《Straight In At 101》歌词

[00:00:01] Straight In At 101 - Los Campesinos!

[00:00:11] I think we need more post-coital and less post-rock.

[00:00:16] Feels like the build-up takes forever but you never get me off.

[00:00:23] You pull your dress over your face,

[00:00:26] And I stare down towards my chest,

[00:00:29] Chastise both our greasy hair,

[00:00:31] Wonder whose gut is the softest.

[00:00:34] Stand with my ear to the door listening to the landing floorboards,

[00:00:39] Working out when will be safe to dash from mattress to your bathroom,

[00:00:45] Where I ball my fingers into fists until my knuckles glow bright white,

[00:00:50] Press the heels into eye sockets 'til I see the flashing lights.

[00:00:55] Stop me when my stories change

[00:00:58] When they have started to repeat,

[00:01:01] 'Cause last time I was a mess of sleep of icy feet.

[00:01:05] So baby;

[00:01:07] All apologies.

[00:01:10] It was going to happen,

[00:01:13] Inevitably.

[00:01:37] I think we need more post-coital and less post-rock.

[00:01:42] Feels like the build-up takes forever but you never touch my cock and what exactly do you mean now,

[00:01:51] By "what can you even eat?

[00:01:55] And how does that affect how I'll get off this evening?".

[00:01:59] I flew down South to Mexico had a minor realization

[00:02:05] I understood why kids draw the sun with its rays emanating.

[00:02:10] And the beams broke the clouds,

[00:02:13] The sky looked like a concertina

[00:02:16] I'd sat on in my pocket for weeks,

[00:02:18] Folded up from a picture.

[00:02:21] I've been playing straight chicken with gay girls (it's never enough),

[00:02:24] She keeps on pulling the peace sign (and it seems like a taunt),

[00:02:27] She licked a glaze on her lips,

[00:02:28] They shone like battleship grey.

[00:02:30] She never liked the wisdom I gave:

[00:02:32] "Some people give themselves to religion,

[00:02:34] Some people give themselves to a cause,

[00:02:37] Some people give themselves to a lover,

[00:02:39] I have to give my self to goals".

[00:02:42] So baby;

[00:02:45] All apologies.

[00:02:47] It was going to happen,

[00:02:50] Inevitably.

[00:02:53] And if it helps,

[00:02:55] I mean,

[00:02:55] Even slightly at all,

[00:02:58] It's best to dust yourself down and get straight back on the whorse.

[00:03:04] I condescend a smile and wink directly at the camera.

[00:03:09] I leave you led in both our scents as I tip-toe out the backdoor.

[00:03:14] I skid down icy streets and view my face in the reflection of a high street lingerie store,

[00:03:22] Though it wasn't my intention.

[00:03:25] I phone my friends and family to gather round the television;

[00:03:31] The talking heads count down the most heart-wrenching break ups of all time.

[00:03:37] Imagine the great sense of waste,

[00:03:40] The indignity,

[00:03:41] The embarrassment,

[00:03:43] When not a single one of that whole century was mine.
