By Your Hand
Los Campesinos!
By your hand is the only end I foresee,
I have been dreaming,
you've been dreaming about me.
By your hand is the only end I foresee,
I have been dreaming,
you've been dreaming about me.
I was sitting on my hands at the top-deck of the 178,
spitting cusses at my face reflected in the windscreen pane.
Throwing insults and calling names.
Filthy SMS's that you sent through the day,
by sundown, become tame,
so I set it in motion again.
But fates a cruel mistress, girl, the prettiest in the world.
She dresses loosely in a bathrobe with her hair up in curls,
cause we were kissing for hours with her hands in my trousers,
she could not contain herself, suggests we go back to her house.
But here it comes, this is the crux, she vomits down my rental tux.
I'm not sure if it's love anymore,
but I've been thinking of you fondly for sure.
Remember what your heart is for.
By your hand is the only end I foresee,
I have been dreaming,
you've been dreaming about me.
By your hand is the only end I foresee,
I have been dreaming,
you've been dreaming about me.
And it's a good night,
For a fist fight,
Because the dew will temper your fall,
You'll sing me lullabies in form of your cat-calls.
And I've been dangling in limbo, barely keeping my cool.
It's like I'm snookered between the back cushion and touching the 8 ball.
I keep replaying my turn, until your patience is shot,
you peel your white gloves off seductively before you re-spot.
Your fingertips leave marks and graze,
I lay you down atop the baize,
I'm not sure if it's love anymore,
but I've been thinking of you fondly for sure.
Remember what your heart is for.
Graceful, gracious companion with your eyes of doe and thighs of stallion.
My gracious companion with your eyes of doe and thighs of stallion.
By your hand is the only end I foresee, (My gracious companion with your eyes of doe and thighs of stallion.)
I have been dreaming, you've been dreaming about me. (My gracious companion with your eyes of doe and thighs of stallion.)
By your hand is the only end I foresee, (My gracious companion with your eyes of doe and thighs of stallion.)
I have been dreaming, you've been dreaming about me. (My gracious companion with your eyes of doe and thighs of stallion.)
