Overload

by Susan's Boy

/

about

When this song came out at the dawn of the Millennium I remember sitting at the radio and tuning between frequencies to find a station that was playing it. Their sound was like nothing I'd heard before and nothing since has done the same.

I eventually download a version from Napster (I was a working class kid, don't judge me) which had a jump in the second verse which became part of the song for me. That skip feels so Y2K now.

This song was the moment pop music became an obsession for me.

lyrics

Strange fear I ain't felt for years
The boy's coming and I'm close to tears
I can't let go of you now
Imagination's playing round for free
In my world I take him out for tea
Oh my God, can't say no
Skipping school, go walk for air
I just had to get out of bed
I'm on overload in my head

Train comes I don't know its destination
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation
Train comes I don't know its destination
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Life is a dream, time does come true
And in my sleep I think of you
Feather bed by myself
Basically probability
Says that fate's come side with me
It's been so long on my shelf

Train comes I don't know its destination
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation
Train comes I don't know its destination
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

The tension is incredible, boy I'm in charge
You know how I feel for you,
Will you stop, or will you just keep going
Please don't say no, no, no, no

Train comes I don't know its destination (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation (It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation)
Train comes I don't know its destination (I know, I know)
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation (It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation)

Train comes I don't know its destination (I'll sleep with any man)
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation (It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation)
Train comes I don't know its destination (I know, I said I know)
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation
And it's got me feeling sad
