Little Thoughts

Bloc Party Little Thoughts Lyrics
1.Little Thoughts

Lyrics:Kele Okereke

Been thinking little thoughts
Keep on walking try to stand up
Pay attention to the details
We go slowly, slowly down

I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
Backwards

This world ain't just made of facts
Every half hour is a countdown
If it's because of my age then you're a coward
If it's because of my age then you're a coward
If it's because of my age then you're a coward
I haven't got the guts to stand alone

I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
Backwards


2.Tulips

Lyrics:Kele Okereke

When you said tulips
I knew that you're mine
When I caught you there
Crying in the night
Wearing my jacket
Wearing that smile
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity

Were you unawares?
Did it catch you out?
Or did it break you in
Right from the start?
It's as pure as fire
It's as pure as snow
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity

If you promise to let it
If you promise to let it grow

'Cause you're the one I love


3.Storm And Stress

Lyrics:Kele Okereke/Gordon Moakes

Promise you'll say if it gets
Promise you'll say if it gets too much
Don't be so scared of corners
Don't be so tired of this life

You drink to laugh
You drink to cry
You wear me in
You wear me

You really suffer for it
You really suffer for your art
Don't be a martyr for it
Don't be a martyr for the cause
Your eyes tell it
Your eyes tell the truth

You drink to laugh...

You're not always
You're not always right

A new fight for a last rite
A new fight for a last rite
You can fight a new fight
You can fight, it's alright

You're the life of the party
You make my world spin around

The first time is the next time
This time is the last time
And this time is the last time
'Cause this time I will fight

You're not always right


4.Helicopter

Lyrics:Kele Okereke/Gordon Moakes

North to South
Empty
Running on
Bravado
As if to say, as if to say
As if to say he doesn't like chocolate
He's born a liar, he'll die a liar
Some things will never be different

Stop being so American
There's a time and there's a place
So James Dean
So blue jeans
He's gonna save the world
He's gonna

Are you hoping for a miracle?

Three out of five, three out of five (it's not enough)
Six out of ten
Better luck next time
Just like his Dad, just like his Dad (the same mistakes)
Some things will never be different
Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb (so wait in line)
Queuing up for some more junk food
It's not my fault, it's not my fault (just this once)
They're getting so much younger

Why can't you be more European?
Bastard child of guilt and shame
Bury your head in the sand
I'm thinking six, six, six
I'm thinking six

Are you hoping for a miracle?
(It's not enough)


5.Skeleton

All my thoughts are all lies
All my thoughts are all lies
All my bones are so tired
All my bones are so tired
So young and so handsome
So easily led
They told me to wait
I said

It makes a man out of me
You take the fun out of me

And I've been consistent to the fucking dream
And I've paid my dues
Just to get them all back
A simple man with simple desire

What should I have said?
What should I have done?
The horses are here
The damage is done
So just take off your shirt
And just take off your dress
We can go dancing
On a Saturday

It makes a man out of me
You take the fun out of me

And I've been consistent...

I'm just a skeleton

And I've been consistent...

I'm just a skeleton


6.Tulips(Minotaur Shock Remix)

Lyrics:Kele Okereke

When you said tulips
I knew that you're mine
When I caught you there
Crying in the night
Wearing my jacket
Wearing that smile
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity

Were you unawares?
Did it catch you out?
Or did it break you in
Right from the start?
It's as pure as fire
It's as pure as snow
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity

If you promise to let it
If you promise to let it grow

'Cause you're the one I love

Lyrics:Kele Okereke

Been thinking little thoughts

We go slowly, slowly down

I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
Backwards

This world ain't just made of facts
Every half hour is a countdown
If it's because of my age then you're a coward
If it's because of my age then you're a coward
If it's because of my age then you're a coward
I haven't got the guts to stand alone

I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
