This combined with "I'd have let you if you asked me" really nails those mixed feelings you get when you look back at what could have been. On one hand you hate yourself for not making a move, but on the other hand you're wishing they just made the first move and it would have been easy. Sometimes we just don't know what to do in those situations and the opportunity slowly dissipates. Regardless, the memory stays with you forever; "I still remember".

I am convinced this song is about a potential homosexual relationship. The main singer claims the song was about a man. He is also very “dodgy” about songs about his sexuality. I think he is Bisexual and doesn’t really fit into the straight/gay boxes that people want to put him into.

He was, I can distinctly remember we knew he was at least bi sexual even with the first album, he didnt like to talk about it in interviews but everybody sort of knew he was gay buy didnt really care enough to push the issue I suppose. This song was openly about a same sex attraction between teachers
@daithiard10 ай бұрын
Sorry, but this song is about 2 teenagers not teachers. It's not only in the lyrics (teachers are not likely to be writing their names on ever train during a teacher training day while the kids are all off) but he's spoken about it loads. I was Bloc Party fan back in the day, they were one of the few good indie bands that came to West Coast of Ireland regularly He came out publicly about the time of the song, likely to get ahead of the Tabloids doing it. It may have been an open secret before that for your average listener, it wasn't known (or cared about) widely. Again, he's spoken about this quite a bit, you don't have to take my word for it. Regardless, wonderful song

I Still Remember Bloc Party I still remember How you looked that afternoon There was only you You said it's just like a full moon Blood beats faster in our veins We left our trousers by the canal And our fingers, they almost touched You should have asked me for it I would have been brave You should have asked me for it How could I say no? And our love could have soared Over playgrounds and rooftops Every park bench screams your name I kept your tie I've gone wherever you wanted And on that teachers' training day We wrote our names on every train Laughed at the people off to work So monochrome and so lukewarm And I can see our days are becoming nights I could feel your heartbeat across the grass We should have run I would go with you anywhere I should have kissed you by the water You should have asked me for it And our love could have soared I would let you if you asked me I still remember
