Instrumental Intro

Verse 1
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
I've been paid, I've been paid
I've been lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
I've been paid, I've been weighed, I've been

Verse 2
Don't get offended if I seem absent-minded
Just keep telling me facts and keep making me smile
And don't get offended if I seem absent-minded
I get tongue-tied
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I will be yours

Bridge
I'll pay for you anytime
I'll pay for you anytime

Verse 3
And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Jump right
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never known what's good for me and
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
I will be yours
What are you holding out for?
What's always... (In the way?)
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared... (Of romance?)

Chorus
This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me
This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me

Instrumental Break

Outro
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts
Throw your arms around me

Bloc Party

A four-piece indie rock band from London and its surrounding areas, Bloc Party gained success with their debut album Silent Alarm, and have continued to have enduring popularity throughout the 00’s. The band originally consisted of frontman Kele Okereke alongside Russell Lissack, Matt Tong and Gordon Moakes.

Their fourth album, Four, was released in 2012 after a lengthy hiatus, and the Nextwave Sessions EP followed shortly afterwards. After another hiatus and the departure of Tong and Moakes, the band brought in new members Justin Harris and Louise Bartle, and in January 2016 they released their fifth album, HYMNS. In October Bloc Party released their first single “Stunt Queen” composed by the new lineup.
