There Goes God lyrics - Crowded House

What'll I tell him
When he comes to me for absolution?
Wouldn't you know it?
Hope I don't make a bad decision

'Cause I'd like to believe
That there is a God
Why sinful angels suffer for love
I'd like to believe in the terrible truth
In the beautiful life
I could know you
But in this town I can't get arrested
If you know me
Why don't you tell me what I'm thinking?

[CHORUS]
Hey, don't look now
But there goes God
In his sexy pants and his sausage dog
And he can't stand Beelzebub
'Cause he looks so good in black, in black

[CHORUS]

(There goes God) bring it on home, bring it on home
(There goes God)
(There goes God)
(There goes God) make yourself strong
(There goes God)

(There is a God) It's knows it for sure
(There goes God) check it hard enough to stand
(There goes God) hey, I'd like to shake his hand
(There goes God) whoo, make yourself whole
(There goes God) yeah

Fame Is lyrics - Crowded House

Fork lightning in your hall
Break the skin when you break the fall
I'll be the one to fix it up

Love children of the new age
Just a hippy with a weekly wage
There's no rebellion, just a chance to be lazy

[CHORUS]
When fame is in your blood
You follow the science of love
Wave the magic wand
And hang on

Now, the rest of us are living in a daze
Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made
Here come the handmaidens of end time

Lost treasure from a primitive race
All your lives written on your face
Can't fill the canyons of your minds

[CHORUS]

Now, you've changed (now, you've changed)
And jumbled the pieces, you've changed (now, you've changed)
You're better before you talked (now, you've talked)
To a roomful of strangers

Here come the handmaidens of end time

When fame is in your blood
You swallow the science of love
Wave the magic wand
And all of your stars will fall
And all of your spells will break
So look out for number one
Fame is in your blood

All I Ask lyrics - Crowded House

All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Take the road forgotten
Don't leave me here
Oh please let me stray
Far from familiar things
All I ask is to live each moment
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Strange roads going nowhere in particular
All I ask is to live each moment
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Free from the last
All I ask

As Sure As I Am lyrics - Crowded House

Make your decision now
Rely on no help from above
Living is luxury

I want everything you throw out
I'll do anything you want to

Please let me go with you
I'll wear the smile on your face
Big black and beautiful

I want it, everything you throw out
There must be something you can do without

[Chorus]
Cuz I am as sure as I am
I couldn't care less
For what might go wrong
I'm as happy as sin
In a fear-shaken world

I pity the rhino
Down there it's becoming extinct
Killed for a love potion

Sad thing lookin' like a dead flower
I want it everything that you throw out

[Chorus]

Don't want to be there
Don't want to be spared

I'll wear the smile on your face

I am as sure as I am
I couldn't care less
For what might go wrong
I'm as happy as sin
In a fear-shaken world
I couldn't care less

Italian Plastic lyrics - Crowded House

I bring you plates from Rome
You say they look fantastic
I say we're having fun
Nothing like that Italian Plastic

I bring you rocks and flowers
You say they look pathetic
You pick me up at night
I don't feel pathetic

[Chorus:]
When you wake up with me
I'll be your glass of water (uh huh)
When you stick up for me
They you're my Bella Bambina (uh huh)

I say we're on a trip
Looks like we're on vacation
I say we're having fun
In our little constellation

[Chorus]

Then I'll be your Balle Bambino, your man from the moon
I'll be your little boy running with that egg on his spoon
I'll be your soul survivor, you worst wicked friend
I'll be your piggy in the middle, stick with you till the end (Oh)

[Chorus]

She Goes On lyrics - Crowded House

Pretty soon you'll be able to remember her
Lying in the garden singing
Right where she'll always be
The door is always open

This is the place that I loved her
And these are the friends that she had
Long may the mountain ring
To the sound of her laughter
And she goes on and on

In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
'Till we see her once again
In a world without end

We owe it all to Frank Sinatra
The song was playing a she walked into the room
After the long weekend
They were a lifetime together

Appearing in the eyes of children
In the clear blue mountain view
The colouring in the sky
And painting ladders to heaven
And she goes on

In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
'Till we see her once again
In a world without end

In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
And I always will remember
In a world without end
She goes on
She goes on
She goes on

How Will You Go lyrics - Crowded House

Escape is on your mind again
Escape to a far away land
At times it seems there is no end
To long, hard nights of drinking

How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

I fell over on the couch again
But you know not all sleep is wasted
The dreams are alcohol inspired
I can't find a better way to face it

How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

And you know I'll be fine
Just don't ask me how it's going
Gimme time, gimme time
'Cause I want you to see
'Round the world, 'round the world
Is a tangled up necklace of pearls

How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up
Cover it up
I'll find you a shelter to sleep in

