btw when paul goes "ooooh right on" my girl parts tingle. and the chorus is so hateful and passionate, definitely not typical interpol. they usuallly tend to be pretty detached but there is really a sense of rage in this. i love it.

his singing has improved so much. rehab did him good

i dont know if this is right but to me this song says that hes sick of his significant others BS there is other versions that say instead of alone in the pitch night its supposed to be so call in the kids night thats why he says we should dance like some fuckin twins and on a few other websites those are the lyrics they use but yea based on those lyrics hes basically sayin his sick of her childish games she can make amends on her own and spare him the suspense of filling him on what shes pissed about now

now if the lyrics are so cold in the pitch night i think hes basically saying lets call a spade a spade spare him the suspense because they are both the same and shes tryin to bullshit a bullshitter "got a taste that i cant deny" hes done wateva shes done too "we should dance like to fuckin twins" Twins meaning their identical "spare me the suspense" again saying no need for her to hold out he already knows cuz hes done the same "I wont let u sit by so cold in the pitch night alone u cant make amends" shes in the dark thinking shes the only one and he saying u cant figure it out on ur own cuz u don realize im the same

my first lyric meaning review so i can be TOTALLY wrong but thats my 2 cents and hey tell me wat u think

I think this song is about going to a strip club or something, secretively and being ashamed of it, but wanting to fulfil a lust and quickly, impatiently - 'spare me the suspense' and 'enough with this fucking insense' make me think of someone teasing but the narrator just wants to satisfy his urge immediately.

ohhh..this song is amazingggg..

I heard this for the first time @ BDO in ATl, its absolutely amazing, super incredible, interpol seems the grown quite a bit throughout the years. I cannot wait for the 10th of july

it should be

"Hey lady, wait I so hope you try You’re late, baby know it's your time"

I think these lyrics are wrong after listening to the album with headphones.. I think these are closer.

Spare me the suspense Spare me the suspense I got no currency, but I'm heaven sent

So spare me the suspense Just spare me the suspense

Hey lady wait, oh, I so hope you try You're late, babe you know it's your time

And I won't let you sit by So cold in the pitch Night, alone You can't make amends

No I won't let you sit by So cold in the pitch Now we should dance like two fucking twins Just spare me the suspense

There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road And the seven aching daddies you may want to know

Oooh, right on

Hey lady rain, oh baby I can't deny I got a taste, a taste, a taste and it's time

But I won’t let you sit by So cold in the pitch Night, alone You can’t make amends

No, I won’t let you sit by So cold in the pitch Now it’s enough with this fucking incense Just spare me the suspense

There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road Oh I know seven aging daddies you may want to know

When you played your heart out It made me turn around

Oooh, right on

Wait, and you froze in the night You're late, there's a hole in the sky No haste, no lesson, no lie Got a taste that I can't deny

i think this song used to be called Pawn Shop. i love it, whatever it's called.

Does anyone else think it's interesting that this is the only song (that I've heard anyway) that Paul swears in? He must be really mad. Brilliant song.

Nah, it's not the first song. "Bitch slap Maybelline" is one example. This song doesn't capture me right away...perhaps it needs more time.
