Bloc Party is great. There old stuff, there new stuff. Even if you favor the old stuff better, their new stuff is certainly better than most other band's stuff regardless. Besides, good music is good music.
@zreidsnider Yeah nostalgia does that. But imagine how bored everyone would be if bands put out the same album every time. I agree, the newer stuff is also great.
Well, as with all songs, I think you predict it as you wish. If it means something different to someone else, that's ok. But the lyrics give it away. He's personifying HIV/ AIDS.
Have a look and try seeing from that perspective, eg 'No boat nor bridge, Nor crucifix can hold it back' It's a disease, can't escape or cure it. 'You saddened my freinds and claimed all my lovers' His freinds are upset, he may die, and his lovers all have it or have died from it. Etc :) have a look, it fits.
awesome album, got th extended version defiantly worth getting instead of the CD. it's great. catchy lyrics and a good beat, at least its not gone along with many 'indie' bands and ended up playing shit pop. do you agree?

what the funk is your problem, you guys, come on, bring back that laid down guitar post punk funk, shit, what the hell man , this is some pop pussy shit , its too bloody electronic, for the people who listen to pussy music. No, you can't do this, bring back that shit please , sheesh why don tyou do the stuff that made you famous in the first place, not the stuff that made you popular
kele sings in the first verse : And in the dark it comes for me Malevolent and without thought Uprooting trees, destroying cars Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched So thats why he's running in the dark. then he says : You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers This explains why russel/gordon/matt (which are friends ) just stay...and then the man,at the end, run away because 1. he is his lover 2. he is like kele, running away. no?
and what about the song meaning, i think he is singing about nastiness, insensitiveness, self-importance ... about all the things he could have done
so when he says "i want you to be calm, you're such a slut" it's for himself. You know, when you realize that you have been wrong or cruel, you say that kind of stuff to yourself =p
im so happy, i did not know this song til today, it's like a brand new from their upcoming album, but it is not. fuck me, i love it:)

so when he says "i want you to be calm, you're such a slut" it's for himself. You know, when you realize that you have been wrong or cruel, you say that kind of stuff to yourself =p

"And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I didnt think Id catch fire when I held my hand to the flame
And I didnt think it would catch up as fast as I could have run
Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way
A new disease came in the post for me today"
he didnt realize when he was cruel, arrogant that fate will catch him. He didnt think that it all will have serious consequences
