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
