Bad Times Good lyrics - Crowded House
Hey
Everybody wants to make a bad time good
Hey
It looks like some kind of medicine for me
Hey
Everybody wants to make a good time last
Before we choose a path
Let's spend the night at Los Campaneros please
Through the doorways of the past
Do you have to bend so low?
Hey
Everybody wants to make a bad time good
Hey
It looks like a bear stole the honey from the bees
Hey
Every day you send a dozen boxes home
Oh how would I know what anybody needs?
And now we just have to breathe
And it's a challenge for the impresario
Another compromise on the way
I thought you'd get it by now yeah
Whether sunlight or shadow falls on me
You won't come out
Rolling drums they say
Come out
Before the dawning
You won't come out
Roaring thunder breaks
Come out
Before the morning
You blow my mind
Hey
Everybody wants to make a bad time good
Hey
It looks some kind of medicine for me
Playing With Fire lyrics - Crowded House
The chairman's looking out for me
And fortune used to favor me
Lately I've been lying frozen in my bed
Feeling like the end isn't far away
Now some might say
We're losing ground
I've never seen such a thing
Never seen such a thing
To thank your enemy
My wife is wild in quarantine
The chairman's got it in for me
And my brain is getting closer to the edge
But I can't explain that trip to her
Now some might say
We're winding down
I've never seen such a thing
Never seen such a thing
We're playing with fire
And we're playing with fire
And we're playing with fire
And this time, let's all be quiet
The next generation's talking
We're behind the wheel
We're driving straight to the wall
Pretend it's alright
We'll make it in time
Be equal to the fight
Be someone saving lives
When my legs and my arms let go
That's when my hands and my heart say no
We're playing with fire
And this time
And some may say
We'll turn it round
If you believe such a thing
I'll believe such a thing
To The Island lyrics - Crowded House
You pick me up with a smile for my weakness
I'm bittersweet but you care about me
You found me lost in the chaos and confusion
You said it's possible that we can be free
You take my hand and then you sweep me off my feet
Oh let me move you
Come to the island
Where we can save our souls
It's just the right size
The world is beyond us
It's too enormous
But oh the island is just right
It's the perfect size
You pick me up, with the promise of love
Our names on the door at the island of real
You have a way of being gentle and tough
In every sense I think you know how I feel
Cos I'm afraid of things I don't understand
And now I need a little hope
Oh let me move you
(The cities covered in smoke)
Come to the island
(The whole systems broke)
Where we can save our souls
It's just the right size (for me)
The world is beyond us
(Let's not get into a fight)
It's too enormous
(Irene Goodnight)
But oh the island is just right
It's the perfect size
Just right
It's the perfect size (for me)
The world is beyond us
(Shit just got real)
It's too enormous
(Fell under the wheel)
But oh the island is just right
It's the perfect size (for me)
It's the perfect size
Sweet Tooth lyrics - Crowded House
There's just enough right now
To go around
There were six of us but somehow
Now there's 17
It's been a wait
At Mr Chow's for peking duck
Just enough right now
To put that madness in your heart
Sweet tooth
And you don't remember
Can't find anyone
To tell your troubles to
Sweet tooth
You can't resist it
How could anyone
With that sugar in their mouth
Just enough right now
To go around
Chocolate swirl, sugar plum
Go lie down
Buzzing out, go crazy now
Can't find sweetness in your heart, yeah
Sweet tooth
And you don't remember
Can't find anyone
To tell your troubles to
Sweet tooth
You don't resist it
Put that sugar in your mouth
I will never know when I've had enough
I will never know when I've had enough
Feel it travelling in my blood
Feel it beating in my heart
I will never know when I've had enough
I will never know when I've had enough
Butterfly kisses like a drug
I will never know till the sugars all run out
Sweet tooth
And you don't remember
And you can't find anyone
To tell your troubles to
Sweet tooth
Don't resist it
How could anyone
Put that madness in your heart
Whatever You Want lyrics - Crowded House
People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got em well trained now)
People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(To keep you in your place)
Every night and every day
Some will fall upon their swords
In order that they might serve
The greater good but don't believe a word of it
People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got em well trained now)
Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(They dare not complain)
As crazy as a king
As bent as a snake
But there are some things
They will never ever say
Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(To keep you in your place)
Hear the lying every day
I see the same expressions on them
How they long to speak their mind
But something always stops them dead
Should be shouting from the mountain
At their top of their voice
"This is not right; this man is a fake"
But they will follow him down
To the edge of the cliff
And if he tells them to jump
They will jump right in
Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got em well trained now)
Whatever you want
You raise your hand
And they respond
And they will tell you
Whatever you want
Show Me The Way lryics - Crowded House
And I opened up
When the sheriff came
In my father's name
And I took the fall
For my brothers' shame
Would you do the same?
