Hello Sadness Lyrics - Hello Sadness - Los Campesinos!

A wishbone hangs between your breasts 

I hope you haven't pulled it yet 

And if this little finger doesn't have the strength 

Then I'm scared that this bird's back bone breaks 

It's only hope that springs eternal 

And that's the reason why 

This dripping from my broken heart 

Is never running dry 

I wear a ring of your lipstick 

Round the knuckle of my 4th digit, it 

Reminds me what our bodies sowed 

It will do until we are betrothed 

It's only hope that springs eternal 

And that's the reason why 

This dripping from my broken heart 

Is never running dry 

Never running dry 

The space between your naval 

And your waistband was the ice 

Where two fingers pirouette, but 

Now these hang nails they just slice 

It's only hope that springs eternal 

And that's the reason why 

This dripping from my broken heart 

Is never running dry 

Never running dry 

Your tongue the tide 

Your lips the shore 

I am the jetsam overboard 

Goodbye courage 

I christen all the ships that sailed 

On your little kisses' saliva trails 

Goodbye courage 

Hello sadness again 

Little kisses come to pass 

Then 

Goodbye courage 

Hello sadness 

It's only hope that springs eternal 

And that's the reason why 

This dripping from my broken heart 

Is never running dry 

Now that those 4 fingers gone 

You leave me only with my thumb 

That constantly is pointing down 

The emperor bears teeth not frown 

It's only hope that springs eternal 

And that's the reason why 

This dripping from my broken heart 

Is never running dry 

Never running dry
