Allez les blues Lyrics & Tabs by Los Campesinos!
Allez les blues
guitar chords lyrics
I pushed your head down
Flat onto the page
I held the weapon
Flat against your face
I remembered the promise
That I had made
And turned the pen back
Back onto myself
So you can stick your words of comfort
And you can take your well wishes too
Singing Allez les blues!
Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues!
I know your shape and
I know your size
Allez les blues!
I know your shape and
I know your size
You are the weight of
The concrete boots that pull me under the tide
And now you’re marching on to a different drum
Leaving my body here without a beat
A body drained of all feeling
Can be nothing but a piece of meat
So you can stick your words of comfort
And you can take your well wishes too
Singing Allez les blues!
Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues!
Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues!
This lump in my throat
Is the knot that you tied
With a flick of your tongue
And a wink of your eye
(I’ve been sitting sidesaddle on the devil’s chair
I’ve been muddying upholstery, you didn’t care????? right into the dead of night
Yeah but the fire keeps me warm and keeps my heart alive)
Yeah but the fire keeps me warm
And keeps my heart alive
You pushed my head down
Flat onto the page
You held the weapon
Flat to my face
You remember the promise
That you would break
But now the bloodline
Runs through my veins
Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do
Allez les blues!
