Intensity Modulated Phantoms

Hoo boy,
I've been drawing more than my fair share of blanks to post as of late... I went for a wander about what little of the web I could explore on dial-up, and yet still managed to come back less that dissatified.

Yeah, I know that I've got this one on vinyl with the lyrics right there on the cover, but that's at home and I can't blog from there (for now at least). But it is one of my favorites, and one of the few things from Austrailia that don't seem cheesy when cast in the spotlight of American pop culture. If you didn't get a chance to see this played as an opener to 'Scrubs', then you missed somethin', brother:

Men at Work: 'Overkill' (Which, strangely enough, isn't on the album "Overkill", but "Cargo" and a few later ones)

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just my imagination


(chorus)
Day after day it reappears
Night after night
My heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
from overkill

(repeat chorus)

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
and possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkill!

(repeat chorus....and get all somber-like about it, then fade out)

One of my favorites, perhaps I should learn to play it on the guitar....
