Allez Les Blues
de Los Campesinos!
I pushed your head down, flat onto the page
I held the weapon, flat against your face
I remembered the promise that I had made
And turned the pen back, back onto myself
So you can stick your words of comfort
And you can take your well wishes too
Singing allez les blues
'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues
I know your shape and I know your size
You are the weight of the concrete boots that pulled me under the tide
And now you’re marching on to a different drum, leaving my body here without a beat
A body drained of all feeling can be nothing but a piece of meat
So you can stick your words of comfort
And you can take your well wishes too
Singing allez les blues
'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues
'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues
This lump in my throat is the knot that you tied
With a flick of your tongue and a wink of your eye
This lump in my throat is the knot that you tied
With a flick of your tongue and a wink of your eye
This lump in my throat
(I’ve been sitting sidesaddle on the devil’s chair)
Is the knot that you tied
(I’ve been muddying upholstery, you didn’t care)
With a flick of your tongue
(We've been clinking glasses right into the dead of night)
And a wink of your eye
(Yeah, but the fire keeps me warm and keeps my heart alive)
This lump in my throat
(I’ve been sitting sidesaddle on the devil’s chair)
Is the knot that you tied
(I’ve been muddying upholstery, you didn’t care)
With a flick of your tongue
(We've been clinking glasses right into the dead of night)
He burns a fire, keeps me warm and keeps my heart alive
You pushed my head down, flat onto the page
You held the weapon, flat to my face
You remembered the promise that you would break
But now the bloodline runs through my veins
'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues
'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues
