We ain't goin' to the town
We're goin' to the city
Gonna track this shit around
And make this place a heart to be a part of
We ain't goin' to the town
We're goin' to the city
Gonna track this shit around
And make this place a heart to be a part of
Again
Goin'
We're goin'
We're goin'
And we're gone
We're goin'
We're goin'
Goin'
We're gone
So, baby, make it with me in preparation for tonight
We've got so much to leave
But that's not what makes this right
You've been building up steam
Ignited by this fight
So do this thing with me
Instead of tying on a tight one tonight
Goin'
Goin'
Goin'
And we're gone
We ain't goin' to the town
We're goin' to the city
Gonna track this shit around
And make this place a heart to be a part of
Again

Evil
Rosemary
Heaven restores you in life
You're coming with me
Through the aging, the fearing, the strife
It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that moves you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Right will take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow-release
Hey wait
Great smile
sensitive to fate not
Denial
But hey who's on trial?
It took a life spent with no cellmate
The long way back
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"
we speaks about travel
Yeah, we think about the land
We smart like all peoples
Feeling real tan
I could take you places
Do you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van
Hey wait
Great smile
sensitive to fate not
Denial
But hey who's on trial?
It took a life spent with no cellmate
To find the long way back
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"
You're weightless, you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"
Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
You've come to love me lightly
Yeah you've come to hold me tight
Is this motion everlasting
Or do shutters pass in the night?
Rosemary
Oh heaven restores you in life
I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
The long way back
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"
You're weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"
Why can't we just play the other game?
Why can't we just look the other way?
Heaven restores you in life
You're coming with me
Through the aging, the fearing, the strife
It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that moves you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Right will take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow-release
Hey wait
Great smile

Narc
Touch your thighs, I'm the lonely one
Remember that last sweat, 'cause that was the right one
Oh, all your mysteries are moving in the sun
I show some love and respect
Wanna get some love and respect
Baby, you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
Don't give up your lover tonight
'Cause it's just you, me and this wire, alright
Let's tend to the engine tonight
She found a lonely sound
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh, love, can you love me, babe?
Love, is this loving, babe?
Is time turning around?
Feast your eyes, I'm the only one
Control me, console me
'Cause that's just how it should be done
Oh, your history's like fire from a busted gun
I show some love and respect
Don't wanna get a life of regret
But, baby, you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
Don't give up your lover tonight
She found a lonely sound
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh, love, can you love me, babe?
Love, is this loving, babe?
Is time turning around?
We slips into the bedroom
Babe, you know me, this is alright
Holdings we'll make soon
Will sustain us through the night
Inside my bedroom, baby
Touch me, oh, tonight
Poses, we'll make some
Will reveal our sense of right
You should be in my space
You should be in my life
You should be in my space
You should be in my life
You could be in my space
Remember that last sweat, 'cause that was the right one
Oh, all your mysteries are moving in the sun
I show some love and respect
Wanna get some love and respect
Baby, you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
Don't give up your lover tonight
'Cause it's just you, me and this wire, alright
Let's tend to the engine tonight
She found a lonely sound
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh, love, can you love me, babe?
Love, is this loving, babe?
Is time turning around?
Feast your eyes, I'm the only one
Control me, console me
'Cause that's just how it should be done
Oh, your history's like fire from a busted gun

Don't wanna get a life of regret
But, baby, you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
Don't give up your lover tonight
She found a lonely sound
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh, love, can you love me, babe?

Take You On A Cruise
I'm timeless like a broken watch
I make money like Fred Astaire
I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time
Your pretense is not what restricts me
It's the circles inside
The anatomy of kisses and a teacher who tries
Who knows how we'll disappear?
Would you like to be my missus and in future with child?
You know we can't get back from here
But we can get away
Baby, don't you try to find me
Baby, don't you try to fight
Baby, don't you try to find me
Baby, it will be alright
Along the way, tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
We sail today, tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship or receive a better tip in your life
I am the scavenger between the sheets of union
Lately, I can't tell for sure whether machines turn anyone
I am the scavenger between the sheets of union
Lately, I can't tell for sure whether machines turn anyone
Lady, don't you try to find me
Lady, there is no need to fight
Lady, don't you try to find me
Lady, it will be alright
We sail today, tears will drown in your wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
Along the way, the sea will crowd us with lovers at night
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship or receive a better tip in your life
I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time
White Goddess

Black Temptress of the sea
You treat me right

Oh, my love, we're leaving tonight

Slow Hands
Yeah but nobody searches
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud
And I might stop and look upon your face
Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze
See the living that surrounds me
Dissipate in a violet place
Can't you see what you've done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now
We spies
We slow hands
Put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself now
I submit my incentive is romance
I watched the pole dance of the stars
We rejoice because the hurting is so painless
>From the distance of passing cars
But I am married to your charms & grace
I just go crazy like the good old days
You make me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you
Can you see what you've done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now
We spies
Yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
Killer, for hire you know not yourself
We spies
We slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
We retire like nobody else
We spies
Intimate slow hands killer
For hire you know not yourself
We spies
Intimate slow hands
You let the face slap around herself
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud
And I might stop and look upon your face
Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze
See the living that surrounds me
Dissipate in a violet place
Can't you see what you've done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now
We spies
We slow hands
Put the weights all around yourself

