My mercury’s in retrograde
This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about whats forgotten
Try not to worry about whats been missed
Scars on shins and scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in a basketball court
Jonjo’s in Sydney and he aint returning
Im sitting in soho trying to stay drunk
In any bar in the world
From Silverlake to Williamsburg
You could pick another stranger
And fall in love
My mercury’s in retrograde
This is not the time, the tie to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about whats forgotten
Try not to worry about whats been missed
Bleeding gums and veins protruding
You’re starting to hate all of your clothes
Neumayrs in LA and she aint returning
Im sleeping with people I don’t even like
My mercury’s in retrograde
When I say you last night
I wanted to say, run away with me
Away from the cynics
That this could be the start of
Something truly real…
But all that I could say was “hey”
My mercury’s in retrograde

Bloc Party - Biography
Initially known as Union, this London, England-based art-punk quartet came out in 2004 as one of the year's most fascinating prediction. Kele Okereke (b. Kelechukwu Rowland Okereke, 13 October 1981, Liverpool, Merseyside, England; vocals/guitar) and Russell Lissack (b. 11 March 1981, London, England; guitar) first met in 1998 and after several efforts to begin their own band, at last found two musicians, Gordon Moakes (b. 22 June 1976, England; bass/vocals) and Matt Tong (b. 29 April 1979, Bournemouth, Dorset, England; drums), with mutual musical tastes.The group of four began playing live shows at the start of 2002 and recorded a demo under their unique name, Union. Drawing motivation from key 80s bands such as the Cure (particularly in Okereke's vocals) and Gang Of Four, the quartet began to draw rave notices for their endearingly ramshackle stage performances. They launched the three-track 7-inch vinyl single "She's Hearing Voices" on the Trash Aesthetics label in February 2004. "Banquet"/"Staying Fat" followed on the Moshi Moshi label in May. UK reviewers fell over themselves to admire the latter release, in particular, comparing the quartet's jittery pop punk sound to recent releases by media darlings Franz Ferdinand and the Rapture. The tracks from both singles were subsequently re-released on the Bloc Party EP, and shortly afterwards the quartet signed a recording contract with Wichita Records. The single "So Here We Are" broke into the UK Top 5 in January 2005, prior to the release of the quartet's much-hyped long-playing, Silent Alarm. Despite lacking a certain cohesion, the album was greeted with widespread acclaim and was a commercial success.
An album of remixes go after in August, featuring Ladytron, Four Tet and Mogwai, following which Bloc Party retreated to the studio to plan and record their second album. Released at the start of 2007, A Weekend In The City was called as a great improvement on the quartet's debut, eschewing that set's pop leanings to fashion a taut statement of post-punk intention.
