[Verse 1]
You go sleep with the fishes
There’s no room for you here
There’s no room for you here
Wrap your teeth around the pavement
'Cause your body’s a message
Send my regards to hell

[Chorus 1]
Fall upon your knees, sing:
"This is my body and soul here"
Crawl and beg and plead, sing:
"You’ve got the power to control"
Don’t pin it all on me
Don’t pin it all on me!

[Verse 2]
You’ve been granted three wishes
Say goodbye to your mother, your father, your son
I can hear your pulse racing from here
Sitting next to this gun beats your heart in your mouth

[Chorus 1]
Fall upon your knees, sing:
"This is my body and soul here"
Crawl and beg and plead, sing:
"You’ve got the power to control"
Don’t pin it all on me
Don’t pin it all on me!

[Bridge]
Blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)
Blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)
Blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)
Blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)

[Chorus 2]
Fall upon your knees, sing:
"This is my body and soul here"
Crawl and beg and plead, sing:
"You’ve got the power to control here
This is my body and this is my soul!”
Fall upon your knees, sing:
“This is my body and soul
Don’t pin it all on me
Don’t pin it all on me!"

[Outro]
Don’t pin it all on me
Don’t pin it all on me

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.
