Los Campesinos!
We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives
[Verse 1: Gareth, Gareth & Aleks]
When you play pass the parcel with human body parts
Somebody might get head, but someone will get hurt
And I'll sing what you like, if you shout it straight back at me
[Chorus: Aleks]
There‘s red stains all over the place
But they're not blood, they're Cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
[Verse 2: Gareth, Gareth & Aleks]
And it's great that you care so much about things
But you left talcum powder all over the bathroom
And yeah, it is great, you can blow her smoke rings
But you won't taste her lips if you do get to kiss her
And it's your party, but I'll die if I want to, I'll die if I want to
[Chorus: Aleks]
There‘s red stains all over the place
But they're not blood, they're Cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
[Verse 3: Gareth, Gareth & Aleks]
The music was okay, but the fresh air was better, and
I couldn't tell if the singer's keyboard was a crutch or a synthesizer
But it sounded like he'd broken a limb
Each and every time he pushed the key down or in
[Chorus: Aleks]
There‘s red stains all over the place
But they're not blood, they're Cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
There‘s red stains all over the place
But they're not blood, they're Cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
[Bridge: Gareth & Aleks]
There's red stains all over the place (There‘s red stains)
But they are not blood, they're Cherryade (All over the place)
We throw parties, you throw knives (But they're not blood)
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice (They're Cherryade)
Oh no, it's my mistake, you cut your tongue while taking a sip
(We throw parties, you throw knives)
It's over, tell his mother, the party is over
(It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice)
[Outro: Gareth]
Team Campesinos, trick or treating
On your driveway in the middle of August
One of us dressed as a zombie, one of us dressed as a pirate
One of us dressed as a ninja, four of us dressed as schoolgirls
And I'm starin' you straight in the eyes
I'm shakin' my head and I'm starin' you straight in your eyes
