Bloc Party - Biko (Lyrics)

04Biko.jpg


BIKO

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it in your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Was my love not strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grey
And we can dance in our front room again

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Don't you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
(You're not doing this alone)
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do

So toughen up,
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
I need you to be strong for us

So toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Resist!
Resist!
Resist!
Resist!

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
I need you to be strong for us (Resist! )

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
This world isn't kind to little things (Resist! )

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

NIN 'We're in this Together' Lyrics


We're in This Together


I've become impossible

holding on to when

when everything seemed to matter more

the two of us

all used and beaten up

watching fate as it flows

down the path we have chose




You and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

You and me

if the world should break in two

until the very end of me

until the very end of you




Awake to the sound

as they peel apart the skin

they pick and they pull

trying to get their fingers in

well they've got to kill what we've found

well they've got to hate what they fear

well they've got to make it go away

well they've got to make it disappear




The farther I fall I'm beside you

as lost as I get I will find you

the deeper the wound I'm inside you

for ever and ever I am a part of...




You and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

You and me

if the world should break in two

until the very end of me

until the very end of you




All that we were is gone we have to hold on

all that we were is gone we have to hold on

all that we were is gone we have to hold on

all that we were is gone

but we can hold on.....




You and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

You and me

even after everything

you're the queen and I'm the king

nothing else means anything
