A Rush of Blood to the Head

He said I'm going to buy this place and burn it down.
I'm going to put it six feet underground.
He said I'm going to buy this place and watch it fall.
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls.

Oh I'm going to buy this place and start a fire.
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires.
Because I'm going to buy this place and see it burn.
Do back the things it did to you in return.
Ah, ah. ah

He said Oh I'm going to buy a gun and start a war.
If you can tell me something worth fighting for.
Oh and I'm going to buy this place that's what I said.
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head.

And all the movements you're starting to make.
See me crumble and fall on my face,
and I know the mistakes that I made.
See it all disappear without a trace,
and they call as they beckon you on.
They say start as you mean to go on.
Start as you mean to go on.

He said I'm going to buy this place and see it go.
Stand here beside my baby watch the orange glow.
Some will laugh and some just sit and cry,
but you just sit down there and you wonder why.

So I'm going to buy a gun and start a war.
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
and I'm gonna buy this place that’s what I said,
blame it upon a rush of blood to the head, oh to the head.

Honey, all the movements you're starting to make.
see me crumble and fall on my face,
and I know the mistakes that I made.
See it all disappear without trace,
and they call as they beckon you on.
They said start as you mean to go on.
As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on


So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane.
When am I going to see that pretty face again.
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
blame it all upon,
A rush of blood to the head

I love this song, not only from the album by the same name, but it is on the Six Feet Under soundtrack. It's the line I'm going to put it six feet underground that does it for them. Fitting song for that show, admittedly. At first I thought that this was a song I wouldn't like. But I appreciate it more. I felt that way about USI. This song perfectly mirrors my feelings of frustration and trepidation about going into my office, seeing what travails would await my day, what kind of bed news would I be forced to dispense to the staff. After a while, I really felt quite bitter about the management and all the wretched things they'd done in an effort to keep the company "alive" or "afloat" - which they weren't. But it was such misery to work there. So I do understand that.

So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane.
When am I going to see that pretty face again.
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
blame it all upon,
A rush of blood to the head
