Gravity Stairs (2024)












Magic Piano lyrics - Crowded House

I began to sense my own weight
Walking up the gravity stairs
Bells ringing in the temple above
The piano was playing itself
Words matter but they get in the way
When you got some stories to tell
Let the melody reign, oh yeah

Here am I, so bright
Here am I, so light

(Breathe)
Breathe in the magic piano air
Leave with a contact high
I was playing for them
Love is a gift I was given once
Now I must keep it alive
I was thinking of her

These are the dark forces now
Making shadows dance on the stairway
Who's that joker with the crooked smile?
In the car that speeds away
From the scene of the crime

Here am I, so bright
Here am I, so light

(Breathe)
Breathe in the magic piano air
Leave with a contact high
I was playing for that
Love is a gift I was given once
Now I must pay them in kind
I was dreaming of her
If I end up forgetting what I had to say
You will still hear me humming on the last day

Always rising to the surface now
On a zephyr, the echo ever so faint
Let the melody reign again

I was thinking of him
Contact high
I was dreaming of him
I believe in the magic piano, yeah
I was thinking of him
Contact high
I was dreaming of him
I believe in the magic piano, yeah
I was dreaming of him
Now I must keep it alive
Love, lets take a chance
You told me the last days are coming

Teenage Summer lyrics - Crowded House

(Are we gonna have some teenage summer)

Is it real
Or a fiction of your mind
Am I gone
In a fraction of your time
You mistake my real intentions once again
Want to be near you, wanted to hear you

My words alight
Like paper drifting in the sky
Not enough to be a witness of your life
All along
I was hoping we would come of age
Walking around you
Want to surround you
But I can't get close enough
Can't get close enough
Wanted to find you
Wanted to break through
Life's imitation
I've been away too much
I've been locking it away too much

I'm here tonight
And I'm gone again
I'm here tonight
And I'm gone again
(You pick up your bags
And you ready to fly
Pick up your bags)

Baby come on
Wanted to hear you
Want to be near you
But I can't get close enough
I can't get close enough
Want to surround you
Want to be near you
But I can't get close enough
Wanted to be near you
Wanted to care for you
But I can't get close enough
Wanted to break through
Life's imitation
I've been away too much
I've been locking it away too much
I'm gonna call you
Life's imitation
I've been away too much
I've been locking it away too much
I'm gonna call you
Life's imitation, blue heaven

Are we gonna have some teenage summer
Are we gonna have some mad new year
Are we gonna have some teenage summer
Am I gonna have some mad idea

Are we gonna have some teenage summer
Am I gonna have some mad idea

The Howl lyrics - Crowded House

With a sword in her hand
She was so damn mad
Cut circles in the sand
Oh the drama that it had

Old guard to upend
Sisters to defend
I won't try to pretend
Cos you know we get along
Always laughing like we're kids

Underwater I'm the land
And I don't want to be alone
But I could never love again
No surprise it's a groundhog day
Learn your lines, they're the same tonight

First you bark then you leave
Well I can't see the forest from the trees
Give me time to be calm
But beware when I'm baring my teeth
We howl in the air aaaoooooo

I've held my breath so far
I shake my body up
And I will howl

All That I Can Ever Own lyrics - Crowded House

Whenever I remember my days
As I grow old, I'm grateful
And I hold this child in my arms
Heaven knows I'm hopeful
And you look so deep in my eyes
And you know I'm faithful

Revelations on the ride home
That when love is in my heart
It's all that I can ever own

I might push her away
If I don't be careful
And my worries keep me awake
Every night I'm fearful
That the storm might cause her to stray
Or some slimy devil

Revelations on the ride home
Back when love is in my heart
It's all that I can ever own
It's in my heart
It's all that I can ever own

Sand castle shiver
Taken by the river
Into the great unknown
Send me to heaven
Love in the present
All I can ever own
Someone is waiting
Maybe a stranger
One day, he'll guide you home

Let the child go a wandering
And following her heart
We all become a part of someone else

Love is in my heart
It's all that I can ever own
Love is in my heart
It's all that I can ever own
Love is in my heart
It's all that I can ever own

Oh Hi lyrics - Crowded House

Every child is a mystic, having visions of a new dawn
Be the one in a million that could lift the sun
Up and over my horizon
They can take it to the people with a microphone
Scare the darkness with a lightbulb

Oh hi, oh hi
Same light in your head
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, I won't forget

I know we can make something happen
You can put me back together
When I think I can do no wrong
When it comes to being clever
I should never count anyone out
'Cause she's not the kind of puzzle only you can do
Underwater with a blindfold

Oh hi, oh hi
Same light in your head
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, you're in my head
Oh hi, oh hi
Same light, I won't forget

I won't forget
So high
You come on overland
See what you're missing
It's so fine

The world's crazy, that's for sure
And there's something wrong with the state of my head
Well I know you can get to the heart of it
That is what I came here for

Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright
And that is why I wanna hear more
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, you're in my head

I won't forget
Oh hi, oh hi (It's alright)
You're in my head
Oh hi, oh hi
The same light, I won't forget

Some Greater Plan (For Claire) lyrics - Crowded House

Your life is just beginning
The war, it never ends
Here's a reminder
We can look forward again
The spark is returning
We made eyes across the room
You are gorgeous and absurd
Tell me, have you heard
The word "Resurrection"?

We gave up on the world somehow
Now we better start believing (Believe in your heart)
If all that we can do
Is fill the room with a song of love
I'm there if you want
To feel a part of some greater plan
Do you want to heal the heart
Of this broken man?

You'll never be lonely again
Would you like to say yes?
We'll clean up the mess
Sad children of the Earth
Tell me, have you heard
The word "Revolution"?

We gave up on the world somehow (Say it now)
Now we better start believing (Believe in your heart)
If all that we can do
Is fill the room with a song of love
I'll sing it if you want
To feel a part of some greater plan
Do you want to heal the heart
Of this broken man?

Do you want, do you want, do you want
Do you want, do you want
Do you want, do you want
Do you want to heal the heart
Of this broken man?

Black Water, White Circle lyrics - Crowded House

I took my prize
From the land of plenty
Now miles away
I'm almost empty
Libera la mente
Wherever you are

The pale moonlight
Is now presenting
On the mirror lake
The willow bending
The flame ascending
Our love consenting to go further

The black, and the white (Black water, white circle)
Become bright (Bright-coloured rings around the star)
Luminescent eyes
That look out of the incoming waves tonight my love

And from our beds
Creep wingless angels
With bleeding hearts
I must be dreaming
The lizard screaming
Don't look for meaning, only purpose
For heaven's sake (Black water)

Won't you please (White circle)
Let me know (Please let me know)
If you still believe in me
In this other place
Where the song
That plays on
Is completely unknown
Oh, oh, oh, oh

She is the force that leads me to the lake on the day of the dead
A face I'll never forget
A black-and-white vignette
Reflected in the water

Black water, white circle
Bright-coloured rings around the star
Black water, white circle
Bright-coloured rings around your heart
Black water, white circle
Please let me know that you believe in me

Blurry Grass lyrics - Crowded House

On the blurry grass, on the blurry

You've got a feeling it's not for sure
But I can't help you figure it out
There's no excuses and nothing has changed
But I won't tell you what it's about

Am I ever gonna get that thought from my bed?
You say it's passion, what you'd imagine, you've seen a ghost

Surprise we rise another day
There's no hope of stopping it now
You're so indifferent like you never cared
My words mean something, yours mean nothing

Am I ever gonna get that thought from my bed?
And if all of us wave that flag, we fill the sky
It's the lowliest thing I saw with my naked eye
You say it's passion, I see a pattern, you've seen a ghost

Open up my eyes, hoping I'm alive
Woke up on the lawn, covered in bugs and butterflies

And if anybody thinks that bothers me, ain't that bad
And it's nice of you to lay these promises on my lap
It's the lowliest thing I saw with my naked eye
You say it's passion, what you'd imagine, you've seen a ghost
You say it's passion, but that didn't happen, you've seen a ghost

