Bloc Party. - One Month Off Lyrics






Well there were 7 years between us seems that all my friends were right
That we can't survive on your bedroom eyes and a Spanish guitar
When we started this it was paradise, not just Bethnal green
And it's just not right this waiting game, making a cuckold of me

I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
If you need time...

And it's just not like me to lash out, but enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do that I cant
Translucent and sun bleached skin, when did you get so LA
How can you desert me after all we've been through
Stuck on a dream that somewhere its better
You'll be the one missing out

I can be a cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies

Lies

If you need time...

  64. J.... ....

    this is pretty good live

  65. S.... ....

    some fairy tales somehow don't last 4evur... :(

  66. S.... ....

    hope you got rights to the footage from Ray Harryhausen! The creator of the original animation. Some how I can't imagine you did as Ray wouldn't care for this "Re-Mix" but I on the other hand found it well done and pretty original on its on.

  67. Z.... ....

    damn right!

  68. M.... ....

    Do not like the video at all. That kind of animation freaks the shit out of me.

  69. S.... H....

    Soo the russians killed humptey dumptey!!! lol jks!

  70. C.... ....

    I think its about the destruction of innocence

  71. D.... T....

    The video, to my eyes, is putting forward the notion that the modern age, the age of machines and surveilance, is destroying the past. Not the past as an actual place, but the past as we imagine it, and as a place from which to draw meaning for our contemporary age. It is saying, through destroying the fairy tales that previous generations have grown up with in the West, that all we have is the present, and the present is ugly, war torn, and meaningless--or, like, whatever.

  72. n.... ....

    awesome vid ....you all seem to be missing the point!

  73. M.... R....

    wtf your weireedddddddddddd

  74. H.... ....

    Love this song :D:D
    Bloc Party <3

  81. o.... ....

    its little miss muffet dude

  82. R.... G....

    2:17 to 2:35 sounds like the intro of banquet...

  83. S.... I....

    No they instruments are electirc.

  84. p.... ....

    what? do they sing about robots and breakdancing in the other songs?

  85. S.... I....

    This is the only nice song on the album. I don't like all the electro, It's too different then their previous albums.

  86. S.... ....

    Its an American M60 Patton MBT just checked it on wikipedia.

  87. m.... ....

    what are you talking about..
    they are not a russian tanks you idiot.

  88. m.... ....

    this is what happens when you piss of the US....everyone must die.

  89. P.... F....

    nice vid and brillo song.. (:

  90. j.... ....

    i saw them on thursday in boston, they played this, it is so much better live, its already great, but live its awesome

  91. P.... i....

    The video is great. The song is almost alright but I just CAN'T STAND the way he says 'fighting lies with lies', it sounds so forced and insincere. It makes the chorus sound like it's cut too short and ruins the possibility of it being especially catchy.

  92. k.... ....

    bomb show

  93. b.... b....

    this song rocks but it isn't very popular. here in belgium it is very popular :D one of the best songs of intimacy i think. this song has to be viewed alot more

  94. F.... ....

    if u listen to the lyrics it matches the actions in the video ;)

  95. s.... ....

    Agreed, found it weird too

  96. L.... H....

    you have to admit they're getting closer to rave music though. and with songs such as mercury its no suprise people are having second thoughts on this band. however I do actually like this song upon second hearing. but I would greatly prefer it if they would go back to songs like helicopter and banquet ect. just my opinion, which I'm expressing

  97. T.... W....

    there is no line.

    music is expression.

    a band's fan demographic does not influence their sound

    Silent alarm is my favorite. but intimacy DESTROYS a weekend inthe city.

    this album seems to merge their sound quite well to their past.

    so quit whining and enjoy this band.

  98. D.... ....

    terrible video good band and song

  99. X.... ....

    fighting fire with fire wood i get the messege, and what else does it say fighting life with lives? i get what there trying to convay.

  100. L.... H....

    there's a line and they've nearly crossed it!