When I see red
I put a handgun
Under my pillow
When I see blue
I put a blanket
Over my window
Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real
The smokers came
Through the sugar cane
With the burning cross
You'll forget me not
When you wipe away
All the holy pain
When I see red
I feel a power
For no reason
When I see blue
I think of nothing
That lasts forever
Please show me the way to help
Show me the way to love you
For real
Show me now
Cause I'm still learning
It's all or nothing
Show me the way to love you for real
Goodnight Everyone lyrics - Crowded House
Oldest form of revenue
One more drink for the road
Drive them to the heights
Dragging by the toes
Goodnight everyone
Keep your eyes on me
When the view is insane
We can break the mold
And go against the grain
Where are you now my sister?
Wilding hair beneath the half moon
Arrange the heavens Electra
Your flaming arrow in the dawn
You leave my mind so clear
But the floor is a mess
Those dreamless nights on the road
I count among the best
Goodnight everyone
I'm all done with fame
Cause I'm always on guard
Always on parade
Never seen again
Where are you now my sister?
Wilding hair beneath the half moon
Arrange the heavens Electra
Your flaming arrow in the dawn
Too Good For This World lyrics - Crowded House
Go quickly my dear
Fly like the wind
Look at you chief
Your wings are magnificent
The air is alive
There's a mob set on violence
There must be a way
To escape from the follies of men
I may never see sailor again
If you see her, tell her I love her
Maybe one day it will all make sense
But if I have to leave her
I must be too good for this world
I must believe that I can reach the sky
My feathers are flowing
And my wings unfurled
I must be too good for this world
The dream was so real
It was truly divine
We made heavenly love
I saw God for a moment
I would if I could
But I can't reach him now
He's been carried away
On a horse with his head in the clouds
My sailor, my island, my dream
There will always be blue skies above her
She was just the right size for me
But if I have to leave her
I must be too good for this world
I must believe that I can reach the sky
My feathers are flowing and my wings unfurled
I must be too good for this world
These little things are meant to try us
These little wings were meant to fly
These little things are sent to try us
These little wings were meant to fly
I gave myself to love
It seemed so simple
Ah, but I only made things worse
And goodness is a curse
I must be too good for this world
I must believe that I can reach the sky
My feathers are flowing and my wings unfurled
I must be too good for this world
These little things are sent to try us
These little wings were meant to fly
These little things are sent to try us
These little wings were meant to fly
Start Of Something lyrics - Crowded House
The call has come through
You're so out of tune
So awkward on the phone
I'm in the ambulance
Where's the rapture
A sign to carry on
Where you won't be mad at me
This make up
Has come to nothing
This breakup
Is the start of something
Precious
The world returning
Walking out on you
The only one I love
Half of me wants to stay
There's still ways to go
And some will never know
And though they tell you it's the end
It's the start of something
This makeup
Has come to nothing
Like an echo
Of a world returning
A world returning
It's the start of something
It's the start of something
I know it
Real Life Woman lyrics - Crowded House
No I'll never understand
The criminal mind
It's a nice soundtrack
For a late night
Narrative not so critical
My own thoughts are difficult
I'm so tired
And there's nobody else to call
And I'll never understand
Why you put up that wall
A woman so gifted and intelligent
You don't like the way I'm telling it
From a distance
And I could feel your power
When we were singing lines together
Real life woman
Never my intention
To create a legend
Talking 'bout a real life woman
Every misadventure
Is a kind of redemption
You're not dressing for a man
In your elegant gown
Still an incurable romantic
Under the lights
Like a bird in flight
Every single night
You bring everyone together
Real life woman
Never my intention
To create a legend
Talking 'bout a real life woman
Every misadventure
Is a kind of redemption
Someone hiding put that image in your mind
In the shape of a real life
Leave him locked inside
Keep him out of sight
Never take a chance
A love to waste them all
Giant creatures wait
On the beaches of the Nile
It must be good for someone, yeah
Love Isn't Hard At All lyrics - Crowded House
Let's go
The world awaits
Or save it for a rainy day above you
We can try
All kinds of ways
To send me to an early grave below you
It wouldn't hurt to hear you say
Although it's just a turn of phrase
"I love you"
And in the dark
I hear the call
It feels like love isn't hard at all
The sun comes up and I see you lost in thought
Those eyes are miles away
They'll take your mind on holiday
Where are you?
