lyrics

Under Your Thumb

I don’t know what it’s all about
I’ve been there and I still did not find out
I don’t know what’s going on
Everything that’s going down is staying there too long

Everybody says that it’s sappy
To want to be happy
Cos no-one ever stays that way for long
But look what I’ve become

I’m under your thumb
I’m under your thumb
Under your thumb…

On the way up it was such a blast
How was I to know that it couldn’t last
On the way down I could see where I fell from
Who would have ever thought it could take so long

Everybody says that it’s easy
To fall in love believe me
That it’s harder to stay that way for long
Well look how low I’ve gone

I’m under your thumb
I’m under your thumb
Under your thumb…

Everybody says that it’s so easy
Yeah they’re gonna fall in love believe me
Everybody thinks they’ve found the one
But when it comes undone
They couldn’t be more wrong

I’m under your thumb
I’m under your thumb
Under your thumb…

I’m under your thumb
Under your thumb
Under your thumb…

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
