Bloc Party. - Hero Lyrics






Another bad day, waste of promise
Are we really getting near?
Kick off your work shoes, rest a little
There's nothing for you to prove

Is it funny or is it sad?
We leave and enter on our own
Is it funny or is it sad?
We never really know anyone

I'm telling you my only secret
I'm so lonely, she said
I'm waiting for a hero to save the day
A heaviness so relentless
An emptiness so monumental
I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

Across the sea I can hear you're tired
What is there left to see?

A smash of keyboard into their faces
A silence so satisfying
I can understand why you left your home
I can understand

I'm telling you my only secret
I'm so lonely, she said
I'm waiting for a hero to save the day
A heaviness so relentless
An emptiness so monumental
I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

Cause we're twenty, twenty, twenty-two
Bleeding stars, stars and happy thoughts
Cause we're twenty, twenty, twenty-two
Waiting for the rain, the rain to stop

Cause I'm a boy and you're a girl
And what else is there in this world?
I can make you smile, I can make you laugh
What else is there in this world?

So take my hand and marry me
I'll make your branches sprout a-green
I can make you smile, I can make you laugh
What else is there in this world?

And if you take my hand
I'll lead you to the promise land
Just call in sick, our time is now
I've got so much love to give
A vessel to receive it
Take the day off work
Our time is now
Our time is now

    type this on every bloc party video so hopefully they see it. ''Bloc Party you are an awesome band, so please get back together and give us a banging fourth album'' Come on guys lets make it happen. I love Bloc so much and know all their songs, but I want some fresh stuff with a new but good old Bloc Party sound. In 2012 will we see their return?... I hope so. Paste that message up the top onto as many Bloc videos as you can, and together we''ll unite to see out favourite band return one again
