[Chorus]
Something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now

[Bridge]
Get high, hit the floor before you go
Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport

[Chorus]
But something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now

[Verse 1]
Forty-eight thousand seats
Bleats and roars for my memories of you
Now that I'm fully clean
The matador is no more and is dragged from view

[Bridge]
Get high, hit the floor before you go
Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport

[Verse 2]
Forty-eight thousand seats
Bleats and roars for my memories of you
Now that I am clean
The matador is no more and is dragged from view

[Chorus]
But something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now

alt-J is an English indie rock band that consists of vocalist and guitarist Joe Newman, keyboardist and bassist Gus Unger-Hamilton and drummer Thom Green. Gwil Sainsbury was the band’s bassist before leaving the band in early 2014.

Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.

∆’s name takes a little explaining. Pronounced alt-J, the delta sign is inserted when you press alt and J on a Mac keyboard.
