Bloc Party - Uniform (Live Glastonbury 2007)

Bloc Party - Uniform (Live Glastonbury 2007) with lyrics...

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
All the young people looked the same
Wearing their masks of cool and disinterest
Commerce dressed up as rebellion

Because we are so handsome and we are so bored
So entertain us, tell me a joke
Make it long, make it last forever
Make it cruel just make me laugh
We can't be hurt

Drink to forget your blues on the weekend
Think about more things to buy
The TV taught me how to sulk and to love nothing
And how to grow my hair long

So why do you go picking fights that you will lose?
(When u have entertainment, when give you things to pass the time)
So why do you have to go thinking thoughts that are above you?
(You can be happy, just play dumb x2)

Well I was brave
And unique,
Intelligent,
A snowflake
I could have been a hero
No-one can be trusted over the age of 14
Tattoo our arms
Converse shoes
Cynical
But we still do it
We tell ourselves that we're different
I've gotten so good at lying to myself
All, all my pain and honour is used up
All my guns are rusted
So when are you going to realise those are not your wrongs to right
Have another line, have another drink
(Pop songs won't change the government)

I am a martyr I just need a motive
I am a martyr I just need a cause
I'm a believer I just need to a moment
I'm a believer I just need a cause
We're finding it hard to break the mould
We are finding it so hard to be alone
We're finding it hard to have time by ourselves
We have nothing at all to say

Uniform

There was a sense of disappointment as we sped away
All the teenagers looked the same

(Thanks to Rosa Mannen!)

Kinseychris, have you HEARD "Silent Alarm"?

Its perfect. Seriously.

I've learned to love AWITC, but Silent Alarm will go down in history as one of the finest debut albums of all time.

Hopefully. :P

[WoolyJoe]

Perfection, thy name is Bloc Party

[Eilz96]

I think this song is the best one on AWITC, along with Song for Clay. Why they didn't choose them as singles i'll never know

[allhailhomer]

love it

[Bolancity]

Excellent performance of a very good track.

[TastierxDylxBar]

My favorite Bloc Party song from my favorite Bloc Party CD!

[supasyd23]

i love bloc party!

i'm surprised they did this live!

[giaboni]

personally, i find it hard to pick my favourite album.

lyrically, i think this song is bloc party's best work.

musically, it's fantastic except that it takes a long time to get to the pick-up, and stagnation sets in.

but other than that, easily top 5 fave bloc party song.

[shawry41]

hmm i disagree with everyone on this one.

i really prefer intimacy.

silent alrm is perfection however i like the variation of styles in intimacy. same with awitc but too many fo the songs are smilar e.g on kruzeberg uniform.

PERFECTION THY NAME IS BLOC PARTY

[BurialWarlock]

Everyone has there own opinions. I prefer Silent Alarm but this is still my favourite song.Perfection thy name is Bloc Party
