Bloc Party "Flux"

You know those songs that start out amazing, and you are immediately infatuated? BUT then when you learn the lyrics it even more amazing???? Well this is that song for me. I probably heard this song like 50 times before I got around to finding out the lyrics and here I am today , very impressed with them. So much that I decided to share with you and see how you enjoy it too.



"Flux"(Lyrics)

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
Im a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

Id kill for an adventure
Just you and I in the Curzon Bar
Dancing till we knew
So all that we've learnt disappeared
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
But yet unable to reach me

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a State of Flux

State of Flux [x9]

We need to talk [x5]

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux
