LYRICS:
Oh there's something that I want to say to you And jumping in your face just wouldn't do 'Cos summer in the sun don't pay And sure if crazy's what you feel Then tell a soul Here's something on your plate Still getting cold Well ain't that just a crying shame It's hard having fun When you can't see the sun anymore Wasting my time out at sea When you're following me to the door It's hard having fun When you can't see the sun anyway Wasting my time out at sea When you're following all the way There's blackjacks running down my back And I said "stop!" 'cos I love you baby, I fight hard and blue, with you When I'm down and I say There's blackjacks running down my back And I said "stop!" 'cos I love you baby, I fight hard and blue, with you 'Cos you drive me crazy New York nothing, come and get stuck in Won't you come rocking, 'cos I gotta feel, When your beep-beeps get it Crazy don't sweat it Honey just forget it if you keep it real There's blackjacks running down my back And I said "stop!" 'cos I love you baby, I fight hard and blue, with you When I'm down and I say There's blackjacks running down my back And I said "stop!" 'cos I love you baby, I fight hard and blue, with you 'Cos you drive me crazy Teacher didn't you know I'm getting into the boat These boots are making me slow Ain't you going too fast! The future's selling the past You keep on telling me so.

The intensity is dialed down a bit, but there's no mistaking this for anything other than a Girls Aloud song. That said, there's a few melodic turns in "Black Jacks" that remind me a little bit of Oasis, but I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. After all, though there's some pretty obvious differences between the two, they both specialize in producing unstoppable hook machines that scramble sentimental cliches and total nonsense into inscrutable lyrics that somehow make sense in the context of a gigantic chorus.

'Black Jacks' is the closest you will get to 'Biology' on the new Girls Aloud album. In all honesty it doesn't sound a lot like 'Biology' but the chorus is an enormous drum-led Nadine-a-thon. (...) There is some cheerleading chanting on this song. Amazing. Popjustice
