All Points East 2026: Interpol's New York state of mind
More than two decades into their career, Interpol have returned home to New York with a renewed hunger to make their best music yet. For album eight, perfection is still the only goal.
Lyrics
Oh Fuck the ancient ways They are heretofore Show no claim
Oh Got the time, won't seek They are oh still coming to beat the street (At the station)
The city feeds us all like babes And we've taken a bow (At the station)
Oh Shape the fight of sound Become beautifully bound To pound
Oh Fuck the ancient ways They are ringing doorbells that let in my waste (At the station)
The city needs us and all our rage And surprise in your eyes (At the station)
What we need, this empire grows Every stage we'll find (At the station)
To be beaten by the weight of it They are to be beaten by the weight (At the station)
Come in people and enjoy the glow Every change we allow (At the station)
The city sees us all like babes And we've taken a bow (At the station)
To be beaten by the weight of it They are beaten by the weight (At the station)
Should we seek them for the sake of it? Nay, we greet them right away
