We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed (Live At Islington Assembly Hall) Los Campesinos!

[Spoken Intro: Gareth]
This song is called "We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed"

[Verse 1: Gareth]
By the light of the LED display of a VCR recorder
You kiss my neck, I whisper in your ear, "This is my downfall"
As you squint, you grimace
We both know your heart's not in it
By the glow of a thousand fireflies in Travelodge ensuite
They think the future's bright as halogen
We know it's pretty bleak
And I am trying to be sexy
Biting at the air that falls in front of me

[Verse 2: Gareth]
Your telegrams are more and more less detailed by the day
And all the characters are strangers
And the pubs have different names
I tell a joke I'd like to meet them
But they loathe me and I hate them back
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Fondness makes the absence longer
Length loses my interest, I'm a realist, I'm insatiable
Swapped counting days until I fly with hours before your reply

[Chorus: Gareth & Kim]
You said he got his teeth fixed
I'm gonna break them
I've got a heart on fire
He said he's got his sights set
On getting to ya
I've got a fist on fire
