Lost her behind the station
Lost her behind the moon
Operator, operator, dial her back
Operator put me through
Uh huh, satellite gave up the ghost too soon

Rising on the thermals
She's all in and out the blue
Uh huh, carried her off on a silver spoon
I loved her too long, don't take her too
Ooh ooh

Oh how he crossed us on that fate your path in my own satellite
What a mess a little time makes to us when time and place collide
Operator, operator, dial her back
Operator, operator, don't take her too.
I loved her too her long, don't love her too

Operator, operator, dial her back
Operator, operator, don't take her too
I love her too her long, don't love her too, don't love her too
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

9 years later, I still can’t get over that nasty yet rich octave fuzzy tone, it’s soo good. Gives me the shivers.

this band has dominated my life lately. they encompass everything i love about life and creativity from every angle. the freedom, the openness, the camaraderie, the pushing of envelopes. jamie had completely inspired my own guitar/song writing in a way that few have. i just love their aesthetic. i love everything this band represents and stands for. some may call it "pretentious" but i disagree. in this day and age, anything honest and heartfelt is labeled pretentious. whatever. i love this band

The Kills/Modest Mouse sounds like the best show ever. Seen MM twice, unfortunately still have yet to see them

They are fucking cool! As cheesy as it sounds. Saw them live in 2006 at Fox theater in Detroit. My girl almost made me late, they were opening for modest mouse. Always enjoy their stuff. Don't listen to it as much as I should

I remember in an interview, Alison said that she wasn't very good and singing and Jamie wasn't very good at playing. That their music was really about the energy between them. I think the magic in this video displays exactly that. New Kills album? My life is complete.

Jamie is incredible and she is at singing

I am always impressed by songs with a low BPM but that make me want to sing all day long.
This one is one of my favorites of the Kills.

HEiRBRAiN

Ineffably perfect. I really wish I had heard about the pre-sale a bit sooner... I've seen 'em once, but they are truly an act worthy of numerous sold out shows. Well done Jamie and Allison.

Within the first five seconds of the start of this video fell in love with video/song/group. Happens once every couple of years. Fantastic. Real. Damn- please be the start of rebirth of Rock. They should play this on a loop until no one wants to hear that Friday song.

Eva Scherbatsky

No doubt, Iove the music they're doing, but what seduces me about them is also that they look like such good friends, this makes me glad to see these two musicians getting on so well like this! :) And besides, Jamie can do "ricochets"! (the thing with the pebble on the water, that's how we say in french ^^) Such a band! =D

p1ngu1no

The kills are a band that really impressed me at first....I just don't know why I can't finish one full album. They got really great catchy songs but...they sound a bit hollow?

i'm glad i came back to listening to these two talented Brits--nice to see my Brit "cousins" doing so well. We Americans invented rock music but the Brits are much better at it--have been-- since the Beatles. The only question is whether the Brits are better at rock or at acting? They're (my cousins) best in the world at both!

Ed Dovigi

someone needs to write a love story and have these two star in it. . or just follow them around for a month and film them and edit the footage to make it a love story. Use their records to provide the soundtrack

I remembered this song by the name, but when I look it up on YT, the results shows nothing related to this song. I guess that makes this song a hidden gem for somebody out there. Glad I made it back here tho, such a unique and unforgettable song!
