Los Campesinos!

Hello Sadness


A wishbone hangs between your breasts
I hope you haven't pulled it yet
And if this little finger doesn't have the strength
Then I'm scared that this birds back bone breaks

Chorus:
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
This dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry.

I wear a ring of your lipstick
Round the knuckle of my forth digit
Reminds me what our bodies sowed
It will do until we are betrothed

Chorus:
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
It's drippin from my broken heart
Is never runnin dry, runnin dry


The space between your navel
And your waistband was the ice
Where 2 fingers pirouette
Now these hangnail, they just slice

Chorus:
It's only hope that springs eternal
And that's the reason why
It's dripping from my broken heart
Is never running dry, never running dry

Your tongue the tide, your lips the shore
I am the jetsam overboard
Goodbye courage

I christen all the ships that sail on your little lips saliva trails
Goodbye courage
Hello sadness again

[Chorus:]

Little kisses come to pass then, goodbye courage, hello sadness

[Chorus:]
