    "Get A Grip" was one of the first songs I did for "Bad Penny" I guess I was setting the tone for what would become an ALBUM, and part of that was acting upon things I'd gotten sick of on "Extended Play"

    I'd been playing live a lot around then and was becoming more and more aware that I had a lot of slow songs. To me, that's ace and I'll always do slow songs, but I'm not sure they really grab people. Instead of kicking against that, I thought I'd play to it and try and do more upbeat, "slick" material, like a lot of the 70's soul I'm into, just to see if I could. I did it quite a lot on "Bad Penny"

    "Get A Grip" is that, but in the lyrics, I'm just going on at myself. I make myself miserable and I can't help it, all my songs are about a girl but I can't whinge about her and not point the finger closer to home.

      Man. I've had to have listened to this song like 9001 times by now. every time, still makes me do the 70's swing from my computer chair.
