Foals - Bad Habit Lyrics






I know,
You've fallen again.
The way I fell before.
Cause I'm a bad loser,
When you get your way.

And I know that I'll change.
I'm chained again.
You've lost your way.
There's nothing I want today.

Cause I'm a bad habit.
One you cannot shake.
And I hope that I change.
Don't follow me.
Don't follow me.

So I wont,
let the flowers grow,
Into the deep below.
Oh, would you forget me now?

Still small.
Small voice of calm.
It's the blame into my arms.

Cause I'm a bad habit.
One you cannot shake.
Oh, Mary, mercy!
Would you pray for me?
Would you pray for me?

So I wont,
Let the flowers grow,
Into the deep below.
Oh, would you forget me now?

And if I could,
Make the days of pain.
Wash the stains away.
Oh, would you forget me now?

Ahhhh! [x2]

Cause I made my mistakes.
And I feel something's changed.
And I know what's at stake.
Wash the stains away...

So I wont,
Let the flowers grow,
Into the deep below.
Oh, would you forget me now?

And if I could,
Take the pain away.
Wash the stains away.
Oh, would you forgive me now?

I made my mistakes.
And I feel something's changed.
Wash the stains away.
And I feel quite okay.

  4. d.... ....

    Well, Coldplay popped into my mind when I heard this track. The bands may be different overall, but this track reminded me of them. Should be a genre of music called "Cough Syrup Rock".

    Só eu de BR em 2019 mesmo?

  6. T.... L....

    LYRICS I know
    You've fallen again
    The way I fell before
    Cause I'm a bad loser

    When you get your way
    And I know that I'm chained
    I'm chained again
    And you've lost your way
    To the bed that I once made
    Cause I'm a bad habit
    One you cannot shake
    And I hope that I change
    But don't follow me
    Don't follow me
    Cause if I go
    Where the flowers grow
    Into the deep below
    Would you forget me now?
    Still small
    Small voice of calm
    Place the blame into my arms
    Cause I'm a bad habit
    One you cannot shake

    Oh, Mary mercy!
    Would you pray for me?
    Would you pray for me?

    Cause if I go,
    where the flowers grow,
    into the deep below,
    would you forget me now?

    And if I could
    make the days okay,
    wash the stains away,
    would you forgive me now?

    I've made my mistakes
    and I feel some things changed.
    I know what's at stake.
    Wash the stains away.

    Cause if I go,
    where the flowers grow,
    into the deep below,
    would you forget me now?

    And if I could
    take the pain away,
    wash the stains away,
    would you forgive me now?

    I've made my mistakes
    and I feel somethings change.
    Wash the stains away
    and I feel quite okay.

    I love this !!!!!!!!!!!!! Im actually here because of the Alex Metric remix, but I love this !!! Im not so sure why humans decide to argue and make themselves contrary to each other! Mature a little people. We're here for the music.

    holy shits is my sing is my life

  13. J.... M....

    Its as if he's been struggling with a habit that has been haunting him for years and he doesn't want his loved ones to follow him on that path. This is one of those songs that make it hard to listen to without feeling a bitter-sweet emotion. "Wash the stain away!" Foals

  14. N.... ....

    Oh man, this brings me back.

  15. m.... ....

    great music! Best wishes!

  16. M.... ....

    This song makes me tremendously happy no matter what. Thank you Foals

  17. M.... ....

    This song proves Foals is one of the most underrated bands of the era

  18. S.... B....

    One of the best songs ever written. Definitely one of my all time favorites.

  19. p.... ....

    Foals making me happy

  20. S.... B....

    This makes me smile

  21. c.... l....

    madting what a tb

  22. J.... G....

    This song feels like a bitter-sweet triumph, as if a difficult decision was made but the person involved chose to face the outcome regardless of any regret.

    J.... G....

    That is what I felt too.

    J.... G....

    R U English?  Yo cuz? I see you might be yo cus you stated that so well.

    J.... G....

    Who me? Thanks mate if you mean that regarding myself? I'm am trying to learn Scottish Slang.

  23. G.... G....

    Foals in place of Coldplay, honestly. Keep Bruno and Queen B out of this these guys should be playing Super Bowl 50.

  24. M.... ....

    Would like vocals a bit louder tbh

  25. J.... M....

    This is what humanity gets a an award. I'm enjoying every second of it. :D

    J.... M....

    +John Mat very u2 this song

  26. M.... ....

    Even without the music video, this song makes me feel like I'm in a desert, alone.

    M.... ....

    +Mercutio Every time I hear this song, I start crying. I tried listening to it without shedding a tear. I couldn't do it.

