'Flux'...the lyrics
If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off, cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you
There is lightning in this room
Above our heads, waiting to strike
I'm a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux
I'd kill for an adventure
Just you and I, in the ?
Dancing till we knew
So all that we've learnt disappears
When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
Yet unable to reach me
We were hoping for some romance...
(State of flux)
We need to talk
We were hoping for some romance...

Cavaliers and Roundheads...the lyrics
Whilst most bands are happy to churn out a couple duff tracks to keep on the right side of their record company, Bloc Party seem incapable of releasing a b-side which is anything less than breathtaking. The pattern continues with 'Cavaliers and Roundheads', available now on the 'Hunting For Witches' CD single (or by downloading here). This track is a return to old-skool Bloc...razor-sharp riffs, a copious amount of "Hey"s and an addictive chorus à la 'Little Thoughts'. There's also a very impressive Strokes-esque guitar solo (see especially 'First Impressions Of Earth') which is worth the CD price alone.
Here are the (incomplete) lyrics...please post your corrections/additions in the comments section!
Three is evil
The most evil of all the numbers
Coarse and hateful
Full of unrest and neglect
(Hey!)
When they get here
You become someone else
Cruel and distant
A Cavalier to my Roundhead
And as you make
Your pretty speech
(Hey!)
?
(Like the serious)
With reason drowned by toxic thoughts
I'm going to the dark side 'cause...
Sometimes I want to hurt you
I want reparations
The ? with your blood
I want the limelight back
I want it back
There is no reason to pretend
That we are closer than this
(Hey!)
For I know that you know that I know that you know
I would rather claw out your eyes
With reason drowned...
Sometimes I want to hurt you...
I want reparations...
Sometimes I want to hurt you...
I want reparations...
