Bloc Party - Talons (Live at Later...)

Bloc Party performing 'Talons' at 'Later with Jools Holland'.

21/10-08

And in the dark it comes for me
Malevolent and without form
Uprooting trees, destroying cars
Cold and relentless with arms outstretched

No bolt nor brick
Nor crucifix can hold it back
I have been wicked
I have been arrogant

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
Silent and velvet
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
When it comes it will feel like a kiss

Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes
You've saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers
I try to stay still so it will not see me
Its talons rake the side of my face
Oh when did you become
Such a slut?

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss...

And I didn't think I'd 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

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes

@punkrockedlastnight deleted them, totally forgot i even commented on this video

@skidooshbag delete your comments bro. And I don't know what these people expected from a dick named skidooshbag. And what's that about you not believing you liked Bloc Party? Runescape nerds? in two comments? wtf dude. you got issues. Just don't expect to bash on Bloc Party or any of it's members and come out untouched.

@skidooshbag Wow, I totally respect that your taste in music has changed, and you find yourself not believing you listened to and enjoyed such a band at one point. But some of us can see past just what is actually being played. We can absorb the musical content. The message, if you will. And that is as strong in Bloc Party as when SA first came out, stronger even. But my point is we all have our musical opinions, that is irrelevant. But why the fuck did you have to bring up 9/11????

Intimacy > Silent Alarm > Weekend In The City

They're still all awesome albums, I just hate people preaching to me that Silent Alarm is the best. Bloc Party is all about evolution.
