Virtue
Bloc Party Lyrics
Temptation hides
In the space between
Lord, help me fight
This desire for fire
Words can cleanse and purify
Or tear down a pack of lies
In your presence, consequence
I can't stop trembling
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
For all my good fortune
I would change my place with you
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
Once in a while
The urge resurfaces
So we split hairs
As rumours circulate
And there's a need to fertilise
Behind my lover's trusting eye
Like water drops on burning warts
I can't stop trembling
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
For all my good fortune
I would change my place with you
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen
In the space between
Lord, help me fight
This desire for fire
Words can cleanse and purify
Or tear down a pack of lies
In your presence, consequence
I can't stop trembling
For all of my virtue
For all my good fortune
I would change my place with you
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
Once in a while
The urge resurfaces
So we split hairs
As rumours circulate
And there's a need to fertilise
Behind my lover's trusting eye
Like water drops on burning warts
I can't stop trembling
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
For all my good fortune
I would change my place with you
This path will lead us back
Will lead us back to ruin
For all of my virtue
Why can I not hold the truth?
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen

I've fallen
I've fallen again
I've fallen

Took me 3 years to appreciate this song as it is. It's fucking great. No speedup needed.

I would never dedicate that much time for a song to grow on me.

I completely underrated the album when it came out. I'm listening to it now in 2022 realising the majority of the songs are brilliant.

It took me sometime to get back into bloc party with the few changes but I'm glad I committed with loyalty. I love it all. I hope they continue to grow even in the most stubborn soil which they have sown.

Great song and amazing album. You're lost if you can't appreciate it.
Lee Blair
