Minute by minute Lyrics
This is a New Year lullaby, I can not fake it.
You know the reasons, don’t ask why.
When I got drunk and crashed the car, were you still near me?
Still I’ve got writing on my face.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.
This is an Easter crucified, buried in levels.
Though I’m still bleeding I won’t die.
I can see violence in your eyes; I’ve run out of water.
Satan is singing me lullabies.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day. Ooh.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.
Ooh la la, ohh la la, ohh la la (etc)
I know it’s time to say goodbye, but I’m still wasted
This is no time for me to…
Now that its all been said and done, our house is empty.
Where do I go now you have gone?
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day. Ooh.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.
You know the reasons, don’t ask why.
When I got drunk and crashed the car, were you still near me?
Still I’ve got writing on my face.
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.
Though I’m still bleeding I won’t die.
I can see violence in your eyes; I’ve run out of water.
Satan is singing me lullabies.
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day. Ooh.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.
This is no time for me to…
Now that its all been said and done, our house is empty.
Where do I go now you have gone?
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day. Ooh.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you’re so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.

Phil said at the 2008 Big Day Out that this song was dedicated to Jessica.. anyone know who she is/was?
To me this song has always been about the radio i know but im wrong but my interpretation of "though i can touch you you're so far away" has always been the radio is always there but you can never really touch it. If you disagree with me then get over it cos thats just my peronal thoughts.
jeez u idiots, its about him drink driving, crashing and putting his friend into a comba. think about it
i dont know about that Jessica thing though, i wouldn't have thought it would be true, but you never know
yeah GotMitch im not buyin it i mean it does mention in there about a car crash but what proof s there in the song about his friend in a coma? NONE! Good day to u sir
are you retarded?
minute by minute, day by day (waiting at the hospital) though i can touch you youre so far away (touch physically but theyre not conscious)
i resent that i'm not retarded just an idiot and proud of it.....good day to you madam
The reference to Jessica is about Jessica Michalik who died of asphyxiation five days after being crushed in a mosh pit during the 2001 Big Day Out whilst Limp Bizkit was playing. She was a huge Grinspoon fan, and they performed at her funeral.
No you sillies. This is a song dedicated to Phil's wife. When Phil was hooked on meth he did some pretty crazy stuff.
"When I got drunk and crashed the car, were you still near me? Still I�ve got writing on my face"
Refers to his wife. Phil wondering if his wife was by his side in hospital after he crashed his car on an ice bender.
"Now that its all been said and done, our house is empty. Where do I go now you have gone?"
Refers to when his wife left him due to his addiction to ice.
Yeh thats right. I'm the grand champ!!
She did not leave him because he was on meth she left him because he had an affair
id say this is about her leaving him
Phil is now clean and back together with his wife and 2 children
I'd guess it's about struggling with addiction - though he's clean, the temptation is always there ("satan is singing me lullabies". But it's a positive song - "though I can touch you, you're so far away" - he knows he could go back, but he has no intention of doing so; and "though I'm still bleeding, I won't die" - he's determined to get through it.
Eloquent, succinct and soulful. Wish I could write like that!