  27. T.... ....

    Why do people keep comparing Coldplay to Foals? It like completely different music. Foals are 100% better though!

    T.... ....

    Burkhard Franz Yes, I meant in the way that people compare them as if they are similar bands (which they really aren't) Should of clarified that my bad.

    T.... ....

    +nelson rosa Coldplay are shite, chief.

    T.... ....

    they are both post mo, poppy rock

    T.... ....

    i can see some similarities but they are both great in their own way.

    T.... ....

    @NCM Services fuck iff

  28. I.... D....

    Coldplay is no match for foals

    I.... D....

    I'm not a fan of Coldplay but I like some songs tho

    I.... D....

    Coldplay is an amazing band. So is Foal. I think coldplay is more popular because its been around for longer? Im not sure. Anyways, they both make different songs. (Although of same gender, they are not the same songs). Lets just give both bands the appreciation they deserve :) It doesn't always have to be a competition.

  29. M.... m....

    My favourite song of theirs! Legends. Sometimes I parallel with the Temper Trap....similar uplifting tones at times.

    M.... m....

    This song followed by Sweet Disposition, amirite?

  30. D.... P....

    Love this song! Best from Holy Fire LP.

  31. S.... H....

    The best off

  32. G.... C....

    So nostalgic, my stomach drops every time I hear this. Especially at 1:04. GAH.

  33. H.... H....

    Lyrics video on my channel for this :)

  34. B.... B....

    3:::::::3

  35. n.... o....

    Foals are magnificent..soaring vocals and great foot tapping tunes and percussion.
    Nothing like Coldplays nursery rhyme songs.

  36. e.... ....

    Who cares

  37. A.... A....

    And if I could make the days of pain wash the stains away
    would you forget me now?

    A.... A....

    so you wouldn't forget me

  38. T.... M....

    cool video too..

    T.... M....

    j'le confirme

  39. T.... M....

    beautifully written song..

  40. H.... F....

    This song is very beautiful.

  41. C.... B....

    Foals are Foals. Thats all!

  42. L.... M....

    homie you trippin

  43. J.... S....

    hahahahahahaha!

  44. A.... J....

    This certainly does not sound like Coldplay, but I love both Foals and Coldplay. I don't see what the big deal is.

  45. J.... W....

    The chorus is magic!

  46. S.... M....

    Love the entire song too! But for me that amazing unreal and magic part is 3:06 to 3:21

    S.... M....

    Silvia Menduni those same 15 seconds have given me chills for five years. You and I share something.

    S.... M....

    You do! A great taste for music 😂

  47. W.... V....

    That feel :(

  48. D.... V....

    jajajja :)

  49. A.... P....

    I'm watching you closely.

  50. l.... ....

    literally climb into a bin bag, and throw yourself into oblivion

  51. K.... D....

    Reverb.

  52. W.... ....

    this is their best song in my opinion

  53. M.... ....

    Whether you want to admit it or not, there are some similarities between the two groups. I wouldn't say they are very similar at all but don't chastise people for noting a similarity. Everyone loves to hate Coldplay but in my opinion they are actually a good group and for being so popular, they are terrific performers/musicians. I can like an indie rock group and be perturbed and put off by the hipsters that listen to the group but I don't take that out on the group.

  54. L.... H....

    bad hobbit

  55. M.... ....

    I don't understand some of these comments.
    I fucking love Foals and I fucking love Coldplay.
    Are some of these foals fans too "hip" for Coldplay? Because we all know being a hispter means fuck all.

  56. j.... ....

    i can't believe you said that

  57. S.... B....

    There would be nothing wrong with that. It doesnt though...

  58. g.... ....

    I still don't understand why this band is so hyped. I don't hear anything special in them - this song sounds like Coldplay would be if the drummer sings.

    g.... ....

    Your watching them and commenting I'd say it's 1 -0 to foals

  59. V.... ....

    Дякую за дивовижні пісні!

  60. B.... ....

    this song is just amazing. It's instantly become one of my all time favourite Foals tracks. Wow.

  61. M.... C....

    Esta bueno !

  62. C.... ....

    very cool

  63. M.... C....

    Perfect.

  64. B.... C....

    great band for roadtripping mwaaa!!!!

  65. M.... B....

    Holy Fire is better than TLF.

    M.... B....

    Put Miami and Blue Blood on this and we'll talk.

  66. I.... M....

    holy fire brought me here!

  67. A.... ....

    It's sounds like Coldplay :D

  68. D.... E....

    SIETE DEI FIGHI

  69. N.... R....

    Made In Chelsea brought me here <3

    N.... R....

    Nadja R It often takes me to great places, too

  70. R.... A....
