The Oracle on A Rush of Blood to the Head

September 10, 2010 - submitted by Nori, Hungary
Q. Was A Rush of Blood to the Head written particularly for the series Six Feet Under?
The Oracle replies:
No it wasn't; the band haven't written any songs specifically for a TV series.

Lyrics

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

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

Oo-oh, Oo-oh,
oo-oh, Oo-oh,

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

Honey
All the movements you've started 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 said start as you mean to go on

Start as you mean to go on

He said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside me 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 gonna 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, oh

Honey
All the movements you've started 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 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
Oh, 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
