Lyrics
Things are getting so much faster
Things are becoming increasingly fast-paced.
I've stopped buying green bananas
I no longer plan for the long term, as time is fleeting.
And a week seems like an hour
A week feels as short as an hour.
A month's over before it started
Time passes quickly, and a month is over before it feels like it began.
My feet, they never touch the ground
I'm constantly on the move; my feet are figuratively airborne.
No one's ever hanging around
I'm often alone; there's a lack of companionship.
You know I love to shop on impulse
I enjoy spontaneous shopping, especially when traditional values are discounted.
When family values are on discount
A satirical comment on the commodification of family values.
I haven't got time to spell it out
Expressing a lack of time to explain or elaborate on things.
The tension in P.M.T. comes from the G.S.T
The stress in premenstrual tension comes from the goods and services tax.
Guess what, the A.T.M.'s chewed up the card again
The ATM machine has malfunctioned or swallowed the credit card.
And our kids with A.D.D. are being fed Dexys
Children with Attention Deficit Disorder are being medicated with Dexys.
To get them through the H.S.C
Referencing the stress of high school exams (H.S.C).
So up the ante and the price
Emphasizing the increasing costs and the fast pace of contemporary life.
The nervous pace of modern life
Describing the anxious speed of modern life.
I love to feel the wind in my hair
Expressing a desire for freedom and enjoyment amidst chaos.
Wear special glasses for my hindsight
Using hindsight to reflect on past events.
But I haven't got time to spell it out
Reiterating a lack of time to explain or elaborate.
I'm getting R.S.I. from the mobile
Suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury due to excessive mobile phone use.
And my PIN is an acronym
The PIN is an abbreviation, emphasizing a reliance on acronyms.
And my B.P. is 2IC
Blood pressure is second in command (2IC), highlighting stress.
And I'm 24-7 chasing the G.L
Constantly busy, pursuing the good life (G.L) around the clock.
And I haven't got time to spell it out
Reiterating a lack of time to explain or elaborate.
I'm M.I.A. in the C.B.D
Missing in action in the Central Business District.
So put out an A.P.B.
Issuing an All Points Bulletin for help or relief.
And I need some R&R
In need of rest and relaxation.
Give me some T.L.C A.S.A.P
Seeking tender loving care as soon as possible.
