I'm considering religion
And military conscription
It's the moment I realise I am stuck
Asserting ourselves at traffic lights
In foreign countries in the very dead of night
Is the moment I realise I am stuck
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
This is the end of the asterisk
Babe, that one's got nothing on me
This is the end of the footnote
Extorting money from your parents
Your disgusting parents
Honestly you're an absolute waste of time
Craving attention with your self-deprecation
I'll tell you one thing, it's spot on
And I'm better
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
This is the end of the asterisk
Babe, that one's got nothing on me
This is the end of the footnote
Extorting money from your parents
Your disgusting parents
Honestly you are an absolute tragedy
My luck, heroically, in all of the books you read
I read your novella, oh how I laughed
Killed off the lot of them

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.
