Wombats, The - Your Body Is A Weapon Lyrics






Sometimes I like to go uptown
Where flashy people flash around
It's extortionate and I don't care
You can taste the pretense in the air

And I wonder what you wear tonight
The shiny black dress with the slit at the thigh
Is this such fantasy that I should think
Someone like you could love a creep like me

Your body is a weapon, love
And it makes me wanna cry
My body is a temple of doom
Doomed not to be by your side

I like my job when I do it well
It's freelance work and it pays like hell
But I could get us a place with one bedroom
Who needs a friend when I've got you

Your body is a weapon, love
And it makes me wanna cry
My body is a temple of doom
Doomed not to be by your side

And I don't come here for the exclusivity
I just come here for the view
And the minuscule chance of some close proximity
Or an awkward conversation with you
Yeah that'd be cool

Your body is a weapon, love
And it rips me up inside
My body is a temple of doom
Doomed not to be
Doomed not to be by your side

Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I, one I love

Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I, one I love

Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
From the one I, one I love

  1. S.... M....

    Still my shit

  2. T.... S....

    The Vampires Diaries made me discover this band. A little reminiscent of the Killers.

  3. T.... G....

    Ssx on tour 😂😂

  4. J.... P....

    I’m imagining a human made of guns and knives. I love it

  5. A.... P....

    yeet
    -andra's month 2019

  6. S.... P....

    The lyrics on this are incredible. Even by their (very high) standards.

  7. G.... D....

    This song "rips me up inside".

  8. p.... c....

    I think it's amazing

  9. A.... A....

    Great song!

  10. L.... M....

    I am so relieved that the dog survived, I was devastated when I thought it died

  11. L.... C....

    2019 anyone???

  12. W.... ....

    2:08 miniature

  13. S.... T....

    This animation is beautiful

  14. I.... B....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1GfbxcS3XA&t=6s This song, in spanish. %)

  15. G.... G....

    Yeah yeah I'll never have a girl...





    ...till my last

  16. c.... b....

    *I'm simply here for the wombats wtf people*

  17. A.... F....

    What is “geek remix?”

  18. A.... F....

    I fucking love the wombats

  19. R.... E....

    hate when I'm just trying to chill and giant fucking bubble letters attack me for no reason

  20. A.... R....

    Música que tocou no último desfile da Gisele! ❤️
    Como eu a procurei! 😅
    Sinto uma sensação ótima ao ouvi-la 😍👌🏼🖤

  21. C.... ....

    It's just so good.

  22. b.... j....

    Someone protect me from the one I love!

  23. S.... ....

    It’s upsetting that I never heard of this band before. On the bright side I have all their old albums to listen to. 🙃

  24. C.... N....

    Good video, great song, but the music video doesn't quite match the aesthetic of the song (still voted up). Song makes me think of The Cure.

  25. G.... A....

    travel safe. ghost boy

  26. s.... ....

    i love the wombats

  27. B.... R....

    BANDEIRANTES DE RADIO TV RADIO

  28. T.... ....

    One of the loneliest feelings in the world is not knowing anyone to share your music with. Anyone wanna come over, bake cookies and dance like lunatics to the wombats?

    T.... ....

    As long as we can squeeze in a few numbers from Joy Division into the mix.

    T.... ....

    @Dreamwalker I think liking Joy Devision is inevitable when you like the Whombats

    T.... ....

    Bruh what’s your address? I’m so down.

    T.... ....

    Am I too late?😂

    T.... ....

    Maxdatlitmix2505 :3 I’m down 😂

  29. K.... ....

    it sounds a little bit like 'when i come around' :D

  30. R.... R....

    Good song, but it why does it have to be about a perv

  31. O.... R....

    Tune! Just bought the album for £6. That makes 3 albums - guess I'm a fan now. lol

  32. C.... ....

    I love them 💕

  33. j.... h....

    if only

  34. f.... ....

    Whenever I see people posting "Who else is here from (fill in the blank)? I feel like a grumpy old man. "Back in my day, we just listened to the damn music."

  35. P.... M....

    why didn't the guy in the video appreciate his dog like come on mate

  36. E.... S....

    This is fun that hurts

  37. L.... ....

    is anyone else here because life is meaningless and what are we doing and nothing matters

  38. J.... C....

    He should have joined Blink 182 i mean he sounds like tom.

  39. B.... S....

    I have to see the wombats live before I die otherwise I will not have lived a fulfilled life!

  40. D.... W....

    i just found the wombats out any other songs better than this

    D.... W....

    What You Know
    Two Door Cinema Club

  41. a.... V....

    Qué hermosa armonía. Son unos genios

  42. J.... J....

    these guys r worse than bring me the horizon at switching song genders. ithought they used tobe rock

    J.... J....

