Okay, So I tabbed this song for both guitars, each with there own section. For the
part, this song is accurate. Theres just little things that you might have to play
with to get the song to sound right. Occasionally, there's strange effects coming out of
right speaker that I can't seem to hear, so this is as close as I can get it. Brace yourselves..
7/17/07: Updated Rhythm Guitar, Pre Chorus on Lead Guitar
8/21/07: Sorry for the delay. Re tabbed almost the entire song. Hopefully this is more accurate.

	this song actually gets better the more you listen to it. just like turn on the bright lights.

No Picture Sal Average	#2 by Sal With The Lights Out at Sep 28, 2007 at 1:26 AM EST
	I believe the song could be a metaphor... about a guy who was crushed by a lover that distances themselves emotionally. He hears from others that she is doing well. He is amazed how comfortably she has moved into her new "shoes." "Now strut those shoes" - go do your thing. But as he says that his mind drifts to the past - "We'll go roaming in the night." He quickly catches his thoughts with - "How are things on the west coast." In the next verse he realizes that she is doing what she wants. He tried to keep hope alive for the future by - "I'v tried the brakes." But he couldn't handle the ride alone emotionally. He catches his thoughts again with - "How are things on the West Coast." Then his emotional peak of his love for her - "Oh and move heaven behind those eyes.." But he realizes that it is over and that he needs to move on - "Today my heart swings" The lyrics are straight forward until - "Yeah, but you're an actress I don't identify." This is where he he realizes that to change this much she must have been lying/acting with him. But how could she, I couldn't have been so foolish, she stole my heart! "But I don't want to play the part" - I'm no longer playing your game. It is over. I keeps running through his mind until - "Let it come." Which signifies the actual point that he stops thinking about moving forward and really does. He lets go and takes control back of his life. He is moving forward - "Well I've got a plan, look forward in my eyes." Great sound, universal meaning, love INTERPOL

	awesome awesome song. slightly remincent to not even jail but with much more pop.

No Picture aaron Average	#4 by aaron tilton at Sep 28, 2007 at 11:59 PM EST
	by the way, does anybody else think that this song sounds a hell of a lot angrier and very different from interpol's previous stuff? [yes that was a very random question...]

No Picture phoen Average	#5 by phoen bay at Sep 29, 2007 at 12:22 PM EST
	Amazing.

No Picture Bert Wanna Be	#6 by Bert Hastings at Sep 30, 2007 at 12:49 AM EST
	mm, xiagox, youre confusing the heimlich maneuver [which you use on people that are choking to get the food out of their windpipes] with that swimming/person drowning maneuver...

No Picture JustiN Professional	#7 by JustiN at Sep 30, 2007 at 3:24 AM EST
	this song gets better every time I hear it, it's just so...wow

	kudos SMS, run-on sentence power indeed.

No Picture Bodhi Average	#9 by Bodhi Bassist at Sep 30, 2007 at 2:32 PM EST
	this is a great fucking song. i love the singer's voice, it's got a haunting edge to it. there's obviously a heavy ian curtis influence there.

No Picture Cody Wanna Be	#10 by Cody Kavesh at Sep 30, 2007 at 10:41 PM EST
	everyone always comes back to interpol. it's about being in love and the paranoia it induces. he still cares a lot about her, but whenever he starts to worry that she is cheating on him because she's far away, he wonders what it would be like to leave her - "today my heart swings". i think it's also a less obvious way of asking her to pick him over all the temptation she has. oh my god, if this is an indication of things to come, this album is going to be awesome, i take back everything.

No Picture Dan Average	#11 by Dan T at Oct 1, 2007 at 12:24 AM EST
	Normalement j'ADORE interpol, mais cette chanson ne me plait pas trop... ça ressemble effectivement à "not even jail" mais je préfère. Elle est définitivement trop pop, et répétitive aussi. C'est la première chanson d'interpol que je ne prends pas vraiment plaisir à entendre. C'est triste.

No Picture Spitzer Average	#12 by Spitzer at Oct 1, 2007 at 6:37 PM EST
	tricksiness, i wouldn't say so....he sounds pretty angry for most of Antics too, although perhaps more on the bitter/resigned side...

