| | Evil Lyrics Artist(Band):Interpol
Heaven restores you in life Coming with me Through the aging, the fearing, the strife It's the smiling on the package It's the faces in the sand It's the thought that holds you upwards Embracing me with two hands Right will take you places Yeah maybe to the beach When your friends they do come crying Tell them now your pleasure's set up on slow-release Hey wait Great smile sensitive to faith not Denial But hey who's on trial? It took a life span with no cell mate with The long way back Saying, me, why can't we look the other way? We speaks about travel Yeah, we think about the land We smile like all peoples Feeling real tan I could take you places Do you need a new man? Wipe the pollen from the faces Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van Hey wait Great smile sensitive to faith not Denial But hey who's on trial? It took a life spent with no cell mate To find the long way back Saying, me,why can't we look the other way? You're weightless, you are exotic You need something for which to care Saying, me, why can't we look the other way? Leave some shards under the belly Lay some grease inside my hand It's a sentimental jury And the makings of a good plan You've come to love me nightly Yeah you've come to hold me tight Is this motion everlasting Or do shutters pass in the night? Rosemary Oh heaven restores you in life I spent a lifespan with no cell mate The long way back Saying "me why can't we look the other way?" You're weightless, semi-erotic You need someone to take you there Saying, me,why can't we look the other way? Why can't we just play the other game? Why can't we just look the other way?

Review about Evil Interpretation... | Reviewer: manny | 11/5/09 It took me a while to figure this song out - extremely hard to piece together, but after reading the interpretations on the web, and reading more about Paul Banks, I think I got it. Paul Banks was fascinated with serial killers, and as a literally major in college, probably with a lot of ideas around the inner workings of people. The references to the Rosemary West killings are pretty clear (not just her name, but the "trial", "cellmate" and "shards under the belly". Still, it doesn't make sense that this is from Fred West until the final year of his life are looked at. He confessed to the killing pretty quickly - suggesting remorse. And he attempted to make some kind of emotional contact with Rosemary...he tried twice and failed. And a few weeks later, committed suicide. I think this song is the story of Fred West dealing with the evil he had done, and trying to reach Rosemary...the Biblical references are pretty clear. So this is his story after he committed suicide and what he'd say to her. The first verse of the song is about embracing Heaven and god. "Heaven restores you in life" - this is a clear reference to being alive and that there is a means to salvation in life. The rest of the verse is about what that is and if she comes with him what she gets - it's the smile on the package, the faces in the sand, the thought that holds you up, their embraces - all the good things in life...the "slow-release" (inner peace) as opposed to the instant and twisted gratification of torturing their victims. The next verse is his message to her: Hey wait, great smile (his nickname for her?) - have faith and don't deny (Just confess and faith - don't play the victim card)...then again, "but hey who's on trial" An admission he coped out by committing suicide - so he can sympathize with her decision. Then he confesses to her what his life was about. Being completely alone (a lifespan without a cellmate) searching for a way out...from the trap of just looking the other way to everything he did - all the suffering he caused. That's the root of his "evil". Just look the other way. What was wrong with that? The next verse describes that world of what could be or could have been - perhaps the afterlife or fantasy existence. "I could take you places....Make a revision to a dream...." Later on, the line, "You need something to which to care" - I think a reference to how serial killers are considered uncaring. The next verse talks about their crimes, how they hoped to presume innocence and hope for a sympathetic jury....and whether or not they really loved each other and if that was over - "Is this motion everlasting or do shutters pass in the night" The final verse mentions that she needs someone to take her there - perhaps him or someone else (earlier - "do you need another man"). and changes the chorus - "...play the other game" a reference to their interaction not involving the girls they tortured and murdered. Suggesting once again, his remorse. What the...? | Reviewer: Chuck Snow | 10/9/09 What the hell does this song have to do with the wests? The only connection I can find is the fact that the song uses the name Rosemary. Can anyone enlighten me as to how everyone makes the gigantic leap from the fact the song uses the word "rosemary" to the apparent shared conclusion that it must be about Rosemary West? (YES, I've 'googled' and 'searched' and 'binged' and 'Yahoo'd'.) Evil | Reviewer: Brad Robey | 8/20/09 great name for this song,im like obsessed with serial killers and that type of crazy twisted shit so this song is like a beautiful masterpiece to me...rosemary heavan restores you in life but may you burn peacefully.. Good song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/6/09 I personally think it awesome how Interpol turned the sick and twisted story of Rosemary West and her husband into a love lost and love sick song. It really makes you think about how good they are to be able to such a thing. I had no idea what the song was about till I looked up Rosemary West as well, but it all makes since now. I assume the song is song from the aspect of her husband after he killed himself...which if you think about it that way it all makes since. Like it, Now Love It! | Reviewer: Dylan | 3/24/09 Like most people are saying, its a good song with a catchie tune and lyrics but when you read the lyrics and pay attention to them and look up Rosemary West like I did its becomes a whole new song like most songs but this one has meaning like the old life chaning music, which is just rare in today's music, but I'm only in my early teens so what do I know? meaning | Reviewer: spoon | 2/27/09 I thought that this song was about Rosemary from Rosemary's Baby ;](you know Roman Polansky movie). I'v newver heard of Rosemary West before, but now when i know it, this song has whole new meaning to me. Influence | Reviewer: JK | 11/2/07 Wonderful song, most certainly influenced by Joy Division and Paradise Lost. Best song on the album with a lot of love to detail in the arrangements. Interpol | Reviewer: Nero | 10/16/07 I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I´ve ever heard and Interpol one of the bests bands all over the world. I discovered them a few weeks ago while I was watching the news and now I´m listening their music all day...Paul Banks has a fantastic and unmistakable voice like Brandon Flowers from The Killers, another of my favourite bands (their songs are really funny). I love indie rithm...very original clarafication | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/14/07 Rosemary West was the wife of Fred West. Between them they raped and murdered around eleven girls in Gloucester, UK. Including their own daughter. Sick fucks Fred West hung himself whilst awaiting trial, Rosemary West remains imprisoned, clinging on to the memories of her friendship with Myra Hindley What "Evil" is about | Reviewer: paul valario | 7/3/07 Hot love that a puppet made by Charlie White has for a girl who got into a crash with an SUV. What the hell is a puppet doing driving anyways?! Puppets can't drive. It should have known better.
