Grinspoon - Passerby Lyrics






Check yourself into the river
Check yourself into a dream
Check yourself into a hell hole
Where nobody else has been

Check yourself into a free fall
Hide away behind the scene
Check yourself into a nightmare
Where no one can hear you scream

Passerby pass me by to love you still
To love you still, to love you
Passerby pass me by to love you still
To love you still, to love you

This is something to remember
When I pass you on the street
I just hoped you would discover
It was me you're meant to meet

Don't know what started all the meltdowns
When the glasses came unstuck
Those moments still remind me
Could it be beginner's luck

Passerby pass me by to love you still
To love you still, to love you
Passerby pass me by to love you still
To love you still, to love you
[x2]

Never met like stranger ships in the night
Never found the danger, come find the light
This is not the start but this ain't the end
This is not the start but this ain't the end
Again

Passerby pass me by to love you still
To love you still, to love you
Passerby pass me by to love you still
To love you still, to love you
[x2]

    That's no ordinary rabbit!

  16. T.... G....

    I've been trying to find this song for years and now I finally found it. I always kept thinking this was from Wolfmother and I never could find it.

  17. J.... J....

    just in case you forget

  26. J.... M....

    great to see the grinners back I had the privelage to see them to many times in the early days and they still killing it now 5 stars

  27. J.... H....

    Love this song!

  28. T.... ....

    Rick Ali asked how its cheap - SIT provided most of the crew for the video, and I understand it was free or damn near so, as they were all film school students. This would have saved costs big time on production, making it worth them coming here to film.

  29. D.... d....

    Zeus I guess was one of the "Kiwi Star" attractions and one of the reasons for it being filmed in NZ as I believe he was the "pick of the pack" by the lead singer for having such beautiful eyes and being such a gorgeous "wolf" looking husky..... 

  30. f.... 1....

    underrated band

  31. F.... ....

    Ok... And no one has commented on how awesome the husky is in the vid... Go Zues

  32. J.... ....

    Can not get enough of this song!

  33. o.... ....

    ANZAC Cousins......now shhhh.....and get along!

  34. R.... A....

    where is ur proof nz is cheap

  35. N.... ....

    This was filmed in Bluff,New Zealand

  36. M.... ....

    I get what your saying Videopro234 you are talking about his voice's rhythmic variation relating to Manyards from Tool so it"s how he stresses the syllables in his words, Man you guys are fucking dumb..

  37. v.... ....

    Maton electrics? Pity. Still if your not paying for them why not?

  38. S.... W....

    I think you all sound like tools.

    S.... W....

    You sound like a foot fetish freak...

  39. M.... K....

    If anything the guitar riff sounds a bit like Pink Floyd. Nothing like Tool.

  40. T.... ....

    Just like everything else, the best stuff in Aus comes from NZ - it was filmed in Bluff.

  41. L.... ....

    I think it sounds a little like Tool. It's not a bad thing.

  42. K.... G....

    I don't think he was comparing them to the sound of Tool, rather he was saying that it was the same level of quality. No need to be such an aggressive dick.

  43. K.... D....

    They also have the trumpet

  44. m.... ....

    Great song. TOOL is also great. They both have electric guitar.

  45. D.... B....

    best aussie film clip !!!

    D.... B....

    its filmed in nz

  46. h.... g....

    This doesn't sound anything like tool you nobs

  47. J.... T....

    To be fair there are some songs where Maynard sounds slightly similar to this. Slightly. Not really. Similar harmonies. Not at all.

  48. j.... ....

    I don't know what's worse, his comment or the fact that 9 people have liked it!!

  49. m.... ....

    Sounds nothing like tool. It's better. First time I heard the song man I thought it was cool as hell.

  50. S.... ....

    the new normal* my bad

  51. S.... ....

    Great song but holy fuck the singer looks like the real gay cunt of that tv show the new perfect

  52. a.... ....

    Yeah it does sound like Tool

  53. P.... B....

    I don't give a shit who it sounds like. All I know is that it sounds good.

  54. M.... ....

    Someone needs better ears.

  55. d.... ....

    dirty rotten, glock on the block, be believing

  56. s.... ....

