Album: In Rainbows

Favourite Line: I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be your lover

Sometimes the more simpler songs just come out right and sound better. Despite there being a clearly large level of post mixing production involved, in regards to instrumentals this song is as basic as it gets. Simple guitar riffs a gentle beat and bass line combined with timid vocals simply combines for an overall pleasing experience. Lyrically the song tackles the subject of infidelity in the most non-judgmental way. 'Forget about your house of cards, and I'll do mine' can easily be translated to, 'forget about your shitty non-exciting relationship, and come sleep with me instead'. Maybe not the most moral of songs, but brilliant nonetheless.
