Post break-up sex - The Vaccines

Het debuutalbum van The Vaccines is een voltreffer van het soort van Is this it? (The Strokes), White blood cells (The White Stripes) en Silent alarm (Bloc Party). En dus mag de eerste single uit dit album, dat ik meermaals per dag draai, zeker niet ontbreken in deze rubriek. En let u ook even op de clip, die een kleurenpalet aanwendt dat al even nostalgisch aandoet als de muziek én als de lyrics. Per slot van rekening gaat het om het soort sex dat doorgaans zijn grootste troef haalt uit de nostalgie van de vervlogen relatie...

Het debuutalbum, What did you expect from The Vaccines ?, kan je hier kopen.

Lyrics :

I can barely look at you,
Don't tell me who you lost it to.
Didn't we say we had a deal?
Didn't I say how bad I feel?

Everyone needs a helping hand;
Who said I would not understand?
Someone up the social scale
for when you're going off the rails,

Chorus:
Have post break-up sex
that helps you forget your ex.
What did you expect from post break up sex?

Leave it till the guilt consumes
I found you in the nearest room
All our friends were unaware
Most had just passed out downstairs.

To think I'd hoped you'd be okay,
Now I can't think of what to say,
Maybe I misunderstood,
But I can't believe you're feeling good, from

Chorus x2:
Post break-up sex
that helps you forget your ex,
What did you expect from post break up sex?

Oh when you love somebody but you find someone,
uh huh huh,
And it all unravels and it comes undone
uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh,uh-huh-huh

Chorus x2:
From post break-up sex
that helps you forget your ex.
What did you expect from post break up sex?
