[Music from the Baul] This Modern Love

During the last scene of last night's episode of "How I Met Your Mother", this song played in the background. I've been seeing Bloc Party CDs in music stores for the past couple of months. I wikipedia-d them last night and found out they're an English Indie band. Surprise surprise. Those blokes from the UK sure know how to make great music (Coldplay, Oasis, the Beatles... to name a few).

This Modern Love
By Bloc Party


To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
I've been paid
I've been paid

Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts
And keep making me smile
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never know what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
I will be yours

I'll pay for you anytime

And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well jump right in shorty, you can gorge away
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Jump right
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never know what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
Jump left

What are you holding out for?
What's always in the way?
Why so damn absent minded?
Why so scared of romance?

This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me

Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Throw your arms around me
