Bloc Party - The Once And Future King Lyrics

Artist: Bloc Party

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Russell Lissack, Gordon Moakes, Kele Okereke, Matt Tong

Well, I guess this will be dismissed
As bitterness and sour grapes

Champion garage band
With too much time with my own thoughts
It should be my name on their lips
But it's not

And I will wait for my turn to come round again
And I will wait however long it takes
However long it takes

See you're gonna be the next big thing
All the young girls you could ever want

I heard your song on the radio
Like a fire brand on my skin
So the war has begun
A pox on your houses

And I will wait for my turn to come round again
And I will wait however long it takes
However long it takes

I say round of applause
I say round of applause
(You're making all the noises whenever he wants)

I say, round of applause
I say, round of applause
(Objection, overruled)

Passive yet aggressive
Drunk on schadenfreude
Success has been cruel to me
My time will come again

And I will wait for my turn to come round again
And I will wait
