Lights Out Words Gone
Bombay Bicycle Club Lyrics

Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned

These lies and made them all burn
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned

These lies and made them all burn

Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy that she took out tonight

He's brave and walking sure
Through all the spots you're working for
When the light is out and words have gone
Let me be the one to try it on

Keep your old and wasted words

Keep your old and wasted words

Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy that she took out tonight
He's brave and walking sure
Through all the spots you're working for

Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard

These lies and made them all burn

Let me be the one to try it on

This song makes me feel like I'm out in my garden, laying on the grass with my hands under my head and enjoying a beautiful full moon. I have no age, no identity, I'm just laying there, lost in contemplation. This song stops time.

Man when I first heard this song, I was thought it was so chill, I immediately fell in love. Then when I watched the music video, I don't know why but I just feel like crying?? Nonetheless this song is so good. It's kinda hard to describe this song, but I can't compare it to anything I've ever heard before.

@Jason Moorehe was killed in his apartment and hidden in a plastic container :( wasn't found for 3 weeks. I had sent Terry the music before then though... now every time I hear it I cry and watching this video I some time imagine when I dance around my living room to it that he's dancing with me. He was my big brother and LOVED to dance and sing. We shared music all the time. The lyrics "Words have gone" he could no longer speak. Thank you for your comment. God Bless

The only problem I have with this band is that when I tell people I love BBC they either think I'm talking about the British Broadcast channel or the other sexual thing lol, I miss these indie days when there were so many great bands with this happy indie sound! If you are looking for similar new song with this sound you should check out Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, it's seriously one of the best new songs I've heard in a while and is a super upbeat indie track

all sounds of this song send me to the places in my mind where all is nature, woods, trees, lagoons, rivers, where i´m going walking alone, in a day with a great and melancholic sunset, that make me feel nostalgic and happy, for the past future and present, make me feel hope and then... some many tears flooding my eyes.

Brings tears to my eyes for some reason. I think it's the vulnerability and exposure of yourself that dancing provides, mixed with the various races of people, all connecting through music and letting themselves be taken by it. It is happiness and enjoyment at its most basic form and to see the world forget their differences for a moment and rejoice together in dance is very humbling.
