Please Leave

"Please Leave" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Jebediah. It was released on 13 March 2000 as the third and final single from the band's second studio album, Of Someday Shambles. "Please Leave" was co-written by all four band members, Chris Daymond, Brett Mitchell, Kevin Mitchell and Vanessa Thornton. Brett, the group's drummer, in a run through Of Someday Shambles' track list, described it as "The lost song. We played it at Planet (in Perth) before Slightly Odway. Kevin had written out the lyrics and gaffa taped them to Vanessa's back. After that we totally forgot about it and Chris found the lyric sheet in a guitar case somewhere."^[1]
