Living Lux - Bloc Party

Shirtless and faded on the Champs-Élysées

The world was ours then

I had conviction, but you, you had style

Such a lethal combination

The years changed us, the money weighed us down

We lost our way

Let me spoil you, pick a place to go

I want to spend my money on you

And don’t you remember

How this began?

You begged me for a chance

Don’t waste your sorry

No, don’t waste your goodbyes

Tonight

From hand to mouth and now

We’re living lux

I order the lobster, and you, the Moët

The waitress thinks that we can’t pay, no

What does she know?

Our pockets are full-grown

And we’ve earned the right to fine dine

So raise your glass, my old friend

For we both know that this is the end

For the times we fought and the times we shared

I’ll sing you a song the way I used to then

Don’t you remember

How this began?

You begged me for a chance

Don’t waste your sorry

No, don’t waste your goodbyes

Tonight

From hand to mouth and now

We’re living lux

We’re living lux
