los campesinos! – as lucerne/the low lyrics
[verse 1]
there is no blues that can sound quite as heartfelt as mine
lamented at the gorge of the river
i watched it weep its banks dry
i hum the sorriest tune on the bar at these dives
send all the patrons running home
to make up with their first wives
[chorus]
but the low
and to bask
but the low
and to bask
[verse 2]
my prose is purple but not as pretty as lucerne
for sweet nothings from the lips of a gargoyle
n0body ever yearned
perpetually a philistine, but darling, i am longing to learn
been looked at like the rotten grape on the vine
while you and yours are drinking sauternes
[chorus]
(but the low) is what i came for
(and to bask) in a darkness i do adore
(but the low) is what i came for
(and to bask) in a darkness i do adore
(but the low) is what i came for
(and to bask) in a darkness i do adore
(but the low) is what i came for
(and to bask) in a darkness i do adore
i do adore, i do adore, i do adore
[verse 3]
i am the magpie’s solo, the sorrow that makes you salute
pounding the earth for the early worm
i am a glutton but it’s good for my glutes
i was solace to the sirens, the bait on the fisherman’s rod
the hook took me far from my family, but closer to god
[chorus]
(but the low) is what i came for
(and to bask) in a darkness i do adore
(but the low) is what i came for
(and to bask) in a darkness i do adore
(but the low) is what i came for
(and to bask) in a darkness i do adore
(but the low) is what i came for
(and to bask) in a darkness i do adore
(but the low) is what i came for
(but the low) is what i came here for
(but the low) is what i came for
(but the low) is what i came here for
