Cells Shaped Like Stars Lyrics
This house is sick, it ruins us
The scent of death in every kiss
In every room we have shed tears
I’m calling time
I'll bring you back, back from the brink
I'll dry your tears
You see, in our bodies, in our bodies
There are cells shaped like stars
‘Cause in our bodies, there are universes
Everything that ends will one day start again
We must think our way through this
Such rosy cheeks, a healthy smile
We must put this behind us
She's watching us from the stars
Her requiem
You see, in our bodies, in our bodies
There are cells shaped like stars
‘Cause in our bodies, there are universes
Everything that ends will one day start again
We must think our way through this
I know that she would
Have been a girl
You'll meet her one day
She’ll remember you
The scent of death in every kiss
In every room we have shed tears
I’m calling time
I'll dry your tears
There are cells shaped like stars
‘Cause in our bodies, there are universes
Everything that ends will one day start again
We must think our way through this
We must put this behind us
She's watching us from the stars
Her requiem
There are cells shaped like stars
‘Cause in our bodies, there are universes
Everything that ends will one day start again
We must think our way through this
Have been a girl
You'll meet her one day
She’ll remember you

I know I'm probably completely wrong here, but to me, this song sounds like it's about a couple who have lost a child at birth (eg, still-born) and it's like they're trying to work their way through the tradgedy.
'I know that she would Have been a girl You'll meet her one day She’ll remember you'
I think this comes across like the husband trying to comfort his wife, saying that one day she'll see her baby girl again, and that her daugther will remember exactly who she is.
'You see, in our bodies, in our bodies There are cells shaped like stars ‘Cause in our bodies, there are universes Everything that ends will one day start again We must think our way through this'
Again I think this is like the husband trying to comfort his wife. Telling her that, although they may have lost a child, they'll be able to work through it together, they'll be able to move on and hopefully have another child, their world doesn't have to stop because of this 'Everything that ends will one day start again'.
I know there's a lot that suggests I'm completely wrong but, it's just what first came to mind when I read the lyrics lol.
Actually you are correct.. if memory serves me right it is about Russell and the child we was supposed to have... extremely sad stuff.

This has the exact same beat to We Were Lovers only with different lyrics. odd.
it has the same melody too.. This song has the lyrics that they changed when they released We Were Lovers on a B-Side. However, they still recorded this one too.

Where can I find this song?
I don't think any decent recordings were made. There are some low-quality video recordings of the song on YouTube back when Bloc Party was Union.

clouds1 you are right. This song is infact an earlier version of 'We Were Lovers'. They obviously just found better suited lyrics and hence changed the name of the song from 'Cells Shaped Like Stars' to 'We Were Lovers'. This song was also formerly called 'Into The Blue'. Just incase anyone wanted to know. :)
This wasn't when they were called Union. It's from between Silent Alarm and A Weekend in the City.
There is a demo recording of it, but only a handful of people have it.
Like who Gunn? Who would have such a demo?
:D
Whaaaaaaaaat. Don't be ridiculous.

Gunn has it everyone! His name is Jackson Smith. He lives in Atlanta. He's on facebook. Add him. Send him countless messages requesting the demo. Fill his inbox. This is your best chance to get the demo!
