Em 1998, Kele Okereke estudava em Essex, cidade natal de Russell Lissack. Em 1999 eles se encontraram novamente no Reading Festival e logo formaram a banda Union. O baixista Gordon Moakes se juntou a eles em resposta um anúncio na revista New Musical Express.
A banda mudou várias vezes de nome: Superheroes of BMX, The Angel Range, Diet, e Union até chegar ao atual Bloc Party em setembro de 2003.
Havia um teoria de que o nome fosse uma brincadeira com block party
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!

Em
Verse (0:05)
Em Spent my commission on G Another diversion and I A Don't got no meaning G No purpose left at all Em My pastor tells me that my G My light is dimming and I A Been too long drifting G In an ocean Em It's OK G You just need faith A Been looking for answers G In the wrong place Em But how do I tell him that the G There's something missing and I A Don't got no substance since you've gone
Prechorus (0:44)
CA Every day I go down to the water EmG And I pray since you left me that way CA Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my mind Em On the good news that's in my heart
Chorus (1:03)
EGA For the good, good news G For the good, good news
EGA For the good, good news G For the good, good news
EGA For the good, good news G For the good, good news
EGA Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine E Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise E
Verse (1:56)
Em Now I can make the eye G To anyone that I desire A Throwing down one for the lost boys G At the very edge of town Em Now I can spin a lie G That burns me up all through the night A Cause I've got no one home to answer to G This time EmG Every day is in repeat AG Like a carrier bag stuck in a tree EmG I used to find my answers in the gospels of St John A But now I find them at the bottom of this shot glass
Prechorus (2:36)
CA Every day I go down to the water EmG And I pray since you left me that way CA Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my mind Em On the good news that's in my heart
Chorus (2:55)
EGA For the good, good news G For the good, good news
EGA For the good, good news G For the good, good news
EGA For the good, good news G For the good, good news
EGA For the good, good news G For the good, good news
EGA Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine E Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise
