Under Your Thumb Lyrics
Hanging out some
Underneath European sun
Hanging out under your thumb
Under it, second to none
I don't mind about taking it slow
I’m perfectly aware of what I’m yet to know
Mutually assumed, utterly consumed
Totally adored, Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Take it in your stride but don't string me along
I wouldn't tie you down but if you did do me wrong
Thoroughly unnerved, equally perturbed
Totally adored, Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Underneath European sun
Hanging out under your thumb
Under it, second to none
I’m perfectly aware of what I’m yet to know
Mutually assumed, utterly consumed
Totally adored, Eleanor
Eleanor
I wouldn't tie you down but if you did do me wrong
Thoroughly unnerved, equally perturbed
Totally adored, Eleanor
Eleanor

He loves her and will do anything for her... she isnt as keen
Justin Young (Vaccines' frontman) said this about "Under Your Thumb" "This was a song we battled with in terms of arrangement. We all loved the song and settled on this. Its fun and a fun love song!" (Source: http://www.craveonline.com/music/articles/168591-advance-vaccines-full-album-stream)
Also, I think the lyric "European sun" is a reference to the Velvet Underground song "European Son" though it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the meaning of that song. In an old interview, Jay Jay Pistolet (Justin Young) said he loved the Velvet Underground & Nico album.
