lyrics

Five, four, three, two, one…

Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody stole my heart
I turned my back for just a tick and it was gone
Now nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody speaks my name
I’m just another blister in the mouth of shame
A bug in Ender’s Game
Honey, two can play

Cho:
Hey, little baby, what would you say
If I took you further away
Now that countdown’s begun
Counting backwards to 1
On and on the endless debating
You get home and nobody’s waiting
Countdown’s begun
Five, four, three, two, one…

Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody jumped the gun
Oh-oh-oh they go just as quickly as they come
Now nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody understands
The promises between a woman and a man
Don’t always go as planned
Honey, take a stand

Cho:

Will you take the time to come inside? (x8)
Hey, little baby, what would you say
If I took you further away
Now that countdown’s begun
Counting backwards to 1
On and on the ethical breeches
Just to have a taste of the peaches
The injury’s done
But nobody’s one
5, 4, 3, 2…
5, 4, 3, 2…

Out on the starboard!
And from the portside!
Here come the blitzkrieg!
They beat a valentine drum!

Out on the starboard!
And from the portside!
Here come the blitzkrieg, blitzkrieg
Counting back to 1

I discovered this to be the most poignant love song I’ve heard in a long time. | The Burning Ear

It’s a bit like Grandaddy, The Postal Service and The Ting Tings forming a super band | Battery In Your Leg

This Beautiful Small Machines cover of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” easily won me over | IndieShuffle ... more

This soundtrack has pretty much made my entire childhood so I'm excited to hear the vinyl of it! Praying that one day we can hear the third album but no pressure, since everything surrounding it must've been super stressful to deal with. Always looking forward to hear your next work! imande

You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason i decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it. I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!! (also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book) praisedrays

No Dogs Allowed is one of those albums i knew i was going to adore the moment i started it. it's one of my all-time-favorites to this day, and it's been FOUR years since i listened to it for the first time... it kept me sane late into lockdown, and it did a great job. incredible sounds, incredible songwriting! roundestrow1et
