[Verse 1]
I came to the city
Was armed to the teeth
With ideas and desires
As my only company

[Pre-Chorus]
I got the keys to the car
You got the keys to my head
You call it karma, karma
And I call it bad luck instead
Well

[Chorus]
Is it love?
Is it l-l-love?
Or are we just craving attention?
Is it love?
Is it l-l-love?
Or do we just want satisfaction?

[Post-Chorus]
Is it–?
Is it–?

[Verse 2]
Cut to Paradise Garage
There's paint on my hands
Making art for the masses
Out of lines off of your body

[Pre-Chorus]
I got the keys to the car
You got the keys to my head
You call it karma, karma
I call it bad luck instead
Uh

[Chorus]
Is it love?
Is it l-l-love?
Or are we just craving attention?
Is it love?
Is it l-l-love?
Or do we just want satisfaction?

[Post-Chorus]
Is it–?
Is it–?

[Bridge]
Drugs, fame and money (Is it—?)
A spotlight on our subway scene
Club 57 (Is it—?)
The city got the best of me
Drugs, fame and money (Is it—?)
A spotlight on our subway scene
Club 57 (Is it—?)
The city took the best of me

[Chorus]
Is it love?
Is it l-l-love?
Or am I just craving attention?
Is it love?
Is it l-l-love?
Or do I just want satisfaction?
Is it love?
Is it l-l-love?
Or are we just craving attention?
Is it love?
Is it l-l-love?
Or do we just want satisfaction?

[Outro]
Drugs, fame and money, uh
Club 57, uh
Drugs, fame and money, uh
Club 57, uh

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
