Oh, what a sweet Saturday/And the night is still young/Oh, there’s a flood coming soon/This rush is just like a tidal wave
from Tidal Wave lyrics by Interpol
If it weren’t for the slight verse/chorus/bridge incongruity, this would be a perfect single – as it is, it’s still an instantly more appealing “Ancient Ways.” The climax satisfies, the hook’s a simple yet interesting metaphor, resulting in a solid example of ‘new-wave-for-those-less-into-self-pity.’
