lyrics
we used to leave the blue lights on and there was a beat
ever since you have been gone it’s all caffeine-free
faux punk fatigues
said it all before
they try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
yet no harm done no
none of them want to fight me
combat baby come back baby
fight off the lethargy
don’t go quietly
combat baby
said you would never give up easy
combat baby come back
get back in town I wanna paint it black
I wanna get around
easy living crowd so flat
said it all before
they try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong but
No one here wants to fight me like you do
combat baby come back baby
fight off the lethargy
don’t go quietly
combat baby
said you were never gonna give up easy
combat baby come back
I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty mild seventies child
Every mighty mild seventies child
Beats me
Do do doo do do doo do do doo doo do do doo(x2)
Combat baby come back baby
Combat baby come back
fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight baby
Combat baby come back
how I miss your ranting
do you miss my all time lows
ever since you have been gone it’s all caffeine-free
faux punk fatigues
said it all before
they try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
yet no harm done no
none of them want to fight me
combat baby come back baby
fight off the lethargy
don’t go quietly
combat baby
said you would never give up easy
combat baby come back
get back in town I wanna paint it black
I wanna get around
easy living crowd so flat
said it all before
they try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong but
No one here wants to fight me like you do
combat baby come back baby
fight off the lethargy
don’t go quietly
combat baby
said you were never gonna give up easy
combat baby come back
I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty mild seventies child
Every mighty mild seventies child
Beats me
Do do doo do do doo do do doo doo do do doo(x2)
Combat baby come back baby
Combat baby come back
fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight fight baby
Combat baby come back
how I miss your ranting
do you miss my all time lows

Cool It Down
by Yeah Yeah Yeahssupported by 33 fans who also own “Combat Baby”
Epic. Simply one of those songs that hits you square in the heart and makes you feel something. Perfect track for the dance scene in the film The Gorge with Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy. Good movie, this song captures the moment and soul of the film.

Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour
by Yann TiersenThe French Breton composer's latest is actually two albums in one; eight serene piano sequences followed by a potent dose of electronic pop.
go to album -
The ex-Pipette gets introspective and torchy on her third solo record of adult contemporary pop.
go to album -
The Aussies drape post-punk in bleary ambient synths, murky, melted-down riffs, and for added sweetness, a dusting of garage pop.
