Bloc Party Lyrics

"This Modern Love" lyrics


To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
I've been paid
I've been paid

Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts
And keep making me smile
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied
Baby, you've got to be more
discerning
I've never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more
demanding
I will be yours

I'll pay for you anytime

You told me you wanted to eat up
my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge
away
You told me you wanted to eat up
my sadness
Jump right on
Baby, you've got to be more
discerning
I've known never known what's good
for me
Baby, you've got to be more
demanding
I will be yours

What are you holding out for?
What's always in the way?
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared of romance?

This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me

Do you wanna come over and kill
some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill
some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill
some time?
Throw your arms around me.
