Saturday Sun lyrics - Crowded House
It's a Saturday sun
And the game is still on
And the waiting is done
It's all about you
As it calls out your name
On a hill far away
He's looking down from above
It's all about to change
He's insane, calling on the day
'Til the clouds get blown away
Where inside his mind
Lie all of space and time
And the farthest worlds unite
It's a Saturday sun
And the madness is won
And the night has been sung
Out of existence
And my head is alright
Was the darkest of nights
And the cadmium sun
Calling on the day
Till the clouds get blown away
There's a night inside his mind
Lie all of space and time
He's been waiting for a sign
Looking for the revelation, maybe
Or visions of the underworld
But when you saw the first light
Then you know it's alright
It's a Saturday sun
And the madness is won
And the nightmare is done
And in time he waits
Colors up the sky
Make the darkness come to life
Memories inside his heart
Of everything he wants to know
Of every place he has to go
Yeah
And the game is still on
And the waiting is done
It's all about you
As it calls out your name
On a hill far away
He's looking down from above
It's all about to change
He's insane, calling on the day
'Til the clouds get blown away
Where inside his mind
Lie all of space and time
And the farthest worlds unite
It's a Saturday sun
And the madness is won
And the night has been sung
Out of existence
And my head is alright
Was the darkest of nights
And the cadmium sun
Calling on the day
Till the clouds get blown away
There's a night inside his mind
Lie all of space and time
He's been waiting for a sign
Looking for the revelation, maybe
Or visions of the underworld
But when you saw the first light
Then you know it's alright
It's a Saturday sun
And the madness is won
And the nightmare is done
And in time he waits
Colors up the sky
Make the darkness come to life
Memories inside his heart
Of everything he wants to know
Of every place he has to go
Yeah
Archer's Arrows lyrics - Crowded House
Kids kissing on the floor
They make a work of art
Up on the gallery wall
They take the world apart
And no one’s safe
The tension on the string
We’re almost there
It’s time to reign over the king
The archer fires away (Send an arrow up)
We hope to rise again (Like an invitation)
Aim high
Then the arrow comes down
Take out
The pale imitation
The whole façade is wearing thin
We'll just paper over cracks
‘Til people take the power back
Moving out the cavalcade
We live to fight another day
See the arrows fly
They tempt you with a prize
Make you master of the house
You look so indifferent now
With the sucker hanging from your mouth
But you can’t be safe
You can’t betray your will
We’re almost gone
It’s time to take over the hill
The archer fires away (Send an arrow up)
We hope to rise again (Like an invitation)
Aim high
When the colours come down
Take out
The pale imitation
The whole façade is wearing thin
We just paper over cracks
‘Til people take the power back
Moving out the cavalcade
We live to fight another day
See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)
See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)
See the archer’s arrows fade (Soon find out if we make a mark)
See the archer’s arrows fade (Soon find out, leave an arrow in my heart)
See the archer’s arrows fade
See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)
They make a work of art
Up on the gallery wall
They take the world apart
And no one’s safe
The tension on the string
We’re almost there
It’s time to reign over the king
The archer fires away (Send an arrow up)
We hope to rise again (Like an invitation)
Aim high
Then the arrow comes down
Take out
The pale imitation
The whole façade is wearing thin
We'll just paper over cracks
‘Til people take the power back
Moving out the cavalcade
We live to fight another day
See the arrows fly
They tempt you with a prize
Make you master of the house
You look so indifferent now
With the sucker hanging from your mouth
But you can’t be safe
You can’t betray your will
We’re almost gone
It’s time to take over the hill
The archer fires away (Send an arrow up)
We hope to rise again (Like an invitation)
Aim high
When the colours come down
Take out
The pale imitation
The whole façade is wearing thin
We just paper over cracks
‘Til people take the power back
Moving out the cavalcade
We live to fight another day
See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)
See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)
See the archer’s arrows fade (Soon find out if we make a mark)
See the archer’s arrows fade (Soon find out, leave an arrow in my heart)
See the archer’s arrows fade
See the archer’s arrows fade (Hey, hey)
Amsterdam lyrics - Crowded House
You and me got the whole day off
Take a trip to Vincent Van Gogh
But the line went halfway round the block
And we're looking for a place to rest
Every seat in every bar was set
So we turned back to The Grand Hotel
And the rain came hard
A million people on a protest march
Every choice, every path was mistaken
You and me got the whole thing sussed
Gray man is shadowing us
Wild conspiracies turn to dust
Hear the sound of cathedral bells
Cash ringing at the gates of Hell
And fairground hooligans push and swell
They're the darkest days of a free man
Lying in the streets of Amsterdam
Nearly fell underneath the tram
But I picked myself up
Every temptation and device
All the diamonds and the spice
I would give anything for the sight
Of an honest man (Hey)
Eyes swim in emptiness
I was looking at a hotel guest
He blew me a big sarcastic kiss
And the Lord walked in
With a monocle and lips so thin
Saw the barman wink as he poured his brandy
They're the darkest days of a free man
Lying in the streets of Amsterdam
Nearly fell underneath the tram
But I picked myself up
Every temptation up in lights
all the diamonds and the spice
Could take profit from the vice
Of another man
Amsterdam
Cold, cold
Cold, cold
You belong
Take a trip to Vincent Van Gogh
But the line went halfway round the block
And we're looking for a place to rest
Every seat in every bar was set
So we turned back to The Grand Hotel
And the rain came hard
A million people on a protest march
Every choice, every path was mistaken
You and me got the whole thing sussed
Gray man is shadowing us
Wild conspiracies turn to dust
Hear the sound of cathedral bells
Cash ringing at the gates of Hell
And fairground hooligans push and swell
They're the darkest days of a free man
Lying in the streets of Amsterdam
Nearly fell underneath the tram
But I picked myself up
Every temptation and device
All the diamonds and the spice
I would give anything for the sight
Of an honest man (Hey)
Eyes swim in emptiness
I was looking at a hotel guest
He blew me a big sarcastic kiss
And the Lord walked in
With a monocle and lips so thin
Saw the barman wink as he poured his brandy
They're the darkest days of a free man
Lying in the streets of Amsterdam
Nearly fell underneath the tram
But I picked myself up
Every temptation up in lights
all the diamonds and the spice
Could take profit from the vice
Of another man
Amsterdam
Cold, cold
Cold, cold
You belong
Either Side Of The World lyrics - Crowded House
Either side of the world
Chase the sun
Pay the maximum rate
To feel so lonesome
Wrapped up like little lambs
Safe from harm
Enjoy it while you can
Happiness is far from home
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They’re happy to give you
The last resort
Where the famous have come
To be alone
Try to work it out
The same progression
Sometimes I try too hard
To overcome
Sometimes I think too much
Wish I could’ve held my tongue
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
You turn yourself into
And then you’re in Hell
Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
We like it different
Passion and commitment
Commitment
Wish I could’ve held my tongue
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They’re happy to give you
When you’re in hell
Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
We like it different
Passion and commitment
Chase the sun
Pay the maximum rate
To feel so lonesome
Wrapped up like little lambs
Safe from harm
Enjoy it while you can
Happiness is far from home
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They’re happy to give you
The last resort
Where the famous have come
To be alone
Try to work it out
The same progression
Sometimes I try too hard
To overcome
Sometimes I think too much
Wish I could’ve held my tongue
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
You turn yourself into
And then you’re in Hell
Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
We like it different
Passion and commitment
Commitment
Wish I could’ve held my tongue
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They’re happy to give you
When you’re in hell
Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
We like it different
Passion and commitment
Falling Dove lyrics - Crowded House
All his life
Blown by wildfire
Like a spark
Cause and effect
One loose word
Revolution
One kind act
Whole armies give thanks
Falling dove
Born of ocean
Found by man
Lived on his own
Lift a sail
Tighten the knots
Lift him up
Barely breathing
Falling dove
Do you believe in us
Like I believe in us
Is the outcome ever
Strange enough
You keep defending me
When I’m behaving badly
‘Cause you love me
‘Cause you love me too much
May the best of fortune bless you
Could any creature be unmoved
The humble nature of redemption
The simple act of finding a use
Hoping and almost praying
Believing for a moment it’s true
I make a rendezvous
In Moscow station
A midnight passenger
The café is closed
In St. Petersburg
The door slides open
And I’m a dead man
‘Til I see her walk through
Falling dove
Blown by wildfire
Like a spark
Cause and effect
One loose word
Revolution
One kind act
Whole armies give thanks
Falling dove
Born of ocean
Found by man
Lived on his own
Lift a sail
Tighten the knots
Lift him up
Barely breathing
Falling dove
Do you believe in us
Like I believe in us
Is the outcome ever
Strange enough
You keep defending me
When I’m behaving badly
‘Cause you love me
‘Cause you love me too much
May the best of fortune bless you
Could any creature be unmoved
The humble nature of redemption
The simple act of finding a use
Hoping and almost praying
Believing for a moment it’s true
I make a rendezvous
In Moscow station
A midnight passenger
The café is closed
In St. Petersburg
The door slides open
And I’m a dead man
‘Til I see her walk through
Falling dove
Isolation lyrics - Crowded House
You arrive
Like a dragonfly
Float above the grass
Trembling still
Think you might
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Someday you will
Yes, there’s always a way
Yes, there’s always a way
To end this isolation
When you rise
Like the Milky Way
On a luminous night
The epic unknown
Though I try
Try to find a sign
Of another life
I am alone
There’s always a way
Yes, there’s always a way
To end this isolation
One step away from everyone
If you could open it up
You could connect it to us
One step is more than enough
To get a look in
You could be already gone
I wish you would take me along
To end this isolation
To end this isolation
I try so hard to get it right
Look for something in your eyes
And I see it
But you won’t let yourself feel it
I wait for you to make a sign
Let the door open in your eyes
And I believe it
That one day you’ll step inside
Like a dragonfly
Float above the grass
Trembling still
Think you might
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Someday you will
Yes, there’s always a way
Yes, there’s always a way
To end this isolation
When you rise
Like the Milky Way
On a luminous night
The epic unknown
Though I try
Try to find a sign
Of another life
I am alone
There’s always a way
Yes, there’s always a way
To end this isolation
One step away from everyone
If you could open it up
You could connect it to us
One step is more than enough
To get a look in
You could be already gone
I wish you would take me along
To end this isolation
To end this isolation
I try so hard to get it right
Look for something in your eyes
And I see it
But you won’t let yourself feel it
I wait for you to make a sign
Let the door open in your eyes
And I believe it
That one day you’ll step inside
Twice If You're Lucky lyrics - Crowded House
Breathe it out
I can hear you now
You think reality’s shut you down
And you’re locked away
Where you can’t get out
Spent awhile on your back
But you know what it means to me, babe
In the course of a history, hey
It all makes sense to me somehow
And it’s not what it used to be, no
We’re suddenly free to let go
And look what’s happening now
You will love this one
You will love this one
As if we create something magical, honey
There are times that come
These are times that come
Only once in your life
Or twice like mine
Do you wish to love
Can you give enough
Use your saving graces
In the heavy light
'Til the sky falls down
He can pray all he likes
But you know what it means to me, babe
In the course of a history, hey
It all makes sense to me somehow
It’s a course in philosophy, yeah
What is life is it just a dream, no
The perfect mystery but somehow I know
You will love this one
You will love this one
And if we create something magical, honey
There are times that come
These are times that come
Only once in your life
Or twice if you’re lucky
And if the chance it comes around
Another time
You risk it all, you take the fall
For what you like
And sure enough before your love
Has taken flight
You make the revelation
You will love this one (Love this one)
You will love this one
You will love this one
Dream in my head
Something magical, honey
There are times that come
These are times that come
Only once in your life
Or twice if you’re lucky
I can hear you now
You think reality’s shut you down
And you’re locked away
Where you can’t get out
Spent awhile on your back
But you know what it means to me, babe
In the course of a history, hey
It all makes sense to me somehow
And it’s not what it used to be, no
We’re suddenly free to let go
And look what’s happening now
You will love this one
You will love this one
As if we create something magical, honey
There are times that come
These are times that come
Only once in your life
Or twice like mine
Do you wish to love
Can you give enough
Use your saving graces
In the heavy light
'Til the sky falls down
He can pray all he likes
But you know what it means to me, babe
In the course of a history, hey
It all makes sense to me somehow
It’s a course in philosophy, yeah
What is life is it just a dream, no

You will love this one (Love this one)
You will love this one
You will love this one
Dream in my head
Something magical, honey
There are times that come
These are times that come
Only once in your life

Inside Out lyrics - Crowded House
(Inside out) You know me oh so well
(Inside out) You know me back to front
(Inside out) You know exactly what I’m gonna do next
I’m gonna take you to a higher place
The rain collecting in a secret place
And I ache for all your suffering
(Inside out) I don’t reveal it all
(Inside out) I’m putting up this wall
(Inside out) For all the people of the cockatoo set
The extrovert is always in your face
Unaware he’s invading
your personal space
Take him out, the impostor
Put a monkey in his place
Circle round the hazy sun
The hazy sun is circling the house
Spin off the chandeliers
And who's the one whose staring at me now
You move me into silence
It's a heartbeat away from Hell
And I try so hard to control myself
Always smiling on the inside out
(Inside out)
(Inside out)
(Inside out)
You move me into silence
You move me into silence
You move me into silence
You move me into silence
(Inside out) You know me back to front
(Inside out) You know exactly what I’m gonna do next
