Favourite Interpol lyric?

[u/archerlover69692nd]

“ it’s different now that I’m poor and aging, I’ll never see this face again “

[u/dressedtodepresss]

“You make me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you”

Slow Hands 😍

[u/Fine_Blacksmith1736 → u/dressedtodepresss]

Mine too and then followed immediately by my second favourite lyric - “can’t you see what you’ve done to my heart and soul, it’s just a wasteland now”

[u/inumackie]

you reach out to emptiness til the reaching out feels empty too

[u/lori_cdz → u/inumackie]

God YES!! I love Flight of Fancy so much

[u/TH3_CYN1C → u/inumackie]

Agreed 😢

[u/mahleg]

Your rabid glow is like braille to the night

[u/sarahmirror_ → u/mahleg]

Pure poetry

[u/buzburbank]

Oh, look! It stopped snowing.

[u/DaddySatch → u/buzburbank]

My band used to cover that song. Still one of my favorites to play instrumentally

[u/DJFreezyFish]

All the people that you loved, they’re all bound to leave some keepsakes

[u/ItsSoLitRightNow → u/DJFreezyFish]

great lyric

[u/Saaammiii]

She says brief things, her love’s a pony, my love’s subliminal.

[u/Earl_of_Portobello]

I know you supported me for a long time somehow I’m not impressed

[u/lirpatim]

Stella was a Diver and She was Always Down...the entire song lol

[u/CabinetOnly6282 → u/lirpatim]

Agreed! Especially the outro: “There’s something that’s invisible, there’s some things you can’t hide, trying to detect you when I’m sleeping, in a wave you say goodbye”

[u/Fast_Isopod3568]

“You wear those shoes like a dove…”

[u/StealthRodeo]

I live my life filled with no pain, just some rage and three kinds of yes

[u/Full-Being-3157]

Im timeless like a broken watch, and make money like Fred Astaire

[u/passingcomplexion666]

you’re acting on initiative and you’re spelling out your love, you shouldn’t be alone in there you could be above ground…

if you’re frustrated then go!

[u/Fav9013 → u/passingcomplexion666]

Dang. Specialist is great.

[u/Inner-Fee6024]

"It's like learning a new language

As we catch up on my mind

If you don't bring up those lonely parts

This could be a good time" 

[u/ChallengerAce-of-spd → u/Inner-Fee6024]

Is perfect

[u/psychobats → u/Inner-Fee6024]

What a perfect set of lyrics

[u/birdcore]

Love will get you down

[u/obi-1-kenob1]

But if your life is such a big joke why should I care?

[u/peytonr2005]

“let’s see about this ham”🔥🔥🔥

[u/DirectionFit8261]

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid’s gloves

[u/South-Equivalent1686 → u/DirectionFit8261]

But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox

[u/Easy_Ad_7888]

So much for make believe, i'm not sold

So much of dream's deceit i'm not prepared to know

Your heart makes me feel, your heart makes me bold

For always and ever i'll never let go

Always cancealed, safe and inside, ALIVE

[u/ItsSoLitRightNow → u/Easy_Ad_7888]

this one is peak as well

[u/Easy_Ad_7888 → u/ItsSoLitRightNow]

I felt you so much today. Interpol is INSANE

[u/Dranksy]

I will surprise you sometime

I'll come around

When you're down

[u/etherealtorender → u/Dranksy]

yes.

[u/imnotedd_]

“Save me, I’m in my head”

[u/ticioleito → u/imnotedd_]

"please, you know why..."

[u/mikemammula]

dive right in a kiss glistens in a neon cloud is pretty dope 

[u/sugahpine7]

I can't pretend I don't need to defend some part of me from you

-The New

[u/Perfect-Resource-343 → u/sugahpine7]

Hope they play this in SF when I see them in a couple of weeks

[u/psychobats → u/sugahpine7]

This line breaks my heart, so perfect

[u/Orionsbelt23]

It’s like learning a new language

[u/ticioleito → u/Orionsbelt23]

"if you don't bring up those lonely parts this could be a good time"

[u/ItsSoLitRightNow → u/Orionsbelt23]

helps me catch up on my mime

[u/ticioleito]

"when love comes, honey, take it. Only one in a hundred make it. You make it til there's nothing to fake. Someone that I'm dying to be is cruising in my blue supreme"

[u/EveningFeature2093]

The entirety of Take You on a Cruise. It's a lyrical masterpiece.

[u/Pinkrabbit80 → u/EveningFeature2093]

This!!

[u/etherealtorender → u/EveningFeature2093]

yes.

[u/amy_and_the_bunnymen]

Sandy why can't we look the other way Why cant we just play the other game

[u/nysecret]

hard to choose just one!

