Bleed Lyrics

I don't bleed you
i just need to see you
I would love to turn your vice
and make silly twice

She isn't dreamy
she just needs to see me
drowning in the main stream flow
and frowning where ever I go

So come down little one
leave your place in the sun
So come down little one
leave your place in the sun

I come in bleeding
stumbling round and needing
I love to burn your trash
and make a picture with the ash

I come storming before your cloud starts forming
I would love to cut your hair
and leave an empty promise there

So come down little one
leave your place in the sun
So come down little one
leave your place in the sun

Start your engine but don't forget to mention
to your friend that I need work
don't reminded her I'm a jerk

Inter clowning
and join me while I'm downing
drink to get some poision herbs
curtisy of the Suburbs

So come down little one
leave your place in the sun
come down little one
leave your place in the sun
come down little one
leave your place in the sun
come down little one
leave your place in the sun
come down little one
leave your place in the sun

The Great Leap Forward

I don't bleed you 
i just need to see you
I would love to turn your vice 
and make silly twice

She isn't dreamy
she just needs to see me 
drowning in the main stream flow
and frowning where ever I go

So come down little one 
leave your place in the sun
So come down little one 
leave your place in the sun

I come in bleeding 
stumbling round and needing
I love to burn your trash 
and make a picture with the ash

I come storming before your cloud starts forming
I would love to cut your hair 
and leave an empty promise there

So come down little one 
leave your place in the sun
So come down little one 
leave your place in the sun

Start your engine but don't forget to mention
to your friend that I need work 
don't reminded her I'm a jerk

Inter clowning 
and join me while I'm downing
drink to get some poision herbs 
curtisy of the Suburbs

So come down little one 
leave your place in the sun
come down little one 
leave your place in the sun
come down little one 
leave your place in the sun
come down little one 
leave your place in the sun
come down little one 
leave your place in the sun

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

have you actually heard the song? its brilliant and one of the sweetest things I've ever heard... they're a really strange band, its an amazingly talented pop songwriting black dude and these two emaciated sort of indie hipster kids... its the perfect band for a girl like me who's two favorite bands are wu tang and belle and sebastian, if i'm not too lazy i'll post more lyrics, they have like 4 albums out its stupid only this song is posted

as for the meaning... he loves a girl who loves him too, but stubbornly refuses to get off her high horse about everything. shes the kind of girl who has a "place in the sun." he simultaneously needs her to be the good one who holds things together ("don't forget to mention/ to your friend that i need work") and wants her to let go of herself ("join me while i'm drowning")

i read that this was about his ex-wife, so maybe all the animosity at the beginning means that their not together anymore... but hes singing these cruel things in the sweetest possible melody, so i think there's some ambivalence
