  • 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
    Get 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 want to paint it black
    I want to 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 would never 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
    Do do do doo
    Do do doo
    Do do doo
    Do do doo
    Do do do doo

    Combat baby, come back baby
    Combat baby, come back
    Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
    Combat baby, come back

    How I miss your ranting
    Do you miss my all time lows? Writer/s: Emily Haines, James Shaw