On the blurry grass, on the blurry grass, on the blurry grass

I Can't Keep Up With You lyrics - Crowded House

Surprise yourself, you might
Surprise yourself, you might
Surprise yourself, you will
Surprise yourself, you might

Riding on the roundabout
I am bound to follow you now
I can hardly catch up from behind
Forever be the lady in waiting
You know how to test her patience
You suffer fools with graciousness abounding

Having trouble keeping up with the neighbours
She was leaning over all night long
Won't you get up and play that song
We all know the tune but not the words

You know I can't keep up with you
No matter what I try to do
You know I can't keep up with you
No matter what I try to do
I never can keep up with you

Show me something radical
Dare ka sake? Ai sh teru
I'm nervous at the start
Then we got the chemicals

And suddenly you're irresistible
You're compared to the poet Byron
And she offered to be your muse
Well, you can't stop us loving you
Said the mother and daughter

You know I can't keep up with you
No matter what I try to do
I never can keep up with you
So boring, you're tired and you wanna go home
Oh no, oh no

Show me something good again
A case of wine, ich liebe dich
It's awkward at the start
And then we saw the animals

I hate to fake my state of mind
For the keys to your heart
My mind, my brain, the Marquis de Sade
Mystified, mistake

You know I can't keep up with you
I never can keep up with you
I can't keep up
I can't keep up
I can't keep up

Thirsty lyrics - Crowded House

She is not like anyone
Would be worth waiting for
When first laid eyes upon
Then words come easy
Fulsome, pleasing
Straight from the heart
No more backs turning
Won't surrender to
Voices taunting me

How come some people never get thirsty? (Ah)

Should we get up or down?
Be wild-eyed in the crowd
As the greyhounds leapt ahead
When love comes early
Handsome, burly
Looks you in the eye
I saw a sea burning
And the earth linger
In a timeless dream

How come some people never get thirsty? (Ah)

Don't dilly dally, don't delay
Don't dilly dally, just decide
Don't dilly dally, don't delay
Don't dilly dally, seize the night
Don't delay, don't dilly dally
MIA
Don't delay fun

We are more than what is spoken
Let the silence be unbroken
There are mountains of resistance
They are melting all that distance

It's 3 in the morning and we're hitting the sack
And nothing could last
But it's lovely to have you back
Blow out the candles and you fade to black
Blow out the candles and you fade to black

Night Song lyrics - Crowded House

May I have the pleasure
Of your good company?
Your carriage is waiting
Gonna take you away with me
Drifting in the dim light
Lift off after midnight
Bursting out above the clouds
For one glimpse of paradise

Been a long time in the darkness
But we travel the road of the sun (The sun)
Safe passage was granted
By a pair of scorpions
Look what's going down now
A garden bed of wonder
I came upon the desert king
He was the solitary kind

I owe you thanks now for everything
Remembering you got me so inspired
Felt so lonely when I passed your gate
'Round the corner, by then it's too late
To say thank you

Here it comes, another night song
Stuck in my brain
Wish there was another way of giving you praise (Praise)
Hollywood streets, so full of surprises
Like mayhem made for pleasure
My mother said she'd love me no matter what the crime
There's a rock you crawl under when you are down
You won't know when I'm coming 'cause you won't hear a sound
I'm just trying to write a love song
Here it comes, a middle of the night song
Stuck in my brain
Wish there was another way of finding that vein

And here it comes (Yeah), another night song
For all of my days
I could never get away from nothing
For the love of God, killing you with kindness
For all of my days
I could never get away from nothing

Oh, beautiful, I love it

Dreamers Are Waiting (2021)












Bad Times Good lyrics - Crowded House

Hey
Everybody wants to make a bad time good
Hey
It looks like some kind of medicine for me
Hey
Everybody wants to make a good time last

Before we choose a path
Let's spend the night at Los Campaneros please
Through the doorways of the past
Do you have to bend so low?

Hey
Everybody wants to make a bad time good
Hey
It looks like a bear stole the honey from the bees
Hey
Every day you send a dozen boxes home
Oh how would I know what anybody needs?

