Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City (2007) by Bloc Party (보컬) on maniadb.com

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 enjoy and I devour
flesh and wine and luxury
But in my heart, I am lukewarm;
nothing ever really touches me


At Les Trois Garçons
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
(self-pity won't save you)


Oh how our, 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


We stroll past the queue
into the magazine launch party
I am handed a pill
and I swallow with complete disdain
Kick-drum pounds 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, 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
Disappear here
Disappear here
Disappear here
Disappear here

I'm sitting on the roof of my house
With a shotgun and a six pack of beer
The newscaster says the enemy is among us
As bombs explode on the 30 bus
Kill your middle class indecision
Now is not the time
For liberal thought


So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Head's are going to roll
I go hunting for…


1990's, optimistic as a teen
But now it's terror, airplanes crash into towers
The Daily Mail says the enemy is among us
Taking our women and taking our jobs
All reasonable thought is being drowned out
By the non-stop baying, baying, baying for blood


So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Head's are going to roll
I go hunting for…


I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
I watched TV, it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
There must be accountability
Disparate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place


So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Head's are going to roll
I go hunting for…


I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
I watched TV, it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
There must be accountability
Disparate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place

Waiting for the 7.18
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 I still kick a ball a hundred yards?


Now we cling to bottles
and memories of the past


Just give me moments
not hours or days
Just give me moments


Grinding your teeth in the middle of the night
Let the sadness off 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 eat more wild
blackberries


Just give me moments
not hours or days
Just give me moments


Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend


Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend

Lord give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies thrown in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what's mine

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall,
All the young people looked the same,
Wearing their masks of cool and indifference,
Commerce dressed up as rebellion.


Because we're so handsome and we're so bored,
So entertain us, tell me a joke,
Make it long, make it last,
Make it cruel, just make me laugh,
We can't be hurt.X2


Drink to forget your blues on the weekend,
Think about more things to buy.
The TV taught me how to sulk and to love nothing.
And how to grow my hair long.


Because we're so handsome and we're so bored,
So entertain us, tell me a joke,
Make it long, make it last,
Make it cruel, just make me laugh,
We can't be hurt.X3


So why do you go picking fights that you'll lose?
(When you have entertainment, when you have things to pass the time)
So why do you have to go thinking thoughts that are above you?
(You can be happy, just play dumb x2)


Well I was brave
And unique,
Intelligent,
A snowflake,
I could have been a hero.
No-one can be trusted over the age of 14.


Tattoo our arms,
Converse shoes,
Cynical,
But we still do it,
We tell ourselves that we're different,
I've gotten so good at lying to myself.


All, all my pain and honor is used up,
oh, oh, oh,
All my guns are rusted.


So when are you going to realize those are not your wrongs to right,
Have another line, have another drink.


I am a martyr I just need a motive,
I am a martyr I just need a cause,
I'm a believer I just need a moment,
I'm a believer I just need a cause.


We're finding it hard to break the mold,
We are finding it so hard to be alone,
We're finding it hard to have time by ourselves,
We have nothing at all to say.


Uniform
Uniform


There was a sense of disappointment as we left them all
All the young people looked the same

I, I still remember
how you looked that afternoon.
There was only you.

You said "it's just like a full moon".
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal.
And our fingers, they almost touched

You should have asked me for it.
I would have been brave.
You should have asked me for it.
How could I say no?

And our love could have soared
over playgrounds and rooftops.
Every park bench screams your name.
I kept your tie.

I've gone wherever you wanted.

(I still remember)

And on that teacher's training day
we wrote our names on every train
laughed at the people off to work.
So monochrome and so lukewarm.

And I can see our days are becoming nights.
I could feel your heartbeat across the grass.
We should have run.
I would go with you anywhere.
I should have kissed you by the water.

You should have asked me for it.
I would have been brave.
You should have asked me for it.
How could I say no?

And our love could have soared
over playgrounds and rooftops.
Every park bench screems your name.
I kept your tie.

I would let you if you asked me

I still remember.

Heavy night; it was a heavy night
Feels like we come back from the dead
Heavy night; it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said (to anyone)


If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under 15’s playing football in the park
Let’s sit in St. Leonard’s on this alcoholic day
We’re doing the best with what we’ve got


I love you in the morning
When you’re still hung-over
I love you in the morning
When you’re still strung out
I love you in the morning


I work hard all week, and so do you
We return to let off some steam
Less orthodox creeping
We need to rage through this life
There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
Forget about those melting ice caps
We’re doing the best with what we’ve got


I love you in the morning
When you’re still hung-over
I love you in the morning
When you’re still strung out
I love you in the morning


When I'm with you, I am calm; a pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile, a private kind of happiness


You see, giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words


When I'm with you, I am calm; a pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile, a private kind of happiness


I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning

Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
I took down the posters from my wall
Left letters for you all


I remember moments of happiness
Endless summer, acoustic guitars
Being a man made me coarse
When I wanted to be delicate


I called up Eugene
Told him I was drowning
I called up Eugene
Told him I was drowning


Like a castaway on a warm ocean
Waiting for a purpose to rise
They say it's not becoming
For a boy my age


If you want to know what makes me sad
Well it's hope, the endurance of faith
A battle that lasts a lifetime
A fight that never ends


Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
Tell my mother I am sorry
And I loved her
