Los Campesinos!: Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future
http://www.lyricsreg.com/lyrics/los+campesinos/The+Sea+Is+A+Good+Place/
I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
I said “you’ve taken the diet too far
you have got to let it slip”
But she’s not eating again
she’s not eating again
she’s not eating again
she’s not eating again.
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate
I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant.
She was always far too pretty for me to believe in a single word she said
believe a word she said.
At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation
from allergic reaction to a general anesthetic.
She spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions
in a futile attempt to know more than the doctors.
She said one day to leave her
sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
to drag her to the ocean
to another sea’s shore.
This thing hurts like hell
but what did you expect?
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
Best known left wrist right finger
through all the Southern States
on every video games machine they call her triple A.
There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking
the chat show host
he joked “you have to wait for the government program”.
You talk about your politics
and I wonder if you could be one of them
but you could never kiss a Tory boy without wanting to cut off your tongue again.
A good place to look to the future is when you are sat at the sea
with the salt up to your ankles and a view of the end of the pier
you may look down at your model’s feet and wish that you’d just float away
and the weather here is overcast and the sea is the same shade of grey
so the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world
but to the left side and the right side
either way is a crazy golf course.
The sea is a good place to think of the future.
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
A thousand years no getting rid of me
A thousand years in perfect symmetry.

I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You
*rocknroll! Does anyone think "American Los Campesinos" listening to them? Must be all the counting.
BTW, you want a long title? How about "This Is How You Spell "Hahaha, We Destroyed The Hopes And Dreams Of A Generation Of Faux-Romantics""

I see.
I consider them indie rock.
Especially considering the way the instruments are used - they play them!
Supporting my assertion is the fact the Edge, Toronto's alt rock station, has given them airtime too.
btw, channel management tip - you have 'one-click' access to remove a vid from rocknroll, so you don't have to use the *-nochannel invocation
In reply to this comment by rasch187:
To me, this is clearly pop music. It's just the feel of the song, the way the instruments are used, the vocals and the band itself (I've heard some of their other songs). The borders of rocknroll is a big grey area, so I will only remove a vid when I feel sure it's not rocknroll.
