The Good News - Bloc Party

Spent my commission on another diversion

And I don’t got no meaning, no purpose left at all

My pastor tells me that my, my light is dimming and I’ve

Been too long drifting in a ocean

It’s OK, you just need faith

Been looking for answers in the wrong place

But how do I tell him that there, there’s something missing?

And I don’t got no substance since you’ve gone

Every day I go down to the water

And I pray since you left me that way

Oh Lord, I’m trying to keep my mind

On the good news that’s in my heart

For the good, good news, for the good, good news

For the good, good news, for the good, good news

For the good, good news, for the good, good news

Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine

Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise

Now I can make the eyes at anyone that I desire

Throwing down with all the lost boys at the very edge of town

Now I can spin a lie that binds me up all through the night

Cause I’ve got no one home to answer to this time

Every day is a repeat

Like a carrier bag stuck in a tree

I used to find my answers in the gospels of St. John

But now I find them at the bottom of this shot glass

Every day I go down to the water

And I pray since you left me that way

Oh Lord, I’m trying to keep my sights

On the good news that’s in my heart

For the good, good news, for the good, good news

For the good, good news, for the good, good news

(Don't got no meaning and I don’t got no purpose)

For the good, good news, for the good, good news

(Can't find no comfort and I can’t find no solace)

Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine

Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise
