Los Campesinos! - What Death Leaves Behind Lyrics
I was the first match struck at the first cremation, you are my shallow grave, I'll tend you as a sexton
If you're the casket door that's being slammed upon me, I'll be a plague cross painted on your naked body
Well summer sighed and summoned up hail. Dirty in dish rack drips the holy grail
May be heartslob but I want 'em to know, cut and shut us like a portmanteau
We sit around jus' spitballin', all the witches cackle round my cauldron
They say you and me are tautology
What grows from the seeds,
can you quite believe?
through cracks come the weeds,
Long time listener, first time caller,
no need to remind me
What death leaves behind me
Why must I lie awake, from dusk until the morning, through fear of bein' impaled upon errant mattress spring?
Propose me as a pardon for sins, led on barbecue I'm burnt offerings
I proof-read the Book of Job for the Lord: edit one, League Cup 2004
We, delicate as a filigree, cleared a place for us in the chicory
Colosseum blood will dry in the sun (is it true...?)
We tread it carefully, we feel around in kid-gloves
What death will leave behind, death will leave behind love
We will flower again, I have surely seen it
WE WILL FLOWER AGAIN

They say you and me, are tautology
Love that
Wow its been 7 months already.Still cackling round my cauldron.
After a long night awake I'm heartslobbin what death leaves behind.
This song is so rad
A very good friend of mine died, and I didn't know what to do so I turned on spotify. This song was the first that came on and I cried.
Chees ee :/
Our phones are listening to us...
In all seriousness, its good you got some solstice from this song. We all go somewhere when we die, but we always leave so much behind
But, if death leaves behind love, where does love go when it's gone?
MORE CAMPESINOS
stunning
This is so different from everything else, and I still love it so much.
Does the drumming (starting at 0:35) remind anyone else of "Soon" by My Bloody Valentine?
The lyrics...damn Gareth is a genius.
they are so good man
This band can do no wrong.
Forever LC!
