Los Campesinos!

Los Campesinos! are a seven piece indie pop band from Cardiff, Wales, formed in early 2006 at Cardiff University. Although the band formed in Wales, none of its members are Welsh. They released their debut album, Hold on Now, Youngster..., in February 2008 and followed this up by releasing a record titled We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed, in October that year. Whilst many consider it to be an album due to its length, the band have always referred to it as a 'record' or EEP (extended EP) for contractual and artistic reasons. Their second official album, entitled Romance Is Boring, was released on 1 February 2010. Their fourth full-length release, Hello Sadness, was released on 14 November 2011. The band toured the US and UK extensively throughout 2012. more »

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
We're 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
We're singing "Allez les blues"
'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues
They hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues

This lump in my throat is a knot that you tied
With a flick of your tongue and a wink of your eye
This lump in my throat is a knot that you tied
With a flick of your tongue and a wink of your eye
(I've been sitting sidesaddle on the devil's chair)
(I've been muddying upholstery, he didn't care)
(We've been clinking glasses right into the dead of night)
(He burns a fire, keeps me warm and keeps my heart alight)
(I've been sitting sidesaddle on the devil's chair)
(I've been muddying upholstery, he didn't care)
(We've been clinking glasses right into the dead of night)
He burns a fire, keeps me warm and keeps my heart alight

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
And now the black blood runs through my veins

'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues
They hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues
