Bloc Party. - The Prayer Lyrics






Lord give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies thrown in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what's mine

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

  2. N.... B....

    Inspired by Suede's "The Power"

  3. S.... P....

    I’m a 40something woman in 2019 and you have no idea how often this song pops into my head as I try to bluff my way through life.

    S.... P....

    Im a man in 20s i thought i was only 1, way to rock✌!!

  4. k.... k....

    need for speed ❤️

  5. A.... S....

    This makes me miss my party days! The things is I didn’t know when to stop I needed more and more and more till it wasn’t fun anymore and I had to Stop

  6. R.... C....

    pro street?

  7. J.... T....

    Kele has a stutter, so it could be that the drugs help him stutter less and make him feel unstoppable (this is also mentioned in the song On).

  8. F.... L....

    Yeah i love your song. 2:15 to 2:27 yaaaah

  9. D.... M....

    Who else heard this on the preview for Smallville's Season 6 episode Nemesis in 2007?

  10. g.... r....

    It's unbelievable that a lot of BP remix has fare more views compare to the original version.

  11. I.... ....

    Ryan Cooper!!!

  12. M.... B....

    mega rolota!!

  13. A.... K....

    The chorus makes this song

  14. L.... B....

    2:07 years and years later and this part still transfixes me.

  15. M.... M....

    200k views..what in the world?

  16. M.... T....

    Man im 54..love this song.. Mabey too much cough syrup for me. Haha. Bring it on. Love this song.my fav girl.. Well. Girl with rat blond hair was great.. But nerd shy girl with dark hair bangs.. Hey she was a cutie

  17. A.... C....

    I first heard this music video when it came out 9 years ago. i was 17. Didnt realize they were all on acid lol.

  18. A.... T....

    Was totally into this song while playing PGR 4. Still gives me the goosebumps. The humming in the beginning, the lyrics, the guitar solo, everything is great. Pretty freaky video as well. Thanks for sharing!

  19. A.... M....

    2019 AND STILL MY FAVORITE!

  20. S.... G....

    I had a lot on my plate and had chemical assistance for business use when this was radio played in daytime - it would fill my head ( the tune) and I’d picture the narrative which was unusually direct ( for want of better ) in describing a common theme to us all I guess , But had never been put so brilliantly to suit 7” single time . Ten yrs later I’m watching this for first time and my druggie interpretation back then was exactly what the band meant after all - These fellas are as clever and original in style as Van Der Graff Generator were back in 1969. Genius stuff - hope they are being appreciated in 2019 and if their creative juices did dry up , the album serves as testament to real accessible but non mainstream music.

  21. K.... ....

    how is this not a famous song wtf 143k views that it

    K.... ....

    It is in a need for speed game.

  22. B.... B....

    A weekend in the city was an extrodinary album. One of the best album of the 00s.

    B.... B....

    Burn Bobquist loved that album!

  23. j.... d....

    God I haven’t heard this in ages . Love it 😍

  24. S.... S....

    2018 this is still a tune 🤟🏻

  25. S.... M....

    This song hits, when you require alcohol or drugs to escape reality and let loose somewhere and feel invincible for a moment. TONIGHT MAKE ME UNSTOPPABLE! I feel that some nights boozed up lol

  26. S.... ....

    NHL 2k8

  27. T.... A....

    Kuvshinov Ilya ❤

  28. M.... R....

    Project Gotham Racing 4 & Need For Speed Pro Street

  29. s.... ....

    They would be huge if they sold their soul like the weekend did

    s.... ....

    They were huge.

  30. H.... O....

    fuck the games or movies!! i am here because i like Block Party from the beginning!!!

  31. B.... G....

    This song man. Something about the hopefulness of the lyrics contrasted with nervous behavior and fleeting escapism of drugs is too true. Going out always treads the same territory. Anticipation, hopefulness, brief happiness, coming down, reality. Weekend in the city does these themes justice. I love you bloc party. x

    B.... G....

    Definitely bro, have a good one man.

    B.... G....

    You said everything :0

  32. A.... B....

    Still love this song. Whenever it comes on...I fuck it up on the dancefloor!!!

  33. D.... ....

    Is this song about social anxiety, or is it about craving a high (cocaine) whilst bored with friends?

    D.... ....

    Dean Quinn I don't know bro

    D.... ....

    I'm willing to bet the video tries to tackle those issues, but the song meaning it's really straight forward on exploring in oneself.

    D.... ....

    Anxiety, neuroticism, substance abuse and escapism!

  34. M.... C....

    I used to like the remixes. But now im just in love with the original

    M.... C....

    Matheus Caiaffa so I’m not the only one who is revisiting Bloc Party. Man I miss them so much. And my childhood

  35. A.... R....
