Rhododendrons Bloc Party

[Verse 1]
On the hottest night of the year
Lying in a patch of rho–, rhododendrons
A bottle of whisky under my arm
Trying to count a sky full of stars
I dream of order, I dream of fleets
Of Napoleon in aquamarine
He said, "Linus, put that blanket down
You've slammed your door too many times"
He said, "Linus, put that blanket down
The world won't wait"

[Chorus]
Boy, what you gonna do with your life?
Boy, what you gonna do with your life?
Boy, what you gonna do with your life?
Boy, what you gonna do with your life?

[Verse 2]
When I was your age, I was comman–, commanding fleets
When I was your age, I was soaked in victory
And now you can't keep a job and you can't keep a wife
What a horrible mess you're gonna make of your life
Watched way too many American films
To be John Wayne, Brando or James Dean
Waiting so long for your wrists to get thick
Waiting so long for the next great party
So many questions, so little to say
You don't need these weights
