Los Campesinos!

For Flotsam

Los Campesinos!


Tom: F

F
Knees knocking and
Bb
Blood flowing, so
F                  Dm Bb
I want you to know...

F   Bb   F   Dm Bb x2


[Verse 1]
F                                Bb
You say you are an old cassette that has gone and spilt its spool
        F                                     Dm              Bb
You're far more like a wet cardboard tube on this nightclub toilet floor
F                   Bb
As I describe my lonely, you listen very clear:
      F                                 Dm       Bb
The last set of goalposts taken down, summer of odd numbered year

F   Bb   F   Dm Bb 


[Verse 2]
F                        Bb
She says "if you're unhappy, then you gotta find the cure"
F                               Dm          Bb
I prescribe me one more beer, beyond that I am unsure
     F                     Bb
May not be be all and end all, in my defense she is the hole
F                                   Dm         Bb
I've thrown my goalkeeper forward, she's catenaccio


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Flotsam, Jetsam and Spindrift: all the girls I have loved
Dm
Dumped to earth by a spendthrift, gilt angels from above
F
And I saw God in the bathroom, I baptised him in sick
Am
Embraced him around his cistern "c'est la mort!, enough of this"


[Chorus]
G
Knees knocking and
Bb
Blood flowing so
G                  Dm Bb      
I want you to know       that I want to


[Verse 3]
      F                             Bb
And later she said something that stuck hard in my mind:
     F                                 Dm                  Bb
"we are their Capel Celyn, they gotta keep their slippers dry
      F                       Bb
To empathise with Tory's to invite upon disease
    F                                 Dm        Bb
A safer bet's to pack your bags, go holiday in Eyam"


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I will take you where the sun shines, cast shadows on your face
Dm
Crawl into their deepest recess, 'til I freeze or dehydrate
F
We'll live and breathe it in real time, montage is for the dead
Am
And my heart's still doing Fosburys nowhere near finished yet


[Chorus]
G
Knees knocking and
Bb
Blood flowing so
G                  Dm Bb      
I want you to know       that I want to


[Outro]
F
Knees knocking and
Bb
Blood flowing so
F                  Dm Bb      
I want you to know       that I want to
F
Knees knocking and
Bb
Blood flowing so
F                  Dm Bb      
I want you to know       that I want to
F                  Dm Bb      
I want you to know       that I want to
F                  Dm Bb                  F
I want you to know       that I want to
