Somewhere deep inside something's got a hold on you
And it's pushin' me aside So you'd stretch on forever. Chorus: And I know I'm right For the first time in my life. That's why I'll tell you You better be home soon. Strippin' back the cause of lies and deception, Back to nothingness Like a week in the desert. Chorus Don't say no. Don't say nothin' wrong. When you get back home, Maybe I'll be gone. Go-o-one.. It would cause me pain if we were to end it But I could start again. You can depend on it. Chorus That's why I'll tell you. You better be home soon. |

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 |

Oh, Hell, trouble is coming
Out here in panic and alarm Black shapes gather in the distance Looks like it won't take long The first drops land on the window The first sign that there's something wrong Light rain and a head full of thunder Which way, which way Two days 'til I get to you I'll be late if I ever get through Where I go there'll be no kind welcome Coming down upon me Time will keep me warm, feel my face Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands) Fear will take the place of desire And we will fan the flames on high Try for Heaven's sake The sky fell underneath a blanket The Sun sank as the miles went by Sit back with your head on the pillow When you remember it makes you cry Ghost cars on the freeway Like friends that you thought you had One by one, they're disappearing Time will keep me warm, feel my face Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands) Fear will take the place of desire And we will fan the flames on high From on higher |

Into Temptation - 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 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 the spell don't tell |

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

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 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 the lives written on your face Can't fill the canyons of your mind Chorus Now you've changed and jumbled the pieces You've changed but you were better off before You talked to a roomful of strangers Here come the handmaidens of end time Chorus And all of your spells will break And all of your stars will fall So look out for number one Fame is in your blood |

Four seasons in one day Lying in the depths of your imagination Worlds above and worlds below The sun shines on the black clouds Hanging over the domain Even when you're feeling warm The temperature could drop away Like four seasons in one day Smiling as the shit comes down You can tell a man from what he has to say Everything gets turned around And I will risk my neck again You can take me where you will Up the creek and through the mill Like all the things you can't explain Four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day It doesn't pay to make predictions Sleeping on an unmade bed Finding out wherever there is comfort There is pain Only one step away Like four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day |

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?

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 I've been locked out And I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited 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 Twin valley shines in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one And I've been locked out and I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back And I work with the bees and the honey And every night I circle like the moon And it's a act of simple devotion But it can take forever when you've got something to prove I've been locked out |

Show what you're made of, surprise us both Fly in the night, slow down town Brake too fast, bring us round, bring us round And the finest days have come Summer nights go on so long So high I might as well be gone And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed You're the last one standing Lean and hungry with a fire in your eyes I'll play catch up, you can show me where it's at I'll go along with anything that you want to do Everyday I'm making ground So high I might as well be gone And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed When you come walking into my house I'll be the last one standing If you want you can get there Night vision and I find your white doves Landing you in treasure towers And I promise that I won't look back Everyday we're making ground So high I might as well be gone And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed When you come walking into my house I'll be the last one standing |

Remember my loose tongue
Forget what I just said I'd crawl over broken glass If we could start again Before our plans were made When the world was young The house is falling down Because of my loose tongue Shouldn't say so much Shouldn't talk so loud No sooner on your lips Than it's all over town In all our given days How many gone to waste A good man has been hung Because of my loose tongue Your skin is changing its hue Your guard is coming down fast Looks like someone I knew Uncovered happiness at last All the wagging tongues Too much information In the future now Under massive doubt The papers on the street Get trampled under feet And they settled for a princely sum Goodwill is coming down And when it rains Your well is full |

See it anyone got my eyes got my face
Sing it everyone got my nose got my blood Conscience plays upon me now Safe until my luck runs out Cukoos call, pendulum swings I thought you knew everything Lift my hands make the cross Sinner I have never learned Beginner I cannot return Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier Those things I should keep to myself But I feel somehow strangely compelled Under moonlight I stood wild and naked Felt no shame just my spirit awakened Sinner got my eyes got my face Fireball drop from the sky All my dreams have come to pass Where's my faith is it lost Can't see it till you cast it off Sinner there is no such thing Beginner I have learned to sing Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier Today I am still disconnected To the face that I saw in the clouds And the closest I get to contentment Is when all of the barriers come down |

Don't ask the question
Cos you won't like the answer Get up off your chair There's nothing for you here Where the guests like souvenirs They play with you 'till you're all worn out Back where the guests like souvenirs Prison color blue It's a uniform of choice Count yourself lucky That you don't write the software And the guests like souvenirs They play with you 'till you're all worn out Back where the guests like photographs They hope you had a good night Loosen up your tie Make the veiwers cry I cannot pretend to cry Memorise by heart Every single part There's nothing for you here Where the guests like souvenirs They play with you 'till you're all worn out Back where the guests like souvenirs They hope you had a good night |

If I lose my way you'd tell me the truth for all it's worth Lifting up your hand show me my rescue When I said, truth is worth more than pride Truth is worth more than pride Everything you do continues long after you've gone Circle overhead the view from the bed So high and lonely Sixteen times a day he comes to ground To get some attention What I said, truth is worth more than pride Truth, it cannot be denied Truth is worth more than pride They have showered me with riches And they say that I am worthy of their love And their attention But they still don't know the truth Everything you do continues long after you've gone What I said, truth is worth more than pride Truth cannot be denied Truth is worth more than pride The view from the bed so high and lonely So high and lonely Truth is worth more than pride, hey hey View from the bed, so high and lonely, so high and lonely |

Tales from my head
Can't buy the book No one's listening but I guess you could Try whistling this You say you're tired Liquid as water But you'll succumb now as I stroke your back I'm the best that you know And every time you think of me I hope you think of true romance And every time you want to leave You give us both another chance Warmest welcome Violent stranger He said come here as he pushed me down Impossible to do In high heels walking into walls Ever wonder if you're here at all? Try whistling this And my words are ringing in you eyes Drawing your attention to all the thing that you ignore And if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space And if the god deserts us now I'll turn this chapel into flames And if someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place |

