BLOC PARTY. Lyrics

22.01.22

The 22nd of January 2022
That was the first time I laid eyes on you
Although we did not speak for nearly a whole year
Our eyes connect between the reps and suddenly
Suddenly I feel so exposed

But we have met before

Now we're in a beam of light
The whole world spins away
Weightless in outer space it's just you and I
But we come crashing down to earth
You won't give me your number
We get trapped in this strange loop
Throughout the year
When I reach across to you
You smile but pull away

We have met before
But I don't recall your name
You are every kind eyed man
That I cannot make stay
So if I won't have you for long
How about we seize the day?

I'm not going to pretend
That I'm some kind of saint
But I will give you my everything
It's up to you what you do with it
So if I won't have you for long
I think it's best we seize the day

I wonder what I'll have learned
By the time you walk away
Will the lightness that you bring
May my lonesome blues fade away
So if I won't have you for long
It's time to seize the day

What do you say? So it begins

COMING ON STRONG

My baby comes on strong
But it's ok, it's what I want
We meet every night at 8
And we don't get home till late
He says I look like all that he needs

I was happy as a pig in
Happy as a pig in
Happy as a pig in spite of myself
He walks funny but that's ok
He's mine, all mine

He shows me creep shots he took of me
Before we'd even been introduced
He likes the cut of my jib
He likes my extra skinny fit
And on the C10 bus I realise it's love

I was happy as a pig in
Happy as a pig in
Happy as a pig in spite of myself
He walks funny but that's ok
He's always crashing into things

I was so sure
That lightning couldn't strike again
But here you are
To prove me wrong
I have a lover and I have a friend
He's the one I can be chill with

My baby comes on strong but it's ok
He's mine

I asked the listening skies
For someone to make me laugh
And here you are
You were heaven sent
I have a lover and I have a friend
He's the one I can be chill with

LOVE BOMBS

I'm thinking about scaling your fence
And leaving a single red rose by your door
I'm thinking about learning the accordion
And serenading you under your window
I'm thinking about taking you to a West End show
And buying every seat in the house
I'm thinking about my will and testament
And letting it all go to ground

There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
If you close your eyes, can you feel it?
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)

There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
Don't tell me that you can't feel it
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)

So I shoot my shot
I take next man's spot
And over our heads the stars align
I want to cool you down
I want to rough you up
I want to crawl all over you
Most of the time

I'm thinking about collecting your laughter
And sealing it safe in a jar
I'm thinking about framing the napkin
You bled on and mounting it on my wall

There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
If you close your eyes, can you feel it?
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)

There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
Don't tell me that you can't feel it
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)

I think it's about time you declared your hand
We haven't got to play these games
I get so scared when I'm in your arms
That one day this will all go away
It's like the whole thing was planned
The jigsaw fell into place
Our love will take over the world
They'll see the blaze from outer space
Outer space

There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
If you close your eyes, can you feel it?
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)

There's an invisible line that goes from your heart to mine
Don't tell me that you can't feel it
Love bombs love (I feel it)
Love bombs love (I feel it)
