Hate for the Island (2021 Remaster) Lyrics
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