I’m gonna take you to a higher place
The rain collecting in a secret place
And I ache for all your suffering
(Inside out) I don’t reveal it all
(Inside out) I’m putting up this wall
(Inside out) For all the people of the cockatoo set
The extrovert is always in your face
Unaware he’s invading
your personal space
Take him out, the impostor
Put a monkey in his place
Circle round the hazy sun
The hazy sun is circling the house
Spin off the chandeliers
And who's the one whose staring at me now
You move me into silence
It's a heartbeat away from Hell
And I try so hard to control myself
Always smiling on the inside out
(Inside out)
(Inside out)
(Inside out)
You move me into silence
You move me into silence
You move me into silence
You move me into silence
Even If lyrics - Crowded House
Even though I know you’re wrong
I can never win
Disappointment I must bear
Underneath my grin
In the darkness from the stage
The sting in my tail
Horizons rise and fall
Shadows grow so pale
Creatures that come out to play
Go home to stay the night
Things I got so worried about
Are working out just fine
I don’t remember and in the end
It’s useless to dwell
And nothing good is true unless
You find out for yourself
Old men, be warned
He can’t be helped
Like those who went before
He can’t be helped
It’s not your fault
It can’t be helped
Young men
Their imagination knows no bounds
As far as I can see
There’s a love that can’t be found
Until you let it free
In the spotlight on the stage
The sting in my tail
Horizons that rise and fall
And shadows grow so pale
Old men, be warned
He can’t be helped
All those who went before
He can’t be helped
It’s not your fault
It can’t be helped
Old men
But even though I know you’re wrong
I can never win
Everyone’s son thinks he’s the best
They make it all up again
I can never win
Disappointment I must bear
Underneath my grin
In the darkness from the stage
The sting in my tail
Horizons rise and fall
Shadows grow so pale
Creatures that come out to play
Go home to stay the night
Things I got so worried about
Are working out just fine
I don’t remember and in the end
It’s useless to dwell
And nothing good is true unless
You find out for yourself
Old men, be warned
He can’t be helped
Like those who went before
He can’t be helped
It’s not your fault
It can’t be helped
Young men
Their imagination knows no bounds
As far as I can see
There’s a love that can’t be found
Until you let it free
In the spotlight on the stage
The sting in my tail
Horizons that rise and fall
And shadows grow so pale
Old men, be warned
He can’t be helped
All those who went before
He can’t be helped
It’s not your fault
It can’t be helped
Old men
But even though I know you’re wrong
I can never win
Everyone’s son thinks he’s the best
They make it all up again
Elephants lyrics - Crowded House
It's the closing hour
I don't want to go
But I could stay afloat
In your eyes
I've seen the rocks
Where everyone gets lost
I won't stray across
The white line
Let's admit the world don't turn around us
It's acting like we don't exist
A drunk that's sleeping in the corner
Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
When elephants come down
To the water hole at dusk
They feel the same as us about life
We all take a drink
The sun begins to sink
The alligator waits for his time
Let's admit the world don't turn around us
It's acting like we don't exist
A drunk that's sleeping in the corner
Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
You don't have to say a word
You don't have to say a word
I hear what you're thinking
You don't have to say a word
You don't have to say a word
I know what you're thinking
I know there's no use
So lost and discontent
I'm looking for a friend I can trust
For all my intent
It hasn't happened yet
So now I come to you for insight
Let's admit the world don't care about us
It's acting like we don't exist
Drunk and sleeping in the corner
Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
I don't want to go
But I could stay afloat
In your eyes
I've seen the rocks
Where everyone gets lost
I won't stray across
The white line
Let's admit the world don't turn around us
It's acting like we don't exist
A drunk that's sleeping in the corner
Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
When elephants come down
To the water hole at dusk
They feel the same as us about life
We all take a drink
The sun begins to sink
The alligator waits for his time
Let's admit the world don't turn around us
It's acting like we don't exist
A drunk that's sleeping in the corner
Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
You don't have to say a word
You don't have to say a word
I hear what you're thinking
You don't have to say a word
You don't have to say a word
I know what you're thinking
I know there's no use
So lost and discontent
I'm looking for a friend I can trust
For all my intent
It hasn't happened yet
So now I come to you for insight
Let's admit the world don't care about us
It's acting like we don't exist
Drunk and sleeping in the corner
Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
Sweet dreams, make waves, find bliss
Nobody Wants To lyrics - Crowded House
Down on the ocean floor
That's where I'm heading for
Hold on to a sinking stone
Until the worst is known.
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Nobody Protects you
They make it go away
Pretending that it's all ok
Broken pieces on the ground
And everyones tip-toeing round
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
No-one Protects you
Yeah
Are we losing something
We used to cry
We used to say why
For all I know
I might not get home
But I found out
If we open it up
We could work this out
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Now
What you suspected all along
Everything he told you was wrong
And you can see it if you want
But nobody wants to
That's where I'm heading for
Hold on to a sinking stone
Until the worst is known.
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Nobody Protects you
They make it go away
Pretending that it's all ok
Broken pieces on the ground
And everyones tip-toeing round
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
No-one Protects you
Yeah
Are we losing something
We used to cry
We used to say why
For all I know
I might not get home
But I found out
If we open it up
We could work this out
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Now
What you suspected all along
Everything he told you was wrong
And you can see it if you want
But nobody wants to
Don't Stop Now lyrics - Crowded House
Another pleasant day in the countryside
Ended up in tears on a stormy night
'Cause you can't follow my directions home
Don't stop now
God knows where the satellite's taking us
Can't tell what is right in front of us
But I hang on every word
Don't stop now
No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about
Get fooled by the lightning every time
See the after image of my outline
Then you turn the wrong way ‘round
Well, don't stop now
No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about
Give me something I can cry about
In a church house ten miles out of town
Is the devil gonna track me down
When you travel through a tunnel in the trees
Just remember that's how you get to me
There's no number on the house
The birds are heading south
Sometimes you have to turn
The wrong way ‘round
Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now
Restless, hopeful, in silence I wait
With a blank piece of paper on the top of my head
And all I want is something I can write about
All I want is something I can cry about
Ended up in tears on a stormy night
'Cause you can't follow my directions home
Don't stop now
God knows where the satellite's taking us
Can't tell what is right in front of us
But I hang on every word
Don't stop now
No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about
Get fooled by the lightning every time
See the after image of my outline
Then you turn the wrong way ‘round
Well, don't stop now
No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about
Give me something I can cry about
In a church house ten miles out of town
Is the devil gonna track me down
When you travel through a tunnel in the trees
Just remember that's how you get to me
There's no number on the house
The birds are heading south
Sometimes you have to turn
The wrong way ‘round
Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now
Restless, hopeful, in silence I wait
With a blank piece of paper on the top of my head
And all I want is something I can write about
All I want is something I can cry about
She Called Up lyrics - Crowded House
She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
A whisper that can blow a chasm wide
It took us all
It took us all
Pushed apart the mountains and the tide
It took us all
She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
I was so lost
In delirious sleep
Wasn't prepared for that position
Yeah maybe I was naive
But truth is a mortal blow
You know all there is to know
The hurt that you held so close
There's something better now
And she called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
For what you gave to me
She called up
She called up
She called up
And gave me the news
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
A whisper that can blow a chasm wide
It took us all
It took us all
Pushed apart the mountains and the tide
It took us all
She called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
I was so lost
In delirious sleep
Wasn't prepared for that position
Yeah maybe I was naive
But truth is a mortal blow
You know all there is to know
The hurt that you held so close
There's something better now
And she called up
And gave me the news
It made me so sad, sad, sad
There was nothing I could do
She's too far away
And you had to leave
I can never repay you now
For what you gave to me
For what you gave to me
She called up
She called up
She called up
And gave me the news
Say That Again lyrics - Crowded House
Say that again
I won't forget
The phrase that turned in my head
And at the start
It makes no sense
A long time left to understand
There on the shore
The girl that I adore
She combs her hair on the sand
And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got break the rules
I think too much
The alphabet
They dance a pirhoutte in my head
A chance remark
Becomes the spark
And maybe luck has come again
The hint of a smile
The accidental rhyme
That captured me the first time
And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got make the rules
Midnight is standing in the shadows
This haunting is a reckless escape
Late nights of crawling on the sidewalk
Lets stay on in the mansion for the weekend
Lets go on making moments last a lifetime
We live on in the promises we keep
The hint of a smile
The accidental rhyme
That captured me the first time
And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got break the rules
And I know
you got to be your own man
you got to make your own rules
Go on making moments last a lifetime
We live on in the company we keep
Lets go on
I won't forget
The phrase that turned in my head
And at the start
It makes no sense
A long time left to understand
There on the shore
The girl that I adore
She combs her hair on the sand
And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got break the rules
I think too much
The alphabet
They dance a pirhoutte in my head
A chance remark
Becomes the spark
And maybe luck has come again
The hint of a smile
The accidental rhyme
That captured me the first time
And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got make the rules
Midnight is standing in the shadows
This haunting is a reckless escape
Late nights of crawling on the sidewalk
Lets stay on in the mansion for the weekend
Lets go on making moments last a lifetime
We live on in the promises we keep
The hint of a smile
The accidental rhyme
That captured me the first time
And I know
You got to fight the plan
You got to bend the rules
Yeah I know
You got be your own man
You got break the rules
And I know
you got to be your own man
you got to make your own rules
Go on making moments last a lifetime
We live on in the company we keep
Lets go on
Pour Le Monde lyrics - Crowded House
He imagines the world
As the angel ascending
Like the ghost of a man
Who is tied up to the chair
And he tries to believe
That his life has a meaning
With his hand on his heart
Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre
And I wake up blind
Like my dreams were too bright
And I lost my regard
For the good things that I had
And the radio was sad
When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
‘Cos the liars have moved in
And they believe their own
Dark medicine
They act so nonchalant
But he is not a dog
Perform for you in the stadium
For the world, not for the war
And he won't hesitate
Though it might lead to heartache
In the night club indigo
For the world, not for the war
Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre
When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
'Cos the liars have moved in
And they brew their own
Dark medicine
Believing it's good
Behind their jaded eyes,
A dilemma
He's the best
You ever had
He's so low
You'll never know
As the angel ascending
Like the ghost of a man
Who is tied up to the chair
And he tries to believe
That his life has a meaning
With his hand on his heart
Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre
And I wake up blind
Like my dreams were too bright
And I lost my regard
For the good things that I had
And the radio was sad
When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
‘Cos the liars have moved in
And they believe their own
Dark medicine
They act so nonchalant
But he is not a dog
Perform for you in the stadium
For the world, not for the war
And he won't hesitate
Though it might lead to heartache
In the night club indigo
For the world, not for the war
Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre
When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
'Cos the liars have moved in
And they brew their own
Dark medicine
Believing it's good
Behind their jaded eyes,
A dilemma
He's the best
You ever had
He's so low
You'll never know
Even A Child lyrics - Crowded House
I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
So where do I begin
To help you believe again
Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
Dream of a holy state
In a nightmare time
You know I meant it well
But who was it meant to help?
Even a child knows you don't waste it
A promise is only given once
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Even a child knows that you can't fake it
As long as the world is waking up
You are free now to recover your heart
The stories left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
I'll do everything I can
And it's a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone that you don't care
But I don't believe the message
And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?
Even a child knows you don't waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Even a child knows you don't fake it
A promise is only given once
You are free now to go wherever you want
There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town
Music is a call to prayer
Wailing out of the speakers in the market place
The first time
Even a child
Even a child knows you don't waste it
A present can always be delivered twice
You are free now to receive the gift of insight
From now on (lets be open)
All in time (lets breathe in)
Am I brave (you're so brave)
Am I afraid (no not afraid)
Even a child
I want to keep your hopes alive
So where do I begin
To help you believe again
Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
Dream of a holy state
In a nightmare time
You know I meant it well
But who was it meant to help?
