There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Just to see the look that's on your face
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you 'til the day I die
I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Oh, here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax
I'm talking to myself you're coming with me
Teaching you how to distort the facts
Sometimes I can't be straight, I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you 'til the day I die
I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Frost on the window pane
The sound of pouring rain
All makes me glad of you
When I am far away
I am always with you
Know the answer before you know the question, yeah
Pull yourself together, baby, push with all your might
I'm alone, always alone
Though I am far away
I am always with you
Something So Strong lyrics - Crowded House
Love can make you weep
Can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep
Bring life to frozen ground
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
Turning in my sleep
Love can leave you cold
A taste of jealousy
Is like a lust for gold
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
I've been
Feeling so much older
Frame me
And hang me on the wall
I've seen
You fall into the same trap
This thing
Is happening to us all
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
Something so strong....
Can make you run for cover
Roots that spread so deep
Bring life to frozen ground
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
Turning in my sleep
Love can leave you cold
A taste of jealousy
Is like a lust for gold
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
I've been
Feeling so much older
Frame me
And hang me on the wall
I've seen
You fall into the same trap
This thing
Is happening to us all
Something so strong
Could carry us away
Something so strong
Could carry us today
Something so strong....
Hole In The River lyrics - Crowded House
There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
Left her car by the river left her shoes beside
Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was...
Dreaming of glory
Miles above the mountains and plains
Free at last
We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I
The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return
There's a hole in the river where a memory lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind,
Drove her down to the river
There is no return
From the land of the living to the air and sky
Left her car by the river left her shoes beside
Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was...
Dreaming of glory
Miles above the mountains and plains
Free at last
We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I
The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return
There's a hole in the river where a memory lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind,
Drove her down to the river
There is no return
Can't Carry On lyrics - Crowded House
Why do I kid myself
Why do I scream for pleasure
It's four in the morning should know better
But she can weave a spell
Want it to last forever
Making me feel like somebody special
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again
Though I look everywhere
I never seem to find it
Always a shadow around a corner
Drown it in alcohol
Stuck in the elevator
Hard to remember in the morning
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again
Tell you about myself
If you're in the mood to listen
Baby you don't know who you're kissing
This is a lonely world
You are a strange companion
When you get what you wanted
You want to leave
Honestly I want to free myself
From the burden of inaction
Honestly I want to raise myself
To any plane I can imagine
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again
Why do I scream for pleasure
It's four in the morning should know better
But she can weave a spell
Want it to last forever
Making me feel like somebody special
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again
Though I look everywhere
I never seem to find it
Always a shadow around a corner
Drown it in alcohol
Stuck in the elevator
Hard to remember in the morning
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again
Tell you about myself
If you're in the mood to listen
Baby you don't know who you're kissing
This is a lonely world
You are a strange companion
When you get what you wanted
You want to leave
Honestly I want to free myself
From the burden of inaction
Honestly I want to raise myself
To any plane I can imagine
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
Doing damage to my brain
Well here we go again
I Walk Away lyrics - Crowded House
You came
Out of this world to me
My life
Parted like the Red Sea
We flowed
Easy between the rocks and stones
Never seemed to stop us
The years
Ended in confusion
Don't ask me I don't know what happened
But I am
A man with a mission
Must be the devil I don't know
It's hard to let go
Of all that we know
As I walk away from you
Hurled from my home
Into the unknown
As I walk away from you
Reveal whatever you desire
To you it may be death defying
Black day
In the coldness of winter
Black words
Slipping off my tongue
I say forget it - it's over
As a dark cloud covered up the sun
It's hard to let go
Of all that we know
As I walk away from you
The sun always sets
With room for regrets
As I walk away from you
Give it to me
Give it to me
Your inspiration
Give to receive
Find all we need
As I walk away
Just a slave to ambition
Tension your permanent condition
So much you've always wanted
Too much given' you a sore head
Out of this world to me
My life
Parted like the Red Sea
We flowed
Easy between the rocks and stones
Never seemed to stop us
The years
Ended in confusion
Don't ask me I don't know what happened
But I am
A man with a mission
Must be the devil I don't know
It's hard to let go
Of all that we know
As I walk away from you
Hurled from my home
Into the unknown
As I walk away from you
Reveal whatever you desire
To you it may be death defying
Black day
In the coldness of winter
Black words
Slipping off my tongue
I say forget it - it's over
As a dark cloud covered up the sun
It's hard to let go
Of all that we know
As I walk away from you
The sun always sets
With room for regrets
As I walk away from you
Give it to me
Give it to me
Your inspiration
Give to receive
Find all we need
As I walk away
Just a slave to ambition
Tension your permanent condition
So much you've always wanted
Too much given' you a sore head
Tombstone lyrics - Crowded House
Look at all the plans I made
Falling down like scraps of paper
I will leave them where they lie to remind me
From the past a rumour comes
Don't let it keep draggin' you down
Throw the memory in an open fire
You'll be free
Roll back the tombstone
Let the saints appear
Roll back the tombstone
Make a new man out of me
Beware the passenger
The train already left the station
We are neither at home nor at work
We are moving
Listen to the howling of steel
A face betraying no emotion
Like you never had a chance to be
Wild and free
Roll back the tombstone
Let the saints appear
Roll back the tombstone
Till the Lone Ranger rides again
Rides again in your mind
Rode across the open plain
All the way
and back again
Falling down like scraps of paper
I will leave them where they lie to remind me
From the past a rumour comes
Don't let it keep draggin' you down
Throw the memory in an open fire
You'll be free
Roll back the tombstone
Let the saints appear
Roll back the tombstone
Make a new man out of me
Beware the passenger
The train already left the station
We are neither at home nor at work
We are moving
Listen to the howling of steel
A face betraying no emotion
Like you never had a chance to be
Wild and free
Roll back the tombstone
Let the saints appear
Roll back the tombstone
Till the Lone Ranger rides again
Rides again in your mind
Rode across the open plain
All the way
and back again
That's What I Call Love lyrics - Crowded House
You take away my air
You make my lungs collapse
I die tonight
Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Livin' in your memory
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Love
I tidy up your room
You tidy up my life
Show me the door
I'm abandoned here
I'm warm to the core
I can feel
You sink I swim
We never got in that deep
You bend I break
I die tonight
Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Hangin' on and falling over
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Love
I got a little room
The air's still pretty bad
I die tonight
Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Hanging on and falling over
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Feeling devastated
That's
Living with a vacuum cleaner
What
Sweepin' up your memory
I call love
You make my lungs collapse
I die tonight
Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Livin' in your memory
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Love
I tidy up your room
You tidy up my life
Show me the door
I'm abandoned here
I'm warm to the core
I can feel
You sink I swim
We never got in that deep
You bend I break
I die tonight
Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Hangin' on and falling over
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Love
I got a little room
The air's still pretty bad
I die tonight
Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Hanging on and falling over
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Feeling devastated
That's
Living with a vacuum cleaner
What
Sweepin' up your memory
I call love
Everything Is Good For You lyrics - Crowded House
I see a man with a flag
And he leads the procession
And a woman shedding tears
For a man locked in prison
Yeah...
