2nd of the Power Pop Trilogy:
A story of Inconvenient Attraction
not only is the title Too Busy, but the music...well, you be the judge.
Looks like We’re Shakin’ Hands
In terms of Makin’ Plans
And putting some Skin the Game
Don’t know just what’s the Rub
Penciling in Time For Love
Investing in Short Term Romantic Gains
The less I pay attention, The Hotter the Tension
The more of a Major Surprise
Ya gotta dig the Silent Ascent of our Intent
When we’re into it but Way Too Shy
I’m too Busy for You
I’m too Busy for You (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I’m too Busy for You
‘Cause you’re Too Busy for Me
Looks like Ambitions Die
When your Visionary Eye
Is being put to use by People You Don’t Know
Workin’ with the system
Eking out a living
Doing your BEST and what have you got to show
The white picket fences around my best Mensches
Telling me I’ve got to spend Time
Researching, Investing, spending Weekends hedging
My bets instead of having a life
I’m too Busy for You
I’m too Busy for You (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I’m too Busy for You
‘Cause I’m Too Busy for Me
Used to have an Affinity
For when 3 Hours Felt like Infinity
Records in Your Room, buying and Iced Tea
Walking past Tombstones, Playing Street Hockey
If that’s All We Need, Why Can’t We Just Succeed????

I’m Too Busy For You

That slide up in the introductory riff is just glorious. Loud, shouty, crunchy pop; this has a distinctly 80s Aussie Rock flavour for me. Huge fun, and most definitely a keeper.
