I never knew what a man was supposed to be
I never wanted the responsibility I still remember what they tried to make of me They used to wonder what they couldn't get through to me, 'Cauce all that I had as this music A-coming to me And all that I had was this rhythm A-running through me. I took a tip from the man in the ministry He said, ";My son, better work in the factory"; Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly I saw myself winding up in the military So lucky to have all this music A-coming to me I'm lucky to have all this rhythm A-running through me I'm watching the movie go down Around, about me I'm watching the marry-go-round Go down about me. I said, ";Lovers, you're needed in the garden 'Cauce there's a lot of crazy people Who've forgotten where their heart is And they don't give a damn About hurting those flowers and those trees."; C'est le bon, sailing on and on... Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly I saw myself winding up in the monastery 'Cauce all that I have is this music A-coming to me And all that I have is this rhythm A-running through me I'm watching the movie go down Around, about me I'm watching the marry-go-round Go down about me. I said, ";Lovers, you're needed in the garden 'Cauce there's a lot of crazy people Who've forgotten where their heart is And they don't give a damn About hurting that small child in me."; C'est le bon, sailing on and on... |

Here’s a little song to make you feel good Put a little light in your day These are crazy times And it’s all been getting pretty serious Here’s a little song to make you feel right Send the blues away Well it’s a crazy game Tell me who’s to blame, I’m kind of curious. Right if you win, wrong if you lose Nobody listens when you’re singing the blues Well something’s the matter, but nothing gets done Oh everyone’s waiting for a place in the sun Well something is wrong now Can something be wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be so crazy... Gimme little left, gimme little right Gimme little black, gimme little white Gimme little peace, gimme little hope Gimme little light ’cause you know it seems that the situation’s getting serious. Right if you win, wrong if you lose Nobody listens when you’re singing the blues Well something’s the matter, but nothing gets done There’s no use in waiting for a place in the sun ’cause something is wrong now Can something be wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be so crazy... Oh something is wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be this crazy...

Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain With my back against the wall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out with nowhere to go As the shadows start to fall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out on this lonely road As the wind begins to howl Don't leave me now Don't leave me now All alone on this darkest night Feeling old and cold and grey Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me holding an empty heart As the curtain starts to fall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now All alone in this crazy world When I'm old and cold and grey And time is gone |

Did you get all you want? Did you see the whole show? So where’s all the fun That we used to know? As the memories fade Way out of view I’d love those old days To come back to you I’ve been waiting so long I’m not feeling so strong Did you say what you mean? Did you mean what you say? About this new scene Is it really that way? But the blindness goes on You say it’s not so But what do you know? I’ve been waiting so long I’m not feeling so strong Ain’t nothing new, it’s just the same old thing You got me singing those old blues again Angry music, words of fire Painted faces filled with rage Even then they sound so tired I must be set in my old ways If this world is unimpressive It’s been that way for quite awhile I don’t need no heavy message Just turn me on and make me smile Yes I’ve been waiting such a long time Just for something to ring true Now I’d rather taste the old wine Than mess around with something new And the blindness goes on The blindness goes on

And it's so big and it's gonna burst All you people with your heads in the ground Hey brother, where you bound? And they're no good and they're everywhere Try to tell you but you just don't care Yes I hear you but you don't make a sound Hey brother, where you bound? Hey brother, where you bound? And you don't know, what they're gonna do? And you don't know, how they feel? And you don't know, what they're tellin' you?

Believe nothing that you're told Make a move in one direction, try to make some compromise But they greet you with rejection, making out you're telling lies Then they turn around and tell you, better get down from the sky For the sake of all that's holy, listen good to what I say I can feel them all around me, they could be here any day But you act like you don't know me, why do you look at me that way? If there's one thing that is clear, we gotta get away from here We've gotta leave this place, it's just a hopeless case Ain't no one else to blame, we're gonna lose this game Hey brother get off my back, I gotta tell you, you're way off the track They got a hatred deep down inside Ain't gonna let them take me alive I'm gonna burn them down, just wait and see Ain't gonna let them, walk over me Boy, you ain't got no heart and soul And your mind is weak and your blood's running cold You better move, you better hide They're getting in, they're getting inside If you get caught, you better know They're gonna reap, you're gonna sow Don't be a fool, we gotta go Ain't no place safe for us to stay We better move on, we better move on We better move on, we better move on We better move on, we better move on |

It isn't broken, it can't be broken Life's just a show for free Come along and watch with me The only sins are words unspoken Words unspoken, never spoken Sweet things come and go Give me shame, I'll give you wow To live for love isn't so easy It isn't easy, it won't be easy! How all good men try, Look around and wonder why Can they shape this world to please me Can they please me, should they please me? I follow but maybe you'll correct me I wish you'd never met me For I am your gentle man I follow and while you watch and wonder I call my world a sundown And show you who I am Send me a gentle dream of love so strange it's never seen And proof how such a love can happen It can happen, make it happen Fine things tumble down Fade away without a sound But hope must never end or slacken Never slacken, never slacken I follow but maybe you'll correct me I wish you'd never met me I am your gentle man I follow and while you watch and wonder I call my world a sundown And show you who I am |

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. |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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?

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 |

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'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 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 |

Just hoping that we'll get along There's no communication left between us But is it me or you who's to blame?

