Текст песни:

What′s with all this doom and gloom?
You used to be such, such a laugh
It′s only sin, original sin
Corinthians (15:22)
Never been a big fan of things
But I′m growing so fond of you

You get sadder the smarter you get
And it′s a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it′s a bore

Truth is truth
I ain′t no bohemian
Much too, much too safe
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too typical
Much too, much too
You can use your hands for something else
I′ll take you further than the scholars can
Put down your books and molest me
Heaven is here, where it needs to be

You get sadder the smarter you get
And it′s a bore
You get sadder the smarter you get
And it′s a bore

And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world won′t last I′ll turn you on
Well, I′ve got enough for the both of us
The both of us
The both of us

And there was a time before we were born
When we stood in the garden
If this world does not turn you on
Well, I′ve got enough for the both of us
The both of us

Текст песни:

If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split
It′s all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time

We promised the world we′d tame it, what were we hoping for?

A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard
We will not be the first, we won′t
You said you were going to conquer new frontiers,
Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast

We promised the world, we′d tame it, what were we hoping for?

Breath in, breath out

So here we are reinventing the wheel
I′m shaking hands with a hurricane
It′s a colour that I can′t describe,
It′s a language I can′t understand
Ambition, tearing out the heart of you
Carving lines into you
Dripping down the sides of you

We will not be the last.

Текст песни:

Waiting for the seven eighteen
January is endless
Weary-eyed and forlorn
The Northern Line is the loudest

Sitting in silence in bars after work
I′ve got nothing to add or contest
Can still kick a ball a hundred yards
We cling to bottles and memories of the past

(Give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)
Not hours or days (give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)

Grinding your teeth in the middle of the night
With the sadness of those molars
Spend all your spare time trying to escape
With crosswords and sudoku

If I could do it again
I′d make more mistakes
I′d not be so scared of falling

If I could do it again,
I′d climb more trees
I′d pick and I′d more wild
blackberries

(Give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)
Not hours or days (give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)

Let′s drive to Brighton on the weekend (x4)

Текст песни:

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it your veins
Wake me up when u come to bed

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn′t kind to little things

Was my love strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can′t
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grey
And we can dance in our front room again

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn′t kind to little things

Don′t you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do

You′re not doing this alone

Resist

Текст песни:

He said you′re just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan
And you squeal and you squelch
He said that you′re just as boring as everyone else
Nothing ever happens

Things replace things
Days replace days
Things replace things

She said I′m going use my teeth and my claws
She said I′m going use my teeth and my claws
She said I′m going use my teeth and my breasts
I′m gonna make it happen
She said

Run run run run run run
And you cannot run or ever, ever escape
You cannot run or ever hide it away
Something glorious is about to happen
The reckoning

They go you′re just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan
And you squeal and you squelch
They go you′re just as boring as everyone else
Stuck past timing
The fear and the yearning
The fear and the consumption
The fear and the yearning
It′s gonna eat you alive
They go...

And you cannot hide or ever, ever escape
And you cannot hide or ever put it away
Something glorious is about to happen
The reckoning

They go...
They say...
They go...
They say...
They go...
Why′d you have to get so hysterical?
Success, success, success is over
Why′d you have to get
So fucking useless

Play it cool boy
Play it cool

Текст песни:

Backwards, forwards but making no ground at all
Standing in the city with the clocks counting one
And your face is still wet from the fight before
As your tears hit the ground, blue flowers spring from them
Baby, I′m ashamed of the things I put you through
Baby, I′m ashamed of the man I was for you

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

How fast must we run before we can just take off in flight?
How far must we run before they do not recognise us?
So let′s take this from the start, you′ll be me and I′ll be you
And let′s try not to complain about your smoking
And my distant heart
And my distant heart
And my distant heart

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

(Too many mirrors in this house)
(And I don′t like to see myself like this)
(I′m becoming the man I used to be I guess)
(These walls could tell you a thing or two)
(Things that you really don′t want to know)
(Lend me your eyes for your point of view)
(Lend me your feet and I′ll stand up for you)

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

Текст песни:

You′ll find it hiding in shadows
You′ll find it hiding in cupboards
It will walk you home safe every night
It will help you remember

If that′s way it is
Then that′s the way it is

I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes
What could I ever run to
Just tell me it′s tearing you apart
Just tell me you cannot sleep

And you didn′t even notice
When the sky turned blue
And you couldn′t tell the difference
Between me and you
And I nearly didn′t notice
The gentlest feeling

You are the bluest light

@ Bloc Party

Текст песни:

Wake up dreamer
It′s happening without you
Cut your hair and shave your beard
You squandered your chances
I′ll give you a thousand pounds
To show me how you do it
Stop being so laissez-faire
We′re all scared of the future

