about

See Saw was our debut single. A triple j favourite in 1989 as the national youth broadcaster first spread its wings across the country.

This version features our good friend Danny Krivan on piano and was arranged, sadly to commemorate the passing of our great friend, bandmate, musician, referee, encyclopaedic music mind and gentleman, Grant Smith.

We performed this arrangement at the Barwon Club in Geelong, Victoria at Grant's memorial along side two other tunes, but See Saw had always been Grant's favourite. He maintained that the original reminded him of Prefab Sprout and he loved Prefab Sprout. We felt it fitting that we record this arrangement and dedicate it to him. We've included it with this record because Grant was with us as a supporter from the very start, and here, we are starting all over again. Love ya Smitty.

lyrics

SEE SAW

Intro D-E-F#m / Verse D-E /
Chorus A-E-F#m
mid 8 mC#m F#m-G#m


When the morning brings me round
I find my conscience lying on the ground.

But I don’t need this indecision
You know I just don’t work that way
And I can’t beat this situation
I’m slipping away.

If you see what I see
how can you be up when I’m down?
If you saw what I saw
how can you be in the air when I’m on the ground?


Explanation’s not my game.
My behaviour’s always been the same.

And I don’t like this elevation.
You never promised it that way
And it should be no revelation,
Put me away.

If you see what I see
how can you be up when I’m down?
If you saw what I saw
how can you be in the air when I’m on the ground?

If you see what I see
how can you be up when I’m down?
If you saw what I saw
how can you be in the air when I’m on the ground?
