Los Campesinos!
Romance Is Boring (Live At Islington Assembly Hall)
[Verse 1: Gareth]
Darling, I'm with St. Bernards
And we are scouring the Alps and the Andes
And if they die then it is on my head
We follow paw prints through the snow to your throne, to your bed
[Chorus: Gareth, Kim & Rob]
You're pouting in your sleep, I'm waking, still yawning
We're proving to each other that romance is boring
Sure, there are things I could do if I was half-prepared to
Prove to each other that romance is boring
[Verse 2: Gareth & Kim]
Start as you mean to continue
Complacent and self-involved
You're trying not to be nervous
If you were trying at all
I will wake, I will bake phallic cake
Take your diffidence, make it my clubhouse
But my strength's within lies, ventricle cauterised
It's the way of living that I espouse
[Chorus: Gareth, Kim & Rob]
You're pouting in your sleep, I'm waking, still yawning
We're proving to each other that romance is boring
Sure, there are things I could do if I was half-prepared to
Prove to each other that romance is boring
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Gareth]
We are two ships that pass in the night
You and I, we are nothing alike
I am a pleasure cruise, you are gone out to trawl
Return nets empty, nothing at all
[Chorus: Gareth, Kim & Rob]
You're pouting in your sleep, I'm waking, still yawning
We're proving to each other that romance is boring
Sure, there are things I could do if I was half-prepared to
Prove to each other that romance is boring
[Spoken Outro: Gareth]
Thanks a lot, how are you? Thank you for being here. We need to, we need to pace ourselves. This is, we're a mere fraction of the way through what's gonna be, for better or for worse, the longest set we've ever played. So yeah, you scream that now
Before we get too far I have one favour to ask, be good to each other in there, the front row is just several very, very pretty girls and they're the same girls that you guys are gonna be trying to pull on the way out. So be good to them now, we appreciate that
