Feast of Tongues Songtext
von Los Campesinos!

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Love lies bleeding in dead bouquet
Dread the dripping years and wish away each day
Swear I′d live through all of your nightmares
If it meant that I could sleep okay
She says the body is keeping score
Lost in sudden death, she can't take it no more
And if laughter′s the medicine we need, then this misery is therapy

I want the trust of every animal
Gonna bay for the blood of those that are hurting ya'
When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers
We will feast on the tongues of the last bootlickers


Love lies bleeding's a sobriquet
As the petals fall, the pet names do the same
Keep a list of what ails me
Tare to the elderly skeleton inside my frame
Time will come when we know
That we oughta drive to the horizon of American Water
Bankrupt, a frozen donation thermometer
Grab you by the hips and say it′s you that I′m grateful for

And I want the trust of every animal
Gonna bay for the blood of those that are hurting ya'
When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers
We will feast on the tongues of the last bootlickers

To the tune of the National Anthem
Of a country that didn′t survive
In a language I'd learned and forgotten
I′ll stay home, keep the garden alive

(A milestone, a millstone) And I want the trust
(A molehill, a molehill to die upon) Of every animal
(A milestone, a millstone) Gonna bay for the blood
(A molehill, a molehill to die upon) Of those that are hurting ya'
(A milestone, a millstone) When the black cloud comes
(A molehill, a molehill to die upon) If one flame flickers
(A milestone, a millstone) We will feast on the tongues
(A molehill, a molehill to die upon) Of the last bootlickers


(A milestone, a millstone) To the tune of the National Anthem
(A molehill, a molehill to die upon) Of a country that didn′t survive
(A milestone, a millstone) In a language I'd leearned and forgotten
(A molehill, a molehill to die upon) I'll stay home
Keep the garden alive
A milestone, a millstone
A molehill, a molehill to die upon
