In This Article:

The Wombats have released four albums since 2007, and although their sound has most definitely changed throughout the years, their lyrics have remained artistic and masterful. Here are 15 lyrics that I believe are among their best, from their first album down to their newest.

1. "Let's dance to Joy Division / and celebrate the irony / Everything is going wrong, / but we're so happy"

Artist: The Wombats Label: Roadrunner Records

2. "Am I in a scene from 'Midsummer Nights Dream'? / I thought raves like these died in the 90s?  / The forest is breathing along with us tonight"

3. "Flowers might wilt when we walk past, / and self-help might help when it makes us laugh / Only finding questions in answers / You and I are just walking disasters"

This Modern Glitch.

4. "We're self imploding / under the weight of your advice / I wear a suitcase / under each one of my eyes"

5. "It was the perfect disease we had, / and in its absence lies a painful fact / We all need someone to drive us mad"

6. "I wanted this to work so much, / I drew up our plans on a chart / Cars are flipping, I'm in hot pursuit / My character's strong, but my head is loose"

7. "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"

8. "I tend to focus on the past and not the now / I'll be over this soon, / but some images adhere like super glue"

9. "Behind these metaphors / I want you literally / We crave the fiction when we need the truth"

10. "I like the way your brain works"

11. "I'll be your character with flaws tonight / Come a little closer, my firefly / You're not the only one who doesn't want to be alone tonight"

12. You're in the cherry cake and swimming in my wine / You're in the orange juice that I spill at halftime"

13. "I try to be human, / but that never works / I'm lost in a gift shop / with hours to burn"

14. "It's not much of a weekend, when there's one of me and none of you" 


"White Eyes" definitely tops it off as having the highest number of beautiful lines in just one song.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