And now we just have to breathe
And it's a challenge for the impresario
Another compromise on the way
I thought you'd get it by now yeah
Whether sunlight or shadow falls on me

You won't come out
Rolling drums they say
Come out
Before the dawning
You won't come out
Roaring thunder breaks
Come out
Before the morning
You blow my mind

Hey
Everybody wants to make a bad time good
Hey
It looks some kind of medicine for me

Playing With Fire lyrics - Crowded House

The chairman's looking out for me
And fortune used to favor me
Lately I've been lying frozen in my bed
Feeling like the end isn't far away

Now some might say
We're losing ground
I've never seen such a thing
Never seen such a thing
To thank your enemy
My wife is wild in quarantine
The chairman's got it in for me
And my brain is getting closer to the edge
But I can't explain that trip to her

Now some might say
We're winding down
I've never seen such a thing
Never seen such a thing

We're playing with fire
And we're playing with fire
And we're playing with fire

And this time, let's all be quiet
The next generation's talking
We're behind the wheel
We're driving straight to the wall

Pretend it's alright
We'll make it in time
Be equal to the fight
Be someone saving lives

When my legs and my arms let go
That's when my hands and my heart say no

We're playing with fire
And this time

And some may say
We'll turn it round
If you believe such a thing
I'll believe such a thing

To The Island lyrics - Crowded House

You pick me up with a smile for my weakness
I'm bittersweet but you care about me
You found me lost in the chaos and confusion
You said it's possible that we can be free
You take my hand and then you sweep me off my feet

Oh let me move you
Come to the island
Where we can save our souls
It's just the right size
The world is beyond us
It's too enormous
But oh the island is just right
It's the perfect size

You pick me up, with the promise of love
Our names on the door at the island of real
You have a way of being gentle and tough
In every sense I think you know how I feel
Cos I'm afraid of things I don't understand
And now I need a little hope

Oh let me move you
(The cities covered in smoke)
Come to the island
(The whole systems broke)
Where we can save our souls
It's just the right size (for me)
The world is beyond us
(Let's not get into a fight)
It's too enormous
(Irene Goodnight)
But oh the island is just right
It's the perfect size
Just right
It's the perfect size (for me)

The world is beyond us
(Shit just got real)
It's too enormous
(Fell under the wheel)
But oh the island is just right
It's the perfect size (for me)
It's the perfect size

Sweet Tooth lyrics - Crowded House

There's just enough right now
To go around
There were six of us but somehow
Now there's 17

It's been a wait
At Mr Chow's for peking duck
Just enough right now
To put that madness in your heart

Sweet tooth
And you don't remember
Can't find anyone
To tell your troubles to
Sweet tooth
You can't resist it
How could anyone
With that sugar in their mouth

Just enough right now
To go around
Chocolate swirl, sugar plum
Go lie down
Buzzing out, go crazy now
Can't find sweetness in your heart, yeah

Sweet tooth
And you don't remember
Can't find anyone
To tell your troubles to
Sweet tooth
You don't resist it
Put that sugar in your mouth

I will never know when I've had enough
I will never know when I've had enough
Feel it travelling in my blood
Feel it beating in my heart
I will never know when I've had enough
I will never know when I've had enough
Butterfly kisses like a drug
I will never know till the sugars all run out

Sweet tooth
And you don't remember
And you can't find anyone
To tell your troubles to
Sweet tooth
Don't resist it
How could anyone
Put that madness in your heart

Whatever You Want lyrics - Crowded House

People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want

People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want

Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got em well trained now)

People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(To keep you in your place)

Every night and every day
Some will fall upon their swords
In order that they might serve
The greater good but don't believe a word of it

People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got em well trained now)

Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(They dare not complain)

As crazy as a king
As bent as a snake
But there are some things
They will never ever say

Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(To keep you in your place)

Hear the lying every day
I see the same expressions on them
How they long to speak their mind
But something always stops them dead
Should be shouting from the mountain
At their top of their voice
"This is not right; this man is a fake"
But they will follow him down
To the edge of the cliff
And if he tells them to jump
They will jump right in

Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got em well trained now)
Whatever you want

You raise your hand
And they respond
And they will tell you
Whatever you want

Show Me The Way lryics - Crowded House

And I opened up
When the sheriff came
In my father's name

And I took the fall
For my brothers' shame
Would you do the same?

