I AM IN LOVE (Neil Finn) Coming out to prove my love
You reply by getting defensive
Coming out to prove my love
Now you should be able to sense it I'm full of your dreams
I let you sleep with the lights on
Stay with me, might as well
Be the kind of girl you want to be I am in love
I am in love
I am a fool
Fell from above These things that I have done
They would be a test of anyone
How am I meant to see
You dressed up like your mother They say you marry your father
I hope that don't reflect on me
They say you marry your mother
I hope that don't put you in her company I am in love
I am in love
And I am a fool
There is no other
I am in love
I am in love Wanna say, don't lie
But it's enough to make you wonder
I can't be one that you wanna trust
And not the one that you wanna trample
In the dust I am in love
I am in love
And I am a fool
There is no other
I am in love
I am in love
Into the fire
Tears start coming
Good stars surround us
It's enough to wanna make you wonder
SACRED COW (Neil Finn) Deliberate provocation is what you gave to me
You got me going, you got me going
How could such a simple thing get so out of control
You let me down again, let me down again I know my place inside your heart
A painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you’re not mysterious now
But I don’t worship that sacred cow Am I here, am I here, am I here yet
You’d never know it, you never know it
Went home in a jealous rage
You were rolling on the grass in a younger age
You’re too good for me, I know you’re too good for me ‘Cause I have seen inside your heart
Religious figures that glow in the dark
No, you’re not too precious now
And I don’t worship that sacred cow
Go, try as you may
You get short shift on Judgement Day You let me down again, let me down again I know my place inside your heart
A painted figure that glows in the dark
No, you’re not too precious now
And I don’t worship that sacred cow
Go, try as you may
You get short shift on Judgement Day Sacred cow
Judgement day, come your way
YOU CAN TOUCH (Neil Finn) It could spell my mere defeat
You could find it's what you need
And tears will fall and oceans will rise
I feel the fear and I know I'm alive And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die
My condition is hard to define
I'm feeling pale and I need to unwind
See no future from where I stand
For the present I am in your hands And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die And tears will fall and oceans will rise
I feel the fear and I know I'm alive
It's only passing through
HELP IS COMING (Neil Finn) Help is coming; I heard a whisper.
Whitecaps turning. A breath of summer
Distant drumming, and lyre birds calling. Escape ... the anguish of our past.
And pray. Empires crumbling. The careless winter.
Fear is running no longer with us.
We sail tomorrow for Ellis Island. Escape ... the anger of our past.
And pray that peace will come at last.
And dream... Dreams - the anger of our past
And pray that peace will come at last and stay. Help is coming. Help is coming.
We sail tomorrow for Ellis Island. Dreams come true.
I LOVE YOU DAWN (Neil Finn) I love you Dawn, you understand
The strength of ten men in your hands
It was another time, it was another place
All is not lost and gone to waste Beneath the tall trees I believe
There's nothing you and me
Can't do together if we try
The day is long and the nights are cold
Just a song to warm your soul
I don't want to see you cry I love you Dawn, you understand
The strength of ten men in your hands
It was another tear, it was another time
All is not lost, and we will shine Above the billboards and the hoards,
Magazines and rock awards
We can afford to pay our bills
The day is long and the nights are cold
Just a song to warm your soul
I don't want to see you cry
I love you Dawn, you understand
The strength of ten men in your hands
It was another tear, another year, another time
All is not lost, and we will shine 
DR. LIVINGSTON (Neil Finn) Steam ship, sail down the river
fight the mosquitoes that fly in a swarm
white smoke covers the jungle
see Dr. Livingston land with a thunk down where the sad willows gather
young women weep for their dying babies
I am a white man in Africa
if I were to stay here
there'd be no one to save me I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I hear survival in his hands
Switch to record
I get the picture
But I will never understand Mad world, invisible armies
blow up the bridges and come like a storm
young girl, eyes full of promise
carry the baby and keeping it warm down where the sad willows gather
young men go down on their knees
I am a white man in Africa
with more than just my god to appease there is love in his face
'midst all disgrace
in the Mozambique sun
under the gun I hear the drums
I hear survival in his hands
I hear the drums
there is a curse upon this land
Carry the sound and the fury
left all alone in a war zone
carry the sound and the fury Hours later, thoughts of my bed
leave me tired and ready for sleep
so tell me about all the places you go
all the lives that you swallow, the people you keep
deep in a monastery
that's where I want to be
wrestle my soul...