No Picture Phillip Wanna Be	#13 by Phillip Doucette at Oct 1, 2007 at 7:00 PM EST
	MAGNEFIQUE

No Picture Tony Wanna Be	#14 by Tony Moreno at Oct 2, 2007 at 4:34 AM EST
	lol first time i heard this song on the radio, I thought it was the Killers (given the fact that the radio seems to love them so much in recent months). anyone else notice a similarity in the sound or am i totally insane? 1

No Picture Ben Average	#15 by Ben at Oct 2, 2007 at 6:20 AM EST
	"You wear those shoes like a dove" I never realized birds wore shoes...

No Picture Skye Average	#16 by Skye at Oct 2, 2007 at 1:24 PM EST
	Wonderful.

No Picture Tomo Average	#17 by Tomo at Oct 2, 2007 at 5:58 PM EST
	interpol has truly mastered the art of subtlety in their music, as the song progresses more and more layers are slid underneath until the climax, but you have to listen for them to hear them, at first listen they blend perfectly so much so that you do not notice them. the levels are perfect, their producer and composer are very talented.

No Picture Jesse Wanna Be	#18 by Jesse at Oct 2, 2007 at 9:37 PM EST
	say them perform this in vegas.. absolutly amazing

No Picture Dany Average	#19 by Dany Meyerink at Oct 3, 2007 at 12:09 AM EST
	To me the song is basically about a girl a guy once loved( an ex maybe) that is starting to temp him once again, even though the guy knows that the relationship is not worth it. The lines "How are things on the West Coast" implies they have been seperated and they meet each other again as the speaker cant stop watching the girl dance However he realizes the folly of being lured back into a relationship that had some problem. "Ive tried the brakes" but he acknowledges that ignoring her will be a "lonely ride." He has a chance for a "sweet saint life" that is being threatened by the renewed feelings he has for the girl. This conflict within himself is causing his "heart to swing" And for the title of the song, my interpretation is that it is referring to a brutal type of "Heimlich Manuever"(Heinrich Himmler was leader of the SS in Nazi Germany). This is symbolic because he is trying to expel the girl that is causing a "lump in his throat" and choking him.

No Picture Angelica Professional	#20 by Angelica HAVOK at Oct 3, 2007 at 5:29 PM EST
	birds dont wear shoes which means it must mean you wear those shoes, for example a dove i.e. you enjoy wearing a dove as footwear

No Picture Mike Average	#21 by Mike M at Oct 3, 2007 at 6:45 PM EST
	the guitars on this song are so goddamned rocking... and when paul banks says "MY GOD" it's probably the most frustrating thing i've ever heard. damn this new album is INCREDIBLE.

No Picture Angus Rhythm Player	#23 by Angus Young at Oct 6, 2007 at 2:10 PM EST
	an old love of his from far away shows up. he still has feelings for her, and i guess might want to 'hook up'. he knows if she gets involved with his life, then he won't be able to live it the way he wants to. "How are things on the West Coast? I hear you movin' real fine You wear those shoes like a dove Now strut those shoes We'll go roaming in the night Well how are things on the West Coast?" he meets her, tells her she looks nice, asks if she wants to chill. "You keep it movin' to your soul's delight Now I've tried the brakes I've tried but you know it's a lonely ride How are things on the West Coast? Oh and move heaven behind those eyes..." she just does what she wants to do and could ruin his life (which seems to be planned out), and he's given up on her before and knows it's lonely, and now he's thinking about putting her before his dreams for the future. "Today my heart swings Yeah, today my heart swings But I don't want to take your heart And I don't want a piece of history No I don't want to read your thoughts anymore My God..." his heart's swinging back in forth bewteen what he wants for himself in the future and what he wants at the moment (her). he doesn't want her to fall in love with him. he doesn't want a repeat of last time. he doesn't want to be close to her anymore. "Cause I've got a chance for a sweet saint life I said I've got a dance and you'll do just fine Well I've got a plan, look forward in my eyes" he's got a chance to make his life exactly how he wants it, but he has a moment to be with her, cause what he wants is in the future. basically, exactly what electriceel01 said.