    It doesn't sound like Tool it sounds like the fucking theme to Melrose Place!

  57. T.... ....

    He was just saying that these guys are as awesome as Tool. Quite a big reference for the good old Grin.

    My version is better tho

    Just saw your comment on you tube... It's so stupid i knew you were a TOOL.

  58. s.... ....

    especially when he says "to love you still"

  59. s.... ....

    the chorus sounds like maynard

  60. R.... A....

    Beautiful n.z

  61. R.... A....

    wtf u stupid try hard they dnt sound lyk tool

  62. T.... ....

    Yeah I happened to be down there when they were filming the bits on the main street, walking in front of the shops. Kinda cool to see it all happening :).It was kinda funny seeing them all wrapped up due to the cold, and there I was in a t-shirt.

  63. U.... ....

    This songs music video was shot in my home town, bluff, the second southern most town in New Zealand. I got to see them filming! :D

  64. S.... N....

    How is this song not been viewed in the millions?

  65. r.... ....

    Great song and a gorgeous brunette to top it off.

  66. T.... c....

    Best song they have released.

  67. C.... W....

    Loving the guitar (especially the intro) & drums in this track. Lyrics are pretty good too.. Good job!

  68. D.... P....

    I'm Australian and I don't take offense to this.

  69. N.... ....

    Im going to go listen to 1000 miles now. To remind my self of how shit they werent.

  70. N.... ....

    This doesn't hold a candle to their earlier stuff. Indy band gone mainstream for mine.

  71. B.... M....

    EPIC SONG! Keep it up Grinners!

  72. R.... A....

    Australians are retards no one likes them anyway they try so hard to be american lol

  73. d.... ....

    have you ever listened to tool in your life ? it sounds nothing like them

  74. N.... ....

    Yeah,,except it sounds nothing like Tool ???

  75. D.... G....

    Клевая песня... но видео как-то тухловато.. О чем вообще клип?

  76. J.... D....

    Hey guy, chill.
    He said he'd heard it on the radio meaning he didn't get the chance to actually read the title.
    Also it's spelled dyslexic. (Dyslexia)

    Great song. ^^

  77. P.... B....

    Been out of the country for the last 6 months, so haven't heard most of the new music coming through but I'm assuming this album will pretty much round out the top 10 in the Hottest 100 this weekend

  78. S.... M....

    Yes there is an argument that it's a little too commercial but in a industry full of throw away pop artists, bands like Grinspoon are important to keep rock music in Australia alive long enough to build momentum for a comeback... Great song!

  79. N.... S....

    stihl chainsaws 660ms

  80. k.... i....

    anyone else get that tingling feeling that runs from your balls to the back of the neck through your spine?

  81. G.... N....

    How did u get tool from this? Nothing like tool what so ever

  82. H.... D....

    Yeah doesn't have the odd time signatures like Tool.

  83. H.... D....

    I heard it on Triple M as well, This is a great song, Australia has so many awesome bands ay, and as for Tool they are one of the best bands in the world personally my favourite.

  84. i.... ....

    There's nothing boring about this song, mate. It's quite possibly the last Aussie rock classic ever.

  85. b.... ....

    This is exactly what happens when bands get to commercial they get boring. guide to a better living was probably the best album of the 90's. not to mention pushing buttons is the best ep ever made by anyone

  86. m.... ....

    Wicked song, great video. Can anyone confirm the location for me, it looks a lot like Bluff, NZ

  87. P.... G....

    Nice song fellas.
    Good to see.

  88. C.... B....

    Are you a fucking idiot? It sounds nothing like Tool!

  89. S.... N....

    mean song

  90. B.... C....

    so why comment?

  91. D.... N....

    Doesn't sound anything like Tool

  92. a.... ....

    if you heard eye of the tiger you must be tone deaf!

  93. B.... ....

    In my view, this song is just ace.

  94. J.... C....

    Clearly people do!

  95. S.... W....

    pls comment again when you have more than 12 years of life experience

  96. R.... H....

    Love this song and it has an awesome video :) Just wondering if anyone else thinks or sees that the passerby lady is or looks like Jessica Tovey?

  97. C.... ....

    sounds like love your skin

  98. j.... h....

    it was
