Bastille - Good Lesson Lyrics

Anyone else think it’s about drugs and not a person? x

THE BEST SONG.

I wonder what it must be like to carry the industry on their back. Really, Bastille, another song I ADORE.

Whomst is this Delilah person

Samson's chick.

This could have made the album but might have been better suited to wild world.

1) Does anyone know who sings the intro (the high notes) to this song?
2) The bass line in the chorus is brilliant!

1) Is it Charlie?

Maria Mor i think so? dan said on twitter charlie "helped stack up a huge gang vocal- like a gospel choir" and seeing as he's credited as "background vocals", it's more than likely him

Is this on doom days

Why did this pop up now? Great video anyway!

Lots of love from Mumbai

So damn good! Glad they released this, because this has become one of my favorites from the album. Anyone know who is singing “you were always stronger than I was”?

I think it’s just dan lol. They tuned his voice probably

according to dan on twitter (and the credits on the audio thing on youtube), it might actually be charlie!

[Intro]
Oh you were always stronger than I was
Oh you were always stronger than I was

[Verse 1]
Oh Delilah
On a summer night, you came for me
My eyes were wide shut, opened my mind
Said you loved me
In the heat of it, I replied
"Drunk lust is blind, love, can't choose your type"

[Refrain]
You were always stronger than I was
Oh, you were always stronger than I was

[Chorus]
I got a good lesson in love
Taught through my bed
Like a wildfire
You showed me
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
Good lesson in love

[Verse 2]
In the morning
With a heavy head, an empty bed
Had a good time, you can't hold a good time
Oh you played me, like I was music made by your hands
Still ringing out and echoing around

[Refrain]
You were always stronger than I was
Oh, you were always stronger than I was

[Chorus]
I got a good lesson in love
Taught through my bed
Like a wildfire
You showed me
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
Good lesson in love

[Bridge]
The weaker you made me, the stronger I felt
The higher you built me, the further I fell
The weaker you made me, the stronger I felt
The higher you built me, the further I fell

[Refrain]
You were always stronger than I was
Oh you were always stronger than I was

[Pre-Chorus]
Cos I got a good lesson in love
I got a good lesson in love
From you, good lesson
Good, good lesson
Good lesson in love

[Chorus]
I got a good lesson in love
Taught through my bed
Like a wildfire
You showed me
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
Good lesson in love

[Outro]
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
(You showed me)
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
(A good, good lesson)
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
(You showed me, you showed me)
(A good lesson in love)

Weird that the last couple of songs are about love. I mean I’ve been a fan since 2014 and virtually none of the songs until 2019 were about relationships lol Dan must’ve been hurt.

have we been listening to the same band? most bastille songs deal with love, one way or another

Javi Martínez I know but not in this wat, these feel a bit more personal. I mean The Streets, Flaws, TWLITF etc. are all about love indeed but not in this way 😜

I've loved deeply in the last 2 yrs. But he will Never look at me again. 😥😿😢😭

xoxo oof, there’s more out there, trust me. Don’t get hung up on it

This is an amazing song love it

2019 return of the legend

Algum BR🇧🇷? Deixo o like 👍

Major Wild World album vibes !

Half of the This Got of Hand songs could be placed in Wild World but its fine they work for Doom Days too nether the less they're all GREAT fking songs from the band

THIS STILL BLOWS MY MIND, THE LYRICS OH MY LORDDDD, MAH HEART CAN'T PROCESS ALL

I don't get the lyrics... Please enlighten me

@bowman hath https://twitter.com/antichiprofumi/status/1203041928121634817?s=19 , if you like to check it here's the original tweet, this BRILLIANT person has the next theories....
"Oh you were always stronger than me / oh Delilah" Dalila, it's a biblic character that seduced Sansone to find out the source of his power ( which it was his HAIR) and weaken him. And following that, he falls in love with her and makes him shave his head (ahem,DAN) so he can be beaten now.
And in the autor of the tweet also adds that DELILAH means the one who weakens " the weaker you made me , the stronger I felt"
