Los Campesinos! - Glue Me
Album: No Blues (2013)
Intro: C#
G# Bbm F#
The clouds salivating, drooling from the sky at the thought of the trouble to wreak
G# Bbm F#
'til lightning breached their bellies, Caesarean section washes pigment from every street
G# Bbm (C#) F#
And it's high tide, as the sewers rise, and the drains have become obsolete
G# Bbm (C#) F#
Seems there's no place in this town, for something as pure as you seem
G# Bbm F#
I'm diving into headers, put this pretty face where the boots are flying in
G# Bbm F#
Been bobbing rotten apples, water to my waist, in a shark-infested bin
G# Bbm F#
People laugh, they will call it folly, but we connected like a Yeboah volley
G# Bbm F#
I'm totting up my worth in stamps, but doing it in second class
C# Bbm C#
I heard that it hurts, and I said, oh
G# Bbm F#
Two wrists, two wrist watches, tick-tick-tocking, second hands slightly out of time
G# Bbm F#
A constant subtle reminder, one of us will be gone before bells of the other chime
G# Bbm F#
I requested a room with a view, in the middle of a war between me and you
G# Bbm C# F#
And leave with all the dignity of a missed Panenka penalty
C# Bbm C#
I heard that it hurts, and I said
Bbm F F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
C# Bbm F
She smiled at a joke, but I said
Bbm F F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
Bbm F F#
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me
C#
G# Bbm F#
Draw me like one of your fence, girls, stood erect as a post, head to toe in creosote
G# Bbm F#
We're blocking out all the lapsed-punks, listen them piss and moan, counting out major notes
G# Bbm F#
Banned from every bar in town, snooker balls a weapon made
G# Bbm F#
Snooker cue held upside down, propelled like helicopter blade
C# Bbm C#
I heard that it hurts, and I said
Bbm F F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
C# Bbm F
She smiled at a joke, but I said
Bbm F F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
Bbm F F#
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me
Bbm F F#
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
Bbm F F#
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me
G# Bbm F#
The crowds celebrating, drooling from each side with the thought of the trouble to wreak
G# Bbm F#
And you hear them singing, in every room, from nursery to tomb
G# (fade out)
Ex-boyfriend give us a song, ex-boyfriend, boyfriend give us a song
Ex-boyfriend give us a song, ex-boyfriend, boyfriend give us a song
