Blue Blood
Foals Lyrics
You've got blue blood on your hands
I think it's my own
We can go down to the streets
And follow the shores
Of all the people
We could be two
Then I bite my nails to the quick
Run back home
You've got blue blood on your hands
You came at me in the midnight
To show me my soul
Of all the people
I hoped it'd be you
To come and free me, take me away
To show me my home
Where I was born
Where I belong
'Cause you've got blue blood on your hands
I want you to know
I hoped you'd come and take me away
Back to my home
Of all the people
It had to be you
Then I bite my nails to the quick
Run back home
You showed me where to go
To my home, to my home
So take me through the roads
That you know to my home
You've got blue blood on your hands
I know it's my own
You came at me in the midnight
To show me my soul
You showed me where to go
To my home, to my home
So take me through the roads
That you know to my home
Come with me, accept it, affect it, protect it (you showed me)
Come with me, accept it, so now you know (where to go, to my home)
Come with me, accept it, affect it, protect it (to my home, you showed me)
Come with me accept it, so now you know (where to go, to my home)
To my home
You showed me where to go
To my home, to my home
So take me through the roads
That you know, that you know
That you know
To my home
So take me through the roads
That you know where you know
You showed me where to go, to my home
Come with me, accept it, affect it, protect it
Come with me, accept it, so now you know
Come with me, accept it, affect it, protect it
Come with me, accept it, so now you know
You've got the blood on your hands
I know it's my own
We can go down to the streets
And follow the shores
Of all the people
I hoped it'd be you
You showed me my way back home
To where I was born
Where I belong
Where I belong

In January 2018, it was announced that Walter Gervers (bass) was leaving the band.
The band was formed in 2005 by Philippakis and Bevan, both former members of math rock band The Edmund Fitzgerald, and Andrew Mears of Youthmovies. Mears left the band after their first single to focus on Youthmovies. In January 2018, it was announced that Walter Gervers was also leaving the band.
In early 2007, the band released the limited edition 7" singles Hummer and Mathletics, both produced by Gareth Parton. In the summer of 2007 Foals began working on their debut album in New York. It was produced by Dave Sitek of TV On The Radio, however, the band decided to mix the album themselves, stating that Sitek made the first master copy of the album sound like "it was recorded in the Grand Canyon". Yannis has stated multiple times during various interviews that Foals and Dave Sitek are on good terms, even though the copy by Sitek was rejected by the band.
Foals released their debut album, entitled Antidotes, on 24 March 2008 in the UK and 8 April 2008 in the US. The album was a commercial success in the United Kingdom, debuting at No. 3 in the UK Albums Charts. The album was a minor success in other countries, charting in Japan, France and the Netherlands. Non-UK versions of the album include the early Parton produced singles.
In August 2009, Foals started recording their second album at Svenska Grammofon Studion in Gothenburg, Sweden. The album, Total Life Forever, has been described by the band members as sounding like "tropical prog" and "like the dream of an eagle dying". The band have described the album as being "a lot less funk" than they had originally planned. The album was produced by Luke Smith, formerly of Clor, and its title is named after an element of Ray Kurzweil's theory of singularity. The band's frontman Yannis Philippakis has professed a long time interest in futurology, with it informing numerous songs on Total Life Forever.
On 1 March 2010, the promotional single "Spanish Sahara" was first played on Zane Lowe's show Radio 1. Foals' new website was updated that night with the release of a video for the track directed by longtime collaborator Dave Ma. On 6 March, the Total Life Forever site was officially launched. Puzzles revealed images, lyrics and sound clips of songs from the album. The last clip appeared on 12 March, and resulted with a password entry for the Foals' new website. The site was opened on 13 March and presented the whole new art concept and media including samples of songs, photos and videos. Lead single "This Orient" was released on 3 May 2010. The album was finally released on 10 May 2010. "Spanish Sahara" was later released as a full physical single in September 2010, featuring an edited remix starring the strings of London Contemporary Orchestra. The album was nominated for the 2010 Mercury Prize.

[Verse 1]
You've got blue blood on your hands, I think it's my own
We can go down to the streets and follow the shores
Of all the people, we could be two
Then I bite my nails to the quick, run back home
You've got blue blood on your hands, I know it's my own
You came at me in the midnight to show me my soul
Of all the people, I hoped it'd be you
To come and free me, take me away
To show me my home
Where I was born
Where I belong
You've got blue blood on your hands, I want you to know
I hoped you'd come and take me away, back to my home
Of all the people, it had to be you
Then I bite my nails to the quick, run back home
[Chorus]
You showed me
Where to go
To my home
To my home
So take me
Through the roads
That you know
To my home
[Bridge]
You've got blue blood on your hands, I know it's my own
You came at me in the midnight to show me my soul
[Chorus]
You showed me
Where to go
To my home
To my home
So take me
Through the roads
That you know
To my home
[Break]
Come with me accept it, affect it, protect it (You showed me)
Come with me accept it, so now you know (Where to go, to my home)
Come with me accept it, effect it, protect it (To my home, so take me)
Come with me accept it, so now you know (Through the roads that you know, to my home)
[Chorus]
You showed me
Where to go
To my home
To my home
So take me
Through the roads
That you know (You know, you know...)
You know
To my home
[Verse 2]
So take me through the roads
That you know where you know
You showed me where to go to my home
Come with me accept it, affect it, protect it
Come with me accept it, so now you know
Come with me accept it, effect it, protect it
Come with me accept it, so now you know
[Break]
You've got the blood on your hands, I know it's my own
We can go down to the streets and follow the shores
Of all the people, I hoped it'd be you
Show me my way back home, to where I was born
Where I belong, where I belong

Cada vez que escucho Foals, se torna una de mis bandas favoritas... Si bien es cierto, recuerdo cuando sacaron el Antidotes, un álbum genial con mucha energía y que era fácil engacharse con el tracklist que nos ofrecían. Luego vino este álbum, Total Live Forever, que para aquellos que esperábamos un toque similar al Antidotes no fue muy "bueno"... Pero, considero, que el Total Live Forever es un disco que tienes que escuchar varias veces, y de a poco, para que te parezca fantástico. Lamentablemente, recién estoy amando a este álbum, a pesar de haberlo escuchado a meses de haber salido, debido a que "Holy Fire" se volvió, en lo personal, el mejor álbum de Foals y el cambio que nos ofrecen en su tercer álbum, se siente un poco en el Total Live Forever. Espero vengan a Perú.
