Allez Les Blues

Allez les Blues - Los Campesinos!

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

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 pull 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

Singing Allez les blues!

Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do

Allez les blues!

Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do

Allez les blues!

This lump in my throat

Is the knot that you tied

With a flick of your tongue

And a wink of your eye

This lump in my throat

Is the knot that you tied

With a flick of your tongue

And a wink of your eye

This lump in my throat

Is the knot that you tied

With a flick of your tongue

And a wink of your eye

This lump in my throat

Is the knot that you tied

With a flick of your tongue

And a wink of your eye

Yeah but the fire keeps me warm

And keeps my heart alive

You pushed my head down

Flat onto the page

You held the weapon

Flat to my face

You remember the promise

That you would break

But now the bloodline

Runs through my veins

Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do

Allez les blues!

Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do

Allez les blues!
