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.

Running Back Home To You
Lodger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the one who said that nothing would become of me
If I see your face I will put it in it's place
If someone gives me a chance or just the slightest opportunity
Fell in love with the smartest girl on the street
Dropped my work and dropped my friends and dropped down at her feet
It was merely lust and the back of the bus
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home to you
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home to you
You're the one who said that you couldn't remember me
You're the one who said that nothing would become of me
If I see your face I will put it in it's place
If someone gives me a chance or just the slightest opportunity
You said that no one ever made you laugh just like I did
If that is true I'm on the next flight to you, god forbid
That it could work after we'd drawn a line
Nothing more, nothing less, it is a moment stuck in both our lives
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home to you
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home to you
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home to you
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home to you
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home to you
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home
You're never alone 'cause I'm running back home to you
The song "Running Back Home to You" by Lodger tells the story of someone who is in love with a person who doesn't seem to share the same feelings. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been rejected by this person in the past ("You're the one who said that you couldn't remember me, You're the one who said that nothing would become of me"). Despite this, the singer still holds on to the hope that they can be together, and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen ("If someone gives me a chance or just the slightest opportunity").
The singer reflects on a past relationship with someone they fell in love with quickly ("Fell in love with the smartest girl on the street, Dropped my work and dropped my friends and dropped down at her feet"). They admit that it was mostly based on lust and a fleeting moment ("Nothing more, nothing less, but at the time it meant the world to me"). However, this experience has left a lasting impact on the singer, and they now believe that they have found someone who is truly special ("You said that no one ever made you laugh just like I did").
Overall, the lyrics of "Running Back Home to You" are about the power of love and hope, and how these emotions can keep us going even when it seems like everything is against us.

You were the person who claimed to have no recollection of me

Fell in love with the smartest girl on the street
I became infatuated with the most intelligent woman in our neighborhood

What we had was purely physical and located in the back of a bus
Nothing more, nothing less, but at the time it meant the world to me
Although it was insignificant, it felt significant to me at the time
