    USA Postage: Unfortunately, the cost of mailing CDs to the USA is now more than the cost of this release. The actual cost of shipping and handling is $15. Previously, we absorbed the cost of shipping merchandise in the price. But the shopping cart now includes a custom amount of AUD$10 for shipping to the US. We know you really, really want one... so this is the best we can do for now :-)

    Last remaining CD stock of Splurge's acclaimed second album.

    MOJO, January 2003: "Second album from the song-packing Melbourne four-piece. They rock, they play it gentle, they deliver the hooks. The ghost of Lennon pervades I Have No Control or the shimmering She's Got No Soul, but how bad is that?"

lyrics

Rise and Fall This is not a dream I’m standing on the ledge And my hope is hanging is hanging by a thread Yes I hear I’m answering your call Will I fly or tell me will I fall? Then rise up Flames are licking at my wings the ashes to my feet still cling As I rise up And down below me I can see the wreck of what I used to dream Surrounded by thick air Yes my dear why am I here If not to serve you Then to pledge my fear Then rise up Flames are licking at my wings the ashes to my feet still cling As I rise up And down below me I can see the wreck of what I used to dream Surrounded by thick air I’m not afraid to fall Li-li-li-li-li-li she could kill me in a thousand ways Li-li-li-li-li-li ah those were not the days As I rise up Flames are licking at my wings the ashes to my feet still cling As I rise up And down below me I can see the wreck of what I used to dream Surrounded by thick air As I rise up...

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
