Bastille (estilizado como B?STILLE) é uma banda de indie pop inglesa de Londres, formada em 2010. Eles começaram como um projeto solo do cantor-compositor Dan Smith, que mais tarde decidiu formar uma banda. O quarteto foi completado por Chris 'Woody' Wood, William Farquarson e Kyle Simmons. O nome da banda vem do dia da Queda da Bastilha, mesmo dia do aniversário de Smith.
Em dezembro de 2010, EMI Music anunciou que haviam oferecido Bastille um contrato com a Virgin Records.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
[Verse 1] GC It's a quarter past midnight as we cut through the city (yeah, yeah, yeah) GC The streets are getting restless, good times, bad decisions (yeah, yeah) GC It's a quarter past midnight and the sirens are mending some hearts GC But we're the losers on the back seats singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
GC It's a quarter past midnight, still avoiding tomorrow GC It's a quarter past midnight, but we're just getting going
[Chorus 1] CG We keep on running, running through a red light DEm Like we're trying to burn the night away CG Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh DEm Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
CG This is my favorite part, oh DEm Help me piece it all together darling CG Before it falls apart, oh D N.C. Help me piece it all together
[Verse 2] GC It's a quarter past midnight and the speakers are blowing (yeah, yeah) GC We want the bodies on the billboards, not the lives underneath them (yeah, yeah, yeah) GC And now we're crawling up the walls again and it's a quarter past the world GC And you said we'd leave this place in dust and fall from heaven straight through hell GC We never know what we have, we never knew what we had
[Chorus 2] CG We keep on running, running through a red light DEm Like we're trying to burn the night away CG Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh DEm Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
CG Why we always chasing after something DEm Like we trying to throw our lives away CG Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh DEm Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
CG This is my favorite part, oh DEm Help me piece it all together darling CG Before it falls apart, oh D N.C. Help me piece it all together
[Bridge] GC I can't remember, I can't remember GC I can't remember, I can't remember
[Verse 3] GC It's a quarter past midnight and the secrets are flowing GC Our lips are getting looser, I don't know what I'm saying G We never knew what we had, never know what I've had
[Chorus 3] CG We keep on running, running through a red light DEm Like we're trying to burn the night away CG Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh DEm Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
CG Why we always chasing after something DEm Like we trying to throw our lives away CG Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh DEm Away-ay-ay, away-ay-ay, oh oh
CG This is my favorite parts, oh DEm Help me piece it all together darling CG Before it falls apart, oh D N.C. Help me piece it all together