Even a child knows you don't waste it
A promise is only given once
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Even a child knows that you can't fake it
As long as the world is waking up
You are free now to recover your heart
The stories left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
I'll do everything I can
And it's a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone that you don't care
But I don't believe the message
And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?
Even a child knows you don't waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Even a child knows you don't fake it
A promise is only given once
You are free now to go wherever you want
There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town
Music is a call to prayer
Wailing out of the speakers in the market place
The first time
Even a child
Even a child knows you don't waste it
A present can always be delivered twice
You are free now to receive the gift of insight
From now on (lets be open)
All in time (lets breathe in)
Am I brave (you're so brave)
Am I afraid (no not afraid)
Even a child
Heaven That I'm Making lyrics - Crowded House
Plead with my saint
Wash his hands and feet
Find his complaints
Make this world complete
And this heaven that I'm making
Can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
It feels like I'm just waking up
Mind out, don't think
I can't get used to it
Right on the brink
I end up losing it
And this heaven that I'm making
It can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
It feels like I'm just waking up
And I'll be there
If all of creation is kind
And each conversation I hear
As I'm walking in through the crowd
As if I can float through the air
And this heaven
Well, this heaven that I'm making
It can't come quickly enough
And this big boat that I'm taking
Can't come by quickly enough
If there is hell on Earth
There must be heaven, too
Both in one place
And not a second to lose
Wash his hands and feet
Find his complaints
Make this world complete
And this heaven that I'm making
Can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
It feels like I'm just waking up
Mind out, don't think
I can't get used to it
Right on the brink
I end up losing it
And this heaven that I'm making
It can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
It feels like I'm just waking up
And I'll be there
If all of creation is kind
And each conversation I hear
As I'm walking in through the crowd
As if I can float through the air
And this heaven
Well, this heaven that I'm making
It can't come quickly enough
And this big boat that I'm taking
Can't come by quickly enough
If there is hell on Earth
There must be heaven, too
Both in one place
And not a second to lose
A Sigh lyrics - Crowded House
A sigh
From the deepest well
You can tell a lot
By not saying a thing
This truth
Between us, my friend
This longing
A sigh
For loneliness to end
No changing
The story now
A sigh
From the emptiest part
It's a tender place
A sigh
Is more than I can bare
This show is not fooling anyone
But it's all for you
But I think your mind is made up
From the deepest well
You can tell a lot
By not saying a thing
This truth
Between us, my friend
This longing
A sigh
For loneliness to end
No changing
The story now
A sigh
From the emptiest part
It's a tender place
A sigh
Is more than I can bare
This show is not fooling anyone
But it's all for you
But I think your mind is made up
Silent House lyrics - Crowded House
These walls have eyes
Rows of photographs
With faces like mine
Who do we become
Without knowing where we started from
It's true
I'm missing you
And I stand alone
Inside your room
Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
They filled up this silent house
One room
Two beds
In the closet hangs your favorite dress
Good books that you read
Are in pieces now
The pages are shredded
Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
That filled up this silent house
Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
All the names that you can't recall
I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
That filled up this silent house
Rows of photographs
With faces like mine
Who do we become
Without knowing where we started from
It's true
I'm missing you
And I stand alone
Inside your room
Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
They filled up this silent house
One room
Two beds
In the closet hangs your favorite dress
Good books that you read
Are in pieces now
The pages are shredded
Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
That filled up this silent house
Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
All the names that you can't recall
I will try to connect
All the pieces you've left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
I'll remember the years
When your mind was still clear
All the flickering lights
That filled up this silent house
English Trees lyrics - Crowded House
English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grow
They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time in the fallen snow
Up against the sky made a silhouette show
England cries and she plays for him
Her chords entwined like a requiem
And though it's springtime and color is new
In Regent's Park I will mourn for you
And I must be wise somehow
'Cause my heart's been broken down
It's so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing sadder I know
Than the passing of time
You won't forget me
You won't forget me
Like english trees in my garden
Summer's missed you my darling
All your crimes are forgiven
All your crimes are forgiven
And I must be wise somehow
(You won't forget me)
(You won't forget me)
And England cries
There's English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grow
They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time in the fallen snow
Up against the sky made a silhouette show
England cries and she plays for him
Her chords entwined like a requiem
And though it's springtime and color is new
In Regent's Park I will mourn for you
And I must be wise somehow
'Cause my heart's been broken down
It's so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing sadder I know
Than the passing of time
You won't forget me
You won't forget me
Like english trees in my garden
Summer's missed you my darling
All your crimes are forgiven
All your crimes are forgiven
And I must be wise somehow
(You won't forget me)
(You won't forget me)
And England cries
There's English trees in my garden
Walked Her Way Down lyrics - Crowded House
She walked her way down
It brought my mind back
From where I was trapped
How long will it take
For tension to break
Feel it sliding off
Shimmy-like cloth
I left on the ground
And I know what the answer is
And I'm happy to be here tonight
But when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
But before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
And the drummer's counting out the start
She walked her way down
In silver and black
Tension is snapped
I picked up the trace
A scent I can't place
Remembering desire
Higher and high
Lift off the ground
And I know what the answer is
But I'm happy to be here tonight
And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
From before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
The drummer makes the same mistake
And my eyes are on the shape
That is captured in the light
All went quiet on the floor
When she walked her way down
As we happen to be here tonight
But don't we make a beautiful sight
And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
But before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
If you're tamed by all the pressure
Everything you want to become
The drummer always comes in late
And my eyes are on the shake
That is captured in the light
And I want to feel the weightless grasp
Upon my heavy life
It brought my mind back
From where I was trapped
How long will it take
For tension to break
Feel it sliding off
Shimmy-like cloth
I left on the ground
And I know what the answer is
And I'm happy to be here tonight
But when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
But before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
And the drummer's counting out the start
She walked her way down
In silver and black
Tension is snapped
I picked up the trace
A scent I can't place
Remembering desire
Higher and high
Lift off the ground
And I know what the answer is
But I'm happy to be here tonight
And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
From before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
The drummer makes the same mistake
And my eyes are on the shape
That is captured in the light
All went quiet on the floor
When she walked her way down
As we happen to be here tonight
But don't we make a beautiful sight
And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
But before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
If you're tamed by all the pressure
Everything you want to become
The drummer always comes in late
And my eyes are on the shake
That is captured in the light
And I want to feel the weightless grasp
Upon my heavy life
Transit Lounge lyrics - Crowded House
Talk to her, that's right
It could mean more than you think
Talk to her, that's right
And you don't have to lose a thing
Leave the boots and saddle outside
You could make her happy again
Laugh about the time
She threw the dinner at you
And in the coconut grove
You can imagine the scene
Another bus unloads
We're still waiting to leave
Talk to her, that's nice
Or you could make a murder begin
Breathe on her, that's right
Once more you will be her friend
She's the only who knows
Where you're from and where you've been
And what remains unsaid
Can leave you hanging in between
I spent a lot of time in the transit lounge
And I wasn't sure where I was going now
The papers I read were all yesterday's news
Not a hundred percent sure what I did with my shoes
Lying on the floor of the transit lounge
There'll be no announcements made
Better make sure you don't sleep too sound
There'll be no announcements made
There'll be no announcements made
And you can dream about the things
You meant to do before you die
Break him out, the one
Who's waiting for his moment to shine
All the stupid things I said
Will haunt you, will linger I guess
And in the coconut grove
You can imagine the scene
Another bus unloads
We're still waiting to leave
The camera flash goes off
See the tallest man alive
And Thai massage his feet
Before his long plane ride
It could mean more than you think
Talk to her, that's right
And you don't have to lose a thing
Leave the boots and saddle outside
You could make her happy again
Laugh about the time
She threw the dinner at you
And in the coconut grove
You can imagine the scene
Another bus unloads
We're still waiting to leave
Talk to her, that's nice
Or you could make a murder begin
Breathe on her, that's right
Once more you will be her friend
She's the only who knows
Where you're from and where you've been
And what remains unsaid
Can leave you hanging in between
I spent a lot of time in the transit lounge
And I wasn't sure where I was going now
The papers I read were all yesterday's news
Not a hundred percent sure what I did with my shoes
Lying on the floor of the transit lounge
There'll be no announcements made
Better make sure you don't sleep too sound
There'll be no announcements made
There'll be no announcements made
And you can dream about the things
You meant to do before you die
Break him out, the one
Who's waiting for his moment to shine
All the stupid things I said
Will haunt you, will linger I guess
And in the coconut grove
You can imagine the scene
Another bus unloads
We're still waiting to leave
The camera flash goes off
See the tallest man alive
And Thai massage his feet
Before his long plane ride
You Are The One To Make Me Cry lyrics - Crowded House
Who'll face the tide
And take their chances?
Will fasten the line
To broken branches
Adrift on the ocean in wild winter storms
I have to imagine things to keep myself warm
The night closing in, but not to worry
Told everyone I know, that I was sorry
And I heard them all singing
For comfort and peace
And in my confusion
Yeah I still believe
You are the one to make me cry
You are the one to take me home
Of all the people in my life
My thoughts keep returning to you
But consciousness is fading fast
Surrounded by signs that go on living
Make circles in time, a spidersweb spinning
But I have no illusions of where I am now
I'll let this wave take me and draw me down
You are the one to make me cry
You are the one to take me home
Of all the stories in your life
Only good things return to you
If I could only say the word
If you could hear me cry for help
I lift my head up to the sky
But the planes that were circling now have gone
And take their chances?
Will fasten the line
To broken branches
Adrift on the ocean in wild winter storms
I have to imagine things to keep myself warm
The night closing in, but not to worry
Told everyone I know, that I was sorry
And I heard them all singing
For comfort and peace
And in my confusion
Yeah I still believe
You are the one to make me cry
You are the one to take me home
Of all the people in my life
My thoughts keep returning to you
But consciousness is fading fast
Surrounded by signs that go on living
Make circles in time, a spidersweb spinning
But I have no illusions of where I am now
I'll let this wave take me and draw me down
You are the one to make me cry
You are the one to take me home
Of all the stories in your life
Only good things return to you
If I could only say the word
If you could hear me cry for help
I lift my head up to the sky
But the planes that were circling now have gone
People Are Like Suns lyrics - Crowded House
Sweet madness it must be wrong
What kind of fool imagines love
With all this going on
Stars burning in the empty sky
And the city is a flame
With a million lights
And they come and they go
In the blink of an eye
People are like suns
And they're burning up inside
People are like suns
Science will enable us to hear
To be crystal clear
To make diamonds in the shifting sand
Better take all the love that you got in a single hand
And they come and they go
In the fullness of time
People are like suns
They are burning up inside
People are like suns
Breathing into life
All that's good in us
To saints become
It can't be helped
Doesn't stop me thinking out aloud
I could've done something
And they come and they go
Yeah they come and they go
People are like suns
People are like suns
They go out tonight
Set this town alight
All fade into white
What kind of fool imagines love
With all this going on
Stars burning in the empty sky
And the city is a flame
With a million lights
And they come and they go
In the blink of an eye
People are like suns
And they're burning up inside
People are like suns
Science will enable us to hear
To be crystal clear
To make diamonds in the shifting sand
Better take all the love that you got in a single hand
And they come and they go
In the fullness of time
People are like suns
They are burning up inside
People are like suns
Breathing into life
All that's good in us
To saints become
It can't be helped
Doesn't stop me thinking out aloud
I could've done something
And they come and they go
Yeah they come and they go
People are like suns
People are like suns
They go out tonight
Set this town alight
All fade into white
I Am In Love lyrics - Crowded House
Called out to prove my love
You reply by getting defensive
Called out to prove my love
Now you should be able to sense it
I'm full of your dreams
I let you sleep with the lights on
Stay with me might as well
Be the kind of girl you want to be
I am in love
I am in love
I am a fool
Fell from above
These things that I have done
They would be a test of anyone
How am I meant to see
You dressed up like your mother
They say you marry your father
I hope that don't reflect on me
They say you marry your mother
I hope that don't put you in her company
I am in love
I am in love
And I am a fool
There is no other
I am in love
I am in love
What I say is don't lie
But it's enough to make you wonder
I can't be one that you wanna trust
And not the one that you wanna trample
In the dust
I am in love
I am in love
And I am a fool
There is no other
I am in love
I am in love
Into the fire
Tears start coming
Good stars surround us
It's enough to wanna make you wonder
You reply by getting defensive
Called out to prove my love
Now you should be able to sense it
I'm full of your dreams
I let you sleep with the lights on
Stay with me might as well
Be the kind of girl you want to be
I am in love
I am in love
I am a fool
Fell from above
These things that I have done
They would be a test of anyone
How am I meant to see
You dressed up like your mother
They say you marry your father
I hope that don't reflect on me
They say you marry your mother
I hope that don't put you in her company
I am in love
I am in love
And I am a fool
There is no other
I am in love
I am in love
What I say is don't lie
But it's enough to make you wonder
I can't be one that you wanna trust
And not the one that you wanna trample
In the dust
I am in love
I am in love
And I am a fool
There is no other
I am in love
I am in love
Into the fire
Tears start coming
Good stars surround us
It's enough to wanna make you wonder
Sacred Cow lyrics - Crowded House
Deliberate provocation
Is what you gave to me
You got me going
You got me going
How could such a simple thing
Get so out of control?
