Biko - Bloc Party




you're not doing it, this


alone

you're not doing


you're not doing this




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




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 grave


We can dance in our front room, again

So, toughen up


Biko, toughen up


Biko, toughen up

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




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

That I can do. 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

You're not doing this


N-n-not

You're not doing this alone

Y-y-you're


You're not doing this

N-n-not

You're not doing this alone

You're not doing this alone


You're...

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

So, toughen up

Resist!

Biko, toughen up

Resist!

Biko, toughen up

Resist!

This world isn't kind

Resist!

to little things



You're not doing this

You're...

You're not doing this
