lyrics

Nine-to-Fivers’ Daily Grind No time to stop No time to think To time to wait for a minute Not even time to blink There’s no free ride Nowhere to hide From the minute that you go to sleep to when you open up your eyes You better get up get dressed Always looking your best Getting to work on time Phone rings all day No-one’s got a thing to say Stuck in a rut and a bind you’re in the... Nine-to-fivers’ daily grind Where what you seek’s not what you find You can’t be tied You can’t be told You can’t believe that this is how people grow old If you lose your faith And you buy their lies Then you’ll become the very thing that you despise And when you get off it’s rush Everybody push shove Only one thought on their minds Get home then eat Watch TV sleep Get up again and you find you’re in the... Nine-to-fivers’ daily grind Where what you seek’s not what you find.

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