When I see red
I put a handgun
Under my pillow

When I see blue
I put a blanket
Over my window

Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real

The smokers came
Through the sugar cane
With the burning cross

You'll forget me not
When you wipe away
All the holy pain

When I see red
I feel a power
For no reason

When I see blue
I think of nothing
That lasts forever

Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real

Show me now
Cause I'm still learning
It's all or nothing
Show me the way to love you for real

Goodnight Everyone lyrics - Crowded House

Oldest form of revenue
One more drink for the road
Drive them to the heights
Dragging by the toes

Goodnight everyone
Keep your eyes on me
When the view is insane
We can break the mold
And go against the grain

Where are you now my sister?
Wilding hair beneath the half moon
Arrange the heavens Electra
Your flaming arrow in the dawn

You leave my mind so clear
But the floor is a mess
Those dreamless nights on the road
I count among the best

Goodnight everyone
I'm all done with fame
Cause I'm always on guard
Always on parade
Never seen again

Where are you now my sister?
Wilding hair beneath the half moon
Arrange the heavens Electra
Your flaming arrow in the dawn

Too Good For This World lyrics - Crowded House

Go quickly my dear
Fly like the wind
Look at you chief
Your wings are magnificent
The air is alive
There's a mob set on violence
There must be a way
To escape from the follies of men
I may never see sailor again
If you see her, tell her I love her
Maybe one day it will all make sense
But if I have to leave her

I must be too good for this world
I must believe that I can reach the sky
My feathers are flowing
And my wings unfurled
I must be too good for this world

The dream was so real
It was truly divine
We made heavenly love
I saw God for a moment
I would if I could
But I can't reach him now
He's been carried away
On a horse with his head in the clouds
My sailor, my island, my dream
There will always be blue skies above her
She was just the right size for me
But if I have to leave her

I must be too good for this world
I must believe that I can reach the sky
My feathers are flowing and my wings unfurled
I must be too good for this world

These little things are meant to try us
These little wings were meant to fly
These little things are sent to try us
These little wings were meant to fly

I gave myself to love
It seemed so simple
Ah, but I only made things worse
And goodness is a curse

I must be too good for this world
I must believe that I can reach the sky
My feathers are flowing and my wings unfurled
I must be too good for this world

These little things are sent to try us
These little wings were meant to fly
These little things are sent to try us
These little wings were meant to fly

Start Of Something lyrics - Crowded House

The call has come through
You're so out of tune
So awkward on the phone

I'm in the ambulance
Where's the rapture
A sign to carry on
Where you won't be mad at me

This make up
Has come to nothing
This breakup
Is the start of something
Precious
The world returning

Walking out on you
The only one I love
Half of me wants to stay
There's still ways to go
And some will never know
And though they tell you it's the end

It's the start of something
This makeup
Has come to nothing
Like an echo
Of a world returning

A world returning
It's the start of something

It's the start of something
I know it

Real Life Woman lyrics - Crowded House

No I'll never understand
The criminal mind
It's a nice soundtrack
For a late night
Narrative not so critical
My own thoughts are difficult
I'm so tired
And there's nobody else to call

And I'll never understand
Why you put up that wall
A woman so gifted and intelligent
You don't like the way I'm telling it
From a distance
And I could feel your power
When we were singing lines together

Real life woman
Never my intention
To create a legend
Talking 'bout a real life woman
Every misadventure
Is a kind of redemption

You're not dressing for a man
In your elegant gown
Still an incurable romantic
Under the lights
Like a bird in flight
Every single night
You bring everyone together

Real life woman
Never my intention
To create a legend
Talking 'bout a real life woman
Every misadventure
Is a kind of redemption

Someone hiding put that image in your mind
In the shape of a real life
Leave him locked inside
Keep him out of sight
Never take a chance
A love to waste them all
Giant creatures wait
On the beaches of the Nile
It must be good for someone, yeah

Love Isn't Hard At All lyrics - Crowded House

Let's go
The world awaits
Or save it for a rainy day above you

We can try
All kinds of ways
To send me to an early grave below you

It wouldn't hurt to hear you say
Although it's just a turn of phrase
"I love you"

And in the dark
I hear the call
It feels like love isn't hard at all
The sun comes up and I see you lost in thought

Those eyes are miles away
They'll take your mind on holiday
Where are you?

