your hand, the small of my back
there's kindness in your touch
and i'm trying to feel the rush
i fail, i can't meet your gaze
i can hardly face the day
and i feel so ashamed
i'm up at five
and i bargain with the sun
take me to a timezone
where the day's already done
a five hour flight
to somewhere five hours ahead
i want to spend the day
traveling back to bed
i know i shake through the night
there's kindness in the way
you don't mention it today
your hand on the small of my back
i know that i am loved
and i wish it was enough
i'm up at five
and i bargain with the sun
take me to a timezone
where the day's already done
a five hour flight
to somewhere five hours ahead
i want to spend the day
traveling back to bed
i want to rise above
all fields and city lights
tear through the mist
until there's nothing else in sight
a five hour flight
to somewhere five hours ahead
i want to spend the day
traveling back to bed
(oohs)
i'm up at five
and i bargain with the sun
take me to a timezone
where the day's already done
a five hour flight
to somewhere five hours ahead
i want to spend the day
traveling back to bed

The Manchester band's latest is the kind of ear candy that’s sweet and satisfying but never cloying, the product of Madchester exuberance, endurance, and tact. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 11, 2021
There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
The sound of “NOW! 2073” is also the sound of 1983: laser-like minimalist electropop that flirts with coldwave and dance music. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 4, 2021
