Battleships Lyrics
When will you carry me home like the wounded star in the movie
When will you carry me home take it back to the start when you knew me
Cause’ when you talk to me that way, I’ll be a million miles away
I guess it’s just another day in love
We’re battleships, driftin’ in an alley river
Takin’ hits, sinking it’s now or never
Overboard, drownin’ in a sea of love and hate but it’s too late
Battleship down
When will you figure it out that you aren’t always right little darlin’
When will you figure out that it’s not worth the fight little darlin’
Cause’ when you can’t think what to say, you go and throw it all away
I guess it’s just another day in love
We’re battleships, driftin’ in an alley river
Takin’ hits, sinking it’s now or never
Overboard, drownin’ in a sea of love and hate but it’s too late
Battleship down
But your too smarter and I’m too dumb
With no heart in the middle
We’re battleships, driftin’ in an alley river
Takin’ hits, sinking it’s now or never
Overboard, falling into the ocean
Ship to shore, drownin’ in a sea of love and hate but it’s too late
Battleship down
When will you carry me home take it back to the start when you knew me
Cause’ when you talk to me that way, I’ll be a million miles away
I guess it’s just another day in love
Takin’ hits, sinking it’s now or never
Overboard, drownin’ in a sea of love and hate but it’s too late
Battleship down
When will you figure out that it’s not worth the fight little darlin’
Cause’ when you can’t think what to say, you go and throw it all away
I guess it’s just another day in love
Takin’ hits, sinking it’s now or never
Overboard, drownin’ in a sea of love and hate but it’s too late
Battleship down
With no heart in the middle
Takin’ hits, sinking it’s now or never
Overboard, falling into the ocean
Ship to shore, drownin’ in a sea of love and hate but it’s too late
Battleship down

I like this song. I think it's clearly about the way people in relationships tend to argue a lot. And saying how it would be so good if they could just stop arguing about who's right and who's wrong and get on with the loving :)
Still like the song but i feel it sounds a little like quiksand in bits and a lot like a few of their b sides? anyone agree?
I think what its about is a simple metaphorical thats not their best writing but still a cute little easy breezy song.
Its a song about Nora btw, he wrote the title in his diary one day "relationships pah more like battleships"
The beginning of this song is similar to James' song "Laid". I guess it has a kinda sad lyric but a sweet and smooth melody. This album reminds me of their first one, which had more lively rhythms
I really like the lyric of this song it has a sweet melody and a very interestin lyric
yeah prisoner youre right this album reminds me a lot more of good feeling than the more serious and depressing other albums...
this song is about the stupid little useless arguements that you have with the one that u love
btw, its "our wee river" not "an alley river", according to the CD cover...
