Love the hardness of the guitar in this one, and the echoes at around 2:30. Can't wait to buy the album to play in my car!

[Verse 1]
When I chip through your candy coating
You're stuffed with insulation
Just strawberry ice cream floating
With a sprinkle of indignation
Cherry under knot of shoestring
Conflate and agitate
[Pre-Chorus]
You're a plimsoll punk
You're a plimsoll punk
[Chorus]
And you're gettin' me down, gettin' me down, gettin' me down
Gettin' me down down down, you're gettin' me down
Gettin' me down, gettin' me down, gettin' me down
Plimsoll punk
[Bridge]
Your posture's blocking out any possible light
I can hardly see
This conversation spirals into a fight
I can barely breathe
[Verse 2]
Who ran from Roman candles
Underneath a willow weeping?
Do the tealights on your mantel
Illuminate that summer feeling?
You're the seashell in my sandal
That's slicing up my heel
[Pre-Chorus]
You're a plimsoll punk
You're a plimsoll punk
[Chorus]
And you're getting me down, gettin' me down, gettin' me down
Gettin' me down down, down you're gettin' me down
R-r-r-racking my brain, trying to escape, getting me down
Plimsoll punk
Plimsoll punk
[Bridge]
Your posture's blocking out any possible light
I can no longer see
This conversation spirals into a fight
I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Gettin' me down, gettin' me down, you're gettin' me down
Gettin' me down down down, you're gettin' me down
Gettin' me down, gettin' me down, you're gettin' me down
Plimsoll punk
Plimsoll punk
[Outro]
Plimsoll punks

This track is now my most favourite Alvvays song. Really great for so many reasons. Love that the band has kept their sound but also evolved. Most bands fail at that. For me personally, I feel a little nostalgic as it has some Johnny Marr/Smiths type riffs/chord progressions but still uniquely Alvvays.

I can't believe Alvvays aren't HUGE by now. This easily beats anything on the radio.
