The Once And Future King Lyrics


Bloc Party The Once And Future King


Well I guess
This will be dismissed
As bitterness
And sour grapes

Champion garage band
With too much time with my own thoughts
It should be my name on their lips
But it's not

And I will wait
For my turn to come round again
And I will wait
However long it takes
However long it takes

See you're gonna
Be the next big thing
All the young girls
You could ever want

I heard your song on the radio
Like a fire-brand on my skin
So the war has begun
A pox on your houses

And I will wait
For my turn to come round again
And I will wait
However long it takes
However long it takes

I say round of applause
I say round of applause
(You're making all the noises whenever he wants)

I say round of applause
I say round of applause
(Objection, overruled)

Passive yet aggressive
Drunk on schadenfreude
Success has been cruel to me
My time will come again

And I will wait
For my turn to come round again
And I will wait
