Lyrics

The Vaccines — Minimal Affection

In a world of minimal affection

Can you give yourself in a word

To a girl with a washed-out complexion

She's a mutual friend of ours

Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?

Is there anyone there?

You forget how to make a connection

When you've wanted one for so long
