"Pompeii"

Eh-eh-o eh-o [6x]

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Eh-eh-o eh-o [4x]

Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?)
In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)
Great clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?)
Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)

But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like

Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

Eh-eh-o eh-o [8x]

New:AFTER a hugely successful 2013, Bastille look set to continue their steep upward curve.

Selling out the BIC in support of the new, extended version of debut album Bad Blood – released exactly a year ago and currently back at number one – the London foursome were in top form.

A crowd full of skinny jeans and hotpants – despite the brisk March weather – enthusiastically greeted guest acts Brother and Bones and rapper Angel Haze, who made another appearance later in the evening.

Opening with the eponymous Bad Blood, Bastille garnered a huge reception, with shy but charismatic frontman Dan Smith seemingly having overcome the endearing – if at times difficult – humbleness that permeated earlier shows with a new, confident stage presence.

As the driving force behind the band – indeed, Bastille was originally just the frontman – the songs reflect him, from a gentle introspective look to his love for Twin Peaks.

Only really having one album and an EP which preceded it, Bastille delivered a relatively short but impressively tight set, tearing through a number of short and sharp tunes.

They did, however, throw in new songs along the way, such as Blame, which still called upon the electronic feel of the beats they’ve cultivated, but with a more stadium rock edge.
