The new single from English indie rockers The Wombats "Lemon To A Knife Fight" had me at hello. The sentiment is both hilarious as well as painfully understandable when you find yourself woefully under equipped for some verbal sparring.

The tune's inspiration as Matthew Murphy explains, "I was in Los Angeles, driving along Mulholland and I was having an argument with my now wife and she basically just handed me my own arse on a plate. I never win an argument with her, so that's kind of what the song is about."
