Bloc Party. - Song For Clay (Disappear Here) lyrics

rate me

I am trying to be heroic

In an age of modernity

I am trying to be heroic

Because all around me history sings

So I enjoyed and I devoured

Flesh and wine and luxury

But in my heart

I am lukewarm

Nothing ever really touches me

At Les Trois Garçons

We meet at precisely 9 o'clock

I order the foie gras

And I eat it with complete disdain

Bubbles rise in champagne flutes

But when we kiss, I feel nothing

Feasting on sleeping pills

And Marlboro Reds

(So busy won't save you)

Oh how our parents

They suffered for nothing

Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream

Like the 80s never happened

People are afraid, are afraid

To merge on the freeway

Disappear here

Stroll the pier

Into the magazine launch party

I am handed a pill

And I swallow with complete disdain

Kick-drum bangs off the high-hat

Remember to look bored

We suck each others' faces

And make sure we are noticed

(Cocaine won't save you)

Because East London is a vampire

It sucks the joy right out of me

How we long for corruption in these golden years

Oh how our parents

They suffered for nothing

Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream

Like the 80s never happened

People are afraid, are afraid

To merge on the freeway

Disappear here [x4]
