about

Surprisingly evasive beat-shifter which includes the words 'smorgasbord' and 'hullaballoo' - surely their first joint billing. One member of the band thinks it sounds like Blondie, and not in a bad way.

REVIEW PRAISE FOR THIS TRACK
"utterly catchy" – Louder Than War

"My favourite on the album, an upbeat song that sounds like The Vaccines' earlier material" – Lyric Lounge Review

"a great speedy piece of pop-rock with, you guessed it, a daftly infectious hook" – Vanguard

"another rocker, complete with guitar noodling and shoutalong chorus" - 7bit Arcade

"fun, quirky rock" – The Jitty

"jittery and blessed with a rollicking good chorus" – Rocksucker

lyrics

LYRICS
See the girl with the red dress on
Drowning Sailor Jerry all night long
She's a runaround in her playground
Vanilla girl she's in charge
She's a tattoo permanently drawn in my thoughts

Are you talkin' to me?
Can you see what I can see?
Do you wanna be free?
She's a runaround

See the girl in commotion move
Travelling into hullaballoo without you
She fed me from her smorgasbord
Then the love that she threw overboard in the fjords

Are you talkin' to me...?
