Selling Rope (Swan Dive to Estuary) Los Campesinos!

[Verse 1: Gareth]
As I swan dive into the estuary, the birds do not flinch at my fall
They perch in the rafters, before, during, after, they do not notice me at all

[Verse 2: Gareth, Los Campesinos!]
As I float down into the estuary, wind cases my body in cool
I smell petrol fumes, see the smoke rise in plumes, the earth is one big fireball
The earth is one big fireball

[Chorus: Kim, Rob & Tom]
Anecdote, lie
My own alibi
I've been telling jokes
Piled notes high
My own alibi
I've been selling rope

[Verse 3: Gareth]
As I break the film of the estuary, the seaweed submerges my form
No passing cars stop, not a single jaw drops, as my wallet and keys sink before
A splash all I left in the world

[Chorus: Kim, Rob & Tom]
Anecdote, lie
My own alibi
I've been telling jokes
Piled notes high
My own alibi
I've been selling rope