You say you're havin' fun, But you're busy going nowhere, Just lying in the sun. You tried to be a hero, commit the perfect crime but the dollar got you dancing and you're running out of time. You're messin' up the water You're rolling in the wine You're poisoning your body You're poisoning your mind You gave me coca-cola You said it tasted good You watch the television It tell you that you should. How can you live in this way? You must have something to say. There must be more to this life. It's time we did something right. Child of Vision, won't you listen? Find yourself a new ambition. I've heard it all before You're saying nothing new I thought I saw a rainbow But I guess it wasn't true You cannot make me listen I cannot make you hear You find your way to heaven, I'll meet you when you're there. How can you live in this way? You must have something to say. We have no reason to fight, cos we both know that we're right. Child of Vision, won't you listen? Find yourself a new ambition. |

It's just heartbreaking
I should have known that it would let me down It's just a mind aching I used to dream about this town It was a sight to see The place to be, Where the living is easy And the kicks can always be found It's such a shame about it I used to think that it would feel so good But who's to blame about it So many creeps in Hollywood I'm in this dumb motel Nea the 'Taco Bell' Without a hope in hell I can't believe that I'm still around Ain't nothin new in my life today Ain't nothing true it's all gone away I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief I'm tired of talking on the telephone They're trying to tell me that they're not at home Ain't nothing new in my life today I'm tired of walking from place to place I've yet to come across a friendly face And now the words sound familiar, as them slam the door "You're not what we're looking for." Ain't nothing new in my life today Ain't nothing true it's all gone away If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you It was a heartbreaking Now I ride in the big fine car It was mind aching I'm the talk of the boulevard So keep your chin up boy Forget the pain I know you'll make it If you try again There's no use in quitting When the world is waiting for you |

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
I need to find a silent place that I can call my own Is it mine, Lord is it mine? When everything's dark and nothing seems right, there's nothing to win and there's no need to fight I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land but it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand Is it mine, Lord is it mine? When everything's dark and nothing seems right, You don't have to win and there's no need to fight If only I could find a way to feel your sweetness through the day The love that shines around me could be mine. So give us an answer, won't you, We know what we have to do, There must be a thousand voices trying to get through. |

So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery all the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been, if you'd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home........... |

When I was young,
it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. |

So many years have come and gone since then
Still i can't forget the past But you and me, we'll surelt meet again And maybe find the truth at last And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me Well i believe, that fate will find a way To guide us through these restless years And yes i know, that we'll speak one day With no more doubts and no more fears And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me So tell me now, if you can share my view Tell me where your comin' from We've both had time, time to think it through To know just where we both belong And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me |

I went back my home town
To the school and walked around And the way it felt Seemed just like yesterday From the cradle to the grave Some say we never change No matter how we try We try to rearrange And like father so like son It's as if wife we're both as one Just as if our fate was... it was pre-ordained In some countries far from here You know the one's we used to fear Are they waiting to return to Those old evil ways You can take a correspondence course Be single, married or divorced You can psychoanalyze your brain But you know some things will never change And what will all those people do When Russia starts anew They'll just stand in line All under a different name You can listen to those brainwash tapes Take a Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist faith But I'm sure it's gonna be in vain 'Cos you know some things will never change And if their theories all come true Then there's nothin' we can do Where the future lies Well it's not to hard to tell But after all is said and done And the world lives as one You can bid those old taboo's A fond fare well Yes a long fare well A very long fare well |

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

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 |

You came
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 |

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 |

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil It's bigger than us You don't have to worry about it Ready or not, here comes the drop You feel lucky when you know where you are Y'know, it's gonna come true Here in your arms, I remember It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's easy when you don't try going on first impressions Man in a cage has made his confession Now, you've seen me at my worst And it won't be the last time I'm down there I want you to know I feel completely at ease Read me like a book That's fallen down between your knees Please, let me have my way with you It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's circumstantial It's nothing written in the sky And we don't even have to try But we'll be shaking like mud Buildings of glass Sink into the bay They'll be under the rocks again You don't have to say I know you're afraid It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too It's circumstantial It's something I was born to It's only natural Can I help it if I want to? |

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 |

Gonna pedal my faith The wheels are still turning round, turn round So maybe the day will come When you'll never have to feel no pain After all my complaining Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love Here's something that you can do Even if you think that I hate you Stop your complaining Leave me defenseless When you love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love this life, though you'll never know why Gonna love this life, gonna love |

There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day I want to drag them out, go for a walk Just to see the look that's on your face Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax I'm talking to myself you're coming with me Teaching you how to distort the facts Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain All makes me glad of you Though I am far away I am always with you Know the answer before you know the question Pull yourself together, baby, push with all you might I'm all alone, always alone Though I am far away I am always with you |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Now, you're heading down to get someone
Should've done what he had to do years ago The position is coming through All the people that you're standing on All the people that you're standing on Now, you're heading down to be someone Someone that you've seen in a magazine Your premonition is coming true Oh, baby, you're not so green No, baby, you're not so green No, baby, you're nutso CHORUS Sister madly waking up the dead Systematically stepping on my head 'Cause sister madly waking up the dead Systematically stepping on my head Now, you're heading down to find something Something that you buried in your backyard The position is coming through From all the dirt that you're digging up From all the dirt that you're digging up Now, you're heading down to be somewhere Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream The opposition is coming through From all the people that you're standing on From all the people that you're standing on And now, you'd better take a firm hand CHORUS Now, you're heading down to get someone Someone that you should've had years ago The position is coming through All the people that you're standing on All the people that you're standing on You're hard to get a hand on CHORUS |
