A couple pages back I said that this song sounded too 'pop.' I still think it sounds 'pop,' but, as I thought it would, it has grown on me and now I like it a lot. I think it is one of the weakest tracks on the album, but every song on the album is good, so that's not an insult. I like Intimacy better than Silent Alarm at the moment. SA is the best debut album, Intimacy is the best 2008 album.
Love the line: "You're pulling the trigger, and the gun is in my mouth..." Not sure why, though.
Hey dude, love all the bloc party stuff ya put up but I bought Intimacy the other day and this track aint on it, maybe I have some crapy Irish version but this song def ain't on it
Its a bonus track on the UK release i believe. your republic of ireland i assume. It might be on your version just try listening after Ion Square. theres also another called letters to my son.
AWITC best album whaaat? It was a good album, but their worst. Silent Alarm is the best, in every way, followed by Intimacy(really, album of 2008 and you know it) followed by AWITC.
Anywayz this song is catchy as hell and I love it. <3
I does have a very pop feel to it, yes but I enjoy it anyway, just because I love the melodic feel of all bloc party songs. I do hope they have at least a partial return to the style of "A Weekend In the City" at some point, because that was thier best record.
should be their next release, amazing song!!! beautiful in a very unique way, very intriguing to say the least. i can't describe it, it makes me smile...
I don't know, it's just that... it's got a looped drum beat, no signs of instruments but synthesizers, and his voice, at the beginning and end anyway, is like all edited and stuff. It just seems very much like a pop song you'd hear on the radio. I bet it would be fine when they play it live, but, at the moment, I don't really like this.
This song makes me want to shit on a plastic plate and slowy rub the shit all over my face, dance in front of the mirror and then pass-out in my father's bed...
haha, this is awesome. i let it play for like 30 seconds, then opened a new window, and that song started playing too. its sounded so amazing with two of them playing. sounds amazing with just one.
I have the best sex with this song, Keeps a good pace.

i know what you meann. I like this new sound bloc party came up with for the album, but this song is too much pop.
but i do like it. doesnt do for me what other bloc party songs do tho, like "Signs" or "so here we are".
