about

The Sick-Leaves are gearing up for the digital release of long awaited fourth album Breaking Away on January 23rd 2012.

Breaking Away was originally envisioned to be an EP but once completed clocked in at an explosive twenty-nine minutes following the inclusion of the most recently written song and first radio single Catfights In Bushes.

Catfights In Bushes is by far one of the most energetic songs The Sick-Leaves has ever recorded.
Songwriter Eksteen Jacobsz describes the lyrics as being “a metaphor for how often we get caught up in a tangle with other people and how opportunities are made or lost with respect to how you react to those encounters.”

Breaking Away is a jubilant, victorious, uplifting experience.

lyrics

Catfights In Bushes

sometimes, it feels like I’m in your firing line
wait up, wait for your squeeze on the side, alright
high up, they’ll lean on your spirit to dig them a hole
lounge back, it’s about to spiral outta control

I don’t mind she said / before it expires come inside
hold the line / Dear Whoever, who’s in charge?
Step in / step out / cat fights in bushes

come down, it’s not as if you have a bird’s eye view, from up there
call in, but not if you can say I like the way that you are
don’t think for a moment you have what it takes in the bag
wake up, it’s a violent war that won’t end

all the love you had / over powered you / brought you down
all the tears / Dear Whoever, who’s in charge?
Step in / step out /cat fights in bushes

this time, cat fights in bushes won’t slow me down, let’s meet up tonight
I found a way, to suck them right out of their holes, not again, I’ll fall for their kind
hang on, whatever you do don’t let go / come on / settle in

come on settle in x3
