Under the sun
Look what we have got
and those who have said
red love
We've be running 'round
Pushing the shopping cart
January 2012
Even in the suburbs [I run?]
A brick in a castle
that can't fall
On its own [the run?]
This is what [burns?]
These nice eyes, eyes, eyes
Tell me you
Another kid needs to suck on my thumb
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Tell me here
Another kid, next to suck on my thumb
Under the sun
Picking piles of
flowers to the florist cart
It's all that I've got
On my doorstep
Screaming help
I'm telling you stories
Trust me
And we write history
to suit our needs
Open my country
The truth will run
Eye, eyes, eyes, eyes
Tell me here
Some other kid is sucking on my thumb
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Tell me here
Another kid needs to suck on my thumb
Borders likes the idea
What's my strange desire
Drawing lines with a ruler
bring the fuel to the fire
Borders likes the idea
What's my strange desire
Drawing lines with a ruler
bring the fuel to the fire

And we write history/To suit our needs/Open my country/The truth will run
As a lead single “A Tooth For an Eye” lays it all out there. It’s a foundational touchstone that sets the stage for larger examinations on how history is recorded, internalized and repeated. Karin’s falsetto pierces like a needlepoint, giving her lyrics a precise, yet antagonizing tone; [LISTEN].
Another kid needs to suck on my thumb
With a uniquely catchy groove under Bjork-ish vocals, The Knife deliver a solid single about who knows what. The video doesn’t add much insight, outside of a slight, humorous left-turn in gender roles. “Another kid sucking my thumb” won’t change the boys’ club music industry, but it’s a good listen.
