[Verse 1]
An act of kindness
Is what you show to me
None more than I can take
Oh none more than I can take
Kindness is what you showed to me
It holds me 'til I ache
Overflow, and start to break

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, I got a feeling this'll shake me down
Oh, I'm kind of hoping this will turn me round

[Chorus]
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day

[Verse 2]
An act of kindness
Is what you showed to me
It caught me by surprise in this town of glass and ice
Kindness, so many people passed me by
But you warmed me to my core, and you left me wanting more

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh I got a feeling this'll shake me down
Oh I'm kind of hoping this'll turn me round
Oh I got a feeling that however small
Oh I'm kind of hoping this will reach my soul

[Chorus]
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day

[Bridge]
Oh, my back's up against the wall
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
And you want nothing in return
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
Oh, my back's up against the wall
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
And you want nothing in return
I feel guilty, I feel guilty

[Chorus]
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
(Now it follows me everyday)

[Outro]
Oh, my back's up against the wall
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
And you want nothing in return
I feel guilty, I feel guilty

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.
