“Waiting for the 7.18” is rebooted drum ‘n’ bass with lovely chiming keyboards. “We were going for a real Richard D James [Aphex Twin] sound,” says Okereke. It sounds nothing like Bloc Party. “That was the idea.”

Waiting for the 7.18 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Waiting for the 7:18
January is endless
Weary-eyed and forlorn
The Northern Line is the loudest
Sitting in silence in bars after work
I've got nothing to add or contest
Can I still kick a ball a hundred yards?
We cling to bottles and memories of the past
[Chorus]
(Give me moments) Just give me moments
(Give me moments) Not hours or days
(Give me moments) Just give me moments
(Give me moments)
[Verse 2]
Grinding your teeth in the middle of the night
With the sadness of those molars
Spend all your spare time trying to escape
With crosswords and Sudoku
If I could do it again, I'd make more mistakes
I'd not be so scared of falling
If I could do it again, I'd climb more trees
I'd pick and I'd eat more wild blackberries
[Chorus]
(Give me moments) Just give me moments
(Give me moments) Not hours or days
(Give me moments) Just give me moments
(Give me moments)
[Bridge]
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
[Outro]
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