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart
The painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you're not mysterious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
In my head
In my head
In my head
You'd never know it
You'd never know it
I went home in a jealous rage
You were rolling on the glass in a younger age
You know what's good for me
I know you're too good for me
Cos I have seen inside your heart
Religious figures that glow in the dark
No you're not too precious now
And I don't worship that sacred cow
Go and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart
The painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you're not too precious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
Go and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day
Sacred cow
Judgement Day
Coming your way
Is what you gave to me
You got me going
You got me going
How could such a simple thing
Get so out of control?
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart
The painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you're not mysterious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
In my head
In my head
In my head
You'd never know it
You'd never know it
I went home in a jealous rage
You were rolling on the glass in a younger age
You know what's good for me
I know you're too good for me
Cos I have seen inside your heart
Religious figures that glow in the dark
No you're not too precious now
And I don't worship that sacred cow
Go and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart
The painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you're not too precious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
Go and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day
Sacred cow
Judgement Day
Coming your way
You Can Touch lyrics - Crowded House
It could spell my mere defeat
You could find it's what you need
And tears will fall and oceans will rise
I feel the fear and I know I'm alive
And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die
My condition is hard to define
I'm thin and pale and I need to unwind
See no future from where I stand
For the present I am in your hands
And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die
And tears will fall and oceans will rise
I feel the fear and I know I'm alive
It's only passing through
And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die
You can touch
I won't die
You could find it's what you need
And tears will fall and oceans will rise
I feel the fear and I know I'm alive
And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die
My condition is hard to define
I'm thin and pale and I need to unwind
See no future from where I stand
For the present I am in your hands
And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die
And tears will fall and oceans will rise
I feel the fear and I know I'm alive
It's only passing through
And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die
You can touch
I won't die
Help Is Coming lyrics - Crowded House
Help is coming
I heard a whisper
White caps turnin'
The breath of summer
A distant drumming
And liar birds calling
Escape the anguish of our past
And pray...
Empires crumbling
Careless winter
Fear is running
Along the rivers
We sail tomorrow
For Ellis Island
Escape the anger of our past
And pray that peace will come at last
And dream...
Release the anger of our past
And pray that peace will come at last
And stay...
Help is coming
Help is coming
We sail tomorrow
For Ellis Island
Help is coming
Dreams come true
We sail tomorrow
Dreams come true
Help is coming...
I heard a whisper
White caps turnin'
The breath of summer
A distant drumming
And liar birds calling
Escape the anguish of our past
And pray...
Empires crumbling
Careless winter
Fear is running
Along the rivers
We sail tomorrow
For Ellis Island
Escape the anger of our past
And pray that peace will come at last
And dream...
Release the anger of our past
And pray that peace will come at last
And stay...
Help is coming
Help is coming
We sail tomorrow
For Ellis Island
Help is coming
Dreams come true
We sail tomorrow
Dreams come true
Help is coming...
I Love You Dawn lyrics - Crowded House
I love you Dawn
You understand
The strength of ten
Men in your hands
It was another time
It was another place
All is not lost
And gone to waste
Beneath the tall trees I believe
There's nothing you and me
Can't do together if we try
The day is long and the nights are cold
Just a song to warm your soul
I don't want to see you cry
I love you Dawn
You understand
The strength of ten
Men in your hands
It was another tear
It was another time
All is not lost
And we will shine
Beneath the billboards and the hordes
Magazines and rock awards
We can't afford to pay our bills
The day is long and the nights are cold
Just a song to warm your soul
I don't want to see you cry
I love you Dawn
You understand
The strength of ten
Men in your hands
It was another tear, another year
Another time
All is not lost
And we will shine
You understand
The strength of ten
Men in your hands
It was another time
It was another place
All is not lost
And gone to waste
Beneath the tall trees I believe
There's nothing you and me
Can't do together if we try
The day is long and the nights are cold
Just a song to warm your soul
I don't want to see you cry
I love you Dawn
You understand
The strength of ten
Men in your hands
It was another tear
It was another time
All is not lost
And we will shine
Beneath the billboards and the hordes
Magazines and rock awards
We can't afford to pay our bills
The day is long and the nights are cold
Just a song to warm your soul
I don't want to see you cry
I love you Dawn
You understand
The strength of ten
Men in your hands
It was another tear, another year
Another time
All is not lost
And we will shine
Dr Livingstone lyrics - Crowded House
Steam ship, sail down the river
Fight the mosquitoes that fly in a swarm
White smoke covers the jungle
See Dr. Livingston land with a thunk
Young women weep for their dying babies
Down where the sad willows gather
I am a white man in Africa
If I were to stay here
There'd be no one to save me
I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
Switch to record
I hear survival in his hands
I get the picture
But I will never understand
Mad world, invisible army
Blow up the bridges and come like a storm
Young girl, eyes full of promise
Carry the baby and keeping it warm
Down where the sad willows gather
Young men go down on their knees
I am a white man in Africa
With more than just my god to appease
I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I get the picture
I hear survival in his hands
Switch to record
But I will never understand
How there is love in his face
'Midst of all this waste
In the Mozambique sun
Under the gun
I hear the drums
I hear survival in his hands
I hear the drums
There is a curse upon this land
I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I hear survival in his hands
Hit record
I will never understand
Get the picture
Carry the sound and the fury
Left all alone in a war zone
Hours later
Carry the sound and the fury
Thoughts of my bed
So tell me about all the places you go
All the lives that you swallow, the people you keep
Leave me tired and ready for sleep
Wrestle my soul
That's where I want to be
Deep in a monastery
Fight the mosquitoes that fly in a swarm
White smoke covers the jungle
See Dr. Livingston land with a thunk
Young women weep for their dying babies
Down where the sad willows gather
I am a white man in Africa
If I were to stay here
There'd be no one to save me
I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
Switch to record
I hear survival in his hands
I get the picture
But I will never understand
Mad world, invisible army
Blow up the bridges and come like a storm
Young girl, eyes full of promise
Carry the baby and keeping it warm
Down where the sad willows gather
Young men go down on their knees
I am a white man in Africa
With more than just my god to appease
I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I get the picture
I hear survival in his hands
Switch to record
But I will never understand
How there is love in his face
'Midst of all this waste
In the Mozambique sun
Under the gun
I hear the drums
I hear survival in his hands
I hear the drums
There is a curse upon this land
I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I hear survival in his hands
Hit record
I will never understand
Get the picture
Carry the sound and the fury
Left all alone in a war zone
Hours later
Carry the sound and the fury
Thoughts of my bed
So tell me about all the places you go
All the lives that you swallow, the people you keep
Leave me tired and ready for sleep
Wrestle my soul
That's where I want to be
Deep in a monastery

Private Universe lyrics - Crowded House
No time no place to talk about the weather
The promise of love is hard to ignore
You said the chance wasn't getting any better
Labour of love is ours to endure
The highest branch on the apple tree
It was my favourite place to be
I could hear them breaking free
But they could not see me
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
I have all I want is that simple enough
There's a whole lot more I'm thinking of
Every night about six o'clock
The birds come back to the palm to talk
They talk to me, birds talk to me
If I go down on my knees
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
And it's a pleasure that I have known
And it's a treasure that I have gained
And it's a pleasure that I have known
It's a tight squeeze but I won't let go
Love is on the table and the dinner's cold
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
Feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
The promise of love is hard to ignore
You said the chance wasn't getting any better
Labour of love is ours to endure
The highest branch on the apple tree
It was my favourite place to be
I could hear them breaking free
But they could not see me
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
I have all I want is that simple enough
There's a whole lot more I'm thinking of
Every night about six o'clock
The birds come back to the palm to talk
They talk to me, birds talk to me
If I go down on my knees
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
And it's a pleasure that I have known
And it's a treasure that I have gained
And it's a pleasure that I have known
It's a tight squeeze but I won't let go
Love is on the table and the dinner's cold
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
Feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
Lester lyrics - Crowded House
Saw my life go flashing past
In the eyes of a faithful friend
Four legs, for life
And the screeching tires never seemed to end
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' round
Just cuz I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck
And strong bones
You made me clench my teeth
Us humans ain't got dignity
Eat my plants and steal my things
Cuz you're the head of security
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' round
Just cuz I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck
And strong bones
Inside and behind him
I will change...
In the eyes of a faithful friend
Four legs, for life
And the screeching tires never seemed to end
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' round
Just cuz I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck
And strong bones
You made me clench my teeth
Us humans ain't got dignity
Eat my plants and steal my things
Cuz you're the head of security
I will change if Lester lives
Not messin' round
Just cuz I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck
And strong bones
Inside and behind him
I will change...
Anyone Can Tell lyrics - Crowded House
I dream of a place that's hedged with roses
With a man in the middle don't talk in riddles
You get hung on every single word
Some call it high, some call it low
And I hear about things you don't want to know
But the truth is still a valuable thing
Don't get caught with your pants down baby
This world the criminal sing
There is another world waiting
But anyone can tell
Anyone can tell
Anyone can tell that I'm not lying
You can hide your face
Pull it into shades
'Cos you can't escape the lie forever
I dream of a place that's overrun by children
And the lord is in the kitchen
Do your work and you'll get your rewards
'Cos what you are is all that really matters
What is left you can easily scatter
On the ground a head covered in mud
Don't step on my principles baby
In spite of what you have done
One day you will have the wisdom
I will tell you
Everything straight
Anyone can tell that I'm not lying
You can hide your face
You can change your shape
'Cos you can escape the lie forever
Anyone can tell
Anyone can tell
With a man in the middle don't talk in riddles
You get hung on every single word
Some call it high, some call it low
And I hear about things you don't want to know
But the truth is still a valuable thing
Don't get caught with your pants down baby
This world the criminal sing
There is another world waiting
But anyone can tell
Anyone can tell
Anyone can tell that I'm not lying
You can hide your face
Pull it into shades
'Cos you can't escape the lie forever
I dream of a place that's overrun by children
And the lord is in the kitchen
Do your work and you'll get your rewards
'Cos what you are is all that really matters
What is left you can easily scatter
On the ground a head covered in mud
Don't step on my principles baby
In spite of what you have done
One day you will have the wisdom
I will tell you
Everything straight
Anyone can tell that I'm not lying
You can hide your face
You can change your shape
'Cos you can escape the lie forever
Anyone can tell
Anyone can tell
Recurring Dream lyrics - Crowded House
Within myself
There are a million things
Spilling over
Falling out into a silent stream
Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream
Within myself
A secret world returns
Over and over
Where the white flame of desire burns
Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream
Within myself
There are a million things
Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream
There are a million things
Spilling over
Falling out into a silent stream
Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream
Within myself
A secret world returns
Over and over
Where the white flame of desire burns
Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream
Within myself
There are a million things
Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream
Left Hand lyrics - Crowded House
It was typical of you
To give it to me plain
The sign on your door
Said make your mind up or go away
It was difficult for me
To figure you out
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Tell the way we miss out on something
We're free
But there is nothing when I present
It was typical of you
To feather your nest
Try to explain
Me and my big mouth were laid to rest
There's nowhere to go
But I'm not hanging around
Left hand
Pick me up and then you put me down
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Tell the way we miss out on something
We're free
But there is one thing when I present
Left hand
Left hand
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
To give it to me plain
The sign on your door
Said make your mind up or go away
It was difficult for me
To figure you out
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Tell the way we miss out on something
We're free
But there is nothing when I present
It was typical of you
To feather your nest
Try to explain
Me and my big mouth were laid to rest
There's nowhere to go
But I'm not hanging around
Left hand
Pick me up and then you put me down
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Tell the way we miss out on something
We're free
But there is one thing when I present
Left hand
Left hand
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Time Immemorial lyrics - Crowded House
Start in the way that you want to go on
Tear down the fence that you sit upon
It was good while it lasted but now it has gone
So face up to what you have done
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you take away all the cameras
The house that we live in is falling apart
There's no guarantee coz we got it for free
And all the pretenders to somebody's throne
Are finding it out on there own
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your public
And I will go everywhere you say
If you don't charge admission
Okay, we're lucky, but then again...
