Bloc Party Selfish Son Lyrics

Selfish Son Lyrics

I took it too far, I took it too far again

Cut me down

I took it too far, I took it too far again

On the Lower East Side



I took it too far, I took it too far again

Night bleeds into day

I took it too far, I took it too far again

I nearly lost you



I can be cruel, I can be cruel

To you

I can be cruel, I can be cruel

To you, my love



Typical me, typical me brother

Spit the dummy

Typical me, typical me brother

The grass is always green



This city is raised on borrowed time

Taxi meters, police sirens

This city is raised on borrowed time

I nearly lost you



I can be cruel, I can be cruel

To you

I can be cruel, I can be cruel

To you



I can be cruel, I can be cruel

To you

I can be cruel, I can be cruel

To you, my love



Selfish son, selfish brother

  (I can be cruel, I can be cruel)

Selfish friend, selfish lover

  (To you)



Selfish son, selfish brother

  (I can be cruel, I can be cruel)

Selfish life, selfish lover

  (To you)



Selfish son, selfish brother

  (I can be cruel, I can be cruel)

Selfish friend, selfish lover

 (To you)



Selfish son, selfish brother

  (I can be cruel, I can be cruel)

Selfish life, selfish lover

  (To you, my love)
