Lucean,
Im so tired of flesh and blood
My lord has grown so vile
Shamefullness descends upon the shoulders
Kicking the corpse untill the fun wares off
Bleeding septums and S41
Talking needs to the sun comes up
Rich boys they just need a hand or hand down
From papa
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out
Theres a blizzard in the after hours bars
Raining my way down the strand
Who are these fags in the red bow ties
ruining it for the rest of us
Self content for the young, the younger beset
that hirstoy will always eat itself
Rich boys they just need a hand
or a good old fashioned war
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out
Im so tired of flesh and blood
My lord has grown so vile
Shamefullness descends upon the shoulders
Kicking the corpse untill the fun wares off
Bleeding septums and S41
Talking needs to the sun comes up
Rich boys they just need a hand or hand down
From papa
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out
Theres a blizzard in the after hours bars
Raining my way down the strand
Who are these fags in the red bow ties
ruining it for the rest of us
Self content for the young, the younger beset
that hirstoy will always eat itself
Rich boys they just need a hand
or a good old fashioned war
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out

I'm projecting that the fags in the red bow ties line is either about the frustration kele feels with mainstream gay culture, either a) in the way that they wear the AIDS ribbon almost as a meaningless fashion statement or b) that when people see a guy who is really stereotypically gay it ruins it for the non-stereotypical gays because it reinforces people's prejudice.
Then the chorus:
Wouldnt it be too divine
With a start, middle and an end
Wouldnt it be too divine
If we could see a way out
is just about how there is no cure for the disease, no way out.
Talons also sounds like it's about AIDS.
Nicely put. I identify with that completely.
Also, Kele went to Kings College London which is on the strand. His picture is on the KCL Strand building at the moment. Also the KCL health and GUM clinic is just off the strand - adding to the evidence of the song being about sexuality/sexual health
and the red bow ties possibly the AIDS ribbon?
*Lucean is spelled Lucian, after the Greek writer and rhetorian.
*S41 should probably be SW1(a london postal code), though this is debatable because S41 is an experimental HIV medication.
*I'm not sure, but I think the line should be "Rich Boys they just need a hand or a hand-out" because it makes more sense with the "from Papa" bit
*Beset as in "The young beset that history will only eat itself") should be have said
*Typo on history
Anyway, sorry to be so nit picky. Great Song. Bloc Party forever!
