Halo Lyrics
It was your hair that did it
It was your hair that lit the fuse
A golden brown halo
Like sunlight peering through trees
I ask you for the time, but I am asking for so much more
A moth to your light bulb, you made my heart beat faster
[Chorus]
Paralyze me, with your kiss
Wipe those dirty hands, on me
Maybe we're looking for the same thing
Maybe you're the one who will complete me
Oh how beauty burns, lips and eyes and fingertips
The spark of desire on every point our bodies meet
Behind your eyes were stars, infinite and serene
How I could suffer for you, you fascinate and magnetize me
[Chorus]
Sometimes I think, I would float away
If this sadness did not weigh me down.
[Chorus]
It was your hair that lit the fuse
A golden brown halo
Like sunlight peering through trees
I ask you for the time, but I am asking for so much more
A moth to your light bulb, you made my heart beat faster
Paralyze me, with your kiss
Wipe those dirty hands, on me
Maybe we're looking for the same thing
Maybe you're the one who will complete me
The spark of desire on every point our bodies meet
Behind your eyes were stars, infinite and serene
How I could suffer for you, you fascinate and magnetize me
If this sadness did not weigh me down.

this song is so well written... it's so sweet too. and such a great dance beat at the same time! i just think it's a plain ol' love song.
Paralyse me :] Oh wow. I love Bloc Party. It's pretty obvious what it's about but.
This is my favourite song off the album. xD And yeah, its obviously just about lust, and desire and the search for love. Wanting someone and wondering if they'll 'complete you'. Never gets old.
'The spark of desire On every point our bodies meet'
I love it.
i just bought this album... and it is a pure work of art. to me, its so good, that i cant believe that its for real! this is my favorite song off it so far. i think the meanings pretty obvious, lust, love, etc... but i just had to say how wonderful it is!!! i love bloc party's new direction, just as i liked their old stuff... but its so NEW feeling now!
This song is so amazing. I love the part "I ask you for the time but I am asking for so much more." It's just like when a shy guy talks to a girl he likes. He doesn't know what to say so he just asks for the time just so he can hear the girl's voice. It's so adorable. I also love the part about fingertips. At first I thought it was sort of weird, but now I get that he just loves all the little things about her.
the boy i am in love with (but not actually dating) told me that this song reminds him of me, and i had to pay particular attention to the lyrics. it makes me cry.
i love this song..one on my favorites on this album
This is easily my favourute song off the new album. I love the way they've managed to mix such beautiful lyrics with upbeat yet slightly dark sounding music, rather than your obvious slow song.
some things are off like, "Oh how beauty burns, lips and eyes and fingertips" and "Sometimes I think, I would float away If this sadness did not weigh me down"
Agreed. They seem so melancholic, but bloc party always has that tinge of it in all their songs, but it's such a happy song nevertheless.
