Hypnic jerk, and I'm woken from a dream
We were pooling pennies for the coin-op guillotine
They gotta give us bread but give us roses, or lifeless he reposes
In a puddle of blood by a deadly blade agleam
Your eyes glazed over while you sat unlistening
You said your head's on fire and every thought is kindling
A tired life is a wild ride for the saddest boy on the waterslide
When the breadcrumbs only lead to where you've been
But the last thing said while we lay in bed
Is that "I love when you invoke my death"
When the grey gauze mist descends on me like sleep
So how does it seem like I've been coping?
My brain is fried and my spirit's broken
Working for the coin-op guillotine
If you've got a cross to bear
Call my name, I'll see you there
A 3-beer-buzz or bust these days, hungover international break
Time slides glacier slow, and the gallows concrete will hit like a pillow
House a white whale, all of your exes ache within your solar plexus
Heart erupts and the pavement splatters
I think I'm right, I don't think it matters
Two sounds collide upon the breeze
Sunday service, Sunday league
From either side there comes unholy scream
How's it look like I've been dealing?
Ten-tonne truck struck full of feelings
Longing for the coin-op guillotine
If you've got a cross to bear
Tell me what it costs in prayer
Call my name, I'll see you there
We've gotta pool all of our pennies
Between us we have plenty
Call my name, I'll see you there

Los Campesinos! sono un gruppo musicale indie pop britannico formatosi a Cardiff, in Galles, nel 2006. Il nome del gruppo è una traduzione spagnola di "The Peasants!", scelta per il suo suono evocativo e ironico. La band è caratterizzata da melodie orecchiabili, testi poetici e un'energia contagiosa che li ha portati a diventare uno dei gruppi indie più amati del Regno Unito. I loro album sono spesso ispirati alla vita quotidiana, alle relazioni sentimentali e all'adolescenza, con una vena di malinconia e romanticismo tipica della musica indie. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Hold On Now, Youngster", "You! Me! Dancing!", "By Blood By Name" e "Avocado Baby". Los Campesinos! hanno collaborato con artisti come The Wombats e Super Furry Animals, e hanno suonato in festival di fama internazionale come il Glastonbury Festival.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
