Kindle a Flame in Her Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gareth] "Hark!", the herald angels sing, "The boy's a cherub, let him be" And you harmonised more beautifully than they could At eight years old, I played the role of Gabriel, dressed head-to-toe In white denim, though with less optimistic foresight [Verse 2: Kim] Your lips land lightly, like Robin Redbreast's feet in the snow I hold you tightly like your halo's lined with mistletoe Thawing my heart like morning frost falling under my feet Oh, silent night, oh, lonely week [Pre-Chorus: Gareth] Merry Christmas I wish you were here Merry Christmas Maybe five, ten, fifteen, twenty years Twenty years [Chorus: Los Campesinos!] Kindle a flame in her heart, kindle a flame You've got to untie me from these bows Wrap your arms around me like swaddling clothes [Verse 3: Gareth] On the sixteenth day, I opened up the window Found a lump of coal and rammed it down my stupid, greedy throat On the seventeenth, you came around, my tiny teeth had been ground down But then you turned them back to smiles with just one kiss Now listen to this [Verse 4: Kim] Your lips land lightly, like Robin Redbreast's feet in the snow I hold you tightly like your halo's lined with mistletoe Thawing my heart like morning frost falling under my feet Oh, silent night, oh, lonely week [Pre-Chorus: Gareth] Merry Christmas I wish you were here Merry Christmas Maybe five, ten, fifteen, twenty years [Chorus: Los Campesinos!] Kindle a flame in her heart, kindle a flame You've got to untie me from these bows Wrap your arms around me like swaddling clothes Flame in her heart, kindle a flame You've got to untie me from these bows Wrap your arms around me like swaddling clothes Flame in her heart, kindle a flame You've got to untie me from these bows Wrap your arms around me like swaddling clothes [Outro: Los Campesinos!] Flame in her heart, kindle a flame Kindle a flame in her heart, kindle a flame Kindle a flame in her heart, kindle a flame Kindle a flame in her heart, kindle a flame