I'll help you
Remember

A man works hard
To find his shape
Knowing where he stands
And how much of this he can take
The song the siren's make
Getting loud as the swell's about to break

And will I float when the life boat goes under?

Just like the ocean floor
You're relatively unexplored
Who are you?

And from the deep
I hear the call
It feels like love isn't hard at all
My head comes up and I'm ready
Fear no more

Deeper Down lyrics - Crowded House

The whale lies
Washed up in the shallows
Stinking to high heaven
People running round gasping
Why oh why
I am never one to wallow
I leapt into the ocean
Went diving deeper down

Let's go deeper down now
Let's go deeper down
Let's go deeper down now
Let's go deeper down

There's someone hiding in the shadows
A young man dim and callow
He's stolen all my clothes
Hungry eyes of imaginary lovers
Devils must be dancing
In the mind of every man

(Let's go deeper down)
When you think it's getting rough
On the surface high above
I'm always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
In my nature you can trust
More than hunger, more than lust
I'm always reaching out for love
A little deeper down

Like any flower on earth
From the moment of my birth
My desire is to open up

Hold me
Love me

When you think it's getting rough
On the surface high above
I'm always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
In my nature you can trust
More than hunger, more than lust
I'm always reaching out for love
A little deeper down

Anthem lyrics - Crowded House

There for my children, there for my woman
Deep in the garden, no longer forbidden
I'm humming to myself my own anthem
Somethin' joyous, cover the weakness in my soul

When she's in danger who'd be a witness?
I would risk everything for her happiness
Now I'm humming to myself my own anthem
Somethin' joyous, cover the weakness
A heavenly chorus

And I come to my senses
Just before I close the door
And I won't be kept apart
From the ones that I adore
And you fix it to your head
And it's there forever more

I don't wanna lose you
A prayer in the silence
Think of forgiveness

An end of the violence
And I come to my senses
Just before you close the door
You keep it in line, you keep it in line

You keep it in your mind
You keep it in your mind
You keep it in your mind
You keep it in your mind

I don't remember
I don't remember

Beautiful Life lyrics - Crowded House

It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
Beginning with pain
And ending in sorrow
Can you push hard
Enough to shine on?

So welcome and smile, it arrives on time
If not today, there's always tomorrow
You read my signs so well
I pick you up side and raising one eye...
It's a beautiful life

Old is always missing
I can never see forthlooking
Ah...

Beautiful wife, we're together for live
And every day wonder 'bout it's lies
Won't you please come home?
'Cause you know, where everything goes

A beautiful machine
The colour so green
The blink of an eye
The time is a hallow
And save us, burning green
The colour is green
The number thirteen
It's a wonderful life

Ah...

It's a beautiful life
Sold in sable
It's a beautiful life
And sold undoubled

Bound To Rescue lyrics - Crowded House

Freedom lies, without good heart
Find a way to stop? Or a way to end
The mystic wand, the fair weather friend
Find a way to stop or a means to end

Torn my hopes
Let the battle commence
There is my honour
Bound to rescue
Bound to rescue

The dawn he has no intellect
Any danger will with his sword protect
The tribal dance, a fight to the death
For our worst desires, make us blind to the rest

If to conquer we must
Let the battle commence
There is my honour
Bound to rescue
Bound to rescue
Bound to rescue
Bound to rescue

All in fire
Bound to rescue
All in fire
Bound to rescue

Eyes Grow Heavy lyrics - Crowded House

We stand on guard 'til our eyes grow so heavy
We hang on tight 'til our hands grow so weak
All precautions prepare you for nothing
When lights go down on the street

