One Month Off - Bloc Party

Well, there were seven years between us

Seems that all my friends were right

That we can’t survive on your bedroom eyes

And a Spanish guitar

When we started this it was paradise

Not just Bethnal Green

And it’s just not right this waiting game

Making a cuckold of me

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting fire with firewood

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting lies with lies

(If you need time)

And it’s just not like me to lash out

But enough is enough

Tell me what the others can do

That I can’t

Translucent and sun-bleached skin, yeah

When did you get so LA?

How can you desert me after

What we’ve been through?

Stuck on a dream that somewhere it’s better

You’ll be the one missing out

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting fire with firewood

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting lies with lies

(If you need time)

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting fire with firewood (if you need time)

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting lies with lies

If you need time, time, time

Time, time, time

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting fire with firewood

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting lies with lies

(If you need time)

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting fire with firewood (if you need time)

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting lies with lies

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting fire with firewood

I can be as cruel as you

Fighting lies with lies

Fighting lies with lies, with lies, with lies

Fire with, fire, fire with, firewood, wood

Lies, lies, lies, lies
