The Good News Lyrics - Hymns - Bloc Party

Spent my commission on another diversion 

And I don't got no meaning 

No purpose left at all 

My pastor tells me that my 

My light is dimming and I've 

Been too long drifting in a ocean 

It's OK 

You just need faith 

Been looking for answers in the wrong place 

But how do I tell him that there 

There's something missing? 

And I don't got no substance since you've gone 

Every day I go down to the water 

And I pray since you left me that way 

Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my mind 

On the good news that's in my heart 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine 

Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise 

Now I can make the eyes 

At anyone that I desire 

Throwing down with all the lost boys 

At the very edge of town 

Now I can spin a lie 

That burns me up all through the night 

'Cause I've got no one home to answer to this time 

Every day is a repeat 

Like a carrier bag stuck in a tree 

I used to find my answers in the gospels of St. John 

But now I find them at the bottom of this shot glass 

Every day I go down to the water 

And I pray since you left me that way 

Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my sights 

On the good news that's in my heart 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

(Don't got no meaning and I don't got no purpose) 

For the good, good news 

For the good, good news 

(Can't find no comfort and I can't find no solace) 

Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine 

Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise
