(Tim Finn)
You are used to confrontation
but the day will soon come
When you need a shoulder
I will make it easy for you
Point you to the shoreline
I'll be there to walk you home
Whenever you can't go on
If there's phantoms in the twilight
I'll be there to walk you home
You need a travelling companion
when you feel half-hearted
Searching for a way through
let's go to the lava river
Rising up from the cold earth
I'll be there to walk you home
If you're tired of going it alone
You're in a strange and silent quarter
I'll be there beside you
Oh when the days drag on too long
When your strong resolve is broken
Resistance merely token
I'll be there beside you
Oh when the night comes crashing down
Stars will fall and sky will thunder
You'll hesitate and blunder

Martin sets out from the village (called)
Katta pella kopa leh
As the blue sun rehearse a falling roll
And even the vultures still sleep
Martin's bus comes to the forest of
Katta pella kopa leh
With the engine blowing steam into the morning dust
As farmers lead cattle to grass
CHORUS
No thunder, no fire, no rain
With Nia ceta nova lain
Martin checks into the chemical plant of
Katta pella kopa leh
As his young bride prepares for the evening feast
And in zone three he starts the long day
Martin works with strange blue waters (called)
Niacetanovalain
As the warning bell rings critical he hits the floor
And his young bride paints beads for the feast
CHORUS
Martin feels a cold wind screaming
Katta pella kopa leh
As the red sun rehearses another roll
And over the fire she stirs peas
Martin was killed in the company name
Katta pella kopa leh
As the toxin tore right through his soul
And his young bride puts flowers in her hair

Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible

He shot Goliath

Little David was small but oh my

Jonah he lived in a whale

Moses was found on a stream
Moses was found on a stream
Floated on water old Pharoah's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream

I look straight in the window, try not to look below
Pretend I'm not up here, try counting sheep
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees
[Chorus]
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And if I should try
Would you catch me if I fall
My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
Can't look below me, or something might throw me
Curse at the windstorms that October brings
I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
They're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
They're frightened of jumping, in case they survive
I wish I could step from this scaffold
Onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead
Look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
I look like a painter, behind all the grease
But paintings creating, and I'm just erasing
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece
[Chorus]

I'll give you space, as you chain me down
I won't let go, but you'll let me fall
I'll see your way, as you avoid mine
I'll give in, so you can walk on me
I'll close my eyes, so you can sew them shut
I'll keep the faith, or you'll crucify me
If I can believe, then you'll believe in me

(Tim Finn/Neil Finn)
You and I we circle each other
The truth is a powerful magnet
and beauty draws you in to her dragnet
then she sets you free
Strangeness and Charm
that's what you are
Strangeness and Charm
that's what you are
We can't separate 'cos we annihilate
Fortune and favour come too late
Break down the pieces until you're left
with nothing else
Strangeness and Charm
that's what you are
Strangeness and Charm
that's what you are
Particles of flying dust go by
A hundred billion million atoms
I don't think I want to know
What you are is no more than
Strangeness and Charm
What you need is to share the air
that Einstein breathes
What you are is no more than
Strangeness and Charm
I think I want to know
I don't think I want to know
I don't think I want to know
Strangeness and Charm
That's what you are
Come on and share it with me

We had no idea that it couldn't be done
And we needed to find a like-minded someone
We had no idea that it couldn't be done
Send the darkness back to Europe
Waking up in the warm Pacific sun
And when they try to tell us that it can't be done
We got to prove them wrong
They said it couldn't be done
We had no idea that it couldn't be done
And we needed to find a like-minded someone
Who had no idea that it couldn't be done
It would be best if you went away for a while
And somehow learned to wear a smile
At least these eyes are open now they are the ones
That bitter tears fell from
When they said it couldn't be done
We had no idea that it couldn't be done
And we needed to find a like-minded someone
Who had no idea that it couldn't be done
No idea it couldn't be done
No idea
When you and I combine
We're coming from under
In some other state of mind
Filled with a sense of wonder
No idea no idea
Now the coast is clear and the case has been won
And we've lost our fear that it couldn't be done
All we needed to find a like-minded someone
Who had no idea it couldn't be done
No idea

I can't sleep at night
Keep seeing men all dressed in white
They won't let my girlfriend talk to me
I say "what's going on, you're just showing off"
Say "i'm cracking down are you cracking up"
And she opened the lid to this lunacy
And they locked her up and threw away the key
In the name of modern medicene stay with me
Chorus:
There's nothing wrong with her
That a dose of me won't cure

It's always in the back of your mind
When everything is dark, still something shines
One chilly afternoon, you drew the blind
The earth was frozen
Ice upon the water
All at once you saw her
There in the winter light
Then the light came bouncing up from stony ground
And deep within the earth you heard the sound
Breaking like a rock you grew profound
The earth was frozen
Ice upon the water
All at once you saw her
There in the winter light
There in the winter light
There in the winter light
Making everything look beautiful
Light, a child with his own phantasmagoria
Light that spills from billions of excited atoms
Light that lingers in a quiet room
Reveal for me shine for me
There in the winter light
Shine for me, reveal for me
There in the winter light

I met a girl who wasn't quite right,
She wandered all alone in the night.
She understand the past, present and the future.
She takes me back to where I was then,
She leads me on again and again,
I'm happy now and I owe everything to her.
And she was calling me back through the years,
Leading me on through the years,
Calling me back through the years.
I want to be oblivious,
To all the things that worry us,
I want to learn the secrets of the universe.
And she was calling me back through the years,
Leading me on through the years,
Calling me back through the years.
And she was calling me back through the years,
Leading me on through the years,
Calling me back through the years.
I'm never gonna find the answer,
It's never gonna be,
Excatly what I hoped it was,
But it's good enough for me.
I never know just when she'll come,
But when she does, to her I'll run,
For she's the key to everything I ever hoped for.
And she was calling me back through the years,
Leading me on through the years,
Calling me back through the years.
And she was calling me back through the years,
Leading me on through the years,
Calling me back through the years.
I love a girl, she's calling me.

I'm stood here on the platform
Got a ticket in my fist
And I'm staring at the flowers
On your pretty printed dress
Now you say your brothers waiting
In the Escort '85
And it's better if we leave it
Just for a little while
Kathy you can play the field
Just tell me we ain't over yet
'Cause Kathy I got money coming
From a guy that Billy met
Kathy don't go
Billy's planning for my future
Says I can help him do some banks
And if I prove I ain't no loser
Kathy say you'll have me back
Maybe I could clear a grand
If I drive this stuff across the line
And Billy swears there ain't no danger
It's just like water into wine
Now your brother's getting edgy
He keeps blowing in his horn
He says I'm lying like the last time
And I'm never going to learn
But Kathy you and I don't care
We can last a thousand years
'Cause we got got gold dust on our skin

I was ready for you,
I'll never know how to thank you,
Everything that you do,
Is setting me free.
All the wisdom in the world,
Couldn't penetrate or ring true,
If not for my little girl.
It's not for nothing that I.
I was waiting for you,
Behind a high wall of poses,
Now I look at life through,
Your innocent eyes.
Teach me how to be a child,
You can slip through my defences,
Inhibition running wild,
Mass confusion in my senses.
Nearer, I really mean sincere,
Open your heart to me,
I just wanted to let you know,
That I want to be nearer.
Let's make a start together,
I couldn't let you go,
I just wanted to let you know,
The nearer you are,
The clearer I see,
The clearer I see,
The nearer you are,
The nearer you are,
The happier I will be.
I was ready for you,
I'll never know how to thank you,
Everything that you do,
Is setting me free.
All the wisdom in the world,
Couldn't penetrate or ring true,
If not for my little girl.
It's not for nothing that I,
It's not for nothing that I,
Love you,
Love you,
It's not for nothing that I,
Love you,
It's not for nothing that I,
Want you,
It's not for nothing that I,
Need you.
It's not for nothing

Persuasion
You gotta get some
Persuasion
You gotta get some
Look at me I touch your breast
Look at me I touch your knees
And I persuade you
Like always I persuade you
Like always I persuade you
Persuasion
Look at me I touch your head
I say the words and you got to bed
My sister and my mother
My father and my son
Do everthing I want them to
With persuasion
One lot of persuasion
Like always persuasion
Now there's lots of ways to persuade you
I could do it with money
I could look at you
I could show you all that
You might as well do it anyway
You might as well choose to play the game
After all you've seen yourself before
What difference does it make if I take your
photograph?
What difference does it make if someone else sees it
too?
All your friends do it
I mean nobody will know it's you
Anybody, it could be any body
I mean, these magazines, you know.
They only go to middle aged men
So why don't you do as I suggest
I persuade you
With words I persuade you
Persuasion
I've got a little biscuit tin
To keep your panties in
Soilde panties, white panties, school panties,
Y-Front
panties
By the canal, by the canal
And I persuade you
Look at me
Look at me
There's a certain word and a certain touch
A certain way and a way too much
There's a little bit here
And a little bit there
When you've done it all it's too late to care
Oh I persuade you
Like always I persuade you
Look in my eye
Under your covers
I touch you
And tell you what to do
Do it because I tell you
Do it because I love you
And I persuade you

I'm living in a minor key,
A melancholy mystery,
A quiet place where you and me,
Can be quite still.
Piano plays a minor chord,
And I'm reminded of the day,
When love game me her rich rewards,
Then took away my major woes,
I stumbled on such sweet repose,
In a minor key.
When two weary hearts,
Enter wide open spaces,
It's enough for a while just to smile,
But should love endure,
Then the smiles on their faces,
Turn to bitter tears,
Back to tears of joy.
I'm living in a minor key,
A bitter-sweet tranquility,
A place where nothing touches me,
Nor ever will.
A sad familiar melody,
Comes singing through the room to me,
Whenever I am by your side,
I'll take a ride down memory lane,
And face the truth I'm back again,
In a minor key.
Rain falls on the roof,
As we lie here together,
Laughing at the jokes,
Only you and I will ever understand,
Linger for a while,
In the pool of emotion,
Let the water rise,
Take your time and see,
You'll find it in a minor key.
I'm living in a minor key,
A melancholy mystery,
A quiet place where you and me,
Can be quite still.
Piano plays a minor chord,
And I'm reminded of the day,
When love game me her rich rewards,
Then took away my major woes,

(Tim Finn/Neil Finn)
God's white beard hung down
Sacrilegious town
Sleek nostalgia blonde
the one you had your eyes on
As you came back from the altar
your head was all a-gaga
In love with it all
In love with it all
In love with it all
with it all
Brothers come to blows
white shirt all aglow
All laid out ahead
just like the family photos
that fall out of the suitcase
and wear the same expression
In love with it all
In love with it all
In love with it all
with it all
To score the highest hilltop
to turn the angry river
leave ripples on the surface
In love with it all
In love with it all
In love with it all

Now the skies of the city are unclean
And there ain't no stars out to be seen
All that luster must've lost its glow down here
You fly [unverified] into space
There's no time to waste
You're the twinkle in the sky
There's a full moon hidden in your eyes
And it takes me to the other side
Where the light man plays upon the hill
I found my thrill
You fly [unverified] into space
There's no time to waste
You're the twinkle in the sky
You're full of surprises
Oh, I can't describe it
You're the twinkle in the sky
The light that shines from you
The light that [unverified]
The light that dims the sun
There's a light for everyone
You fly into space
It's nobody's place
You're the twinkle in the sky
You're full of surprises
And I can't describe it
You're the twinkle in the sky

A boy was looking at the sky
His telescope and eager eyes were fitted on the distance
He thought nothing else could come between
His life was full and evergreen
And gone in an instant
The moon was waiting for someone
To come along and waste some time
Waste some precious time
It was over all too soon
Astounding moon
Solemn and pale
Astounding moon
There hangs a tale
A fool is never alone
Astounding moon
She'll eat you out of house and home
Then leave you feeling more alone
As if it never happened
But winter skies are clear and bright
The stars as close as satellites
Or a drinking glass that's shattered
The moon is waiting for someone
To come along and waste some time
Take some precious time
It'll all be over soon
Astounding moon
Solemn and pale
Astounding moon
There hangs a tale
A fool is never alone
Astounding moon
Putting me in touch with myself
You know me so well
Astounding moon

When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for me, living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer, will acknowledge no frontier
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare,
'round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat
Aotearoa, rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl
At the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance
Didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me
I'll conquer and stay free
Ah c'mon all you lads
Let's forget and forgive
There's a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat
Ship-wrecked love can be cruel
Don't be fooled by her kind
There's a wind in my sails
Will protect and prevail
I just spent six months in a leaky boat

There's a pure idea in every mind,
Waiting to be acted on.
Yesterday we have to leave behind,
Climbing up that hill, never stop.
But I'd prefer that you were next to me,
Making the shape that used to be.
How'm I gonna sleep without you?
I don't want this lonely night.
How'm I gonna sleep, oh baby, I love you,
And I don't need this endless night.
There's an open road on every map,
Waiting to be travelled down.
All we need is faith to bridge the gap,
That lies between our hearts and our minds.
It's staring me blind,
I don't need this endless night, this lonely night.
How'm I gonna sleep without you?
I don't want this lonely night.
How'm I gonna sleep, oh baby, I love you,
And I don't need this endless night.
How'm I gonna sleep when I'm all alone?
How'm I gonna sleep, this house is not a home.
How'm I gonna sleep that dreamy ride through space?
This comet lacks a tail, gotta failure of nerves.
And I don't need this endless night, this lonely night,
And I don't want to be alone, I don't want to be alone.
How'm I gonna sleep?
How'm I gonna sleep?
I don't need this endless night.
How'm I gonna sleep without you?
I don't want this lonely night,
How'm I gonna sleep?
How'm I gonna sleep?
I don't need it,

My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer,
Events conspire to bring us to our knees,
My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way,
Rise up, defend yourself, never give in,
Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti,
The endless tide is murmuring his name.
I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
And even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain.
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit,
Then stood accused, the madman and his dream,
He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel,
He heard the voice travel on the magic wire,
But he loved the silence of the river,
He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel.
I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
And even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain.
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
One day you'll know the truth,
They can't pull out the roots,
Come and take me home,
To weep for my lost brother.
They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki,
His children's children wearing the white plume,
So take me for the sins of these sad islands,
The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu.
And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding,
And when you taste the sugar in your soup,
Think of Te Whiti, he'll never be defeated,
Even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain,
I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka,
Come to Parihaka,
Weep for my lost brother,
The spirit of nonviolence,
Has come to fill the silence,

It used to be
That life was cheap,
With bodies dropping all around,
But now I find
Good hearts are weak,
And love lies bleeding on the ground.
Why you wanna lose our love?
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.
We're victims of
A lack of faith,
Don't leap into the great unknown,
Unless you know
You've got the goods,
Can stand it living on your own.
Why you wanna lose our love?
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.
We share the guilt,
Of peapole in the name of love,
First build them up,
Then break them down,
Am I gonna make it easy for you,
Disappear without a trace of crying?
All I ask is that you show a little mercy.
Show a little mercy,
Show a little mercy,
Show a little mercy,

I only want to know,
Which way am I to go?
I only want to see,
What's the right path for me?
What am I here for,
If not to love you,
And let my feelings show.
I only want to know.
Black hair green eyes,
Are one and the same to me,
I dont think twice,
They wont ever let me be.
Its all beyond me,
Are you sure you want me,
Or do I have to do?
I only want to know,
Which way am I to go,
I only want to see,
What's the right path for me.
I only want to ask for the last time,
What's it gonna be?
I only want to know,
Which way am I to go?
I only want to see,
What's the right path for me?
I only want to know,
I'm going back
to where I went wrong with you.
I kissed goodbye to the best thing I ever knew,
It's all beyond,
Are you sure you want me to go?
I only want to know,
Which way am I to go?
I only want to see,
What's the right path for me?
I only want to know, I only want to know,
I only want to see, I only want to see,
I only want to know, only wanna know, only wanna know, only wanna know.
I only want to see, I only want to see,
I only want to know, I only want to know,
I only want to see, I only want to see,

Sky and sea
Met in the middle of eternity
And made a riddle out of you and me
Together in the same boat
Named forever
So keep on searching for the one you love
And more than anything
Never give up
Keep your eyes on the horizon
Horizon
Horizon
Something pure
Is hard to find when you're so far from shore
And all around you is the sweet smell of corruption
And you're running out of options
Keep on searching for the one you love
And more than anything
Never give up
Keep your eyes on the horizon
Horizon
Horizon
Slowly coming into sail
Over the horizon
Someone's coming into view
Someone who loves you
They love you!
They love you!
Keep on searching for the one you love
And more than anything
Never give up
Keep your eyes on the horizon
Horizon
Horizon
They're coming to love you
They're coming straight for you
They're coming to love you
Keep your eyes on the horizon

Paloma,
You took unfair advantage,
Of my emotional insecurity.
I was a lonely country bumpkin,
And a bumpkin to a lady of notoriety.
I said please wait until tomorrow,
And I will be a man of substance then,
But you laughed and left me feeling hollow.
You wrote me a blank cheque with your poison pen.
I never did like westerns,
I'm reeling from the blow you dealt,
Below the belt.
And I really felt it,
Below the belt.
Well I hope you're satisfied,
Watching me break down and cry.
Below the belt.
Lately I fumble and I falter,
You've altered my outlook on the world it seems,
I'm punch drunk,
You're such a dirty fighter,
You tried to massacre my schoolboy dreams.
I never did like bullies,
I'm reeling from the blow you dealt,
Below the belt.
And I really felt it,
Below the belt.
Well I hope you're satisfied,
Watching me break down and cry.
Below the belt, below the belt,
And I really felt it,
Below the belt.
Was below the belt,
Below the belt, below the belt.
Below the belt, below the belt.
And I really felt it,
Below the belt.

