak.[00:02:57]
Anecdote, lie[00:03:03]
My own alibi[00:03:05]
I've been telling jokes[00:03:08]
Piled notes high[00:03:13]
My own alibi[00:03:16]
I've been selling rope[00:03:19]
Oh I was a bird right then,[00:03:24]
One day I will be again[00:03:27]
I've been telling jokes while selling rope to you[00:03:29]
Oh I was a bird right then,[00:03:35]
One day I will be again[00:03:38]
I've been telling jokes while selling rope to you[00:03:40]
Oh I was a bird right then,[00:05:15]
One day I will be again[00:05:18]
I've been telling jokes while selling rope to you[00:05:20]
Oh I was a bird right then,[00:05:26]
One day I will be again[00:05:28]
I've been telling jokes while selling rope to you[00:05:31]
There's no ticker tape,[00:05:35]
No golden gate[00:05:37]
No carnival and no parade[00:05:39]
Just one, one for sorrow[00:05:41]
There's no ticker tape,[00:05:46]
No golden gate[00:05:48]
No carnival and no parade[00:05:49]
Just one, one for sorrow[00:05:52]
