Bloc Party, Anyone?
Bloc Party, amazing band.
Music is a huge part of my life. It helps me through bad times, highlights my great times, and of course I can dance to it. Plus what better way to immortalize that heartbreak than with a song? Or encapsulate victory? Or remember that first dance? Music. Its the soundtrack of life. (classic. will someone give me job…I rock this writing thing!)
Anywoot. Bloc Party is currently the band blasting on my ipod, in my car, and on my bedroom speakers. I have to say “One Month Off” is my favorite song from the album, though I love them all. My brother told me “One Month Off” would be my song…he was right…on multiple levels…haha. While this song is a bit bitter, and the lyrics express genuine hurt. The beat is amazing. I can relate to the song with my own feelings, but instead of feeling sad, I feel better, and I want to stand up for myself and how I feel.
So…here are the lyrics to One Month Off, and you can find other Bloc Party lyrics on their website here: Bloc Party Lyrics I recommend these songs too: This Modern Love, So Here We Are, Ion Square, Ares, and Mercury.
One Month Off
Well there were 7 years between us seems that all my friends were right
That we can’t survive on your bedroom eyes and a Spanish guitar
When we started this it was paradise, not just Bethnal green
And it’s just not right this waiting game, making a cuckold of me
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
If you need time…
And it’s just not like me to lash out, but enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do that I cant
Translucent and sun bleached skin, when did you get so LA
How can you desert me after all we’ve been through
Stuck on a dream that somewhere its better
You’ll be the one missing out
I can be a cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies
Lies
If you need time…
