lyrics

Open My Eyes

I've been dreaming
That I'm awake
I'm under a spell
That I can't break
Oh why do I always want
More than I can take

If you let love in then it can change you
I've heard that love is blind
Open your eyes you never know what you'll find
I'm trying hard to open mine
To open my eyes

I've been a liar
And I've been a fool
I took a long time time to learn
What I already knew

If you let love in then it can change you
I've heard that love is blind
Open your eyes you never know what you'll find
But I'm trying hard to open mine
To open my eyes
Open my eyes

Uh ah ah
Uh ah ah

I'm not gonna build my world
Round the places that you hide
Cos I've heard that love is blind
Open your eyes you never know what you'll find
I'm trying hard
To open my eyes
Trying hard
To open my eyes
To open my eyes

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
