Biko

Bloc Party - Biko

You're not doing it (this) alone
You're not doing, You're not doing this alone

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 alone

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

You're not doing this alone

So I've been writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grave
We can dance in a front row 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

You're not doing this alone

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 thing that I can do

So toughen up
That I can do it
Biko toughen up
That I can do
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

You're not doing this alone

Resist!

So toughen up
Resist
Biko toughen up
Resist
Biko toughen up
Resist
I need you to be strong for us
Resist
So toughen up
Resist
Biko toughen up
Resist
Biko toughen up
Resist
This world isn't kind to little things
Resist

You're not doing this alone
You're not doing
You're not doing this alone
