Selfish Son Songtext
von Bloc Party

I took it too far, I took it too far again
Cut me down
I took it too far, I took it too far again
On the Lower East Side
I took it too far, I took it too far again
Night bleeds into day
I took it too far, I took it too far again
I nearly lost you

I can be cruel, I can be cruel
To you
I can be cruel, I can be cruel
To you, my love


Typical me, typical Libra
Spit the dummy
Typical me, typical Libra
The grass is always green
This city is raised on borrowed time
Taxi meters, police sirens
This city is raised on borrowed time
I nearly lost you

I can be cruel, I can be cruel
To you
I can be cruel, I can be cruel
To you
I can be cruel, I can be cruel
To you
I can be cruel, I can be cruel
To you, my love


Selfish son (I can be cruel)
Selfish brother (I can be cruel)
Selfish child
Selfish lover (To you)
Selfish son (I can be cruel)
Selfish brother (I can be cruel)
Selfish child
Selfish lover (To you)
Selfish son (I can be cruel)
Selfish brother (I can be cruel)
Selfish child
Selfish lover (To you)
Selfish son (I can be cruel)
Selfish brother (I can be cruel)
Selfish child
Selfish lover (To you, my love)
