Biko - Bloc Party

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 keep writing these songs for you

To steal you from your grave

We can dance in our front room 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 things that I can do

(So toughen up) (I can do)

(Biko toughen up) (That I can do)

(Biko toughen up) (That I can do)

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)

Resist, resist

Resist, resist

So toughen up

(Resist)

Biko, toughen up

(Resist)

Biko, toughen up

(Resist)

I need you to be strong for us

So toughen up

(Resist)

Biko, toughen up

(Resist)

Biko, toughen up

(Resist)

This world isn’t kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)
