Open your eyes and stretch your hands
This house is clean but it is not my home
Did I make this bed
The two hands touch on two
Sometimes I think of some place colder
The sound of traffic and the way it's worn
When you feel yourself grow up inside of here
And you love me just like a stranger
But you love me just like I am
Remember we ran through lovely streets
We made our rules and then we broke them first
It felt like we were running all the time
But I wouldn't give one ugly moment
I'd wrap it up, I'd keep it in my sock
I can keep it, yeah, I know what's yours is mine
And you love me just like a stranger
But you love me when
I slip into the sleep that lets me love some other day
We get bored of weakness all the time
Now I won't know how much I lost until I've gone away
Your sun sets when my sun starts to shine

As once said by "It's Hard to Find a Friend" (we don't have any love affair with its creator, I swear) this is one of the best "waking up" songs to ever reach my ears as well as an excellent album opener. The song has a slow development (it builds and builds and builds and never explodes) that will exasperate most people but that certainly haunts me. The repetitive guitar riffs and the plucking are beautiful, making this song a wonderful, quotidian one. As for the rest of the album, it might not be as praised as some of their previous EPs, but it's certainly worth hearing... wait, did I say worth hearing? Screw this! It's a "must hear". Songs like "Kid gloves", "Firecracker", "Brother in conflict" or "Blood red blood" put the band at the same level than major acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party or Franz Ferdinand. There's one slight difference, though: Voxtrot is even better.
