Bastille - Exile
I can see you standing, honey
With his arms around your body
Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holdin' all this love out here in the hall
★ Chorus ★
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
★ Post-Chorus ★
Ooh, ooh, ooh
★ Verse 2 ★
I can see you starin', honey
Like he's just your understudy
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancin' on brеaking branches
Those eyеs add insult to injury
★ Chorus ★
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leaving out the side door
★ Bridge ★
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out
You never gave a warning sign (so many)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind
I couldn't turn things around
'Cause you never gave a warning (gave so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs
You didn't even see the signs
★ Chorus ★
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side door
★ Outro ★
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out
You never gave a warning sign (so many)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind
I couldn't turn things around
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs

Biography
Someone recently said to us: ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label said: ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.
Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
Bad Blood was released in March 2013 and reissued as All This Bad Blood in November that year to include bonus tracks and the Other People’s Heartache mixtapes.
In 2014, the band released VS. (Other People’s Heartache Pt. III).
In September 2016, the band released their hotly anticipated sophomore album, Wild World.
In June 2019 the band has released their 3rd studio album Doom Days, which was described by Dan as an “apocalyptic party album.” An extended version of the album was then released in December of 2019.
The band consists of lead singer Dan Smith, keyboardist Kyle Simmons, bassist and guitarist Will Farquarson, and drummer Chris “Woody” Wood.