I'm Still Here lyrics - Crowded House

(Two, three, four)
(I'm still here)
(I'm still here) uh-wa-ya-ya-ya-ya
(I'm still here) I'm still here
(I'm still here) whoah
I'm still here (we won't go away)
(I'm still here) I won't go away
I'm still here
(I'm still here) I've come to rain on your parade
(I'm still here) I'm still here
(I'm still here) it's getting late
(I'm still here) well, I'm still hanging round, keeping my fingers crossed
(I'm still here) I still wanna get laid
(I'm still here)
(I'm still here) sweet, huh
(I'm still here) all together now
(I'm still here)

"Temple Of Low Men" (1988)

I Feel Possessed lyrics - Crowded House

She said I could never do that
But I know you can, you are in my dream
We are one person, not two of a kind
And what was mine is now in your possession
I could feel you underneath my skin
As the wind rushed in, sent the kitchen table crashing
She said, nobody move, or I'll bring the house down

I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange,
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round

It was one of those times wished
I had a camera on me
Six foot off the ground
Well, I know how that sounds
Look above you and beyond me too
That kind of view don't need an explanation
I'm not lying, not asking for anything
I just want to be there when it happens again

I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round

Whenever you invade my home
Everything I know flies out the window
It's above you and beyond me too
I don't want an explanation
But I'll be there when you bring the house down

I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange
God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
People are strange
I feel possessed when you come round

Kill Eye lyrics - Crowded House

(I pick you)
(Forgive me)

Kill eye tumbling come out of the sky
Kill eye, a fiery retreat from the stars
Kill eye, he came clambering over the wall
Kill eye, halfway to Hell and beyond

I wanna be forgiven
I wanna laugh with children
Won't you ever forgive me?
Please, please forgive me
I wanna hug my mother
And the sky above her
I want the Earth to open up
And hold me

Kill eye, shoot your way out of the bank
Kill eye, watch the security guard
Kill eye, separate a man from his life

I wanna be forgiven
I wanna laugh with children
I wanna ride the pony
Be your one and only friend
Yes, I will love you 'til the end

Kill eye, half way to Hell and beyond

I wanna hug my mother
And the sky above her
I want the Earth to open up
I want the Earth to open up

Into Temptation lyrics - Crowded House

You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath
The cradle is soft and warm
It couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give

Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into temptation
A muddle of nervous words

Could never amount to betrayal
The sentence is all my own
The price is to watch it fail
As I turn to go
You looked at me for half a second
With an open invitation
For me to go

Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into temptation
Safe in the wide open arms of Hell

We can go sailing in
Climb down, lose yourself when you linger long
Into temptation
Right where you belong
The guilty get no sleep

In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I should've listened to the warning
But the cradle is soft and warm

Into temptation
Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel
Into your wide open arms
No way to break this spell
Break this spell
Don't tell

Mansion In The Slums lyrics - Crowded House

I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
When the taste of success only lasts you
Half an hour or less, but it loves you when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death

I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
Than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away from the manager's door
There is trouble at the bank
You laugh at yourself
As you go deep into debt
Laugh at yourself
While he's breathing down your neck

Who can stop me
With money in my pocket?
Sometimes I get it free
The best of both worlds, the best of both worlds

I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
I'd much rather have a mansion in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
Yeah, I'd much rather, what I mean is, would you mind if I had it all?
I'll take it when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death
And somebody else is always
Breathing down your neck
Laugh at yourself
While he's hanging over your head

While he's breathing down your neck
It'll soon be over (best of both worlds)
With a mansion, mansion
(Best of both worlds) oh
(Best of both worlds) it'll soon be over

When You Come lyrics - Crowded House

When you come across the sea
Me like a beacon, guiding you to safety
The sooner the better now
And when you come
The hills will breathe like a baby
Pulled up, heaving from the bottom of the ocean
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
Fresh with your kisses
Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
And that is why
I stumble to my knees

And why, underneath the Heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down
When you come

When you come like an iceberg float in darkness
Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea
I should know you better now
And when you come, your majesty to entrap me
Prince of light receding
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses hard like armour
The sooner the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions, hey
And that is why
I stumble to my knees

And why underneath the Heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down

She came out of the water
Into my horizon
Like a cumulo nimbus
Coming in from the distance
Burning and exploding
Burning and exploding
Like a slow volcano
When you come
Cover the ground with ashes, with ashes
Baby, when you come
Nothing changes, now
When you come
Burning and exploding
When you come
When you come

Never Be The Same lyrics - Crowded House

Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
It could've been you
And why do you weep
For the passing of ages?
You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love
I couldn't believe it

And we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same

How long must I wait
For you to release me?
I pay for each mistake
While you suffer in silence
I could still have an easy life
But the lie ain't worth the living
Once more will I hear you say

That we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
Never be the same

Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
Don't suffer in silence

'Cause we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
(And every time I hear you)
Never be the same
(And every time I mess up)
Never be the same
Never be the same
Never be the same

And every time I hear you
And every time I mess up
Never be, never be, never be, never be the same
