Songs About Your Girlfriend (Live at Islington Assembly Hall - Los Campesinos!

You do not like us 'cause your girlfriend likely does

And all your friends agree on her soft-spot for me

I’ll have my hard hands over her soft spots soon, you will see

And if you want a list of all her favourite bits

The next time I am free, quite comprehensively

I will scrawl them all down for you as an apology

Tell her the times we shared that broke have been repaired

Cinders of our old jokes have once again been stoked

But with a different girl, funnier now they’ve been rehearsed

All night, hung on your every word

'Til we were interrupted by the birds

Singing, «Oh, your mask is slipping

Oh, your mask is slipping»

Songs I’ve written about your girlfriend

Are just psalms of spite since it came to an end

'Cause I never made her smile like that

And she never made me smile right back

Although I always made her purr like a cat

She said I never made her smile like that

She stubbed her home club’s crest on me with cigarettes

A swift that matched the bird upon her football shirt

She would lift the hem, she would wear that thing like a skirt

The last time I was there, she let me wear her clothes

She painted my lips red so that we both ensured

I kiss her every inch, my god, the girl looked like she’d burned

All night, hung on your every word

'Til we were interrupted by the birds

Singing, «Oh, your mask is slipping

Oh, your mask is slipping»

Songs I’ve written about your girlfriend

Are just psalms of spite since it came to an end

All these songs I’ve written about your girlfriend

Are just killing time while my heart is on the mend

'Cause I never made her smile like that

And she never made me smile right back

Although I always made her purr like a cat

She said I never made her smile like that
