[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Heat shimmers
Hips quiver
Open smother
Lipped lover

[Chorus 1]
Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
Soon become Mandela Men
Razor blades on a melted toothbrush
Assassin de la police

[Verse 2]
Heat shimmers
Silky glistener
Open smother
Lipped lover

[Chorus 2]
Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N
Little did I know then that the Mandela Boys
Soon become Mandela Men
Silent knife, unholy knife
I’ve fallen for the black outside my window
On the C-O-double-M-O-N
On the C-O-double-M-O-N

[Refrain]
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
A flood of blood to the heart
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea
Quelea, quelea

​​alt-J

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Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.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