Los Campesinos!
Hello Sadness (Live At Islington Assembly Hall)
[Spoken Intro: Gareth]
And this is the title track off our most recent record. It's called "Hello Sadness"
[Verse 1: Gareth]
A wishbone hangs between your breasts
I hope you haven't pulled it yet
And if this little finger doesn't have the strength
Then I'm scared that this bird's back bone breaks
[Chorus: Gareth]
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
[Verse 2: Gareth & Kim]
I wear a ring of your lipstick
Around the knuckle of my fourth digit
It reminds me what our bodies sowed
It will do until we arе betrothed
[Chorus: Gareth & Kim]
It's only hope that springs еternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never runnin' dry
[Verse 3: Gareth & Kim]
The space between your navel
And your waistband was the ice
Where two fingers pirouette
But now these hang nails, they just slice
[Chorus: Gareth & Kim]
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never runnin' dry
[Bridge: Gareth]
Your tongue, the tide, your lips, the shore
I am the jetsam overboard
Goodbye courage
I christen all the ships that sail
On your little kisses' saliva trails
Goodbye courage
Hello sadness, again
[Refrain: Gareth & Kim]
Little kisses come to pass, then
Goodbye courage, hello sadness
[Chorus: Gareth & Tom]
It's hope that springs eternal (Little kisses)
And that's the reason why (Come to pass, then)
This dripping from my broken heart (Goodbye courage)
Is never running dry (Hello Sadness)
It's hope that springs eternal (Little kisses)
And that's the reason why (Come to pass, then)
My broken heart is never running dry (Goodbye)
[Verse 4: Gareth]
Now that those four fingers gone
You leave me only with my thumb
That constantly is pointing down
The emperor bears teeth not frown
[Chorus: Gareth]
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never runnin' dry