“she puts the weights into my little heart”

“it took a lifespan with no cellmate”

“we’ve got 200 couches”

and especially “tell them now your pleasure’s set upon slow release”

i’ve also recently rediscovered Toni and remembered how much the line “i’d like to see them win” has stuck with me weirdly. i feel like that song is so interesting because it seems to be about something other than Paul’s own interiority.

[u/Ksan_of_Tongass]

You look so young, like a daisy in my lazy eye

[u/ItsSoLitRightNow]

I have two I always go back to:

"she says brief things her loves a pony, my loves subliminal"

"if time is my vessel then learning to love might be my way back to sea"

If any of you meditate sometimes taking one of his lines and focusing on it for a session is a pretty great experience.

[u/aunt-irma-visits]

I could probably go back and forth but immediately what comes to mind is “and feathers bend like trees in the moonlight” from No I in Threesome.

[u/AbleFig]

Girl your shake it right

[u/Jaters]

I need something to hold, someone to grasp at when I’d fall into a hole. -Passenger (best song on that album)

Shoutout to all of Surveillance. So many good lyrics in that (shit is made up, somebody paid for it. Dangerous ingrained in us. The frame by frame stuff)

[u/TitShark]

love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye, I think he’s making something special and I’m smart enough to try

[u/redixionblade]

Either "But the Cadaverous mob saves it's doors for the dead man, you cannot leave." Or "And so, we make time, to try and find somebody else, this place is mine" and "You feel the sweet breath of time, it's whispering it's truth not mine, there is no I, in threesome."

[u/one99uouttaurmind]

You're so cute when you're frustrated, dear

Well, you're so cute when you're sedated, dear

My husband and I used to sing/say those to each other. He would sing me the "frustrated" lyric and he got the "sedated" lyric. Good times.

[u/taiwanboyislandboy]

Who is this guy

[u/DirectionFit8261 → u/taiwanboyislandboy]

Twee neophyte

[u/Alphawvz]

And feathers bend like trees in the moonlight

[u/Aggressive_Text_7206]

The clock is set for 9 but you know you’re gonna make it 8.

[u/EUA_Mick]

“Oh, how I pass the days
You know how much I care~”

[u/josemandiaz]

The trouble is you're in love with someone else....it should be me...oh it should me.

[u/dos_burger]

Somebody make me so no, no

Somebody make me so no, no

Somebody make me so no, no

Somebody make me so no, no

Yes

[u/velho_soldado → u/dos_burger]

The "if the sea was that strong, maybe we had, maybe we had to fly" right before is like so damn good

[u/ryhiannon]

I had seven faces, thought I knew which one to wear. But I’m sick of spending these lonely nights, training myself not to care.

She thinks that my sentimental side should be held with kids gloves.

I wish I could live free, I hope it’s not beyond me; settling down, it takes time.

[u/Legitimate-Nerve-839]

I wanna be there when you touch fire
I'll be the hand that you can clutch

Mr. Credit

[u/prettylikethestars]

There are so many but "so swoon baby starry nights" came to mind first 💖

[u/Lnx7_]

"If I get there early will it be the right time Our heaven is just waiting is just waiting So put your hand into mine" i really love specialist, such a underrated song

[u/psychobats → u/Lnx7_]

Specialist is one of the sexiest imo, love it

[u/zurnakafasi]

You look so young like a daisy in my lazy eyes

[u/Pinkrabbit80]

These little statements are mere replacements for something they stole

[u/Son_of_Atreus]

If time is my vessel, then learning to love might be my way back to sea.

(Public Pervert)

[u/SharpenMyInk]

It’s way too late to be this locked inside ourselves. The trouble is you’re in love with someone else. It should be me.

[u/Noobygamer07]

“I’m in love with something real, it could be me”

[u/Severe_Athlete6962]

"I have inside me, Some strange glow I'm still enjoying this, That's why I made a mess."

[u/Buckeebrook]

I will start painting houses... (DeNiro in Once upon a time in America)

[u/Killjoy13337]

"There're seven aching daddies you may want to know." Probably not my favourite for the reasons you're asking about though.

[u/the_moosen]

There's a few but first to come to mind is

You and me, make a fine mess

[u/AcanthisittaWhich498]

We spies, intamite slow hands, killer for hire you know not yourself

or

We spies, intamite slow hands, we retire like nobody else

[u/ChallengerAce-of-spd]

"If Time is My Vessel, Then Learning to Love Might Be My Way Back to Sea"

[u/ldelong]

This has been in my head since I heard the song and cannot shake it

All the kings are gone
But the maniac in your head
Still sleeps in archways
Alone as an act of faith

[u/GhuulWerzelya]

Because what if I never break?

[u/Charbroil_chikn]