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you sell me shown the secrets of your house
And I will know everything you say
Take away all the cameras, the cameras
And I will go anywhere you say
If you don't charge admission, admission
Tear down the fence that you sit upon
It was good while it lasted but now it has gone
So face up to what you have done
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you take away all the cameras
The house that we live in is falling apart
There's no guarantee coz we got it for free
And all the pretenders to somebody's throne
Are finding it out on there own
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your public
And I will go everywhere you say
If you don't charge admission
Okay, we're lucky, but then again...
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you sell me shown the secrets of your house
And I will know everything you say
Take away all the cameras, the cameras
And I will go anywhere you say
If you don't charge admission, admission
Kare Kare lyrics - Crowded House
I was standing on a wave, then I made the drop
I was lying in a cave in the solid rock
I was feeling pretty brave 'til the lights went off
Sleep by no means comes too soon
In a valley lit by the moon
We left a little dust on his Persian rug
We gathered up our clothes, got the washing done
In a long forgotten place, who'll be the first to run?
I was floating on a wave, then I made the drop
I was climbing up the walls,
Waiting for the band to start
You can say the magic words
I've got my senses on
and this is the only place that I always run from
I was lying in a cave in the solid rock
I was feeling pretty brave 'til the lights went off
Sleep by no means comes too soon
In a valley lit by the moon
We left a little dust on his Persian rug
We gathered up our clothes, got the washing done
In a long forgotten place, who'll be the first to run?
I was floating on a wave, then I made the drop
I was climbing up the walls,
Waiting for the band to start
You can say the magic words
I've got my senses on
and this is the only place that I always run from
In My Command lyrics - Crowded House
You're standing in a deep dark hole
Beneath a sky as black as coal
It's just the fear of losing control
You know so well
Don't miss it when the moment comes
Be submissive just this once
Imagine there is something to be done
Some truth to tell
I would love
To trouble you in your time of need
Lose your way
It's a pleasure when you're in my command
Juggle like a diplomat
Struggle to hold onto your hat
Swinging like an acrobat
But time will tell
The clock is dripping on the wall
Listen to the rise and fall
Close your eyes and hear the call you know so well
Put on your wings
You're responsible for everything
Desolate in anger and safe in isolation
You're about to be the victim of a holy visitation
By the rites that I've been given
Put on your wings
You're not responsible for everything
I would love
To trouble you in your time of need
Lose your way
It's a pleasure when you're in my command
When you're in my command
In my command
Beneath a sky as black as coal
It's just the fear of losing control
You know so well
Don't miss it when the moment comes
Be submissive just this once
Imagine there is something to be done
Some truth to tell
I would love
To trouble you in your time of need
Lose your way
It's a pleasure when you're in my command
Juggle like a diplomat
Struggle to hold onto your hat
Swinging like an acrobat
But time will tell
The clock is dripping on the wall
Listen to the rise and fall
Close your eyes and hear the call you know so well
Put on your wings
You're responsible for everything
Desolate in anger and safe in isolation
You're about to be the victim of a holy visitation
By the rites that I've been given
Put on your wings
You're not responsible for everything
I would love
To trouble you in your time of need
Lose your way
It's a pleasure when you're in my command
When you're in my command
In my command
Nails In My Feet lyrics - Crowded House
My life is a house
You crawl through the window
Slip across the floor and into the reception room
You enter the place of endless persuasion
Like a knock on the door when there is ten or more things to do
Who is that calling?
You my companion
Run through the water on a burning beach
And it brings me relief
Pass through the walls
Find my intentions
Circle round in a strange hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
A million points of life
And a conversation I can't fast
Cast me off one day
Too lose my inhibitions
Sit like a lapdog on a matrons knee
Like the nails in your feet
Woke up the house
Stumbled in sideways
The lights went on and everybody screamed suprise
The savage review it left me gasping
But it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
Total surrender
Your touch is so tender
Your skin is like water
On a burning beach
And it brings me relief
And it brings me relief
And it brings me relief
You crawl through the window
Slip across the floor and into the reception room
You enter the place of endless persuasion
Like a knock on the door when there is ten or more things to do
Who is that calling?
You my companion
Run through the water on a burning beach
And it brings me relief
Pass through the walls
Find my intentions
Circle round in a strange hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
A million points of life
And a conversation I can't fast
Cast me off one day
Too lose my inhibitions
Sit like a lapdog on a matrons knee
Like the nails in your feet
Woke up the house
Stumbled in sideways
The lights went on and everybody screamed suprise
The savage review it left me gasping
But it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
Total surrender
Your touch is so tender
Your skin is like water
On a burning beach
And it brings me relief
And it brings me relief
And it brings me relief
Black And White Boy lyrics - Crowded House
Black and white boy
Black and white boy
You're so extreme
You're so confused
Color me in whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you
And you're full of the wonder of spring
It's all sweetness and lightness you bring
And a room full of people fall to your infinite charm
But when darkness should quickly descend
You go quietly, my miserable friend
To the depths of despair you will crawl
Black and white boy
Black and white boy
Black and white boy
You're so extreme
You're so confused
Color me in
Whatever mood I'm in
I could be still
In touch with you
When you shake off the shadows of night
And your eyes are so clear and so bright
You'll make fools of the liars and creeps
Put a rose in my cheeks
But when demons have climbed on your back
You are vicious and quick to attack
And you put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
Black and white boy
And you run like a cat to the cream
And you're acting so nice it's obscene
You put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
Black and white boy
Black and white boy
You're so extreme
You're so confused
Color me in whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you
And you're full of the wonder of spring
It's all sweetness and lightness you bring
And a room full of people fall to your infinite charm
But when darkness should quickly descend
You go quietly, my miserable friend
To the depths of despair you will crawl
Black and white boy
Black and white boy
Black and white boy
You're so extreme
You're so confused
Color me in
Whatever mood I'm in
I could be still
In touch with you
When you shake off the shadows of night
And your eyes are so clear and so bright
You'll make fools of the liars and creeps
Put a rose in my cheeks
But when demons have climbed on your back
You are vicious and quick to attack
And you put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
Black and white boy
And you run like a cat to the cream
And you're acting so nice it's obscene
You put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
Black and white boy
Fingers Of Love lyrics - Crowded House
Can you imagine that
An itch too sensitive to scratch
The light that falls through the cracks
An insect too delicate to catch
I hear the endless murmur
Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze
And the sound that comes to carry me
Across the land and over the sea
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I can't look back
Fingers of love move down
Colour is its own reward
Colour is its own reward
The chiming of a perfect chord
Let's go jumping overboard
Into waves of joy and clarity
Your hands come out to rescue me
And I'm playing in the shallow water
Laughing while the mad dog sleeps
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I won't be hit
Fingers of love move everywhere
There is time yet
Fall by the way
From the cradle to the grave
From a palace to the gutter
Beneath the dying waves of the sun
Lie fingers of love
Through waves of joy and clarity
A fallen angel walked on the sea
And I'm playing in the shallow water
Laughing while the mad dog sleeps
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I won't be hit
Fingers of love move everywhere
There is time yet
For you to find me
And all I want
Fingers of love move down
An itch too sensitive to scratch
The light that falls through the cracks
An insect too delicate to catch
I hear the endless murmur
Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze
And the sound that comes to carry me
Across the land and over the sea
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I can't look back
Fingers of love move down
Colour is its own reward
Colour is its own reward
The chiming of a perfect chord
Let's go jumping overboard
Into waves of joy and clarity
Your hands come out to rescue me
And I'm playing in the shallow water
Laughing while the mad dog sleeps
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I won't be hit
Fingers of love move everywhere
There is time yet
Fall by the way
From the cradle to the grave
From a palace to the gutter
Beneath the dying waves of the sun
Lie fingers of love
Through waves of joy and clarity
A fallen angel walked on the sea
And I'm playing in the shallow water
Laughing while the mad dog sleeps
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I won't be hit
Fingers of love move everywhere
There is time yet
For you to find me
And all I want
Fingers of love move down
Pineapple Head lyrics - Crowded House
Detective is flat
No longer is always flat out
Got the number of the getaway car
Didn't get very far
As lucid as hell
These images moving so fast
Like a fever
So close to the bone
I don't feel too well
And if you choose
To take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
To enflame you
Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago
And if you choose
To take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
to enflame you
Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago
And if you choose
To take that path
Would you come to make me pay?
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
I will clutch at your heart
And come flying like a spark
To enflame you
No longer is always flat out
Got the number of the getaway car
Didn't get very far
As lucid as hell
These images moving so fast
Like a fever
So close to the bone
I don't feel too well
And if you choose
To take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
To enflame you
Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago
And if you choose
To take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
to enflame you
Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago
And if you choose
To take that path
Would you come to make me pay?
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
I will clutch at your heart
And come flying like a spark
To enflame you
Locked Out lyrics - Crowded House
I've been locked out, I've been locked in
But I always seem to come back again
When you're in that room, oh what do you do?
I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds they are crying on you
And the birds are offering up their tunes
In a shack as remote as a mansion
You escape into a place where nothing moves
And I've been locked out, and I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back
And the hills are as soft as a pillow
And they cast a shadow on my bed
And the view when I look through my window
Is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead
The twin valleys shines in the morning sun
I send a message out to my only one
Yet I've been locked out, and I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
And I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back,
Yes, I will
And I work, bees in the honey
Every night, I circle like the moon
And it's an act of simple devotion
But it can take forever when you've got something to prove
I've been locked out
And I've been locked out
And I've been locked out
But I always seem to come back again
When you're in that room, oh what do you do?