The hangman's in the noose
The prisoner is loose The wheel has come around And the velvet curtain coming down And left it there A suitcase on a chair I feel my weight And something tells me There's a river underground In a place where there's no one to be found And no one came to see The oldest show in town The oldest show in town The oldest show in town Santa's on the cross Innocence is lost The music's in your mind And the windscreen wipers move in time No one came to see The oldest show in town The oldest show in town And the stranger was a ghost The killer was a priest Took the first excuse Made the madness seem cute lipped On your own you'll find your own escape There are many ways to choose And I don't know which one you should take A home is all you want On the back of a truck driving down the street It doesn't seem so much But it's all you need to make your life complete No one came to see The oldest show in town The oldest show in town The oldest show in town No one came to see I lean the slightest bit towards you White turns into brown, light goes to black Your eyes danced in my reflection And the horse ate my trousers |

Somewhere deep inside something's got a hold on you
And it's pushin' me aside So you'd stretch on forever. Chorus: And I know I'm right For the first time in my life. That's why I'll tell you You better be home soon. Strippin' back the cause of lies and deception, Back to nothingness Like a week in the desert. Chorus Don't say no. Don't say nothin' wrong. When you get back home, Maybe I'll be gone. Go-o-one.. It would cause me pain if we were to end it But I could start again. You can depend on it. Chorus That's why I'll tell you. You better be home soon. |

Why do I scream for pleasure It's four in the morning should know better But she can weave a spell Want it to last forever Making me feel like somebody special Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again Though I look everywhere I never seem to find it Always a shadow around a corner Drown it in alcohol Stuck in the elevator Hard to remember in the morning Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again Tell you about myself If you're in the mood to listen Baby you don't know who you're kissing This is a lonely world You are a strange companion When you get what you wanted You want to leave Honestly I want to free myself From the burden of inaction Honestly I want to raise myself To any plane I can imagine Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again |

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

And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain You're hiding from me now There's something in the way that you're talking The words don't sound right But I hear them all moving inside you Go, I'll be waiting when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I fall |

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 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 the lives written on your face Can't fill the canyons of your mind Chorus Now you've changed and jumbled the pieces You've changed but you were better off before You talked to a roomful of strangers Here come the handmaidens of end time Chorus And all of your spells will break And all of your stars will fall So look out for number one Fame is in your blood |

Four Seasons In One Day - Crowded House
Four seasons in one day Lying in the depths of your imagination Worlds above and worlds below The sun shines on the black clouds Hanging over the domain Even when you're feeling warm The temperature could drop away Like four seasons in one day Smiling as the shit comes down You can tell a man from what he has to say Everything gets turned around And I will risk my neck again You can take me where you will Up the creek and through the mill Like all the things you can't explain Four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day It doesn't pay to make predictions Sleeping on an unmade bed Finding out wherever there is comfort There is pain Only one step away Like four seasons in one day Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day |

There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky Left her car by the river left her shoes beside Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ... Dreaming of glory Miles above the mountains and plains Free at last We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all She was coming to see him but something changed her mind Drove her down to the river There is no return There's a hole in the river where a memory lies From the land of the living to the air and sky She was coming to see him But something changed her mind, drove her down to the river There is no return |

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?

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 |

Out of this world to me My life Parted like the Red Sea We flowed Easy between the rocks and stones Never seemed to stop us The years Ended in confusion Don't ask me I don't know what happened But I am A man with a mission Must be the devil I don't know It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you Hurled from my home Into the unknown As I walk away from you Reveal whatever you desire To you it may be death defying Black day In the coldness of winter Black words Slipping off my tongue I say forget it--it's over As a dark cloud covered up the sun It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you The sun always sets With room for regrets As I walk away from you Give it to me Give it to me Your inspiration Give to receive Find all we need As I walk away Just a slave to ambition Tension your permanent condition So much you've always wanted Too much givin' you a sore head |

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 |

It never used to be that bad
But neither was it great Somewhere in the middle then Content and much too safe Oh tell me please Why it takes so long To realise when there's something wrong Chorus: Lay me out with your heart Now we're getting somewhere Push me back to the start Now we're getting somewhere Take me out let me breathe Now we're getting somewhere When I'm with you I don't care Where it is I'm falling There's money in the Bible Belt Hugs for daddy too Three wishes for eternity We've got some work to do Oh tell me please, tell me what went wrong Cos I believe there is something wrong Chorus When you took me to your room I swear I said surrender When you opened up your mouth I saw the words fall out Though nothing much has changed I swear I will surrender There is pain in me heart We can choose what we choose to believe |

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 |

Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin! He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken, To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin! His head smashed in and his heart cut out And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off And his pen Brave Sir Robin ran away, Bravely ran away, away. When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin. He is packing it in and packing it up And sneaking away and buggering up And chickening out and pissing off home, Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge. |

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're travelling with me Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us Don't ever let them win (Words and Music by Neil Finn Originally performed by Crowded House) |

Forget what I just said I'd crawl over broken glass If we could start again Before our plans were made When the world was young The house is falling down Because of my loose tongue Shouldn't say so much Shouldn't talk so loud No sooner on your lips Than it's all over town In all our given days How many gone to waste A good man has been hung Because of my loose tongue Your skin is changing its hue Your guard is coming down fast Looks like someone I knew Uncovered happiness at last All the wagging tongues Too much information In the future now Under massive doubt The papers on the street Get trampled under feet And they settled for a princely sum Goodwill is coming down And when it rains Your well is full |
