She came all the way from America
Had a blind date with destiny And the sound of Te Awamutu Had a truly sacred ring Now her parents are divorced And her friend's committing suicide I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me So I talked to you for an hour In the bar of a small town hotel You asked me what I was thinking I was thinking of a padded cell With a black and white T.V. To stop us from getting lonely I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me No, I could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door You know what it means to me I saw you lying in the arms of a poet I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies (about me) Well whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know I could not escape You're down on the floor You know what it means to me I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door Mean ... You know what it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means |

Here's someone now whose got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain Expert in bed but come on now There must be something missing That golden one leads a double life You'll find out But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live So here we lie against each other These four walls can never hold us We're looking for wide open spaces High above the kitchen And we're strangers here On our way to some other place But I don't know where you go Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live The world where you live When friends come round You might remember and be sad Behind their eyes is unfamiliar Do you climb into space To the world where you live The world where you live ... |

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 When you come to cover me with your kisses Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like rain of blood to my emotions Chorus: And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know I could never let you down 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 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 (chorus) She came out of the water Into my horizon Like a cumulo nimbus Coming in from a distance Burning and exploding Burning and exploding Like a slow volcano When you come Cover the ground with ashes When you come |

Private Universe - Crowded House
No time, no place to talk about the weather the promise of love is hard to ignore who said the chance wasn't getting any better the labor of love is ours to endure the highest branch on the apple tree it was my favorite 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? a whole lot more I'm thinking of every night about six o'clock birds come back to the pond to talk they talk to me - birds to talk to me if I go down on my knees *Repeat 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 time is on the table and the dinner's cold I will run for shelter endless summer lift the curse it feels like nothing matters in our private universe......... |

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 |

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call 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 |

Dull, dull grey
The colour of our times Cool, cool space That I still hope to find Far beyond the veil The sound of whispers and moans Slow, time bomb The clamour of the street I hear this town It never goes to sleep And I will catch the taxi driver Weeping like a wounded beast Then I wake up in your room To share one piece of your life When tomorrow comes we may not be here at all Without your whispers and moans cos here you come to carry me home Here you come to carry me home Love that sound Time erase Tension wheels Cool heels Wont ya come on open the bid fore too long Then I wake up in your room To share one piece of your life Id give anything to be a fly upon the wall And hear your whispers and moans Id like to hear your whispers and moans Here you come to carry me We are the mirrors Are the mirrors of each other in a lifetime of suspicion Cleansed in a moment of recognition You gave your life for it Worth its weight in gold And growing empires and art collectors And alans sound investments Will one day be forgotten One day be forgotten, yeah. |

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 |

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. |

Pineapple Head
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 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 thought it was about time something newer than Woodface was
put into the archive. The first single from the new "probably-better-than-Woodface-after-all" album : 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 When your words devour my heart And put me to shame, put me to shame [Chorus: 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 learnt Waiting for the thrill to return Feeling your desire burn And drawn to the flame [Chorus] 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 will collide Whenever I am by your side Dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone As time slips by And your mind And your mind As time slips by |

Locked Out - 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 what do you do? I know that I will have you in the end And the clouds they're 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 Twin valleys shine 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 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 like bees in the honey every night I circle like the moon it's an act of simple devotion but it can take forever when you've got something to prove I've been locked out.... |

Walking 'round the room singing
Stormy Weather at 57 Mt. Pleasant St. Now it's the same room but everything's different You can fight the sleep but not the dream Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen Strange affliction wash over me Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire Couldn't conquer the blue sky There's a small boat made of china Going nowhere on the mantlepiece Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard Or do I sing like a bird released Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you |

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 |

Can you imagine this
An itch to sensitive to scratch The light that falls through the cracks An insect to 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 From beneath the dying waves To the sun like 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. |

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 |
