but "thump" only makes sense if the reference is to the broken sail itself. "fuck like a broken sail" implies persistent unfaithfulness; that makes sense with the rest of the entire song.

but I do agree that it sounds like "thump", the first 109 times I heard this song I totally thought it was thump but then my friends kept hearing something else. The album packet has the real lyrics though. I wonder if The Kills are screwing with our ears. Hmmm.... :)

I'm going with 'fuck like a broken sail'.
What they're doing is providing a simile between the action of phyically act of fucking ('having sex' if you want to put a polite spin on it), with the intensity of a broken sail flapping in the wind.

Not trying to be nit-picky, but I think it's "thump" like a broken sail. That makes more sense. :)
Not sure why people dislike just because they think someone might be wrong. Plus, the liner notes say "Thump", so that's what I'm going with.
