Flux

Bloc Party Flux Lyrics
1.Flux

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
I'm a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
I'd kill for an adventure
Just you and I, in the Curzon Bar
Dancing till we knew
So all that we've learnt disappears
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
Yet unable to reach me
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
(State of flux)
We need to talk
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux


2.The Once And Future King

Well I guess
This will be dismissed
As bitterness
And sour grapes
Champion garage band
With too much time with my own thoughts
It should be my name on their lips
But it's not
And I will wait
For my turn to come round again
And I will wait
However long it takes
However long it takes
See you're gonna
Be the next big thing
All the young girls
You could ever want
I heard your song on the radio
Like a fire-brand on my skin
So the war has begun
A pox on your houses
And I will wait
For my turn to come round again
And I will wait
However long it takes
However long it takes
I say round of applause
I say round of applause
(You're making all the noises whenever he wants)
I say round of applause
I say round of applause
(Objection, overruled)
Passive yet aggressive
Drunk on schadenfreude
Success has been cruel to me
My time will come again
And I will wait
For my turn to come round again
And I will wait


3.Emma Kate's Accident

And you will say you did it to yourself
And you will say you fell down the stairs
And you will say you walked into a door
And you will say you have two left feet
And you will say it was your own fault
And you will lie but I know the truth
There's a difference
in loving and being in love
When we talk now I listen for the truth
In your lies and we're doing so good
How your heart still belongs to him
There's a difference
in loving and being in love
