About

The album title says it all: Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?

It’s a song about underground anarchist punk love, where the “combat” is an uncomfortable double-entendre of A) activist combat against the mainstream in the streets, and B) the combat of a stormy relationship at home.

Combat Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Combat baby
Come back, baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
You said you would never give up easy
Combat baby, come back

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
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-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do)

[Chorus 2]
Combat baby
Come back, baby
Combat baby, come back
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby
Combat baby, come back

[Outro]
How I miss your ranting
Do you miss my all time lows?
