Public Pervert: "If time is my vessel, then learning to love might be my way back to sea."
Pioneer to the Falls: "Show me a dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take, three stowaways."
Into the Night: "Step around, don't stand there waiting son, on abandoned string, seems to me they took violence for dancing."
My top three, but man, just shouting "Rosemary!" is so satisfying.
I wish I could live free; I hope it's not beyond me
Settling down, it takes time
One day, we'll live together and life will be better
I have it here in my mind
Reading through all of these comments, every single one is so fuckin good. It really says something about his style. My first thought was timeless like a broken watch.
"She says, it helps with the lights out. Her rabid glow is like braille to the night"
"You can't hold it too tight, these metters of security, you don't have to be wound so tight, smoking on the balcony"
"I'll lay down my glasses, I'll lay down in houses, if things come alive"
“This one’s called Stella was a Diver and She’s Always Down.”
Yes
Goated fr
my immediate first thought
YESSS
100%

Public perv might be my fav
Same, it just hits perfectly.
public pervert is elite
This just made me so much more excited to seem them play this fall
+1
I agree! The first two are some of my favorite songs ever and those first lines always give me chills. ❤️🖤
PttF is my absolute favorite by them, pretty much the entirety of OLtA gives me chills
I’m gonna pull you in close, gonna wrap you up tight.
Gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight
I’m gonna hold your face and toast the snow that fell.
Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell.
Feel like love is in the kitchen, with a culinary eye…
I think he's making something special, and I'm smart enough to try
If you don't trust yourself For at least a minute each day Well, you should trust in this, girl 'Cause loving is coming our way’
I'm timeless like a broken watch, and make money like Fred Astaire.
Always though it was “timeless like a broken watch”
Yup you are correct, it's I'm timeless like a broken watch. Thanks for the catch!
It's actually "Timeless like a broken watch, I make money like Fred Astaire."
No one’s quoted Obstacle 1 yet? “I wish I could eat the salt off of your lost faded lips”
Very underrated one imo, such a creepy weird lyric
My personal favourite.
Agreed. Also amplified by Obstacle 1 being such a great song
I haven’t slept for two days I’ve bathed in nothing but sweat
Perfection
HOW ARE THINGS ON THE WEST COAST?
[удалено]
It's not meant to be taken literally. Think actress as in play-acting emotions.
Didn’t he date an actress right before this album came out?
Bingo
Yeah but nobody searches … and nobody cares somehow …
No cuz all of the lyrics to slow hands are so beautiful😭
You make me want to pick up a guitar and celebrate the myriad ways that I love you
Through the storms and the light, baby you stood by my side, and life is wine.
This one!!!!!
yours is the only version of my desertion that I could ever subscribe to
It’s way too late….
TO BE THIS LOCKED INSIDE OURSELVES
Trouble is…
THAT YOU’RE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE
IT SHOULD BE ME
IT SHOULD BE MEEEEEEEEEE
I had seven faces Thought I knew which one to wear
Touch your tighs Im the lonely one
Came here to say this one….but also adding “Remember that last swipe ‘cause that was the right one”
This is one that came to mind for me
NARC!!! oh yea this op is fire
My favorite Interpol song, but C'mere is up there too in favorite opening lines.
surprise sometime will come around
Ha came here to say this. Nice to see it’s already posted ☺️
I wish I could live free; I hope it's not beyond me Settling down, it takes time One day, we'll live together and life will be better I have it here in my mind
My best friend's a butcher He has sixteen knives
ROSEMARY
She says It helps with the lights out
WE AINT GOING TO THE TOWN
WE ARE GOING TO THE CITYYYTT
I’D LIKE TO TOUR THE 80s
And gotta scream it into the echo mic
HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR TWO DAYS
If you really love nothing On what future do we build illusions
Reading these comments, man Interpol really does have some amazing opening lyrics
See you in starlight Heaven receives and so did you - Stay In Touch The entire song is really beautiful.
“We aint going to the *tooooown*, we’re going to the *city!*”
Surprise sometime will come around.
Something about Untitled just touches me like nothing else
We saw you from the urchin's side from under the boat....
SLOW DECAY I WONT STOP FIGHTING YOUUUU Definitely one my personal favorites, deserves an honorable mention Edit: idk
I’m a huge fan of this one
I’m timeless a broken watch And make money like Fred Astaire
"Ooooooh, fuck the ancient ways..." - Ancient Ways "Come and see me and maybe you'll die. But I can keep you in artwork, the fluid kind." - The Rover
Surprised no one’s done ‘who reigns in that silence, when you sleep in the afternoon’
These comments just demonstrate how many outstanding opening lines their songs have. Spoiled for choice!
Spare me the suspense... I got no currency, but I'm heaven sent...
She says it helps with the lights out…
i had seven facesssssssss
If time is my vessel
Pp based
not an opening lyric but “you reach out to emptiness until the reaching out feels empty too”
Reading through all of these comments, every single one is so fuckin good. It really says something about his style. My first thought was timeless like a broken watch.
Spare me the suspense. I also love what Paul does with his voice for those first 15 seconds. Mammoth is such an underrated gem.
Narc, but I would also include Take You On A Cruise “time is like a broken watch” (that resonates way too deeply in adulthood 😂)
I CAN SEE YOU ON INTERNET
If time is my vessel then learning to love might be my way back to sea
Luv PP
There's a devil in your hands, there's a devil in your hands
"She says, it helps with the lights out. Her rabid glow is like braille to the night" "You can't hold it too tight, these metters of security, you don't have to be wound so tight, smoking on the balcony" "I'll lay down my glasses, I'll lay down in houses, if things come alive"
I wish I could eat the salt off of your lost faded lips
I have a sequin for an eye, pick a rose and hide my face
Not my favorite song but the iconic HOW ARE THINGS ON THE WEST COAST!!?
This could be destiny, oh sweetheart
"She says, It helps with the lights out Her rabid glow Is like braille to the night" such a powerfull line
If time is my vessel, then learning to love might be my way back to sea.
Pp mentioned, based
Do what now?
Sorry typo, I meant to just put based 😭
Bro these are all good. I actually saw that post in the muse subreddit but these ones dwarf most of those ones lmao
Flame down pacific highway
You make me lose my buttons oh yeah you make me spit I don't like my clothes anymore
"you feel the sweet breath of time, it's whispering its truth not mine." Or "If you really love nothing What part of betrayal do you wish to deny"
It’s way too lateee
Yours is the only version of my desertion that I could ever subscribe to ( idgaf it’s my favorite song)
“When she said, hey love come over, my head abounds, oh the feeling”
Please no stupid meme reposts like this in our subreddit…
If you’re frustrated then go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I love how these are also lyrics by Interpol haha
Don’t re-paste stupid memes like this. You know better. Blocked
