Lyrics:

he'd a bruise so black they watched it fade through the full spectrum of colours.
They kept it like a pet; a private joke they told no others.
And how the tissue repaired, and how it turned to yellow
And she found it disgusting, 'cause it didn't match her clothing.
He said "that's not yellow, it's golden".

Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain,
Shout into the wind this'll never be the same.

The promised they'd be best of friends from now until forever,
But both were far too needy not to fall for the other.
And how the frequent public displays of sisterly affection,
Left her feeling safe, left him with an erection.

Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain,
Shout into the wind this'll never be the same.

Her body barely visible, as bleach-white as the bedsheets.
As stiff as starched, only perceptible as her middle was still branded
With a heat rash in the perfect shape of the Show-Me State.
Your come on lines sound disastrous; noise more foreboding than volcano or earthquake.

Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain,
Shout into the wind this'll never be the same.

Letter from me to Charlotte;
"They appropriated everything we ever loved, and dressed it up in quotations and fluff.
And I had a dream: [though said with hands in pocket, I mean it hand on heart]
You held a gun to his head, pressed your thumbs to her throat".
In these letters. Letters from me to Charlotte.

Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain,
Shout into the wind this'll never be the same.

Los Campesinos! are a six piece indie pop band from Cardiff, Wales, formed in early 2006 at Cardiff University. Although the band formed in Wales, none of its members are Welsh. They released their début album, Hold on Now, Youngster..., in February 2008 and followed this up by releasing a record titled We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed, in October that year. Whilst many consider it to be an album due to its length, the band have previously referred to it as a 'record' or EP (extended EP),[1] for contractual and artistic reasons before ultimately deciding to refer to it as their second album out of simplicity. Their second official album and third overall, entitled Romance Is Boring, was released on 1 February 2010. Their fourth full-length release, Hello Sadness, was released on 14 November 2011. The band's fifth album, No Blues, was released on 29 October 2013.
