Information
The very first Muse song on a commercial Muse record.
The version on the Muse EP differs from that which features on Showbiz, containing a slow bridge in the middle and additional lyrics, whilst omitting the last chorus.
Live
The song was first played sometime prior to Soundwaves 1997, the recording from which is the first known performance of Overdue.
It was likely commonly played throughout 1997 and 1998 as the band had seen some potential in the song based on its inclusion in the two-track demo. By 1999 it was played significantly less, but still made an appearance at most concerts. The notable exception was October 1999 where it did not make a single known appearance. It was usually either the opener or among the first few songs.
During 2000 it was played at nearly every gig for the first half of January before the change in setlists to a smaller set. From what we know it was played semi-commonly up until March when it was dropped with the only exceptions being the performance at the London Astoria on June 7th and at Rock am Ring on June 11th, its last confirmed performance. Out of all tracks from Showbiz, it was played the least in 2000, apart from Hate This & I'll Love You. Alongside Falling Down and Escape, it did not return for the Origin of Symmetry tour.
Composition
Overdue is written in 4/4 time, but changes to 6/4 during the chorus. The song moves at a tempo of 108 bpm.
Lyrics
You needed it when I was away
And no matter what I say You’ll never forget when I wasn’t there so Why should I care? I’m young but I know that I’m aroused
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
It doesn’t matter where I have gone I just can’t afford to Pay for all the mistakes that you have made It’s about time I was paid
I’m young but I know that I’m aroused
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
The Muse EP version of the song lacks the last chorus, is extended and features the extra lyrics:
You...
We really need to change it And turn it over
Cause you should have been there When I was aroused Cause you should have been there When I was aroused
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
