Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness

Текст песни

A wishbone hangs between your breasts
I hope you haven’t pulled it yet
And if this little finger doesn’t have the strength
Then I’m scared that this bird’s back bone breaks
It’s only hope that springs eternal
And that’s the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
I wear a ring of your lipstick
Around the knuckle of my fourth digit
It reminds me what our bodies sowed
It will do until we are betrothed
It’s only hope that springs eternal
And that’s the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never running dry
The space between your navel
And your waistband was the ice
Where two fingers pirouette
But now these hang nails, they just slice
It’s only hope that springs eternal
And that’s the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never running dry
Your tongue, the tide, your lips, the shore
I am the jetsam overboard, goodbye courage
I christen all the ships that sailed
On your little kisses' saliva trails
Goodbye courage, hello sadness, again
Little kisses come to pass, then
Goodbye courage, hello sadness
It’s hope that springs eternal
And that’s the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
It’s hope that springs eternal
And that’s the reason why
My broken heart is never running dry
Now that those four fingers gone
You leave me only with my thumb
That constantly is pointing down
The emperor bears teeth not frown
It’s only hope that springs eternal
And that’s the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry
Never running dry
