Los Campesinos! - Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks Lyrics






When the smaller picture
Is the same as the bigger picture
You know that you're fucked
When you're trading paper cuts for splinters
You're out of luck

Like sharks don't sleep
And I don't take my eyes off you
The architecture's shit
And my cheeks are all ruddy and bruised

And it hits as hard as a blow to the head (And if we're trading paper)
Or a smash to the skull or a knee to your chest (cuts for splinters)
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks
Oh tomorrow Oh tomorrow Oh tomorrow

All these mercy killings have got my conscience spilling over
(We've paid off the judges and we're taking advantage)
And the buildings ornate but it's lacking in soul and character
(Pleading our defence in binary a smiley apology montage)
We're burning five storey buildings laying man traps at the fire exits
(Like dignity is equal to desperation and self effacement)
Playing feedback over tannoy systems. You look Desperate! You Look Pathetic!
(We're holding on to our own grandeur with careful compliment placement)

And it hits as hard as a blow to the head (And if we're trading paper)
Or a smash to the skull or a knee to your chest (cuts for splinters)

It hits as hard as a blow to the head (And if we're trading paper)
Or a smash to the skull or a knee to your chest (cuts for splinters)

And it hits as hard as a blow to the head (And if we're trading paper)
Or a smash to the skull or a knee to your chest (cuts for splinters)
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks
Oh tomorrow Oh tomorrow Oh tomorrow

And it hits as hard as a blow to the head (And if we're trading paper)
Or a smash to the skull or a knee to your chest (cuts for splinters)
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks
Oh tomorrow Oh tomorrow Oh tomorrow

One blink for yes, two blinks for no.
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks, we leave alone

    If you like this band, check out a closely related band named Bis. Los Campesinos sounds very similar to them.

    S.... ....

    SmasherExcel They really sound nothing whatsoever alike except for both having non-American accents. Spiky post punk vs. adorably twee indie pop!

  6. T.... V....

    they sound even better live!!

  7. J.... ....

    best way to end a concert ever

  8. Z.... W....

  11. F.... S....

    Who disliked this? WHATTA CUNT

  12. e.... ....

    This song is about a guy´s anxiety for a girl he´ll meet tomorow and who´s not sure about what she wants.. I mean it.

  13. C.... B....

    @ILICKdogs Yes I'm getting that as well! Not a bad song to be ripping off though! (Thanks, made my day to go on a Los Camps video and read a Replacements comment; I have renewed belief in humanity).

  14. C.... G....

    You look desperate. You look pathetic.

  15. J.... H....

    I saw them Friday and they ended with this song. I have to say it was amazing, the crowd loved them and the band actually seemed to be having fun, plus they are AMAZING live! Everyone looked totally euphoric and it was such a great way to end the show. Love these guys :)

  22. d.... ....

    i can't find any of their songs that i like as much as "the sea is a good place to think about the future" :(
    any suggestions?
