Aye, I agree. The first part of the song could be about repressing sexual urges while the line "beat off the army with a tennis racket could be about how he represses his anger, "keeping it upstairs." He has so much built-up anger could beat a whole army. As for "for somebody famous to kidnap and love", when you're an emotionally repressed person, it can be hard to connect with people, so this person is trying to force it in ridiculous ways. "tackle young girls off their beautiful bikes" could be a comibnation of repressed sexual, angry feelings and once again the hard time he has connecting with people "three-star hotel" his mind is a bit of dirty mess I could be off about some things, but man do I love Matt's lyrics |

| Bloc Party – Positive Tension Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's interesting that Kele draws inspiration from Radiohead for this song as the lines "Why'd you have to be so hysterical... why'd you have to get so fucking useless?' reminds me of "hysterical and useless" from Radiohead's Let Down. | |