Many's the time I'd do anything just to belong
Many's the time what I did I would feel to be wrong
I was only trying too hard
Just to belong
I was only trying too hard
The wind pulled the water
Bonfire burning high
You took me in your arms
And told me I could cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I felt something was wrong
I didn't mean to want you
Just to belong
First we got turned away
Then we got welcomed in
First we got turned away
Then we got welcomed in
I was only trying too hard
A place to begin
I was only trying too hard
We drove past the nightclub
In a beaten up old car
The man on the door said
"Do we know who you you are?"
They gave us fruit cocktails
That we didn't want to drink
Techno music coming through
I started to think
Where are the people
That we welcomed in
Where is the place
The place to begin
It's got to be someone
It's got to be now
Many's the time I'd do anything just to belong
Many's the time what I did I would feel to be wrong
I was only trying too hard
Just to belong
I was only trying too hard
I made it my purpose
I made it my plan
The rulers of the world
Would never understand
You are my dancing queen
I wanna hear you sing
The day that you do
I'll be your dancing king
First we got turned away
Then we got welcomed in
First we got turned away
Then we got welcomed in
I was only trying too hard
A place to begin
I was only trying too hard
And if my words were stars
I'd send you a skyful
It felt so good
It felt so easy
It felt so good

There's a fraction, too much friction
There's a fraction, too much friction
There's a fraction, too much friction, yeah, yeah
There's a fraction, too much friction
Take a typical man put him
With a typical woman then
Sit back and watch everything slide
It's a perfectly natural
Expression of ill will but
When will hostilities subside?
There's a fraction, too much friction
There's a fraction, too much friction, yeah
Don't believe in opposing factions
What we need is some positive action
There's a fraction, too much friction, yeah, oh, yeah
It's a very old problem that
Goes back to the dark ages
The wages of original sin
Let's make it a better world
Let's shake it you, boys and girls
It's never too late to begin
There's a fraction, too much friction
There's a fraction, too much friction, yeah
Men and woman need each other
Should be like sister and brother
There's a fraction, too much friction, yeah, oh, yeah
La la la
Look for a man who will love his woman
Look for a woman who will love her man
Look for a man who will love his woman
Look for a woman who will love her man
I swallowed my pride for you
My personal highs bore you
You're too wrapped up in your own world
I'm not a man for nothing
I gotta become someone
Inside this oyster there's a pearl
There's a fraction, too much friction
There's a fraction, too much friction, yeah
Holding on to the bygone era
Everybody shout 'cause we're getting nearer
There's a fraction, too much friction, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
What we need is some positive action

Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry,
It remains to be seen if its worth the worry,
Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry.
And I won't regret it for a single moment,
The hours I spend investigating,
A way of living with no misgiving.
Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry,
It remains to be seen if its worth the worry,
Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry.
And I tumble onwards,
And stumble sideways.
When you least expect it,
There's a major breakthrough,
No way of knowing,
If you're coming or going.
Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry,
It remains to be seen if its worth the worry,
Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry.
Growing pains leave no trace,
They're peculiar to the human race.
Growing pains leave no trace,
They're peculiar to the human race.
Growing pains, growing pains, always in a hurry,
It remains to be seen if its worth the worry,
Growing pains, growing pains, always in the middle,
You dont want to complain or play seocond fiddle,

Staring at the embers
Of my memory, trying to remember
Just what you meant to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
Sit right down before the fire
My bridges are all burning
A lady told me she was a liar
In love at least I'm learning
Staring at the embers of my
Memory staring at the embers
They're all that's left to me
Don't know where I'm going
There's no way of knowing
Staring at the embers
The flame has gone you put it out
Out without a word of warning
The pleasure palace goes
Up in smoke
But this fool goes on yearning
Staring at the embers
Of my memory
Fireplace surrender
Please give her back to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
Staring at the embers of
My memory
Trying to remember just
What you meant to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling

Up here in my lonely room
Holding on forever and a day
I guess it was serious
Under heavy weather
Holding a lover
You can't help feeling
Life is a bottle of
Vintage wine
All of a sudden you came

Made my day, you made my
Day, came along and
Made my day, you made my
Day, came along and
Made my day, you made my day.
It's one of my golden rules
Never let your guard down
for too long
But you were nobody's fool
Made me see how wrong I was
Holding you close
In an open embrace
I realise there's nothing to lose
All of a sudden
You came along and
Made my day, etc
You came along in the Winter time
Wrapped me up
In your warm sunshine
And I'm feeling fine
Not meaning to sound absurd
But the murder of all that
Was me
Is done and I'm glad of it
Let the guilty go free
Holding a lover
You can't help feeling
Life is a bottle of vintage wine, All of a sudden
You came along and
