Overkill[ed]

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 I'll be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination

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

Overkill by Colin Hay/Men at Work. (full lyrics available.)

Check out a guest appearance on Scrubs (my favorite comedy) by Colin.

Enjoy the song (btw, Benjamin Gate did a cool job covering this song...)

No way! I love this song/episode. I didn't know that you were a Scrubs fan.

[Jorriss]

I love this song. When I saw this episode of Scrubs a few years back I downloaded the accoustic version by Hay. I miss the Benjamin Gate they put on a great live show.

[RC of strangeculture]

Ah man, i miss the benjamin gate. Adie's just not the same.

[David Bach]

Got a kick out of your mention of the Gate's cover of this song. I had pitched the band to cover it as I thought it would be a good fit for their sound and Adie's voice. They were not too keen at first but Quinlan, their producer hooked it up quite nicely. A great "stressed" lyric!

[Jeff Reed]

Caitlin, I don't tell you everything in my life... if you want to know everything, let me know and we'll schedule an appointment so I can tell you everything.

Jorriss, RC (ironically both you guys use fake names...) - YES, the Gate was the best, and they are desperately missed. RC, stop bashing product!

Bach, normally I would tell my readers that they are full of crap. However, knowing your background, I totally believe you on that one. What would it take to reunite the band?

[Caitlin]

Oh that hurt. I just figured that after spending almost everyday of the past 3 years of my life around you that I might have known almost everything about you...but I was terribly mistaken.

I don't want to know everything about you. I know too much already.
