Boston Manor - Laika Lyrics






They say the truth's your best defence
I'm bleeding just to pay the rent
And broken dreams mean nothing
When you need something
Just to get you through the year

And now we're moving out
So pack your clothes, your books, your doubt
And bring the piece of paper
That I gave you, back when you were all alone

Letters sent home
With no return address
I've got a bag full of old clothes
I've got a bag full of stress

I'm so sorry that I'm leaving
You so little to believe in

Cause we had a house with a perfect door
And a front room with the right decor
And I came and wrecked it all
Yes I came and wrecked it all like I always do
Cause I didn't think
And I poured your life down the kitchen sink
With the dregs of yesterday
And now I'm going to be late
I'm sorry

I'm so sorry that I'm leaving
You so little to believe in
Just tell me, that you're free, of your woes and of me
There's weather more reliable than me

I'm calling base command
As the last bit of oxygen runs out but
They're down there softly sleeping
The sun sets over the Pacific region
I'm sitting here hanging in the balance
Just barely in the atmosphere
I'm sitting here hanging in the balance
Just barely in the atmosphere

I'm so sorry that I'm leaving
You so little to believe in
Just tell me, that you're free, of your woes and of me
There's weather more reliable than me

As lonely as Laika
Up there all alone
You miss the atmosphere
The stars are now your home

  9. W.... D....

    These lyrics tho

  10. T.... W....

    so grateful to have heard this, im in love

  11. I.... ....

    Can someone explain the music video to me please?
    I can't seem to piece it together.

  12. P.... E....

    pretty sure Guardin ripped of the opening of this song in his song, "useless"

    P.... E....

    Sampled*

  13. H.... C....

    Just so everyone knows, this song is not directly about Laika, the space dog. The band said this themselves during an acoustic performance of the song :)

  14. T.... V....

    Heard these guys on a concert in brussels and i was so surprised how good they were glad they were on tour with good charlotte or i would never find out of them keep going guys u rock !

  15. C.... L....

    The song rocks dude.

  17. r.... ....

    Best song i have listened to in a while

  18. E.... D....

    This makes me wanna puke now that I know what it’s about

  19. P.... S....

    Literally the most underrated band out there. This song is perfect and has the perfect video to it. I cant explain it. Such a good vibe.

  20. M.... G....

    Holy shit, this band is going to get huge! I’m so happy I found you guys, all my music was getting so bland

  21. K.... ....

    That change at 2:20 when everything gets slower is one of my favorite parts of any song. It’s so catchy and soothing. The base command line also reminds me of David Bowie’s Space Oddity. Love this song

  22. M.... J....

    This song has been stuck in my head for quite some time and I could never remember who it was by, until now

  23. M.... S....

    Amazing voice!!!💗💗💗💗💗

  24. N.... M....

    i decided to look up my name:Laika,and this came up

  25. K.... R....

    There's weather more reliable than me

  26. J.... R....

    Amazing song

  27. G.... W....

    R.I.P. Laika, 60 years have passed. You didn't deserve it. I cry when I hear about her. She was all alone 😢

  28. a.... m....

    REST IN PEACE LAIKA; MY FAVORITE SOVIET SPACE DOG WHO KISSED THE STARS FOR US ALL

  29. D.... N....

    A taste of "Talking Back Sunday," influence in there. :)

  30. T.... S....

    Too many guitars

    T.... S....

    i would disagree

  31. A.... H....

    they fucking killed it at warped

  32. C.... a....

    This video reminds me of "Gum" by Moose Blood.

  33. M.... D....

    come to brazil!

  34. i.... z....

    Idk how BM got into one of my favorite playlists and even tho I liked their music I would skip them to listen the same as everyday. One day I gave them the chance and then the name of this song caught my attention, now it’s one of my favorite songs because it gives me feelings for hundreds of things at the same time, makes me incredibly emotional and I appreciate that. Thought that they were playing on VWT this year but sadly they aren’t, now I’m sad, k bye.

  35. T.... D....

    I thought that this song was supposed to mean “at a time” because in another language it means that (not sure which one), but this is so much more sad

  36. R.... Z....

    I don´t know how many times I've heard this song last 2 months. Great fucking album :)))

  37. S.... ....

    i love you

  38. I.... ....

    Muito foda mesmo LAIKEI

  39. U.... ....

    This song doesn’t have a million hits yet? This is like an anthem

  40. b.... r....

    Huecos kls

  41. A.... S....

  42. J.... L....

    Btw, Laika was a dog, owned by the Soviet Space Program, she was one of the first animals in space, and the first to orbit Earth. Laika died on November Third, 1957, in Low Earth Orbit.



    Like any of you really wanted to know..

  43. M.... _....

    Still listening to this song in 2018. Ha ha ha this comment is so clever no one has ever said that before

  44. J.... A....

    This may be a dumb question, but are the lyrics pertaining to Laika, the space dog?

    J.... A....

    The Armadillo yeh

  45. a.... ....

    the heart wrenching meaning of the video tho

  46. S.... ....

    What does anyone think this song is about?

  63. A.... K....

    Met the whole band at Warped Tour in Chicago! All super nice and they put on an insane show.

  64. P.... ....

    So....does anyone understand the video? I'm having trouble getting the message.

    P.... ....

    Peanutbutter1zation if you ever find out let me know because I'd love to know too

    P.... ....

    It refers to the dog that was sent into space, Laika. They never intended for her return so she died in space.

    P.... ....

    @Juan Cano It's not about Laika contrary to popular belief lmaoo

    P.... ....

    @Veronica : yeah, after about a year I realized in a acoustic video they did of this song was not about the dog

  65. M.... K....