I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds they are crying on you
And the birds are offering up their tunes
In a shack as remote as a mansion
You escape into a place where nothing moves
And I've been locked out, and I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back
And the hills are as soft as a pillow
And they cast a shadow on my bed
And the view when I look through my window
Is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead
The twin valleys shines in the morning sun
I send a message out to my only one
Yet I've been locked out, and I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
And I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back,
Yes, I will
And I work, bees in the honey
Every night, I circle like the moon
And it's an act of simple devotion
But it can take forever when you've got something to prove
I've been locked out
And I've been locked out
And I've been locked out
Private Universe lyrics - Crowded House
No time no place to talk about the weather
The promise of love is hard to ignore
You said the chance wasn't getting any better
Labour of love is ours to endure
The highest branch on the apple tree
It was my favourite place to be
I could hear them breaking free
But they could not see me
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
I have all I want is that simple enough
There's a whole lot more I'm thinking of
Every night about six o'clock
The birds come back to the palm to talk
They talk to me, birds talk to me
If I go down on my knees
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
And it's a pleasure that I have known
And it's a treasure that I have gained
And it's a pleasure that I have known
It's a tight squeeze but I won't let go
Love is on the table and the dinner's cold
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
Feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
The promise of love is hard to ignore
You said the chance wasn't getting any better
Labour of love is ours to endure
The highest branch on the apple tree
It was my favourite place to be
I could hear them breaking free
But they could not see me
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
I have all I want is that simple enough
There's a whole lot more I'm thinking of
Every night about six o'clock
The birds come back to the palm to talk
They talk to me, birds talk to me
If I go down on my knees
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
And it's a pleasure that I have known
And it's a treasure that I have gained
And it's a pleasure that I have known
It's a tight squeeze but I won't let go
Love is on the table and the dinner's cold
I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
Feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
Walking On The Spot lyrics - Crowded House
The odd times we slip
and slither down the dark hall
fingers point from old windows
an eerie shadow falls
I'm walking on the spot
to show that I'm alive
moving every bone in my body
from side to side
Will we be in our minds when the dawn breaks
can we look the milkman in the eye
the world is somehow different, you have all been changed
before my very eyes
Walk around your home
pour yourself a drink
fire one more torpedo, baby
watch the kitchen sink
you're lounging on the sofa, maybe
see the living room die
the dishes are unwashed and broken
all you do is cry
See the living room die
the dishes are unwashed and broken
all you do is cry
and slither down the dark hall
fingers point from old windows
an eerie shadow falls
I'm walking on the spot
to show that I'm alive
moving every bone in my body
from side to side
Will we be in our minds when the dawn breaks
can we look the milkman in the eye
the world is somehow different, you have all been changed
before my very eyes
Walk around your home
pour yourself a drink
fire one more torpedo, baby
watch the kitchen sink
you're lounging on the sofa, maybe
see the living room die
the dishes are unwashed and broken
all you do is cry
See the living room die
the dishes are unwashed and broken
all you do is cry
Distant Sun lyrics - Crowded House
Tell me all the things you would change
I don't pretend to know what you want
When you come around and spin my top
Time and again, time and again
No fire where I lit my spark
I am not afraid of the dark
Where your words devour my heart
And put me to shame, put me to shame
When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
And dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
You're still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no one to blame
It's easy to forget what you learned
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
You're drawn to the flame
When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
And I'm lying on the table
Washed out in the flood
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
I don't pretend to know what you want
But I offer love
Seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
As time slips by, and on and on
Let your mind go, anywhere it wants, anywhere it wants
Let your mind
As time slips by, and on and on
Let your mind go, anywhere it wants, anywhere it wants
I don't pretend to know what you want
When you come around and spin my top
Time and again, time and again
No fire where I lit my spark
I am not afraid of the dark
Where your words devour my heart
And put me to shame, put me to shame
When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
And dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
You're still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no one to blame
It's easy to forget what you learned
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
You're drawn to the flame
When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
And I'm lying on the table
Washed out in the flood
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
I don't pretend to know what you want
But I offer love
Seven worlds collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
As time slips by, and on and on
Let your mind go, anywhere it wants, anywhere it wants
Let your mind
As time slips by, and on and on
Let your mind go, anywhere it wants, anywhere it wants
Catherine Wheels lyrics - Crowded House
No night to stay in
Bad moon is rising again
Dice rolls
And you burn
Come down I fear
As that cold wheel turns
I know what I know
Sad Claude's been sleeping around
To stroke the right nerve
Whose needs do I serve
As Catherine's wheel turns
She was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
Go kindly with him
To his blind apparition
His face creases up
With age gone grey
He'll back here one day
She was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
She's got her catherine wheels on
Wheels on
Catherine wheels
She's gone
Vanished in the night
Broke off the logic of light
He woke
Tore the covers back
Found he was empty inside
So they were told
When the moon would rise
The best time to leave with your soul
She's gone
But towards the light
Watching her whole life unfold
Bruises come out dark
So strong was his hold on her
Regarded by some as his slave
He spoke as in a stranger's tongue
Despair us and drive you away
Bruises come out dark
Bad moon is rising again
Dice rolls
And you burn
Come down I fear
As that cold wheel turns
I know what I know
Sad Claude's been sleeping around
To stroke the right nerve
Whose needs do I serve
As Catherine's wheel turns
She was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
Go kindly with him
To his blind apparition
His face creases up
With age gone grey
He'll back here one day
She was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
She's got her catherine wheels on
Wheels on
Catherine wheels
She's gone
Vanished in the night
Broke off the logic of light
He woke
Tore the covers back
Found he was empty inside
So they were told
When the moon would rise
The best time to leave with your soul
She's gone
But towards the light
Watching her whole life unfold
Bruises come out dark
So strong was his hold on her
Regarded by some as his slave
He spoke as in a stranger's tongue
Despair us and drive you away
Bruises come out dark
Skin Feeling lyrics - Crowded House
(I see some very nice skin out there)
I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the pigment in your skin
I like the way it moves me
I like kids when they're asleep
their little arms around you
I like the way we play games
don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
it's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
with this hungry girl
I like black and I like red
and I like that orange circle
I like the things that you said
when you were misbehaving
I like the people on TV
But no-one looks like me
I love you and you love me
don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
it's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
with this hungry girl
I love the pigment in your skin
I love the way it moves me
I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the things that you said
when you were misbehaving
I love you and you love me
don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old I'm feeling young
It's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
with this hungry girl
It's the truth my child
let me hold you high
(And I like to get up in the sky)
(I like to look down)
(I like to fly)
(I like to fly, in the sky real high)
(I like to run in the sand like a horse)
(That's what I like)
(I like to swim in the ocean like a fish)
(I like to fly high)
I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the pigment in your skin
I like the way it moves me
I like kids when they're asleep
their little arms around you
I like the way we play games
don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
it's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
with this hungry girl
I like black and I like red
and I like that orange circle
I like the things that you said
when you were misbehaving
I like the people on TV
But no-one looks like me
I love you and you love me
don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
it's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
with this hungry girl
I love the pigment in your skin
I love the way it moves me
I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the things that you said
when you were misbehaving
I love you and you love me
don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old I'm feeling young
It's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
with this hungry girl
It's the truth my child
let me hold you high
(And I like to get up in the sky)
(I like to look down)
(I like to fly)
(I like to fly, in the sky real high)
(I like to run in the sand like a horse)
(That's what I like)
(I like to swim in the ocean like a fish)
(I like to fly high)
Together Alone lyrics - Crowded House
Together alone
above and beneath
we were as close
as anyone can be
now you are gone
far away from me
as is once
will always be
together alone
Anei ra maua (here we are together)
e piri tahi nei (in a very close embrace)
e noha tahi nei (being together)
ko maua anake (just us alone)
kei runga a Rangi (Rangi the sky-father is above)
ko papa kei raro (the earth mother is below)
e mau tonu nei (our love for one another)
kia mau tonu ra (is everlasting)
Together alone
shallow and deep
holding our breath
paying death no heed
I'm still your friend
when you are in need
as is once
will always be
earth and sky
moon and sea
[Maori Chant]
Anei ra maua (here we are together)

Chocolate Cake lyrics - Crowded House
Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
But it went by me sickly and sentimental
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner
And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow
Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker must be losing her faith, yeah
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate
Cars shooting by with no number plates
And hear comes Mrs. Hairy Legs
I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven
And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257
The excess of fat on your American bones
Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Kathy Straker, boy, could she lose some weight
Can I buy another slice of real estate?
Liberace must be laughing in his grave
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
But it went by me sickly and sentimental
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner
And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow
Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker must be losing her faith, yeah
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate

It's Only Natural lyrics - Crowded House
Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It's bigger than us
You don't have to worry about it
Ready or not, here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
Y'know, it's gonna come true
Here in your arms, I remember
It's only natural
That I should want to be there with you
It's only natural
That you should feel the same way, too
It's easy when you don't try going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession
Now, you've seen me at my worst
And it won't be the last time I'm down there
I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book
That's fallen down between your knees
Please, let me have my way with you
It's only natural
That I should want to be there with you
It's only natural
That you should feel the same way, too
It's circumstantial
It's nothing written in the sky
And we don't even have to try
But we'll be shaking like mud
Buildings of glass
Sink into the bay
They'll be under the rocks again
You don't have to say
I know you're afraid
It's only natural
That I should want to be there with you
It's only natural
That you should feel the same way, too
It's circumstantial
It's something I was born to
It's only natural
Can I help it if I want to?
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It's bigger than us
You don't have to worry about it
Ready or not, here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
Y'know, it's gonna come true
Here in your arms, I remember
It's only natural
That I should want to be there with you
It's only natural
That you should feel the same way, too
It's easy when you don't try going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession
Now, you've seen me at my worst
And it won't be the last time I'm down there
I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book
That's fallen down between your knees
Please, let me have my way with you
It's only natural
That I should want to be there with you
It's only natural
That you should feel the same way, too
It's circumstantial
It's nothing written in the sky
And we don't even have to try
But we'll be shaking like mud
Buildings of glass
Sink into the bay
They'll be under the rocks again
You don't have to say
I know you're afraid
It's only natural
That I should want to be there with you
It's only natural
That you should feel the same way, too
It's circumstantial
It's something I was born to
It's only natural
Can I help it if I want to?
Fall At Your Feet lyrics - Crowded House
I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Know
I'll be waiting when you call
Hey, whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
Whenever I fall (at your feet)
Whenever I fall
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Know
I'll be waiting when you call
Hey, whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
Whenever I fall (at your feet)
Whenever I fall
Tall Trees lyrics - Crowded House
Watch out big ships are waiting
Salt frozen on your cheek
I saw a girl and boy arriving
And a steamer put out to sea
Tall tree
Stand in the distance
Remember
When you were green
Don't wipe
The salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance
Sun sleeps on misty morning
Light years from channel three
I feel halfway to zero
Call me a hero I might just agree
Tall tree
Stand in the distance
Remember
When you were green
Don't wipe
The salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance
And the roses you grow
Have a powerful scent
They'll be breaking your heart
By the morning
I feel halway to zero
Call me a hero I might just agree
Tall tree
Stand in the distance
Remember
When you were green
Don't wipe
The salt from your skin
Tall tree
Tall tree
Don't wipe
The salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance
Tall tree
Salt frozen on your cheek
I saw a girl and boy arriving
And a steamer put out to sea
Tall tree
Stand in the distance
Remember
When you were green
Don't wipe
The salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance
Sun sleeps on misty morning
Light years from channel three
I feel halfway to zero
Call me a hero I might just agree
Tall tree
Stand in the distance
Remember
When you were green
Don't wipe
The salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance
And the roses you grow
Have a powerful scent
They'll be breaking your heart
By the morning
I feel halway to zero
Call me a hero I might just agree
Tall tree
Stand in the distance
Remember
When you were green
Don't wipe
The salt from your skin
Tall tree
Tall tree
Don't wipe
The salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance
Tall tree
Weather With You lyrics - Crowded House
Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well it's the same room, but everything's different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream
Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky
Well, there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather, the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather, the weather with you
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well it's the same room, but everything's different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream
Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky
Well, there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather, the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather, the weather with you
Whispers And Moans lyrics - Crowded House
Dull, dull grey
The colour of our times
Cool, cool space
That I still hope to find
Far beyond the veil
The sound of whispers and moans
Slow, time bomb
The clamour of the street
I hear this town
It never goes to sleep
And I will catch the taxi driver
Weeping like a wounded beast
Then I wake up in your room
To share one piece of your life
When tomorrow comes we may not be here at all
Without your whispers and moans
'Cos here you come to carry me home
Here you come to carry me home
Love that sound
Time erase
Tension wheels
Cool heels
Won't ya come on open the bid 'fore too long
Then I wake up in your room
To share one piece of your life
I'd give anything to be a fly upon the wall
And hear your whispers and moans
I'd like to hear your whispers and moans
Here you come to carry me
We are the mirrors
Are the mirrors of each other in a lifetime of suspicion
Cleansed in a moment of recognition
You gave your life for it
Worth it's weight in gold
And growing empires and art collectors
And Alans sound investments
Will one day be forgotten
One day be forgotten, yeah
The colour of our times
Cool, cool space
That I still hope to find
Far beyond the veil
The sound of whispers and moans
Slow, time bomb
The clamour of the street
I hear this town
It never goes to sleep
And I will catch the taxi driver
Weeping like a wounded beast
Then I wake up in your room
To share one piece of your life
When tomorrow comes we may not be here at all
Without your whispers and moans
'Cos here you come to carry me home
Here you come to carry me home
Love that sound
Time erase
Tension wheels
Cool heels
Won't ya come on open the bid 'fore too long
Then I wake up in your room
To share one piece of your life
I'd give anything to be a fly upon the wall
And hear your whispers and moans
I'd like to hear your whispers and moans
Here you come to carry me
We are the mirrors
Are the mirrors of each other in a lifetime of suspicion
Cleansed in a moment of recognition
You gave your life for it
Worth it's weight in gold
And growing empires and art collectors
And Alans sound investments
Will one day be forgotten
One day be forgotten, yeah
Four Seasons In One Day lyrics - Crowded House
Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
Sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again
You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
Doesn't pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
Sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again
You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
Doesn't pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
There Goes God lyrics - Crowded House
What'll I tell him
When he comes to me for absolution?
Wouldn't you know it?
Hope I don't make a bad decision
'Cause I'd like to believe
That there is a God
Why sinful angels suffer for love
I'd like to believe in the terrible truth
In the beautiful life
I could know you
But in this town I can't get arrested
If you know me
Why don't you tell me what I'm thinking?
[CHORUS]
Hey, don't look now
But there goes God
In his sexy pants and his sausage dog
And he can't stand Beelzebub
'Cause he looks so good in black, in black
[CHORUS]
(There goes God) bring it on home, bring it on home
(There goes God)
(There goes God)
(There goes God) make yourself strong
(There goes God)
(There is a God) It's knows it for sure
(There goes God) check it hard enough to stand
(There goes God) hey, I'd like to shake his hand
(There goes God) whoo, make yourself whole
(There goes God) yeah
When he comes to me for absolution?
Wouldn't you know it?
Hope I don't make a bad decision
'Cause I'd like to believe
That there is a God
Why sinful angels suffer for love
I'd like to believe in the terrible truth
In the beautiful life
I could know you
But in this town I can't get arrested
If you know me
Why don't you tell me what I'm thinking?
