You! Me! Dancing! - Los Campesinos!

LC played at a venue I don't like but I saw the show with people I like. It started way too early and so we were let in free of charge. What I expected wasn't much, what I saw was pretty awesome. Especially for a bunch of kids...or make that because of it?

They do a pretty alright cover of Pavement's "Frontwards".

This song is about dancing, one of the better ones on the matter. If I had a song choice about pool-side lounging that would have been ok too. Any suggestions?


The beats, yeah, they were coming out the speakers
and were winding up straight in your sneakers.
And I'm dancing like every song who spends his bizzle
like all my dance heroes would if they existed.

And yeah it's sad that you think that we're all just scenesters
(and even if we were it's not the scene you're thinking of)
to taking props from nineties boy band fashions
all crop tops and testosterone passion.


If there's one thing I could never confess,
it's that I can't dance a single step.


It's you!
It's me!
And there's dancing! (x2)

Not sure if you mind if I dance with you,
but I don't think right now that you care about anything at all.
And oh, if only there were clothes on the floor,
I'd feel for certain I was bedroom dancing.
And it's all flailing limbs at the front line.
Every single one of us is twisted by design
and dispatches from the back of my mind
say so long as we're here everything is alright.


If there's one thing that I could never confess,
it's that I can't dance a single step.


It's you!
It's me!
And there's dancing! (x2)


The video is sweet too. We should all get down with the dancing...
