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.

Waiting For Take Off Lyrics

Grinspoon

i found you tired and drunk about a month ago
you'd moved to st kilda and found it your new home
we sat and talked for hours drunk on alcohol
that rhymes with purposeful prefabricated bull
you wanna fight your gonna lose
waiting 4 take off
you wanna fight your gonna lose
willing and able
you wanna fight your gonna lose
food on the table
you let that massacre happen again

so where do we begin to start to put it back
truth is like a piece of broken glass its not
shattering i really don't think i can keep up now
but now those days are gone you hold your head too proud

you wanna fight your gonna lose
waiting 4 take off
you wanna fight your gonna lose
willing and able
you wanna fight your gonna lose
food on the table
you let that massacre happen again

you wanna seperate then reinstate the useless wandering
you need commiserations go get fired today
you wanna animate then aggrivate for time to ponder
you see a simulation its not yours to say
you wanna seperate then reinstate the useless wandering
you need commiserations go get fired today
you wanna animate then aggrivate for time to ponder
you see a simulation all you got to say

you wanna fight your gonna lose
waiting 4 take off
you wanna fight your gonna lose
willing and able
you wanna fight your gonna lose
food on the table
you let that massacre happen again
