lyrics

A Long Way To Go

How long have I been living this way
Every day this week seems like Tuesday
This week's gone slow
I wait for tomorrow but she just don't show
Tomorrow I'll be waiting for Wednesday
And the days wash over me
The weeks don't carry me

I tried so hard I did my best (ah)
I gave my all but I still flunked the test
I got a long way to go

You and I don't have a lot to say
But we go on taling anyway
The same words go round and round
We must love that carnival sound
The same horses going up and down
You may have set me free
But I'm not at liberty

I tried so hard I did my best (ah)
I gave my all but I still flunked the test
I got a long way to go
But where I'm going I don't know
I got a long way to go
A long way to go

Sell all my records sell my clothes
Where I'm going I won't need any of those
Pack up my bags and my guitars
When you travel light you travel far
And I've got a long way to go…

about

Splurge Australia

Splurge is to quote MOJO magazine “a song-packing Melbourne four-piece” that has released three albums—Splurge (1999), Heavy Weather (2002) and The Cure For The Cure (2007). MOJO heard the ghost of Lennon in the way “they rock, they play it gentle, they deliver the hooks” and in songwriter Greg Williams’ “expressive and emotionally direct” voice are echoes of Grant McLennon and Steve Kilbey. ... more
