《The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future - Los Campesinos!

[00:00:36] I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip,

[00:00:39] I said,

[00:00:40] "You've taken the diet too far,

[00:00:42] You have got to let it slip".

[00:00:43] But she's not eating again,

[00:00:45] She's not eating,

[00:00:47] She's not eating again,

[00:00:49] She's not eating again.

[00:00:52] I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate,

[00:00:56] I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant,

[00:01:00] She was always far too pretty for me to believe in a single word she said,

[00:01:05] Believe a word she said.

[00:01:12] At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation,

[00:01:16] From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic.

[00:01:19] She spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions,

[00:01:24] In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors.

[00:01:29] She said one day to leave her,

[00:01:31] Sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide to drag her to the ocean,

[00:01:39] To another sea's shore.

[00:01:41] This thing hurts like hell,

[00:01:47] But what did you expect?

[00:01:50] And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart

[00:01:56] And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood coarse.

[00:02:05] But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me.

[00:02:13] Five hundred behind.

[00:02:15] A thousand years in perfect symmetry.

[00:02:36] Best known left wrist right finger,

[00:02:38] Through all the Southern States,

[00:02:39] On every video games machine they call her triple A.

[00:02:44] There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking,

[00:02:48] The chat show he host,

[00:02:49] He joked "you have to wait for the government program".

[00:02:52] You talk about your politics,

[00:02:54] And I wonder if you could be one of them,

[00:02:56] But you could never kiss a Tory boy

[00:02:58] Without wanting to cut off your tongue again.

[00:03:00] A good place to look to the future is

[00:03:02] When you are sat at the sea,

[00:03:04] With the salt up to your ankles

[00:03:06] And a view of the end of the pier.

[00:03:07] You may look down at your model's feet

[00:03:10] And wish that you'd just float away,

[00:03:11] And the weather here is overcast

[00:03:14] And the sea is the same shade of grey,

[00:03:15] So the landscape before

[00:03:17] You looks just like the edge of the world,

[00:03:19] But to the left side and the right side,

[00:03:22] Either way is a crazy golf course.

[00:03:24] The sea is a good place to think of the future.

[00:03:35] And all you can hear is

[00:03:38] The sound of your own heart

[00:03:41] And all you can feel is your lungs flood

[00:03:45] And the blood coarse.

[00:03:49] But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me.

[00:03:57] Five hundred behind.

[00:04:00] A thousand years in perfect symmetry.

[00:04:04] A thousand years: no getting rid of me.

[00:04:08] A thousand years in perfect symmetry.