MY TELLY’S GONE BUNG (Paul Hester)
My telly’s gone bung
What am I to do about the ABC tonight?
My telly’s gone bung
What am I to do about my predicament?
My telly’s gone bung
I plugged it in and it turned me off again I’m waiting off for you
To come alive and bring some truth back to me
‘cause I’m where I wanna be
In front of my TV My telly’s gone bung
What am I to do about Kylie and Jason now?
My telly’s gone bung
I don’t really care about their predicament? I’m waiting off for you
To come alive and bring some truth back to me
‘cause I’m where I wanna be
In front of my TV If it was up to me
I’d let these people see what people do
I’ve been watching you too
LESTER (Neil Finn) Saw my life go flashing past
In the eyes of a faithful friend
Four legs for life
And the screeching tires never seem to end I will change if Lester lives
Not mess him 'round
Just 'cause I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck, strong bones You made me clench my teeth
Us humans ain't no dignity
Eat my plans and steal my things
You're the head of security I will change if Lester lives
Not mess him 'round
Just 'cause I own him
He was nearly wiped away
But he had good luck, strong bones
Inside and behind him
RECURRING DREAM (Neil Finn, Craig Hooper, Nick Seymour, Paul Hester) Within myself
There are a million things
Spilling over
Rushing out into a silent scream Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows, wipe them clean
It's my recurring dream Within myself
A secret world returns
Over and over
Where a white flame of desire burns Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows, wipe them clean
It's my recurring dream
ANYONE CAN TELL (Neil Finn) I dream of a place that's hedged with roses
With a man in the middle don't talk in riddles
You get hung on every single word
Some call it high, some call it low
And I hear about things you don't want to know
But the truth is still a valuable thing
Don't get caught with your pants down baby
This world's a criminal thing
There is another world waiting
But anyone can tell
Anyone can tell
Anyone can tell that I'm not lying
You can hide your face
Pull it into shades
'Cause you can't escape the lie forever
I dream of a place that's overrun by children
And the lord is in the kitchen
Do your work and you'll get your rewards
'Cause what you are is all that really matters
What is left you can easily scatter
On the ground a head covered in mud
Don't step on my principles baby
In spite of what you have done
One day you will have the wisdom
I will tell you everything straight
Anyone can tell that I'm not lying
You can hide your face
You can change your shape
'Cause you can escape the lie forever
Anyone can tell
Anyone can tell
LEFT HAND (Neil Finn) It was typical of you
To give it to me plain
The sign on your door
Said “Make your mind up or go away”
It was difficult for me
To single you out Left hand wants to know what the right is doing
Tell me a way we was out on something, we’re free
There is one thing we’re not facing. It was typical of you
To feather your nest
I tried to explain
But me and my big mouth were laid to rest
There’s nowhere to go
I’m not hanging around Left hand, bring me up and then put me down
Yeah, put me down Left hand wants to know what the right is doing
Tear away, we was out on something, we’re free
There is one thing we’re not facing.
TIME IMMEMORIAL (Neil Finn)
Starting the way that you want to go on
Tear down the fence that you sit upon
It was good while it lasted but now it has gone
So face up to what you have done For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you take away all your cameras The house that we live in is falling apart
There’s no guarantee ‘cause we got it for free
And all the pretenders to somebody’s throne
Are fighting it out on their own For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your problems
And I will go everywhere you say
If you don’t charge admission Okay, we’re lucky, but then again... For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
Just tell me the sure secrets of your house
And I will know everything you say
Take away all the cameras, the cameras
And I will go anywhere you say
If you don’t charge admission, admission
