"Living Lux" lyrics - BLOC PARTY
Shirtless and faded on the Champs-Elysees
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
[Chorus:]
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 Moet
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
[Bridge:]
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
[Chorus:]
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
