The most promi… Read Full Bio ↴Lodger is a name used by several bands and musicians:
The most prominent is this entry:
1) Lodger is a Finnish indie band, formed by Teemu Merilä in 2002. Although largely unknown outside of Finland, they have established a cult-following on the internet due to the popularity of their flash music videos. Their first video "Doorsteps" and all their subsequent are designed by the bands lyricist Hannes Häyhä.
Their big break-through was with the internationally known flash-video 'I Love Death' which was later followed by the videos 'God Has Rejected The Western World' and '24h Candy Machine'.
Their first album, Hi-Fi High Lights Down Low, is rarely found in record-stores but can be bought over the internet at www.stupido.fi, also check amazon marketplace.
Their second album, How Vulgar, received lukewarm critical and fan response -- but don't let that stop you from listening. The tracks "Friends" and "Brunswick Centre" are among their best.
Their third and latest album, Honeymoon Is Over, is, to paraphrase Merilä, what How Vulgar should have been. Much of the music has a harsher tone than their previous work.
For flash videos go to lodger.fi and for news of tours, or updates, use their myspace www.myspace.com/lodger as this is actually updated from time to time.
In 2007 there was a small tour of America and there may have been a trip to the UK also in 2007.
2) Lodger was also a late 1990s indie 'supergroup' composed of Danny Goffey (Supergrass), Pearl Lowe (Powder), Neil Carlill (Delicatessen), and Will Foster (also Delicatessen). The band released one album, A Walk in the Park, in 1998.
3) Lodger may also refer to a music collagist, DJ and singer in Austin, Texas, who has also recorded under the names David Lodger, David Lodger's Hallucination (DLH), Thr33 Record Set, Supressed Laughter and Ziggy. He was a founding member of the underground, early 80's, Houston-based garage band Dead Eddie.

Floozy With an Uzi
Lodger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a girlie with a gun
When I could have been a model
And I should have been a nun
I'll lose my blues in some Jacuzzi
Life's just a lotta clean fun
For a floozy with an uzi
Just what was it about that
Little Israeli machine?
Play all day in the sand
Nothing gets jammed
Understand what I mean
So Mister, you can keep your lenses
And Sister, you can keep your beads
I'm riding Mercedes Benzes
I'm taking care all of my needs
Just a floozy with an uzi
Just a girlie with a gun
When I could have been a model
And I should have been a nun
I'll lose my blues in some Jacuzzi
Life's just a lotta clean fun
For a floozy with an uzi
For a girlie with a gun
Just what was it about that
Little Israeli machine?
Play all day in the sand
Nothing gets jammed
Understand what I mean
So Mister, you can keep your lenses
And Sister, you can keep your beads
I'm riding Mercedes Benzes
I'm taking care all of my needs
Just a floozy with an uzi
Just a girlie with a gun
When I could have been a model
And I should have been a nun
I'll lose my blues in some Jacuzzi
Life's just a lotta clean fun
For a floozy with an Uzi
For a girlie with a gun
The song "Floozy With an Uzi" by Lodger talks about a woman who is making unconventional choices in her life. She is portrayed as a free-spirited and rebellious individual who has chosen to be a "floozy with an uzi" instead of being a model or a nun. The woman seems to enjoy her life and the thrill that comes along with it.
The lyrics suggest that the woman finds happiness and fulfillment in owning and using a weapon such as the Uzi. The song portrays the Uzi as a powerful and desirable machine, one that is both reliable and enjoyable to use. The woman is shown to be confident and self-sufficient as she takes care of herself and her needs, without the need for a man or society's approval.
The song's chorus is catchy and emphasizes the carefree attitude of the woman. The lyrics suggest that life is meant to be enjoyed and that one should embrace what makes them happy, regardless of societal norms or expectations. Overall, the song comes across as a celebration of individuality and a message to embrace one's desires and hobbies without fear of judgment.

I discovered them by chance some years ago and I became a huge fan, especially of their first two albums. Funny how spaniards and finnish people can share kind of the same dark and cynical sense of humour!