I'll help you
Remember
A man works hard
To find his shape
Knowing where he stands
And how much of this he can take
The song the siren's make
Getting loud as the swell's about to break
And will I float when the life boat goes under?
Just like the ocean floor
You're relatively unexplored
Who are you?
And from the deep
I hear the call
It feels like love isn't hard at all
My head comes up and I'm ready
Fear no more
Deeper Down lyrics - Crowded House
The whale lies
Washed up in the shallows
Stinking to high heaven
People running round gasping
Why oh why
I am never one to wallow
I leapt into the ocean
Went diving deeper down
Let's go deeper down now
Let's go deeper down
Let's go deeper down now
Let's go deeper down
There's someone hiding in the shadows
A young man dim and callow
He's stolen all my clothes
Hungry eyes of imaginary lovers
Devils must be dancing
In the mind of every man
(Let's go deeper down)
When you think it's getting rough
On the surface high above
I'm always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
In my nature you can trust
More than hunger, more than lust
I'm always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
Like any flower on earth
From the moment of my birth
My desire is to open up
Hold me
Love me
When you think it's getting rough
On the surface high above
I'm always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
In my nature you can trust
More than hunger, more than lust
I'm always reaching out for love
A little deeper down
Anthem lyrics - Crowded House
There for my children, there for my woman
Deep in the garden, no longer forbidden
I'm humming to myself my own anthem
Somethin' joyous, cover the weakness in my soul
When she's in danger who'd be a witness?
I would risk everything for her happiness
Now I'm humming to myself my own anthem
Somethin' joyous, cover the weakness
A heavenly chorus
And I come to my senses
Just before I close the door
And I won't be kept apart
From the ones that I adore
And you fix it to your head
And it's there forever more
I don't wanna lose you
A prayer in the silence
Think of forgiveness
An end of the violence
And I come to my senses
Just before you close the door
You keep it in line, you keep it in line
You keep it in your mind
You keep it in your mind
You keep it in your mind
You keep it in your mind
I don't remember
I don't remember
Beautiful Life lyrics - Crowded House
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
Beginning with pain
And ending in sorrow
Can you push hard
Enough to shine on?
So welcome and smile, it arrives on time
If not today, there's always tomorrow
You read my signs so well
I pick you up side and raising one eye...
It's a beautiful life
Old is always missing
I can never see forthlooking
Ah...
Beautiful wife, we're together for live
And every day wonder 'bout it's lies
Won't you please come home?
'Cause you know, where everything goes
A beautiful machine
The colour so green
The blink of an eye
The time is a hallow
And save us, burning green
The colour is green
The number thirteen
It's a wonderful life
Ah...
