Too Fast For You
The Church · Other Songs - The Church
Come down, another day
Morning streaked on a perspex screen
The screaming beaked, blackbirds peck
The wrecked eyes of last week's lies
The sandman gets shallow sleep
He tries to weep for the grown-up things
One last peep for policemen
Arresting in the woodland side so steep
Oh, and I hope I'm not going too fast for you
And don't believe it when they say it's over
It's not over
There's an ice age due on Wednesday
Overcast sky, blocks of fortune
The bridges sigh, the sweethearts are blank
They never thank you, know they never even try
Winking paperboy, paperwork
Overloaded portrait
Let it jerk you back to yesterday
That's where the curtains start to fray
Oh, and I hope I'm not going too fast for you
And don't believe it when they say it's over
It's not over
Oh, and I hope I'm not going too fast for you
And don't believe it when they say it's over
It's not over
Fast for you, too fast for you
Fast for you, too fast for you
Fast for you, too fast for you
Fast for you, too fast for
Morning streaked on a perspex screen
The screaming beaked, blackbirds peck
The wrecked eyes of last week's lies
The sandman gets shallow sleep
He tries to weep for the grown-up things
One last peep for policemen
Arresting in the woodland side so steep
Oh, and I hope I'm not going too fast for you
And don't believe it when they say it's over
It's not over
There's an ice age due on Wednesday
Overcast sky, blocks of fortune
The bridges sigh, the sweethearts are blank
They never thank you, know they never even try
Winking paperboy, paperwork
Overloaded portrait
Let it jerk you back to yesterday
That's where the curtains start to fray
Oh, and I hope I'm not going too fast for you
And don't believe it when they say it's over
It's not over
Oh, and I hope I'm not going too fast for you
And don't believe it when they say it's over
It's not over
Fast for you, too fast for you
Fast for you, too fast for you
Fast for you, too fast for you
Fast for you, too fast for
Too Fast For You
Released by The Church in 1986, 'Too Fast For You' stands as a defining track of the Australian post-punk and alternative rock movement. The song showcases the band's signature blend of driving rhythms, soaring vocals, and introspective lyrics that explored themes of modern alienation and the search for identity. As a staple of their discography, the recording captures the raw energy and melodic sophistication that characterized The Church's work during the mid-1980s. Its enduring popularity reflects the group's significant influence on the development of indie rock and their ability to craft songs that resonated deeply with listeners seeking authentic, emotionally charged music from that era.
