    Our take on the Cold War through the eyes of a guy trying to get a little action any way he can.

    Story Behind the Song
    Tim started this song on the train home from our studio in New Jersey using his QY70. It sort of brewed in the back of our minds for a while until we found the sample "I am not an atomic playboy!" and it was all over.

    As children of the Cold War, we have always been fascinated with the propaganda of America during that time period and it was great to find a way of incorporating it into our music. This is the second installment in our "creepy guys who want to do bad things to good girls" character series. (The first obviously was "The Notorious Gentleman")

    Lyrics
    The Atomic Age Playboy
    words: T. Heireth
    music: Brand New Idol

    Outside the sirens wail
    Just 20 minutes 'til this show is over
    We've got a date with hell
    Our reservations care of Oppenheimer

    But we could hide away from this ugly world
    and spend our last night together
    Yeah we could turn our backs on oblivion
    So come on baby let's duck and cover!

    What better way to spend your last night on the Earth,
    than right here with me?
    What better way to spend the last night of your life,
    than in my arms?

    Outside the sky's in flames
    So why not let it set our passions burning
    We've got no time for games
    Let's do this quickly while the world's still turning

    As we bid farewell to this wretched life
    and wait our vigil here in the shelter,
    let's make a final stand with our skin on skin
    No hesitation 'cause it's now or never!

    What better way to spend your last night on the Earth,
    than right here with me?
    What better way to spend the last night of your life,
    than in my arms?

    (A message from our friends at Civil Defense)

    What better way to spend your last night on the Earth,
    than right here with me?
    What better way to spend the last night of your life,
    than in my arms?