[CHORUS]
Hey, don't look now
But there goes God
In his sexy pants and his sausage dog
And he can't stand Beelzebub
'Cause he looks so good in black, in black
[CHORUS]
(There goes God) bring it on home, bring it on home
(There goes God)
(There goes God)
(There goes God) make yourself strong
(There goes God)
(There is a God) It's knows it for sure
(There goes God) check it hard enough to stand
(There goes God) hey, I'd like to shake his hand
(There goes God) whoo, make yourself whole
(There goes God) yeah
Fame Is lyrics - Crowded House
Fork lightning in your hall
Break the skin when you break the fall
I'll be the one to fix it up
Love children of the new age
Just a hippy with a weekly wage
There's no rebellion, just a chance to be lazy
[CHORUS]
When fame is in your blood
You follow the science of love
Wave the magic wand
And hang on
Now, the rest of us are living in a daze
Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made
Here come the handmaidens of end time
Lost treasure from a primitive race
All your lives written on your face
Can't fill the canyons of your minds
[CHORUS]
Now, you've changed (now, you've changed)
And jumbled the pieces, you've changed (now, you've changed)
You're better before you talked (now, you've talked)
To a roomful of strangers
Here come the handmaidens of end time
When fame is in your blood
You swallow the science of love
Wave the magic wand
And all of your stars will fall
And all of your spells will break
So look out for number one
Fame is in your blood
Break the skin when you break the fall
I'll be the one to fix it up
Love children of the new age
Just a hippy with a weekly wage
There's no rebellion, just a chance to be lazy
[CHORUS]
When fame is in your blood
You follow the science of love
Wave the magic wand
And hang on
Now, the rest of us are living in a daze
Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made
Here come the handmaidens of end time
Lost treasure from a primitive race
All your lives written on your face
Can't fill the canyons of your minds
[CHORUS]
Now, you've changed (now, you've changed)
And jumbled the pieces, you've changed (now, you've changed)
You're better before you talked (now, you've talked)
To a roomful of strangers
Here come the handmaidens of end time
When fame is in your blood
You swallow the science of love
Wave the magic wand
And all of your stars will fall
And all of your spells will break
So look out for number one
Fame is in your blood
All I Ask lyrics - Crowded House
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Take the road forgotten
Don't leave me here
Oh please let me stray
Far from familiar things
All I ask is to live each moment
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Strange roads going nowhere in particular
All I ask is to live each moment
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Free from the last
All I ask
Free from the last
Take the road forgotten
Don't leave me here
Oh please let me stray
Far from familiar things
All I ask is to live each moment
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Strange roads going nowhere in particular
All I ask is to live each moment
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Free from the last
All I ask
As Sure As I Am lyrics - Crowded House
Make your decision now
Rely on no help from above
Living is luxury
I want everything you throw out
I'll do anything you want to
Please let me go with you
I'll wear the smile on your face
Big black and beautiful
I want it, everything you throw out
There must be something you can do without
[Chorus]
Cuz I am as sure as I am
I couldn't care less
For what might go wrong
I'm as happy as sin
In a fear-shaken world
I pity the rhino
Down there it's becoming extinct
Killed for a love potion
Sad thing lookin' like a dead flower
I want it everything that you throw out
[Chorus]
Don't want to be there
Don't want to be spared
I'll wear the smile on your face
I am as sure as I am
I couldn't care less
For what might go wrong
I'm as happy as sin
In a fear-shaken world
I couldn't care less
Rely on no help from above
Living is luxury
I want everything you throw out
I'll do anything you want to
Please let me go with you
I'll wear the smile on your face
Big black and beautiful
I want it, everything you throw out
There must be something you can do without
[Chorus]
Cuz I am as sure as I am
I couldn't care less
For what might go wrong
I'm as happy as sin
In a fear-shaken world
I pity the rhino
Down there it's becoming extinct
Killed for a love potion
Sad thing lookin' like a dead flower
I want it everything that you throw out
[Chorus]
Don't want to be there
Don't want to be spared
I'll wear the smile on your face
I am as sure as I am
I couldn't care less
For what might go wrong
I'm as happy as sin
In a fear-shaken world
I couldn't care less
Italian Plastic lyrics - Crowded House
I bring you plates from Rome
You say they look fantastic
I say we're having fun
Nothing like that Italian Plastic
I bring you rocks and flowers
You say they look pathetic
You pick me up at night
I don't feel pathetic
[Chorus:]
When you wake up with me
I'll be your glass of water (uh huh)
When you stick up for me
They you're my Bella Bambina (uh huh)
I say we're on a trip
Looks like we're on vacation
I say we're having fun
In our little constellation
[Chorus]
Then I'll be your Balle Bambino, your man from the moon
I'll be your little boy running with that egg on his spoon
I'll be your soul survivor, you worst wicked friend
I'll be your piggy in the middle, stick with you till the end (Oh)
[Chorus]
You say they look fantastic
I say we're having fun
Nothing like that Italian Plastic
I bring you rocks and flowers
You say they look pathetic
You pick me up at night
I don't feel pathetic
[Chorus:]
When you wake up with me
I'll be your glass of water (uh huh)
When you stick up for me
They you're my Bella Bambina (uh huh)
I say we're on a trip
Looks like we're on vacation
I say we're having fun
In our little constellation
[Chorus]
Then I'll be your Balle Bambino, your man from the moon
I'll be your little boy running with that egg on his spoon
I'll be your soul survivor, you worst wicked friend
I'll be your piggy in the middle, stick with you till the end (Oh)
[Chorus]
She Goes On lyrics - Crowded House
Pretty soon you'll be able to remember her
Lying in the garden singing
Right where she'll always be
The door is always open
This is the place that I loved her
And these are the friends that she had
Long may the mountain ring
To the sound of her laughter
And she goes on and on
In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
'Till we see her once again
In a world without end
We owe it all to Frank Sinatra
The song was playing a she walked into the room
After the long weekend
They were a lifetime together
Appearing in the eyes of children
In the clear blue mountain view
The colouring in the sky
And painting ladders to heaven
And she goes on
In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
'Till we see her once again
In a world without end
In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
And I always will remember
In a world without end
She goes on
She goes on
She goes on
Lying in the garden singing
Right where she'll always be
The door is always open
This is the place that I loved her
And these are the friends that she had
Long may the mountain ring
To the sound of her laughter
And she goes on and on
In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
'Till we see her once again
In a world without end
We owe it all to Frank Sinatra
The song was playing a she walked into the room
After the long weekend
They were a lifetime together
Appearing in the eyes of children
In the clear blue mountain view
The colouring in the sky
And painting ladders to heaven
And she goes on
In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
'Till we see her once again
In a world without end
In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
And I always will remember
In a world without end
She goes on
She goes on
She goes on
How Will You Go lyrics - Crowded House
Escape is on your mind again
Escape to a far away land
At times it seems there is no end
To long, hard nights of drinking
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
I fell over on the couch again
But you know not all sleep is wasted
The dreams are alcohol inspired
I can't find a better way to face it
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
And you know I'll be fine
Just don't ask me how it's going
Gimme time, gimme time
'Cause I want you to see
'Round the world, 'round the world
Is a tangled up necklace of pearls
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
Escape to a far away land
At times it seems there is no end
To long, hard nights of drinking
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
I fell over on the couch again
But you know not all sleep is wasted
The dreams are alcohol inspired
I can't find a better way to face it
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
And you know I'll be fine
Just don't ask me how it's going
Gimme time, gimme time
'Cause I want you to see
'Round the world, 'round the world
Is a tangled up necklace of pearls
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

I Feel Possessed lyrics - Crowded House
She said I could never do that
But I know you can, you are in my dream
We are one person, not two of a kind
And what was mine is now in your possession
I could feel you underneath my skin
As the wind rushed in, sent the kitchen table crashing
She said, nobody move, or I'll bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange,
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
It was one of those times wished
I had a camera on me
Six foot off the ground
Well, I know how that sounds
Look above you and beyond me too
That kind of view don't need an explanation
I'm not lying, not asking for anything
I just want to be there when it happens again
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
Whenever you invade my home
Everything I know flies out the window
It's above you and beyond me too
I don't want an explanation
But I'll be there when you bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
People are strange
I feel possessed when you come round
But I know you can, you are in my dream
We are one person, not two of a kind
And what was mine is now in your possession
I could feel you underneath my skin
As the wind rushed in, sent the kitchen table crashing
She said, nobody move, or I'll bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange,
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
It was one of those times wished
I had a camera on me
Six foot off the ground
Well, I know how that sounds
Look above you and beyond me too
That kind of view don't need an explanation
I'm not lying, not asking for anything
I just want to be there when it happens again
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
Whenever you invade my home
Everything I know flies out the window
It's above you and beyond me too
I don't want an explanation
But I'll be there when you bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
People are strange
I feel possessed when you come round
Kill Eye lyrics - Crowded House
(I pick you)
(Forgive me)
Kill eye tumbling come out of the sky
Kill eye, a fiery retreat from the stars
Kill eye, he came clambering over the wall
Kill eye, halfway to Hell and beyond
I wanna be forgiven
I wanna laugh with children
Won't you ever forgive me?
Please, please forgive me
I wanna hug my mother
And the sky above her
I want the Earth to open up
And hold me
Kill eye, shoot your way out of the bank
Kill eye, watch the security guard
Kill eye, separate a man from his life
I wanna be forgiven
I wanna laugh with children
I wanna ride the pony
Be your one and only friend
Yes, I will love you 'til the end
Kill eye, half way to Hell and beyond
I wanna hug my mother
And the sky above her
I want the Earth to open up
I want the Earth to open up
(Forgive me)
Kill eye tumbling come out of the sky
Kill eye, a fiery retreat from the stars
Kill eye, he came clambering over the wall
Kill eye, halfway to Hell and beyond
I wanna be forgiven
I wanna laugh with children
Won't you ever forgive me?
Please, please forgive me
I wanna hug my mother
And the sky above her
I want the Earth to open up
And hold me
Kill eye, shoot your way out of the bank
Kill eye, watch the security guard
Kill eye, separate a man from his life
I wanna be forgiven
I wanna laugh with children
I wanna ride the pony
Be your one and only friend
Yes, I will love you 'til the end
Kill eye, half way to Hell and beyond
I wanna hug my mother
And the sky above her
I want the Earth to open up
I want the Earth to open up
Into Temptation lyrics - Crowded House
You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath
The cradle is soft and warm
It couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give
Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into temptation
A muddle of nervous words
Could never amount to betrayal
The sentence is all my own
The price is to watch it fail
As I turn to go
You looked at me for half a second
With an open invitation
For me to go
Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into temptation
Safe in the wide open arms of Hell
We can go sailing in
Climb down, lose yourself when you linger long
Into temptation
Right where you belong
The guilty get no sleep
In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I should've listened to the warning
But the cradle is soft and warm
Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into your wide open arms
No way to break this spell
Break this spell
Don't tell
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath
The cradle is soft and warm
It couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give
Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into temptation
A muddle of nervous words
Could never amount to betrayal
The sentence is all my own
The price is to watch it fail
As I turn to go
You looked at me for half a second
With an open invitation
For me to go
Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into temptation
Safe in the wide open arms of Hell
We can go sailing in
Climb down, lose yourself when you linger long
Into temptation
Right where you belong
The guilty get no sleep
In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I should've listened to the warning
But the cradle is soft and warm
Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into your wide open arms
No way to break this spell
Break this spell
Don't tell
Mansion In The Slums lyrics - Crowded House
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
When the taste of success only lasts you
Half an hour or less, but it loves you when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death
I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
Than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away from the manager's door
There is trouble at the bank
You laugh at yourself
As you go deep into debt
Laugh at yourself
While he's breathing down your neck
Who can stop me
With money in my pocket?
Sometimes I get it free
The best of both worlds, the best of both worlds
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
I'd much rather have a mansion in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
Yeah, I'd much rather, what I mean is, would you mind if I had it all?
I'll take it when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death
And somebody else is always
Breathing down your neck
Laugh at yourself
While he's hanging over your head
While he's breathing down your neck
It'll soon be over (best of both worlds)
With a mansion, mansion
(Best of both worlds) oh
(Best of both worlds) it'll soon be over
Than a mansion in the slums
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
When the taste of success only lasts you
Half an hour or less, but it loves you when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death
I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
Than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away from the manager's door
There is trouble at the bank
You laugh at yourself
As you go deep into debt
Laugh at yourself
While he's breathing down your neck
Who can stop me
With money in my pocket?
