All Your Kayfabe Friends

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gareth, Los Campesinos!] Word is you slept in a weird position and your back and your shoulders are aching I say my stomach is chewing its way out from the inside 'cause I've gone three days now without eating I died On a cross Trainer Getting in shape for you I fell At the first Hurdle You tell me I always do You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive I said, "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995" [Chorus: Aleks] We're feeling so much more content knowing where our allegiances lie Since our kayfabe friends have upped and left, you and I [Verse 2: Gareth] The time we spent around each others' waists The time spent expressing my distaste With my eyes on a lightbulb I choose to keep your birthday present for myself Blow candles, your ill health I'm being paid thirty-five pounds an hour As a specialist foot fetish model Flatter my arches, I pirouette for them I pick the angles, hide my ingrown toenail [Pre-Chorus: Aleks] You think you're the needle that drains the blood donation You're just a repetition on an old, worn-out pin cushion [Chorus: Aleks] We're feeling so much more content knowing where our allegiances lie Since our kayfabe friends have upped and left, you and I [Bridge: Gareth] As the bus pulls away, I stare at the last field Before we hit the city, that emotional minefield I seduced your ex-boyfriend to help you get over him You found him more attractive, it helped you get over me [Chorus] We're feeling so much more content Knowing where our allegiances lie Since our kayfabe friends have upped and left, you and I [Verse 3: Gareth] In the shower, I chew the soap bar From the plastic, the morning after I love the look of empathy in your eyes I love the look of lust between your thighs
