He said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
I'm gonna put it six feet underground
He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
Stand here beside me baby, in the crumbling walls
Oh, I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
Do back the things it did to you in return
Ah, ah, ah, ah
He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
Oh, and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They said start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on
He said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside my baby, watch the orange glow
Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry
You just sit down there and you wonder why
So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Oh, to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on
As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on
So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane
When am I gonna see that pretty face again
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
Blame it all upon
A rush of blood to the head
I'm gonna put it six feet underground
He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
Stand here beside me baby, in the crumbling walls
Oh, I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
Do back the things it did to you in return
Ah, ah, ah, ah
He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
Oh, and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They said start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on
He said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside my baby, watch the orange glow
Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry
You just sit down there and you wonder why
So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Oh, to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on
As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on
So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane
When am I gonna see that pretty face again
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
Blame it all upon
A rush of blood to the head
Mari kita kupas mendalam...
Permulaan lagu ini dimulai dengan dia berkata "He said, I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down", lalu apakah sebenarnya yang dimaksud?, yang dimaksud ialah semua kesalahan-kesalahan yang telah ia perbuat, menumpuk dan menggunung bagai sebuat tempat. "buy", berarti dia berusaha untuk menebus semua kesalahan yang ia punya. Ia meminta pada sang kekasih untuk berada di sampingnya sembari ia meruntuhkan kesalahannya terebut.
Bait kedua, seakan menjelaskan "apa yang bisa aku lakukan untuk menebus semua itu?", bagaikan memulai sebuah perang hanya untuk dia. Hanya jika dia mau memberi tahu masalahnya. " Blame it upon A rush of blood to the head ". Semua tekanan pikiran yang membuatnya tidak bisa berpikir jernih, karena patah hati.

" Blame it upon A rush of blood to the head ". Semua tekanan pikiran yang membuatnya tidak bisa berpikir jernih, karena patah hati.
Sekarang kita lanjut ke reff, semua movement yang dibuat oleh si mantan kekasih hanya membuat dia menjadi lemah dan tersungkur. "Aku tahu kesalahan yang telah aku perbuat, dan hanya bilang ke kamu, aku bisa membuatnya hilang". But what?, semua tindakan gegabahnya hanya menambah alasan si mantan untuk bisa pergi darinya.
Verse 2 memperjelas bahwa si pria ingin mengajak dia untuk melihat bangunan itu terbakar dan hancur seutuhnya. Semua orang yang melihat bencana itu. Ada yang tertawa dibelakang semua itu, namun juga ada yang menangisi hal itu. Tapi yang jelas, hanya dia yang duduk di bangku, sambil bertanya " Why you do such a thing". Ia ingin si lelaki tau bahwa dia tidak bisa menyalahkan hal lain karena kesalahannya semata.
Finally, bagian terakhir. Semua orang tahu akhirnya, bukan?. Si lelaki sadar bahwa dia telah pergi, tapi dia tetap bertanya pada dia, "will you come back to me?". Yah, devotion ya tetap aja devotion. Ia akhirnya tetap menunggu dan melamun meratapi semua abu yang tersisa. Hoping she will come back.
" Looking her a year after loss is a way better than looking someone new the day after loss"