Then the two locked eyes
And for a moment I was taken
And all paths lead
To a single conclusion
Yeah...
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
One man's ending
Is another man's beginning
Everything is good for you
It's a nightmare talking
To a restless ocean
With a reckless calm
To state their position
Oh...
But if you come undone
It might just set you free
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
One man's ending
Is another man's beginning
Bring back your head
Here comes trouble
To turn me and be well
Cover your heart
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
Is good for you
And he leads the procession
And a woman shedding tears
For a man locked in prison
Yeah...
Then the two locked eyes
And for a moment I was taken
And all paths lead
To a single conclusion
Yeah...
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
One man's ending
Is another man's beginning
Everything is good for you
It's a nightmare talking
To a restless ocean
With a reckless calm
To state their position
Oh...
But if you come undone
It might just set you free
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
One man's ending
Is another man's beginning
Bring back your head
Here comes trouble
To turn me and be well
Cover your heart
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
If it doesn't kill you
Everything is good for you
Is good for you
Instinct lyrics - Crowded House
I lit the match
I lit the match
I saw another monster turn to ash
felt the burden lifted from my back
do you recognize the nervous twitch
that exposes the weakness of the myth
when your turn comes 'round
and the light goes on
and you feel your attraction again
your instinct can't be wrong
separate the fiction from the fact
Been a little slow to react
but it's nearly time to flip the switch
and I'm hanging by a single stitch
laughing at the stony face of gloom
when your turn comes 'round
and the light goes on
and you feel your attraction again
your instinct can't be wrong
feelings come and go
where the true present lies are
calling down
laughing at the stony face of gloom
when your turn comes 'round
and the days get long
and you feel your attraction to him
your instinct can't be wrong
calling down
I lit the match
I saw another monster turn to ash
felt the burden lifted from my back
do you recognize the nervous twitch
that exposes the weakness of the myth
when your turn comes 'round
and the light goes on
and you feel your attraction again
your instinct can't be wrong
separate the fiction from the fact
Been a little slow to react
but it's nearly time to flip the switch
and I'm hanging by a single stitch
laughing at the stony face of gloom
when your turn comes 'round
and the light goes on
and you feel your attraction again
your instinct can't be wrong
feelings come and go
where the true present lies are
calling down
laughing at the stony face of gloom
when your turn comes 'round
and the days get long
and you feel your attraction to him
your instinct can't be wrong
calling down
Not The Girl You Think You Are lyrics - Crowded House
You're not the girl you think you are
they're not his shoes under your bed
he'll take you places in his car
that you won't forget (no)
And all the people that you know
will turn their heads as you go by
but you'll be hard to recognize
with the top down and the wind blowing, blowing
He won't deceive you or tell you the truth
woman, he'll be no trouble
he won't write you letters
full of excuses
come on, believe you have one in a million
You're not the girl you think you are
someone's standing in your place
the bathroom mirror makes you look tall
but it's all in your head, in your head
He won't deceive you or tell you the truth
woman, he'll be no trouble
he won't write you letters
full of excuses
come on, believe you have one in a million
He won't deceive you or tell you the truth
come on, believe you have won
you're not the girl you think you are
believe you have won
you're not the girl you think you are
believe you have won
you're not the girl you think you are
they're not his shoes under your bed
he'll take you places in his car
that you won't forget (no)
And all the people that you know
will turn their heads as you go by
but you'll be hard to recognize
with the top down and the wind blowing, blowing
He won't deceive you or tell you the truth
woman, he'll be no trouble
he won't write you letters
full of excuses
come on, believe you have one in a million
You're not the girl you think you are
someone's standing in your place
the bathroom mirror makes you look tall
but it's all in your head, in your head
He won't deceive you or tell you the truth
woman, he'll be no trouble
he won't write you letters
full of excuses
come on, believe you have one in a million
He won't deceive you or tell you the truth
come on, believe you have won
you're not the girl you think you are
believe you have won
you're not the girl you think you are
believe you have won
you're not the girl you think you are
