Bloc Party > Silent Alarm (U.S. Version) This Modern Love
Lyrics
(2X)
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 wait
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 known never known what's good for me
Baby you've go to be more demanding
I will be yours
(2X)
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)
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
(Jump left)
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?
(2X)
Ah, ah, ah. This modern love, breaks me
Ah, ah, ah. This modern love, wastes me
(3X)
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts
Tell me facts
Throw your arms around me
