All instruments and vocals by Leeroy
"Overkill" is a song by Australian pop rock band Men at Work. It was released in March 1983 as the second single from their second studio album Cargo. Written by lead singer Colin Hay, it peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100; No. 5 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart; and top 10 in Canada, Ireland, and Norway. The song was a departure from the group's style of reggae-influenced pop rock, featuring a melancholic feel musically and lyrically.
Overkill
Men at Work
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implication
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variatios
It nullifies the night
From overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations that
I know will be alright
It's just overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away

Great song, Men at Work's best in my opinion. Nicely done.
Thanks Greg. Have a terrific year ahead 👍
That's great mate, I like this song. I think I might have already covered in the past!
I wasn't aware that MAW was an Australian band 😮. Fun fact about me is that I directed for a few years a charity association that went under that name, but it's over a decade ago. So I guess, just keep thinking about it would be overkill 😂.
Cheers, mate, it's good to see you back. Cool version 😎🌞
What a nice guy doing charity stuff you are Claudio. I remember you doing this. I did this a few years back but tidied it up a bit. I heard it today and thought I’d reupload it. Cheers mate 👍🥂
Absolutely Amazing. Thank you for all of that, including the sax.
Thanks so much. I’m flattered you liked it so much. Cheers 🥂😀👍

Have to admit I don’t know this song. I do like it though. Sounds great. Have you got a couple of new strats? Love the black humbucker one.
Thanks mate. This one’s a couple of years old. I built the timber body guitar when I was 17. The black one is a Torch guitar. I had this exact same model when I was 12 and sold it a few years later. My son saw this one in a second hand shop and bought it for me. I often wonder if it’s the same one 😂