It's a beautiful life
Sold in sable
It's a beautiful life
And sold undoubled
Bound To Rescue lyrics - Crowded House
Freedom lies, without good heart
Find a way to stop? Or a way to end
The mystic wand, the fair weather friend
Find a way to stop or a means to end
Torn my hopes
Let the battle commence
There is my honour
Bound to rescue
Bound to rescue
The dawn he has no intellect
Any danger will with his sword protect
The tribal dance, a fight to the death
For our worst desires, make us blind to the rest
If to conquer we must
Let the battle commence
There is my honour
Bound to rescue
Bound to rescue
Bound to rescue
Bound to rescue
All in fire
Bound to rescue
All in fire
Bound to rescue
Eyes Grow Heavy lyrics - Crowded House
We stand on guard 'til our eyes grow so heavy
We hang on tight 'til our hands grow so weak
All precautions prepare you for nothing
When lights go down on the street
And when the morning comes
You won't remember too much of anything at all
And in my future of fantastic visions
They're tall and sleek and they tower over me
Tie me down and I'll beg them for mercy
I'm paralysed in my sleep
And when the morning comes
I won't remember too much of anything at all
Before they break in to steal the silver
Thieves come 'round to admire the loss
At the end of each waking hour
Is just one more chime on the clock
And when the morning comes
You won't be aware of his touch or anything at all
Nonsense Of Course lyrics - Crowded House
Oh, my love, your colour is gone
You can rest, take a breath to focus on
And there's nothing more you can't handle
Word is heard, I'm kissing now
Being trapped we can help each other out
Make the devil run, doing... doing
Here is a light (tonight, tonight)
Here is a light (come on tonight)
Come on inside, let the heaven set you free
You and me, the stars
Maybe love tonight
Every time it's fun
'Till the end of time
All the heartbeats count
We'll be guilty but, they count together our
Take us and marry us
Even now, I go in to score but...
I can't help but to linger on
And you know how I lie to get doing
Every woman and every man gets close together
When the worse things happen
And for this I'll love the stronger person
Who'll ever make stars?
Maybe love enough
Every diamond spark, 'till the end of time
All the heartbeat melts they'll be good to us
Come together us, taken some day or ...
It's just a cold when our leaders know too much
Save me, you got to feel it
I can't believe
Just a cold when our leaders were bound to see
I'm in trouble here
But just you and I are parting ways
We got the feds, we won't come undone too late
Every woman and every man gets close together
When the worse things happen
There is a life that's stronger than before
This could be a chance to see with my own eyes
A carousel or a diamond bell
What time to circle in the sky
They're here with us
They believe in us and they come from on hide
And they travel in the wilderness too
They read at us and decided us
There's a dark to the future for a couple of impressionist kids
And they land on the grass tonight
There'll be cottons of flaming hits
There'll be colourful lights to fly
You're my starlight companion
They put you in a trance
They really captivate your heart
They make you lose your head
They are the strangest friends you've got being the audience
Who really laugh with them?
They are the strangest friends you've got
And you'll forget to say 'Thanks a lot'
And they land on the grass tonight
There'll be cottons of flaming hits
There'll be colourful lights to fly
You're my starlight companion
Ooh hey, starlight
Ooh hey, starlight
And when you dance they really captivate your heart
They make you move your wrist
They are the strangest friends you've got being the audience
Who is in love with them?
They are the strangest friends you've got
And you'll forget to say 'Thanks a lot'
When they land on the grass tonight
And they take your soul and wish it's a part of the game
When strange friends come out to play
Oh Hi lyrics - Crowded House
Every child is a mystic, having visions of a new dawn
Be the one in a million that could lift the sun
Up and over my horizon
They can take it to the people with a microphone
Scare the darkness with a lightbulb
Oh hi, oh hi
Same light in your head
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, I won't forget
I know we can make something happen
You can put me back together
When I think I can do no wrong
When it comes to being clever
I should never count anyone out
'Cause she's not the kind of puzzle only you can do
Underwater with a blindfold
Oh hi, oh hi
Same light in your head
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, you're in my head
Oh hi, oh hi
Same light, I won't forget
I won't forget
So high
You come on overland
See what you're missing
It's so fine
The world's crazy, that's for sure
And there's something wrong with the state of my head
Well I know you can get to the heart of it
That is what I came here for
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright
And that is why I wanna hear more
Oh hi, oh hi
It's alright, you're in my head
I won't forget
Oh hi, oh hi (It's alright)
You're in my head
Oh hi, oh hi
The same light, I won't forget
Only Way To Go Is Forward lyrics - Crowded House
Only way to go is forwards
Where the future's looking bright
Curtains on the bar are closing
That's why we'll have to stay all night
Drink up there's no one in control
Give in to the madness in our soul
You and me are witness to the fall
Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I tell you what we've got
Not too much time before they bury us
Only way to go is forwards
And it's not such a pretty sight
When you head is full of embers
From the fire we lit last night
Drink up there's no one in control
Give in to the madness in our soul
You and me are witness to the fall
Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I tell you what we've got
Not too much time before they bury us
We'll have moments of wrapped up patience
Lots of feelings of desperation
And we won't sit back and looking at photographs
Come back to see the aftermath
Life still makes, pictures integrate, your live, ah ah ah ah...
Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I tell you what we've got
Not too much time before they bury us
Celebration and we won't get back
Looking at photographs
To see the aftermath
Walk and think you're great
Your control, oh oh oh...
Some Greater Plan lyrics - Crowded House
(live version)
Your life, is just beginning, the war it never ends
Here's a reminder, we can look forward again
The spark is returning, we made eyes across the room
You were gorgeous and absurd, tell me, have you heard
The word resurrection
We gave up on the world somehow
And now we start believing
If all that we could do, is fill the room
With a song of love
I'm here if you want, to feel a part
Of some greater plan
Do you want, to heal the heart
Of this broken man?
You'll never be lonely again, would you like to say yes
We'll clean up the mess, sad children of the earth
Tell me have you heard, the world revolution
We gave up on the world somehow
Now we better start believing
If all that we could do, is fill the room
With a song of love
I'll sing it if you want, to feel a part
Of some greater plan
Do you want, to heal the heart
Of this broken man?
Do you want? Do you want? Do you want?
Do you want? Do you want?
Do you want? Do you want?
Do you want, to heal the heart
Of this broken man?
The Intriguer lyrics - Crowded House
A one, two, three, four...
I know, there's no need to find another cause to my complaint
Behind every fall is one that comes before
I create
And sometimes I think it's just bad luck to get this all mixed up
But then again I suspect that someone plays ahead
(You'll need them)
It's a game (Intriguer)
Mansion loves to watch
And after my mistakes
(You'll need them)
Here's a name
(The intriguer)
And, it's like she's taunting us
Seems worse, she's ignoring us
Next thing, the intriguer's running your life
She makes the conversation, stop this moment you arrive
And when you think it's in your head, she makes it comes alive
Impossible to concentrate when she's inside
You're never wrong
In the end I can't resist you
You always like
Twists and turns, I go with you
And you decide
To trip me up
Turn off the light
You're never armed, never armed
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ho
Hey, yeah, ho, hey, hey, yeah, ho, whoo
Throw Your Arms Around Me lyrics - Crowded House
(originally by Hunters & Collectors)
I will come for you at nighttime
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
As I go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
And we will never forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
I dreamed of you at nighttime
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know I will never say goodbye
And though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
And we may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You will throw your arms around me
Yeah, you will throw your arms around me
Turn It Around lyrics - Crowded House
Make up the sound
A sense of disbelief
We can turn it 'round
Before we leave
Rescue the chords
The one that made us wise
Washed upon the shore
Came back to life
Beyond the star
Monument always frozen
We are alive
Ahhhh
Occupy the space
Sing for all the rules
Feel the spirit move
Start anew
The white begins to fade
Underneath it's blue
Violet from the deep
Immerses you
When you wanna feel alive
Or you wanna climb
Anyway, in my heart alive
Stay young
Blame it on the drugs
Make me what I was
Finally got the love
Blame it on the dogs
[?]
Is a welcome [?]
Two Minutes Of Silence lyrics - Crowded House
Well I still can't be sure if my brothers are dead
I was running up behind and now I'm come in to return
Well last night I prayed to my god, let me live
And he left me with a mission I will never forget
After the gods have me silenced on the hill
Billions of stars reflected on the ocean still
Like any other night
Like a shadow now I drifting and stumbling around
But I'd rather be standing than dead underground
They told me enemy was heartbreak, despair
It was an innocent time for it to damn, to damn
Every shell buried underneath the hill
Billions of stars reflecting on the ocean still
Like any other night
(Any other night, any other night)
Any other night dreaming of the silence
There's nothing we can't talk about
Knowing of a soldier
I saw the light
Come off, bouquet
We live to fight
Another day
Another day
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
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
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)