Not Even Jail
I'll lay down my glasses
I'll lay down in houses
If things come alive
I'll subtract pain by ounces
Yeah, I will start painting houses
If things come alive
I promise to commit no acts of violence
Neither physical or otherwise
If things come alive
I'll say it now
I'll say it now
Say it now
Oh I'll say it now
Cause I want it now
When personality is scarred tissue
We travel South if it's use
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of your time here
Give some meanings to the means
To your end
Not even jail
We marshal in the days of longing
We tremble like anyone's children
And wait to watch the fire
Repairing on the side of caution
Betraying no other symptom
But girl you shake it right
I will bounce you on the lap of silence
We will free love to the beats of science
And girl you shake it right
I'll say it now
Oh but hold still darling your hair so free
Can't you feel all the warmth of my sincerity
You make motion when you cry
You're making peoples lives feel less private
Don't take time away
You make motion when you cry
We all hold hands
can't we all hold hands
When we make new friends
I pretend like no one else
To try to control myself
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of your time here
Give some meanings to the means
To your end
Not even jail
I'll lay down in houses
If things come alive
I'll subtract pain by ounces
Yeah, I will start painting houses
If things come alive
I promise to commit no acts of violence
Neither physical or otherwise
If things come alive
I'll say it now
I'll say it now

Public Pervert
If time is a vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the medal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
We all get paid
Yeah some get faith before they die
But the stars we will navigate
Through the holes in your eyes
How many days will it take to land?
How many ways to reach abandon?
You and I
Oh, so swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
You move with me, I'll treat you right, baby
May our bodies remain
There is love to be made
So just stay here for this while
Perhaps heart strings resuscitate
The fading sounds of your life
How many days will it take to land
How many ways to reach abandon?
Oh, you and I
So swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
As weak we move, I'll feed you light, baby
May our bodies remain
Oh yeah in history, I'll treat you right, baby
I'm honest that way, hey
Swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the medal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
We all get paid
Yeah some get faith before they die
But the stars we will navigate
Through the holes in your eyes
How many days will it take to land?
How many ways to reach abandon?

Oh, so swoon baby starry nights

Cmere
It's way too late
To be this locked inside ourselves
The trouble is
That you're in love with someone else
It should be me
Oh, it should be me
Sacred parts
Your getaways
You come along
On summer days
Tenderly
Tastefully
And so may
We make time
Try and find somebody else
This place is mine
Set the date
You know exactly how I feel
I had my doubts, little girl
I'm in love with something real
It could be me
That's changing
And so may
We make time
To try and find somebody else
Who has aligned
Now seasoned with health
Two lovers walk a lakeside mile
Try pleasing with stealth, rodeo
See what stands long, ending fast
Oh, how I love you
Oh, in the evenings
When we are sleeping
We are sleeping
Oh, we are sleeping
And so may
We make time
We try and find somebody else
Who has aligned
Now seasoned with health
Two lovers walk a lakeside mile

See what stands long, oh, ending fast

Length Of Love
This could be destiny
Oh sweetheart
I've had no sense of time
Since we started
I got friends in need
Oh sweetheart
I'd go lengths and lengths and lengths of love
Since we started this thing now
Complex salacious removal
Complex salacious removal
There is a bitter breed
Oh, sweetheart
They will be watching you sometimes
With their bitter hearts
But we went through with these
Oh, we're shifting the heartache
We want strong summer love that must roam washed up blood
Just to stay away

A Time To Be So Small
We saw you from the urchin's side from under the boat
We saw you making knots, we saw you get the rope
The boy appearing on the deck, you're making it lurch
The bubble of your interest's ready to burst
He whistles and he runs
We saw you in distraction, a sleeping, slow despair
Rehearsing interaction, he wasn't even there
A creature is a creature though you wish you were the wind
The boat will not stop moving if you tie him up until the end
He whistles and he runs, so hold him fast
Breathe the burn, you want to let it last
He might succumb to what you haven't seen
He has a keen eye for what you used to be
When the cadaverous mob saves their doors for the dead men
You cannot leave
When the cadaverous mob saves its doors for the dead men
You cannot leave
When the cadaverous mob saves its doors for the dead men
You cannot leave
We saw you making knots, we saw you get the rope
The boy appearing on the deck, you're making it lurch
The bubble of your interest's ready to burst
He whistles and he runs
We saw you in distraction, a sleeping, slow despair
Rehearsing interaction, he wasn't even there
A creature is a creature though you wish you were the wind
The boat will not stop moving if you tie him up until the end
He whistles and he runs, so hold him fast
Breathe the burn, you want to let it last
He might succumb to what you haven't seen
He has a keen eye for what you used to be

Antics is the second studio album by American rock band Interpol, released on September 27, 2004, by Matador Records. Upon its release, the album peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard 200 and number 21 on the UK Albums Chart, and went on to sell over 488,000 copies in the United States.
Antics received generally favorable reviews from critics. Drowned in Sound named it the best album of 2004, and it likewise appeared on end-of-year lists by several other music publications. It was later certified gold by the RIAA in 2009. Four singles were released from the album: "Slow Hands", "Evil", "C'mere", and "Narc".
In a 2018 interview with Vice, lead singer Paul Banks listed Antics as his favorite of the band's albums, saying: "I really put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears onto this record" and that "it felt like a very righteous pursuit". Banks also claimed that their confidence in the album's quality acted as "the perfect antidote to that sophomore slump" and the group circumvented the pressure and was able to "dive straight back in".
