We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed

Los Campesinos! - We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed

By the light of the LED display of the VCR recorder

You kiss my neck, I whisper in your ear:"This is my downfall"

As you squint and you grimace

We both know your heart's not in it

In the glow of a thousand fireflies

In a travelodge en-suite

They think the future's bright as halogen

We know it's pretty bleak

And I'm trying to be sexy

Biting at the air that falls in front of me.

The telegrams are more and more less detailed by the day

And all the characters are strangers

And the pubs have different names

I tell a joke, I'd like to meet them

But they'll loathe me and I'd hate them back

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Fondness makes the absence longer

Length loses my interest

I'm a realist, I'm insatiable

So, ten days until I fly

But that was before your reply

You said, "He got his teeth fixed"

I'm gonna break them

I've got a heart on fire

You said, "He's got his sights set"

I'm getting to ya

I've got fists on fire

And you feel terrified at the thought of being left behind

Of losing everybody, the necessity of dying
