Got Stendhal’s Songtext
von Los Campesinos!

Got Stendhal′s bad, it struck me dumb
Venus in steel toes with fake furs in hand
Your doorstep, first place podium
I stood in awe, carrier bag of cans
Two puckered lips and a t-shirt suntan

I assembled former ghosts at a seance
Said I missed 'em, you only have to say it once
What I truly fear, maybe selfishly
When I finally rest, someone will summon me

In time a monument will cast
Two shadows in the middle of a square
Mistold when thousand years have passed
As clima-fit suit, as towelling bridal wear
Four puckered lips and some vows to swear

I assembled former ghosts at a seance
Said I missed ′em, you only have to say it once
What I truly fear, maybe selfishly
When I finally rest, someone will summon me


I assembled former ghosts at a seance
Said I missed 'em, you only have to say it once
What I truly fear, maybe selfishly
When I finally rest, someone will summon me

I don't know, I don′t wanna know now
Trusted heart pumps blood around a monolith that lets me down
I don′t wanna know, I don't wanna know

I don′t know, I don't wanna know now
Trusted heart pumps blood around a monolith that lets me down
I don′t wanna know, I don't wanna know
I don′t know, I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

At least when we′re encased in concrete we′ll be safe
At least when we're encased in concrete we′ll be safe

I assembled former ghosts at a seance
Said I missed 'em, you only have to say it once
What I truly fear, maybe selfishly
When I finally rest, someone will summon me

I assembled former ghosts at a seance
Said I missed ′em, you only have to say it once
What I truly fear, maybe selfishly
When I finally rest, someone will summon me
