Hate for the Island (2021 Remaster)

Hate For The Island - Los Campesinos!

Recall the time

We straddled your windowpane smoked the last

Of the weed that sent you insane

In a public loo

In a borough of London

That I won't mentionyou phoned me in minnesota

Said you had a vital question

And as we smoked

You feared you neighbours might see we watched a fox

Rip out the contents of each

Bin bag that lined the road and then you turned to

See me

Mouth those entrails are how I'll feel

When you decide to leave

Now I've a whole lot of hate for the island

Since your friends buried you down there

Six feet deep beneath the sandbut

But at least I know we'll never be

That far now from each other

Just a couple hundred feet either side of sea level

It's no lie if the waters rose

And drowned that place from coast to coast

You wouldn't see this smile leave

My face for all eternity
