Biography:
Ratcat were an Australian indie rock band of the late 1980s and early 1990s fronted by Simon Day. Their combination of indie pop songwriting and energetic punk-style guitar won them fans from both the indie and skate-punk communities.
Ratcat formed in 1986 in Sydney and were a mainstay of that city's live music scene until they were eventually signed to Waterfront Records where they released a self-titled EP, several singles ("I Think I Love You", "Baby's Got A Gun") and their debut album, This Nightmare in 1989.

Ratcat- Getting Away From This World
F G
I'm flying high through the sky,
Bb C
past the moon and into a guessing game.
F G Bb C [F G Bb C]
And I'm thinking how small the world seems now.
F G Bb
Things fly by, but only consequence,
C
seems to pass me by.
F G Bb C F Bb [F G Bb Bb C C]
I am so small, and so is my misery.
F Bb [F F Bb Bb]
I'm getting away from this world.

I'm trying as hard as I can.

F G
This oxygen sets diamonds in my mind.
Bb C F
The missionary screams murder through my blood.
G Bb C
The pirate's treasure seems closer still somehow.
F G Bb C
Another galaxy flies by. I never seem to touch them.
I wonder why,

Until I hit the sun.
