Los Campesinos
This Is a Flag. There Is No Wind.
CAN WE ALL PLEASE JUST CALM THE FUCK DOWN?In an analogy that makes sense to mostThis opportunity it found me unmarked at the far postBut I blazed it right against the crossbarOf the pub that you had worked in since you moved here from Bath spaWe agreed we couldn't trust the guy that didn't like a single sportBut those bow-legged suitors hadn't given me much of a thoughtThey said it smelled delicious but it smelt of burning fleshNot meant to be malicious but this is the cross we bearThe story of the winter I forgot how to speak my mind was like a nation's flag but my breeze was too weak. How they dragged me to the hospital sayin' I had gone deaf, but I heard everything they said. It's just I had no interest.Our friends have put the two of us on suicide watchAnd every second spent away we spend watching the clockThere are photos of us holding hands outside of the frameI was there, but wonder where our fingers were all the sameIt's like a self-restraint(It's the size of a fingernail)And then we chew it down(Yeah we chew it down all the same)Sad eyes for sad goodbyesIt's a crimeIt's a crimeIt's a crimeIt's a crimeThe story of the winter I forgot how to speak my mind was like a nation's flag but my breeze was too weak. How they dragged me to the hospital sayin' I had gone deaf, but I heard everything they said. It's just I had no interest.
