Excerpt from a NME Magazine dated sometime before the album was released:
“We were playing Length of Love on tour last year. I will never say what this song is about – I will never tell. It’s an abomination to the English language but it has a very specific meaning to me.”
[Verse 1]
This could be destiny
Oh, sweetheart
I've had no sense of time
Since we started
I've got friends in need
Oh, sweetheart
I've grown lengths and lengths
And lengths of love
Since we started this thing out
[Chorus]
Combat salacious removal
Combat salacious removal
[Verse 2]
There is a bitter breed
Oh, sweetheart
They will be watching you sometimes
With their bitter hearts
But we are through with these
Oh, we're shifting the heartache
We want strong summer love
The most robust of blood
Just to stay awake
[Chorus]
Combat salacious removal
Combat salacious removal
Combat salacious removal
Length of Love was written by Interpol.
