Verse 1 North... empty
Running... Bravado
As if to say as if to say As if to say he doesn't like chocolate
He's born a liar he'll kie a liar some things will never be different
V2 Three out of 5 three out of 5 Six out of ten better luck next time
Just like his dad just like his dad some things will never be different
Hungry and dumb hungry and dumb Queuing up for some more junk food
It's not my fault, it's not my fault They're getting so much younger

About this song: Helicopter
"Helicopter" is a song by British indie rock band Bloc Party. It was first released as a single from their 2004 EP Little Thoughts on October 25, 2004 in Europe and released again on February 21, 2006 in the US.It was rumored to be about George W. Bush being elected president of U.S.A., but the band has denied this, with lead singer Kele Okereke telling press it was partially about himself.There are two videos for the song. A European video was produced, filmed in black and white, featuring shaky and fuzzy shots. Read more on Last.fm.