And when the morning comes
You won't remember too much of anything at all
And in my future of fantastic visions
They're tall and sleek and they tower over me

Tie me down and I'll beg them for mercy
I'm paralysed in my sleep
And when the morning comes
I won't remember too much of anything at all

Before they break in to steal the silver
Thieves come 'round to admire the loss
At the end of each waking hour
Is just one more chime on the clock

And when the morning comes
You won't be aware of his touch or anything at all

Nonsense Of Course lyrics - Crowded House

Oh, my love, your colour is gone
You can rest, take a breath to focus on
And there's nothing more you can't handle

Word is heard, I'm kissing now
Being trapped we can help each other out
Make the devil run, doing... doing

Here is a light (tonight, tonight)
Here is a light (come on tonight)
Come on inside, let the heaven set you free

You and me, the stars
Maybe love tonight
Every time it's fun
'Till the end of time

All the heartbeats count
We'll be guilty but, they count together our
Take us and marry us

Even now, I go in to score but...
I can't help but to linger on
And you know how I lie to get doing

Every woman and every man gets close together
When the worse things happen
And for this I'll love the stronger person

Who'll ever make stars?
Maybe love enough
Every diamond spark, 'till the end of time
All the heartbeat melts they'll be good to us
Come together us, taken some day or ...

It's just a cold when our leaders know too much
Save me, you got to feel it
I can't believe
Just a cold when our leaders were bound to see

I'm in trouble here
But just you and I are parting ways
We got the feds, we won't come undone too late

Every woman and every man gets close together
When the worse things happen
There is a life that's stronger than before

This could be a chance to see with my own eyes
A carousel or a diamond bell
What time to circle in the sky

They're here with us
They believe in us and they come from on hide
And they travel in the wilderness too
They read at us and decided us
There's a dark to the future for a couple of impressionist kids

And they land on the grass tonight
There'll be cottons of flaming hits
There'll be colourful lights to fly
You're my starlight companion

They put you in a trance
They really captivate your heart
They make you lose your head
They are the strangest friends you've got being the audience

Who really laugh with them?
They are the strangest friends you've got
And you'll forget to say 'Thanks a lot'

And they land on the grass tonight
There'll be cottons of flaming hits
There'll be colourful lights to fly
You're my starlight companion

Ooh hey, starlight
Ooh hey, starlight

And when you dance they really captivate your heart
They make you move your wrist
They are the strangest friends you've got being the audience

Who is in love with them?
They are the strangest friends you've got
And you'll forget to say 'Thanks a lot'

When they land on the grass tonight
And they take your soul and wish it's a part of the game
When strange friends come out to play

Oh Hi lyrics - Crowded House

Every child is a mystic, having visions of a new dawn
Be the one in a million that could lift the sun
Up and over my horizon
They can take it to the people with a microphone
Scare the darkness with a lightbulb

Oh hi, oh hi
Same light in your head
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, I won't forget

I know we can make something happen
You can put me back together
When I think I can do no wrong
When it comes to being clever
I should never count anyone out
'Cause she's not the kind of puzzle only you can do
Underwater with a blindfold

Oh hi, oh hi
Same light in your head
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, you're in my head
Oh hi, oh hi
Same light, I won't forget

I won't forget
So high
You come on overland
See what you're missing
It's so fine

The world's crazy, that's for sure
And there's something wrong with the state of my head
Well I know you can get to the heart of it
That is what I came here for

Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright
And that is why I wanna hear more
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, you're in my head

I won't forget
Oh hi, oh hi (It's alright)
You're in my head
Oh hi, oh hi
The same light, I won't forget

Only Way To Go Is Forward lyrics - Crowded House

Only way to go is forwards
Where the future's looking bright
Curtains on the bar are closing
That's why we'll have to stay all night

Drink up there's no one in control
Give in to the madness in our soul
You and me are witness to the fall
Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I tell you what we've got
Not too much time before they bury us

Only way to go is forwards
And it's not such a pretty sight
When you head is full of embers
From the fire we lit last night

Drink up there's no one in control
Give in to the madness in our soul
You and me are witness to the fall
Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I tell you what we've got
Not too much time before they bury us

We'll have moments of wrapped up patience
Lots of feelings of desperation
And we won't sit back and looking at photographs
Come back to see the aftermath
Life still makes, pictures integrate, your live, ah ah ah ah...

Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I tell you what we've got
Not too much time before they bury us

Celebration and we won't get back
Looking at photographs
To see the aftermath
Walk and think you're great
Your control, oh oh oh...

Some Greater Plan lyrics - Crowded House

(live version)

Your life, is just beginning, the war it never ends
Here's a reminder, we can look forward again
The spark is returning, we made eyes across the room
You were gorgeous and absurd, tell me, have you heard
The word resurrection

We gave up on the world somehow
And now we start believing
If all that we could do, is fill the room
With a song of love

I'm here if you want, to feel a part
Of some greater plan
Do you want, to heal the heart
Of this broken man?
You'll never be lonely again, would you like to say yes
We'll clean up the mess, sad children of the earth
Tell me have you heard, the world revolution

We gave up on the world somehow
Now we better start believing
If all that we could do, is fill the room
With a song of love

I'll sing it if you want, to feel a part
Of some greater plan
Do you want, to heal the heart
Of this broken man?

Do you want? Do you want? Do you want?
Do you want? Do you want?
Do you want? Do you want?

Do you want, to heal the heart
Of this broken man?

The Intriguer lyrics - Crowded House

A one, two, three, four...

I know, there's no need to find another cause to my complaint
Behind every fall is one that comes before
I create

And sometimes I think it's just bad luck to get this all mixed up
But then again I suspect that someone plays ahead
(You'll need them)
It's a game (Intriguer)

Mansion loves to watch
And after my mistakes
(You'll need them)
Here's a name
(The intriguer)

And, it's like she's taunting us
Seems worse, she's ignoring us
Next thing, the intriguer's running your life

She makes the conversation, stop this moment you arrive
And when you think it's in your head, she makes it comes alive
Impossible to concentrate when she's inside

You're never wrong
In the end I can't resist you
You always like
Twists and turns, I go with you
And you decide
To trip me up
Turn off the light
You're never armed, never armed
Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ho
Hey, yeah, ho, hey, hey, yeah, ho, whoo

Throw Your Arms Around Me lyrics - Crowded House

(originally by Hunters & Collectors)

I will come for you at nighttime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running along your street

I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
And we will never forget it
You will make me call your name

And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at nighttime
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet

So if you disappear out of view
You know I will never say goodbye
And though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name

And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me

Turn It Around lyrics - Crowded House

Make up the sound
A sense of disbelief
We can turn it 'round
Before we leave

Rescue the chords
The one that made us wise
Washed upon the shore
Came back to life

Beyond the star
Monument always frozen
We are alive
Ahhhh

Occupy the space
Sing for all the rules
Feel the spirit move
Start anew

The white begins to fade
Underneath it's blue
Violet from the deep
Immerses you

When you wanna feel alive
Or you wanna climb
Anyway, in my heart alive
Stay young

Blame it on the drugs
Make me what I was
Finally got the love
Blame it on the dogs
[?]
Is a welcome [?]

Two Minutes Of Silence lyrics - Crowded House

Well I still can't be sure if my brothers are dead
I was running up behind and now I'm come in to return

Well last night I prayed to my god, let me live
And he left me with a mission I will never forget

After the gods have me silenced on the hill
Billions of stars reflected on the ocean still
Like any other night

Like a shadow now I drifting and stumbling around
But I'd rather be standing than dead underground

They told me enemy was heartbreak, despair
It was an innocent time for it to damn, to damn

Every shell buried underneath the hill
Billions of stars reflecting on the ocean still
Like any other night

(Any other night, any other night)
Any other night dreaming of the silence
There's nothing we can't talk about
Knowing of a soldier

I saw the light
Come off, bouquet
We live to fight
Another day
Another day