Sometimes I get it free
The best of both worlds, the best of both worlds
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
I'd much rather have a mansion in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
Yeah, I'd much rather, what I mean is, would you mind if I had it all?
I'll take it when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death
And somebody else is always
Breathing down your neck
Laugh at yourself
While he's hanging over your head
While he's breathing down your neck
It'll soon be over (best of both worlds)
With a mansion, mansion
(Best of both worlds) oh
(Best of both worlds) it'll soon be over
When You Come lyrics - Crowded House
When you come across the sea
Me like a beacon, guiding you to safety
The sooner the better now
And when you come
The hills will breathe like a baby
Pulled up, heaving from the bottom of the ocean
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
Fresh with your kisses
Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why, underneath the Heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down
When you come
When you come like an iceberg float in darkness
Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea
I should know you better now
And when you come, your majesty to entrap me
Prince of light receding
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses hard like armour
The sooner the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions, hey
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why underneath the Heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down
She came out of the water
Into my horizon
Like a cumulo nimbus
Coming in from the distance
Burning and exploding
Burning and exploding
Like a slow volcano
When you come
Cover the ground with ashes, with ashes
Baby, when you come
Nothing changes, now
When you come
Burning and exploding
When you come
When you come
Me like a beacon, guiding you to safety
The sooner the better now
And when you come
The hills will breathe like a baby
Pulled up, heaving from the bottom of the ocean
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
Fresh with your kisses
Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why, underneath the Heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down
When you come
When you come like an iceberg float in darkness
Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea
I should know you better now
And when you come, your majesty to entrap me
Prince of light receding
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses hard like armour
The sooner the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions, hey
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why underneath the Heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down
She came out of the water
Into my horizon
Like a cumulo nimbus
Coming in from the distance
Burning and exploding
Burning and exploding
Like a slow volcano
When you come
Cover the ground with ashes, with ashes
Baby, when you come
Nothing changes, now
When you come
Burning and exploding
When you come
When you come
Never Be The Same lyrics - Crowded House
Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
It could've been you
And why do you weep
For the passing of ages?
You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love
I couldn't believe it
And we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
How long must I wait
For you to release me?
I pay for each mistake
While you suffer in silence
I could still have an easy life
But the lie ain't worth the living
Once more will I hear you say
That we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
Never be the same
Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
Don't suffer in silence
'Cause we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
(And every time I hear you)
Never be the same
(And every time I mess up)
Never be the same
Never be the same
Never be the same
And every time I hear you
And every time I mess up
Never be, never be, never be, never be the same
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
It could've been you
And why do you weep
For the passing of ages?
You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love
I couldn't believe it
And we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
How long must I wait
For you to release me?
I pay for each mistake
While you suffer in silence
I could still have an easy life
But the lie ain't worth the living
Once more will I hear you say
That we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
Never be the same
Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
Don't suffer in silence
'Cause we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
(And every time I hear you)
Never be the same
(And every time I mess up)
Never be the same
Never be the same
Never be the same
And every time I hear you
And every time I mess up
Never be, never be, never be, never be the same
Love This Life lyrics - Crowded House
Seal my fate
I get your tongue in the mail
No one is wise
Until they see how it lies
Love this life
Don't wait 'til the next one comes
Gonna pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round
And maybe the day will come
When you'll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining
Gonna love this life, gonna love this life
Love this life, love this life
And so they threw you in jail
Whatever you've done
It was a million to one
And don't you just love this life
When it's holding you down?
Gonna pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round
So maybe the day will come
When you'll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining
Gonna love this life, gonna love this life
Gonna love this life, gonna love this life
Gonna love
Here's something that you can do
Even if you think that I hate you
Stop your complaining
Leave me defenseless
When you love this life, gonna love this life
Gonna love this life, though you'll never know why
Gonna love this life, gonna love
I get your tongue in the mail
No one is wise
Until they see how it lies
Love this life
Don't wait 'til the next one comes
Gonna pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round
And maybe the day will come
When you'll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining
Gonna love this life, gonna love this life
Love this life, love this life
And so they threw you in jail
Whatever you've done
It was a million to one
And don't you just love this life
When it's holding you down?
Gonna pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round
So maybe the day will come
When you'll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining
Gonna love this life, gonna love this life
Gonna love this life, gonna love this life
Gonna love
Here's something that you can do
Even if you think that I hate you
Stop your complaining
Leave me defenseless
When you love this life, gonna love this life
Gonna love this life, though you'll never know why
Gonna love this life, gonna love
Sister Madly lyrics - Crowded House
Now, you're heading down to get someone
Should've done what he had to do years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
Now, you're heading down to be someone
Someone that you've seen in a magazine
Your premonition is coming true
Oh, baby, you're not so green
No, baby, you're not so green
No, baby, you're nutso
[CHORUS]
Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
'Cause sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
Now, you're heading down to find something
Something that you buried in your backyard
The position is coming through
From all the dirt that you're digging up
From all the dirt that you're digging up
Now, you're heading down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through
From all the people that you're standing on
From all the people that you're standing on
And now, you'd better take a firm hand
[CHORUS]
Now, you're heading down to get someone
Someone that you should've had years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
You're hard to get a hand on
[CHORUS]
Should've done what he had to do years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
Now, you're heading down to be someone
Someone that you've seen in a magazine
Your premonition is coming true
Oh, baby, you're not so green
No, baby, you're not so green
No, baby, you're nutso
[CHORUS]
Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
'Cause sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head
Now, you're heading down to find something
Something that you buried in your backyard
The position is coming through
From all the dirt that you're digging up
From all the dirt that you're digging up
Now, you're heading down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through
From all the people that you're standing on
From all the people that you're standing on
And now, you'd better take a firm hand
[CHORUS]
Now, you're heading down to get someone
Someone that you should've had years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
You're hard to get a hand on
[CHORUS]
In The Lowlands lyrics - Crowded House
Oh, Hell, trouble is coming
Out here in panic and alarm
Black shapes gather in the distance
Looks like it won't take long
The first drops land on the window
The first sign that there's something wrong
Light rain and a head full of thunder
Which way, which way
Two days 'til I get to you
I'll be late if I ever get through
Where I go there'll be no kind welcome
Coming down upon me
Time will keep me warm, feel my face
Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands)
Fear will take the place of desire
And we will fan the flames on high
Try for Heaven's sake
The sky fell underneath a blanket
The Sun sank as the miles went by
Sit back with your head on the pillow
When you remember it makes you cry
Ghost cars on the freeway
Like friends that you thought you had
One by one, they're disappearing
Time will keep me warm, feel my face
Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands)
Fear will take the place of desire
And we will fan the flames on high
From on higher
Out here in panic and alarm
Black shapes gather in the distance
Looks like it won't take long
The first drops land on the window
The first sign that there's something wrong
Light rain and a head full of thunder
Which way, which way
Two days 'til I get to you
I'll be late if I ever get through
Where I go there'll be no kind welcome
Coming down upon me
Time will keep me warm, feel my face
Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands)
Fear will take the place of desire
And we will fan the flames on high
Try for Heaven's sake
The sky fell underneath a blanket
The Sun sank as the miles went by
Sit back with your head on the pillow
When you remember it makes you cry
Ghost cars on the freeway
Like friends that you thought you had
One by one, they're disappearing
Time will keep me warm, feel my face
Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands)
Fear will take the place of desire
And we will fan the flames on high
From on higher
Better Be Home Soon lyrics - Crowded House
Somewhere deep inside
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever
[CHORUS]
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert
[CHORUS]
So don't say no
Don't say nothing's wrong
'Cause when you get back home
Maybe I'll be gone, oh
It would cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it
[CHORUS]
Oh, that's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever
[CHORUS]
And I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert
[CHORUS]
So don't say no
Don't say nothing's wrong
'Cause when you get back home
Maybe I'll be gone, oh
It would cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it
[CHORUS]
Oh, that's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
Mean To Me lyrics - Crowded House
She came all the way from America
She had a blind date with destiny
And the sound of Te Awamutu
Had a truly sacred ring
Now her parents
Are divorced
And her friend's committing suicide
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me
So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
And you asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V.
To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
You said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me
You know I could not escape
A plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn't wait for a chance
Walk out the door
You know what it means to me
I...
I...
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
I
I heard him tell you ta...tantalizing
Lies
What'd'ya know
Whad'd'ya know
I could not escape
You're down on the floor
You know what it means to me
I couldn't wait for a chance
Walk out the door
Mean...
Mean...
I could not escape
Down on my knees
You know what it means
What it means
What it means
In the arms of a poet
You know what it means
She had a blind date with destiny
And the sound of Te Awamutu
Had a truly sacred ring
Now her parents
Are divorced
And her friend's committing suicide
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me
So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
And you asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V.
To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
You said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me
You know I could not escape
A plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn't wait for a chance
Walk out the door
You know what it means to me
I...

I saw you lying in the arms of a poet

You know what it means to me

I could not escape
Down on my knees
You know what it means
What it means
What it means
In the arms of a poet
You know what it means
World Where You Live lyrics - Crowded House
Here's someone now who's got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain
Expert in bed, but come on now
There must be something missing
That golden one leads a double life
You'll find out
Tell me, I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live, oh-hoo
So here we lie against each other
And these four walls can never hold us
We're looking for wide open spaces
High above the kitchen
And we're strangers here
On our way to some other place
But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live, oh-ho
To the world where you live
Friends come 'round
You might remember and be sad
Behind their eyes is unfamiliar
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live, oh-oh
To the world where you live, yeah, yeah
To the world where you live, hey, hey
To the world where you live
To the world where you live
To the world where you live
His steady hand could move a mountain
Expert in bed, but come on now
There must be something missing
That golden one leads a double life
You'll find out
Tell me, I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live, oh-hoo
So here we lie against each other
And these four walls can never hold us
We're looking for wide open spaces
High above the kitchen
And we're strangers here
On our way to some other place
But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live, oh-ho
To the world where you live
Friends come 'round
You might remember and be sad
Behind their eyes is unfamiliar
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live, oh-oh
To the world where you live, yeah, yeah
To the world where you live, hey, hey
To the world where you live
To the world where you live
To the world where you live
Now We're Getting Somewhere lyrics - Crowded House
It never used to be that bad
But neither was it great
Somewhere in the middle then
Content and much too safe
Oh tell me please
Why it takes so long
To realise when there's something wrong
[Chorus:]
Lay me out with your heart
Now we're getting somewhere
Push me back to the start
Now we're getting somewhere
Take me out let me breathe
Now we're getting somewhere
When I'm with you I don't care
Where it is I'm falling
There's money in the Bible Belt
Hugs for daddy too
Three wishes for eternity
We've got some work to do
Oh tell me please, tell me what went wrong
Cos I believe there is something wrong
[Chorus]
When you took me to your room
I swear I said surrender
When you opened up your mouth
I saw the words fall out
Though nothing much has changed
I swear I will surrender
There is pain in me heart
We can choose what we choose to believe
But neither was it great
Somewhere in the middle then
Content and much too safe
Oh tell me please
Why it takes so long
To realise when there's something wrong
[Chorus:]
Lay me out with your heart
Now we're getting somewhere
Push me back to the start
Now we're getting somewhere
Take me out let me breathe
Now we're getting somewhere
When I'm with you I don't care
Where it is I'm falling
There's money in the Bible Belt
Hugs for daddy too
Three wishes for eternity
We've got some work to do
Oh tell me please, tell me what went wrong
Cos I believe there is something wrong
[Chorus]
When you took me to your room
I swear I said surrender
When you opened up your mouth
I saw the words fall out
Though nothing much has changed
I swear I will surrender
There is pain in me heart
We can choose what we choose to believe
Don't Dream It's Over lyrics - Crowded House
There is freedom within
there is freedom without
Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
[CHORUS]
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car
there's a hole in the roof
my possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
in the paper today
tales of war and of waste
but you turn right over to the T.V. page
[CHORUS]
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again
to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, Hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, Hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know they won't win
Don't let them win
Hey now, Hey now
Hey now, Hey now
Hey now, Hey now
Don't let them win
They come, They come
Don't let them win
Hey now, Hey now (yeah)
Hey now, Hey now
there is freedom without
Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
[CHORUS]
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car
there's a hole in the roof
my possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
in the paper today
tales of war and of waste
but you turn right over to the T.V. page
[CHORUS]
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again
to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, Hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, Hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know they won't win
Don't let them win
Hey now, Hey now
Hey now, Hey now
Hey now, Hey now
Don't let them win
They come, They come
Don't let them win
Hey now, Hey now (yeah)
Hey now, Hey now
