lyrics

Get Up And Watch TV If you want a come down baby Take a look at yourself Before you open your mouth and the words come out Take a look at yourself Is what you see what I see Watching other people watching TV Who who am I boring you? Cos I’m changing the channel onto something new Lying here half undressed My mind’s wide open to what happens next Wish I had the nerve to get you off my chest And get up and watch TV Everybody’s got their problems baby Take a look at yourself Before you come down hard get in your own backyard Take a look at yourself Here I am at my PC Watching you fingering your rosary Who who are you coming too? Get down on your knees and I’ll pray with you Lying here half undressed My mind’s wide open to what happens next Wish I had the nerve to get you off my chest And get up and watch TV Lying here.

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
