The song in my head 2

The song Overkill by Men at Work is lodged in my mind lately, coming soon after I saw Colin Hay of the disbanded Men At Work in an guest star appearance in Scrubs recently.

In the show, he was following JD around, strumming his guitar, singing the very familiar tune. I went online, looked for a video of it in YouTube and voila! here it is. I also resolve to go to HMV this weekend to buy the group's greatest hits album if its available.

80's music. I heart them.



OVERKILL by Men at Work

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 its just my imagination

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

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

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

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away


Now listen to the acoustic version. It's just superb too!
