I first heard this on our local radio station. It was requested by an ex soldier who had suffered from PTSD. He said this song was a kind of homage to those who had suffered from this and I can see why. I have been a Bear’s Den fan ever since that day. Look forward to the new album coming out this April.
Lyrics: Well sever the ties Cut me out Fill up the hole That I tied and I tried and I tried to fill Oh, but I'll lie and I'll lie at will Just to keep your feet off the floor And to keep my wolves from your door Forgive me for I am not acting myself But these bees in my breath have to come out Well you give me no reason to doubt your word But I still somehow still have my reasons I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood All this bad blood All my bad blood Well I'll slash the tires And I'll lock the door So no one gets out if there's a rupture to the structure of this house that we built And I fucked it and I fucked it and I fucked it until Those wolves they took all they could Forgive me for I am not acting myself But these bees in my breath have to come out Well you give me no reason to doubt your word But I still somehow still have my reason I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood All this bad blood All my bad blood All my bad blood All my bad blood All my bad blood
lyrics (first part) Sever the ties, Cut me out, And fill up the hole That I tied and I tried and I tried to fill Oh but I lied and I'll lie at will Just to keep your feet off the floor And to keep my wolves from your door Forgive me for I am not acting myself But these bees in my breath have to come out Well you give me no reason to doubt your word But I still somehow still have my reasons And I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood All this bad blood All my bad blood Well I slashed your tires And I locked your doors So no one gets out But there's a rupture to the structure Of this house that we built And I fucked it yeah I fucked it and I fucked it until Those wolves they took all they could
So good! I love these guys .. Though I found out something funny - both Bastille and Bear's Den have song Pompeii and Bad Blood :D and they're all really good songs :D
Davey (the lead singer) wrote the song Pompeii because he went on a trip to Pompeii with his Dad, after someone in his family died... it is pure coincidence, although they are both as good as each other :)
trying to.find the right song for my.nephew..hes drinking and his wife's sick of it. but it breaks my heart becuz I know he loves his babies so now what?
+Ilselalala As I walk down the road of old Saint Augustine I recall a choir singing in some orchard. Well the tighter you old, yeah your still gonna go until all you remember is the courtship. Well I know I was far from perfect, but I was just dying to drain all my bad blood. All my bad blood. All my bad blood.

I've had this song on repeat for the last couple days! Fabulous!!
Lyrics:
Well sever the ties
Cut me out
Fill up the hole
That I tied and I tried and I tried to fill
Oh, but I'll lie and I'll lie at will
Just to keep your feet off the floor
And to keep my wolves from your door
Forgive me for I am not acting myself
But these bees in my breath have to come out
Well you give me no reason to doubt your word
But I still somehow still have my reasons
I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood
All this bad blood
All my bad blood
Well I'll slash the tires
And I'll lock the door
So no one gets out
if there's a rupture to the structure of this house that we built
And I fucked it and I fucked it and I fucked it until
Those wolves they took all they could
Forgive me for I am not acting myself
But these bees in my breath have to come out
Well you give me no reason to doubt your word
But I still somehow still have my reason
I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood
All this bad blood
All my bad blood
All my bad blood
All my bad blood
All my bad blood
holy crap i heard A Year Ago Today on iTunes radio and i never really looked more into this group. thank god i did!!!
I have been searching for this song for the past 2 weeks ever since hearing it in a school assembly. I FINALLY FOUND IT YES!!!
Love this song -- such a beautiful piece
lyrics (first part)
Sever the ties,
Cut me out,
And fill up the hole
That I tied and I tried and I tried to fill
Oh but I lied and I'll lie at will
Just to keep your feet off the floor
And to keep my wolves from your door
Forgive me for I am not acting myself
But these bees in my breath have to come out
Well you give me no reason to doubt your word
But I still somehow still have my reasons
And I'm sorry I don't mean to scare you at all
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood
All this bad blood
All my bad blood
Well I slashed your tires
And I locked your doors
So no one gets out
But there's a rupture to the structure
Of this house that we built
And I fucked it yeah I fucked it and I fucked it until
Those wolves they took all they could
Just beautiful.
Saw Bear's Den sing this last week in Brighton. Sang without mikes or amps for this number. Supurb!
I was there that night too! I was lucky enough to meet them after the gig and talk to them. They are such amazing guys.
Shame Mike wasn't there!
Such a good band. Love it.
They're amazing live! I'm seeing them again in November, I can't wait!
So good! I love these guys .. Though I found out something funny - both Bastille and Bear's Den have song Pompeii and Bad Blood :D and they're all really good songs :D
Davey (the lead singer) wrote the song Pompeii because he went on a trip to Pompeii with his Dad, after someone in his family died... it is pure coincidence, although they are both as good as each other :)
So Beautiful.

Mmmm bees
This version or the real album version? Which is better?
Where's the last part of the song? 'As I walk down the road...' etc.
+Ilselalala As I walk down the road of old Saint Augustine
I recall a choir singing in some orchard.
Well the tighter you old, yeah your still gonna go
until all you remember is the courtship.
Well I know I was far from perfect, but I
was just dying to drain all my bad blood.
All my bad blood.
All my bad blood.
