Grinspoon are an Australian alternative/grunge rock band from Lismore, fronted by Phil Jamieson with Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass and Kristian Hopes on drums. Founded in 1995, they came to fame when they were Unearthed by national, commercial-free radio station Triple J thanks to their track Sickfest. This won them the competition for the Lismore area. The band was heavily influenced by "grunge" music in their early career, including the band Helmet, and developed a strong following among mosh pit crowds. Their sound changed in their later career to a more mainstream rock sound with their 2002 release "New Detention" and at this point they lost many of their earlier fans and gained a lot of fans in the mainstream.

Don’t Go Away Lyrics

Grinspoon

I think youll need a new holiday
Somewhere the weather is sunny all day
I dont care just as long as you stay
I dont care just as long as you stay
Kissing the sky for a cloudy day eyes
Making the sun rise seems a surprise
They can go as long as you stay
They can go as long as you stay
Dont go away
Dont go away
Dont go away
Fuckin
Tuesday I hate your answer machine
Message for you I cant say what I mean
I dont care that everyone knows
Seems you care now everyone knows
Drop me a letter or write me a line
Pick up the phone girl and tell me your fine
Pitys a perfect excuse for myself
Ill sit inside and watch tv all day
Dont go away
Dont go away
Dont go away
Fuckin
I know my mother thought you were trash
I know my dad he smokes to much hash
There always hiding under the stairs
Its easy to find them when Im not there
Summertime lover your spring has begun
Letters arrive but you stay in your room
Pitys a perfect excuse for myself
Ill sit inside and watch tv all day
Dont go away x 7
Fuckin
Dont go away x 8
