Thermal And A Quarter - Grab Me: Song Story

Here's @Thermal And A Quarter front man @Bruce Lee Mani talking about the ideas and inspiration behind the song 'Grab Me' from the 2012 album '3 Wheels 9 Lives'.

Grab Me, a somewhat twisted blues, was written when we left our 'regular jobs' and careers behind (for the second time!) - a period of insecurity but great optimism as well. This is the story of the 8 - 10 years before that leap.. the story that made that leap possible, the story that continues to keep us afloat...

Lyrics
GRAB ME
It’s one thirty o clock in the morning
Woke up late last night
If that isn’t right
To start the blues bar
Then the sorry girls are winning the fight

Feeling mighty high and low
Just like I did some crooked lines
Funny because I’m clean and dry
Never needed any joy juice to get high

I play in a cool smart rock n roll band
It’s like the only thing that makes it go round
Been everywhere but the big time lover
Somewhere this ruby yacht ran aground

Grab me by my fingertips and take me off this page
Dance me to the ground it’s lover-ly
How lots of chocolates can mystify the mage
I’m not about to shake my cage
Losing my mind with the daily wage

I get home early, shut off my head
And fire all my synapse slaves
It’s pleasant and even mildly euphoric
Oh these after-burner polychrome waves

Rise up with the sorry sunlight
That bleeds all over the floor
The shadows shrink as I pour my first drink
It’s a Boost in the mug with no happy encore

Grab me by my fingertips and take me off this ride
Dance me to the ceiling it’s lover-ly
How honest work can crucify my pride
I’m just about to set aside
A modicum of love and a paisa-worth of bromide