Been training vipers to come for you
In your dreams to release you
Been training vipers to come for you
In your sleep
And the ravens are leaving the tower
And the ravens are leaving the tower
Make your peace

I′ve got a taste for blood
Leave the weak, leave the young
I′ve got a taste for blood
I′m walking out without you
You will kill or be killed
It′s about progress
I′ve got a taste for blood

Wake up sleepyhead
It′s happening without you
Such a nice guy
You tell me everything twice
Whipcrack speed jump
We will run backwards
Stop being so laissez-faire
We′re all scared of the future

We make plans for big times
Get bogged down, distracted
We make plans for good times
All neon, all surface
So kiss me before it all gets complicated
I′ve got a taste for blood

@ Bloc Party

Текст песни:

Hurry up boy
You′re making me wait
Twist my arm boy
Chinese burn
You smell like shit boy
What have you been doing?
You smell like shit boy
Me and you

Suffocate you
Sweat and semen
Negate desire
With promises
We′ve all been hurt boy
And learnt the hard way
Tear it down boy
Start again

God sends disasters
God sent you to me

Why so worried?
You didn′t let me down
Why so sad boy?
You didn′t wear me out
If you don′t feel it
Like the others
If you don′t feel it
You never will

God sends disasters
God sends disasters

The flames of desire have taken hold
If I don′t burn with you I burn alone

@ Bloc Party

Текст песни:

I′ve been driving, a mid sized car,
I never hurt anyone
Is that a fact?
The price of gas keeps on rising
Nothing comes for free
Make like a stone, make like a plant
I can tell you, how this ends

We′re going to win this
With spades and truncheons, guns and trowels
That is how the war will be won
Just swat the fly
Taking care of cars and bodies
Nothing ever comes for me
The ghosts are here, red white and blue

I can tell you how this ends
We′re going to win this

@ Bloc Party

Текст песни:

We sit and we sigh
And nothing gets done
So right, so clued-up
We just get old

And all the while
Been torn asunder

Nicotine
And bacteria

What are we coming to
What are we gonna do

Текст песни:

She′s hearing voices call her
She′s hearing voices warn her
She just can′t sleep in her bed
She just can′t sleep
She′s falling down the stairs
She′s tearing out her hair
She′s screaming my name, in the night
To keep her warm

She got a red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Milk of amnesia

She′s scared of the blacks
And she′s scared of the Jews
She is walking around
She is yesterday′s news
And she screams out my name
In the dead of the night
She is leaving my room
She is crying on her side
Walking on eggshells
Walking on glass
Burnt by the mirror
Burnt by the light
Feeling rejection I′ll burn down your house
Tearing down posters
I was never alive

@ Bloc Party

Текст песни:

If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
There is lightning in this room
Above our heads waiting to strike
Im a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

Id kill for an adventure
Just you and I in the Curzon Bar
Dancing till we knew
So all that we′ve learnt disappeared
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
But yet unable to reach me

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a State of Flux

State of Flux [x9]

We need to talk [x5]

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

Текст песни:

I am trying to be heroic,
In an age of modernity.
I am trying to be heroic,
because all around me history sings.

So I enjoyed and I devoured
flesh and wine and luxury.
But in my heart,
I am lukewarm;
nothing ever really touches me.

At Les Trois Gar
we meet at precisely 9 o′clock.
I order the foie gras
and I eat it with complete disdain.
Bubbles rise in champagne flutes,
but when we kiss, I feel nothing.

Feasting on sleeping pills
and Marlboro Reds.
(so busy won′t save you)

Oh how our parents
they suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the 80s never happened.
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway.
Disappear here

Stroll the pier
into the magazine launch party.
I am handed a pill,
and I swallow with complete disdain.
Kick-drum bangs off the high-hat;
Remember to look bored.
We suck each others′ faces,
and make sure we are noticed.

(Cocaine won′t save you)
Because East London is a vampire,
it sucks the joy right out of me
How we long for corruption in these golden years.

Oh how our parents
they suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the 80s never happened.
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway.
Disappear here x4

Текст песни:

It was your hair that did it
It was your hair that lit the fuse
A golden brown halo
Like sunlight peering through trees
I ask you for the time, but I am asking for so much more
A moth to your light bulb, you made my heart beat faster

Paralyze me, with your kiss
Wipe those dirty hands, on me
Maybe we′re looking for the same thing
Maybe you′re the one who will complete me

Oh how beauty burns, lips and eyes and fingertips
The spark of desire on every point our bodies meet
Behind your eyes were stars, infinite and serene
How I would suffer for you, you fascinate and magnetize me

Sometimes I think, I would float away
If this sadness did not weigh me down

Текст песни:

I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten
So here we are again
I made a vow, to carry you home... home

I really tried to do what you wanted
It all went wrong again

I made a vow, to carry you home
If you fall sick, if you pass out

I figured it out, I can see again
