Rhododendrons Lyrics
Artist(Band):Bloc Party
Review The Song (1)Print the Lyrics
On the hottest night of the year
Lying in a patch of 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"

Boy, what you gonna do with your life?

When I was your age, I was 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

Boy, what you gonna do with your life?

So you want to be an artist, want to be a singer
Want to be remembered for what you could create

So you want to be a cowboy, riding to the distance
Never have to listen or answer to anyone

So you want to be a boxer, surviving on your instincts
Relying on your fists and the quickness of your wit

Are you bigger than these buildings and the grey around you?
Is your pain more worthy than everybody else?

Drunk again in the rhododendrons

Review about Rhododendrons

Sour truth | Reviewer: Frederique.SEA. | 10/18/09

This is a really amazing song. I have just recently fallen in love with this band by pure accident.You see here in the caribean (Puerto Rico) the 'indie' alternative rock from europe is even harder to get ahold of.Anyways, this lirics hit right at home

"Boy, what you gonna do with your life? So you want to be an artist, want to be a singer
Want to be remembered for what you could create♫♫"


its the ultimate down to earth dreaming song. he's beating down his own expectations, cause at this point thats what they are blunt expectations, things he has gone off about WANTING, expecting to be and supossedly striving for. Yet, i can relate in the way that he settles", waiting for these dreams to hit him in the face:

"♪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♫

it's a wake up song. Especially for me. Senior about to begin college, going againt the river of 'future' docotor's layer's and engenier's. Wantinng succes but most importantly wanting to 'be remembered for what you could create'. Its a uphill road, and i know it. But yet again ive' found myself
"Drunk again in the rhododendrons". As right as it seems it's not leading me anywhere,(You don't need these weights♫) and that the truth ive finally come face to face with. Fourtunately i did early on. Cause it would be really sad to find myself saying this at 25 years old with kids and a crappy job that is nothing that i would have thought to be.