    Jessica Jane they are indie rock

  43. B.... C....

    Am I the only one who was sad when the dog died?

  44. b.... h....

    Probably already been explained 9 months ago, but I'll just explain for any new souls.

    Geek Remix made a sort of, "music video", for this song, with the game "Life is Strange." Now, everyone is saying "I'm here from GeekRemix" because they pretty much advertised this video. They didn't monetize the video, so yeah.

  45. T.... ....

    is anyone here because it's The Wombats, not because of the remix?

    T.... ....

    Meeeeeeeeee

    T.... ....

    which remix tho?

  46. P.... L....

    The music video opposite to Uncle Grandpa.

  47. s.... ....

    for anyone asking geekremix is a youtuber channel who basically made a awesome music video for the game life is strange with this song which attracted a lot of people to this song lol

  48. B.... ....

    vampire diaries and because its just good music!

  49. S.... ....

    Still listening <3 Still in love with you guys!!

  50. W.... S....

    Altnation thank u

  51. B.... L....

    this song is horse shit

    B.... L....

    Thank you for adding such fantastic insight to the conversation! : )

    B.... L....

    the Like/Dislike ratio would disagree

    B.... L....

    +The_Jimboblion it fucking sucks

  52. M.... B....

    I miss you Elena. I hope you are well.

  53. C.... C....

    Am I the only one here simply because I just love the wombats.

    C.... C....

    no queen ye not

    C.... C....

    Chey Choi no

    C.... C....

    not dude im too

  54. M.... ....

    What's geek remix? XD seriously

  55. Y.... M....

    Am I the only one who doesn't know what geek remix is and just thinks this is a good song?

  56. A.... �....

    I'm here for the Wobats.
    Not GeekRemix
    not Life is strange
    not Vampire Diaries.

    I'm so lonely

    A.... �....

    when was this in life is strange?

    A.... �....

    +PortHub it's not. I own the cd. anyway. I wouldn't think they would put the wombats on to the new game before the storm because they are a bit more popular than artists/ bands like foals etc.

    A.... �....

    I haven't finished LIS2 but this doesn't fit with the other artist they use so I doubt it's in either of the games

    A.... �....

    I didn't even know this song was in any of those things lol

  57. J.... ....

    Awesome song, seen these boys live, they are fantastic!

  58. W.... s....

    First time I heard this I thought it said temple of food

  59. m.... ....

    I like the sound. Very upbeat and danceable.

  60. E.... H....

    I am so happy that The Wombats are getting the recognition I always knew they deserved! Ive been jamming to them for the past few years and am so Happy I finally get to see them live in Baltimore!

  61. J.... J....

  64. l.... b....

    @riddyprower no problem

    n.... ....

    hell yeah!

    n.... ....

    +napstablook yep

  86. m.... g....

    I cry everytime

    m.... g....

    SOMETIMES I LIKE TO GO UPTOWN

    m.... g....

    +assdafegkush WHERE FLASHY PEOPLE FLASH ARounD

    m.... g....

    +paige x gemini IT'S EXTORTIONATE AND I DON'T CARE

  87. R.... G....

    this song has been my jam for like a year, i just can't stop

  88. G.... P....

    This song would make a perfect tribute to Fry and Leela in Futurama. With lyrics like, "Your body is a weapon" and "Someone protect me from the one I (eye) love." Someone should get on that.

  89. O.... J....

    Actually adore the wombats, such an amazingly talented band 🙌🏻

  90. f.... m....

    It looks like this song doesn't concentrate on electronic music as much as they're currently doing and this appeases me because I admit I don't love electronic experiments that much. I mean they're great but they're lately attempting to create music by using electronic for about 80% of their production, which takes them far from rock concept and the initial spark that had guided the band. It's reasonable your sound changes throughout the years but starting as a rock band should be a rule that keeps carved into your soul for the rest of your career. Anyway, love these guys and the innovative method they put out!

  91. A.... D....

    The animation is cute in a sense. The song is awesome though.

  92. E.... V....

    2:40 my favorite part with the lead up from the guitar instrumental, begins drum roll to smooth tune, Murphy 's voice delicately singing the chorus and then the final "LOVE" as if a concert was screaming it. Simple yet I have a weird good feeling every time it gets to this point of this song.

  93. E.... ....

    It is similar, but is the creator of the robin series

  94. G.... ....

    i saw the title of the video and remembered about Saikano and well, now im fucking crying ;_;

  95. D.... A....

    Fucking great tune, with a great story weaved into it. My favourite kind of song.

  96. A.... S....

    ¡Boom! THAT drum 02:42

  97. E.... S....

    Awesome Tune, actually the whole album it's amazing......
