Elastica - My Sex Lyrics






What I want
Mornings to the winter and afternoons to the summer

What I want
Is for you to be waiting round the other side of every door

What I want
To walk through the wardrobe of other bodies that we have known

What I want
Is fifteen minutes of you

What I want
A lover who loves me when others have loved me not

What I want
Is a big love, two spoons in a drawer, the master plan

What I want
A lover who can love me slowly

What I want
To make your heartbeat faster

What I want
Is a room with a three-bar fire, like the one you had before
When you were poor and I just liked you more

What I want
To be in the park in the morning
The long shadows on the grass and the swans still asleep

What I want
Is to love you everywhere and everyhow

What I want
To kiss you until our lips are numb

What I want
Kiss you till everywhere hurts

What I want
Is to hear the rain against the window again

Elastica My Sex Comments
  1. H.... ....

    In 2017 when I was 15 years old I became obsessed with Elastica. Listened to their albums once through every night, collected old magazine clippings on them, downloaded bootlegs, read every interview. Although I don’t listen to them nearly as much these days this is the song that takes me right back to being that 15 year old lonely kid who finally found something worthwhile in his life . I’ll always love this band.

    What I want
    Mornings to the winter and afternoons to the summer

    What I want
    Is for you to be waiting round the other side of every door

    What I want
    To walk through the wardrobe of other bodies we have known

    What I want
    Is fifteen minutes of you

    What I want
    A lover who loves me when others have loved me not

    What I want
    Is a big love, two spoons in a drawer, the master plan

    What I want
    A lover who can love me slowly

    What I want
    To make your heartbeat faster

    What I want
    Is a room with a three-bar fire, like the one you had before,
    When you were poor and i just liked you more

    What I want
    To be in the park in the morning, the
    Long shadows on the grass and the swans still asleep

    What I want
    Is to love you everywhere and everyhow

    What I want
    To kiss you until our lips are numb

    What I want
    Kiss you 'til everywhere hurts

    What I want
    Is to hear the rain against the window again

    Such an amazing song... Wish it had a video... Needs to get a revamp and go viral.

  4. M.... G....

    Justine Frischmann said in an interview once that the first time she played this for Damon Albarn, after they'd broken up, he literally shed a tear. She said, "It felt goooood!"

    M.... G....

    Why did she say it felt good, after he shed a tear?

    M.... G....

    I know, i think its possible she may have said that to cover her pain for that moment that she couldve felt as well, but still it certainly made her sound very cruel.

  5. A.... G....

    Best cover of/reply to a song ever, sorry This Mortal Coil

  6. D.... S....

    Будь всегда счастлива, малышка из Череповца)

  7. T.... ....

    there's so many nods to the smiths here

    T.... ....

    I got the 15 minutes one, what else is there out of curiosity?

  8. W.... V....

    'The Menace' is so underrated. Some of their best songs are on it. 'My Sex' is pure poetry.

    W.... V....

    Wout Vl I've always liked "The Menace" a lot.

  9. R.... S....

    This has nothing to do with Essex Dogs and was composed in 1996.

    R.... S....

    It was originally written sometime in 1997, but who knows what that early recording sounded like? Blur's eponymous album, on which 'Essex Dogs' appears, was released early that year. So maybe she heard it before writing her song, maybe not. Either way, 'My Sex' wasn't completed until 'The Menace' in 2000 - plenty of time to make the song sound like it could be an answer to Blur's track.

  10. M.... D....

    love it!

  11. s.... ....

    classic track.
    classic album.

  12. J.... R....

    agreed. justine obviously copied this style from damon after hearing essex dogs.

    J.... R....

    I think she made this record in direct response, almost track by track,
    to Blur's album '13' is actually about Damon's breakup with
    Justine.

  13. g.... ....

    It reminds me of Essex Dogs by Blur

    g.... ....

    I think she made this record in direct response, almost track by track, to Blur's album '13' is actually about Damon's breakup with Elastica's Justine.

  14. D.... ....

    Thanks for playing this Jarvis. I was cleaning my kitchen when this song came on the radio. I just froze to the spot and listened. Totally mesmerising ....

  15. E.... N....

    Did Ultravox! ever get their cut?

  16. s.... ....

    at last i found u!...

  17. s.... ....

    "What I want / Is for you to be waiting round the other side of every door" - this verse kills me every time

  18. L.... S....

    This girl made me this cd one time. She told me to listen to this song. I didn't get why at the time. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

  19. r.... ....

    Love this tune.. I heard it by accident when I accidently brought their album in 1999 after mistaking it for another one.. but I loved this song.. real special.. should have been more famous and well spread.. would be great in a film..

  20. T.... D....

    Love this song.
