  • Bloc Party performing 'Song for clay' and 'Banquet' with a really nice transition between the two, at Reading Festival 2008.
    I am trying to be heroic in an age of modernity
    I am trying to be heroic as all around me history sinks
    So I enjoy and I devour flesh and wine and luxury
    But in my heart I am lukewarm
    Nothing ever really touches me
    At Les Trois Garcons, we meet at precisely nine o' clock
    I order the foie gras and I eat it with complete distain
    Bubbles rise in champagne flutes
    But when we kiss I feel nothing
    Feasting on sleeping pills and Marlboro Reds
    Self-pity won't save you
    Oh how our parents they suffered for nothing
    Live the dream like the Eighties never happened
    People are afraid to merge on the freeway
    Disappear here
    We stroll past the queue, into the magazine launch party
    I'm handed a pill and I swallow with complete distain
    Kick drum pounds, off-beat hi-hats
    Remember to look bored
    We suck each other's faces and make sure we are noticed
    The cocaine won't save you
    Because East London is a vampire, it sucks the joy right out of me
    How we longed for corruption in these golden years
    Oh how our parents
    Disappear here
    _______________________________
    A heart of stone, a smoking gun
    I can give you life, I can take it away
    A heart of stone, a smoking gun
    I'm working it out
    Why'd you feel so underrated?
    Why'd you feel so negated?
    Turning away from the light
    Becoming adult
    Turning into my soul
    I wanted to bite not destroy
    To feel her underneath
    Turning into the light
    She don't think straight
    She's got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops
    And you don't taste like her and you never ever will
    And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news
    Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled
    Turning away from the light
    Becoming adult
    Turning into my soul
    I wanted to bite not destroy
    To feel her underneath
    Turning into the light
    And if you feel a little left behind
    I will see you on the other side
    'Cause I'm on fire
    I'm on fire when you come
    I'm on fire so stub me out
