Wipe it up, you're capable
Of putting back a few
When you have to memorize
The history of your body like a virgin

    Maybe because her voice is extremely cute in this song? Well, sort of combined purity and cuteness, I think. :)

    "I don't feel so far away from you when you love me on the sly" I am very much in love with Metric's lyrics.
