HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Influences" is not recognized
Ratcat are an Australian indie rock band formed in Sydney in 1985, fronted by vocalist and guitarist Simon Day. Their combination of indie pop songwriting and energetic punk-style guitar won them fans from both the indie and skate-punk communities. Their popularity peaked in 1991, finding mainstream success with their album Blind Love and the single Don't Go Now, which both reached #1 on the Australian charts that year. The band released two subsequent albums, however they never matched the popularity and success of 1991. The band ceased regular live shows in the mid 1990s, however they have continued to play sporadic shows since that time, with Day as the only continuing original member. The band will be playing as part of the 'A Day On The Green' concert series in March 2016.

Away From This World
by: RatcatI used to have this idea
That getting a silver medal wouldn't set me free
Oh, but you know that I really don't need
Catch or fame or credit
Nor a big fat bank account with no debit
So just set me straight
â€~Cause eating your peace of mind just cant wait
I sent a telegram marked urgent, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big, big door
I'm going free if they kill me
â€~Cause this ain't much better anyway
Just push it away
Push it away, yeah
Just push it away, push it away
Push it away
Oh, success, that elusive brainchild of breed
Something you want, not need
Face it, â€~cause
Money cant buy true friendship or trust
And applause will never be any substitute for love
But not me man, check it out
I sent a telegram marked urgent, urgent
I hope it gets to my door, my big, big door
I'm going free if they kill me
â€~Cause this ain't much better anyway
Just push it away
Push it away, yeah
Just push it away, push it away
