KARE KARE (Neil Finn, Tim Finn, Paul Hester, Mark Hart, Nick Seymour) I was standing on a wave
then I made the drop
I was lying in a cave
in the solid rock
I was feeling pretty brave
till the lights went off
sleep, by no means comes too soon
in a valley lit by the moon we left a little dust on his persian rug
we gathered up our clothes got the washing done
in a long forgotten place who'll be the first to run sleep, by no means comes too soon
in a valley lit by the moon I was floating on a wave
then I made the drop
I was climbing up the walls
waiting for the band to stop
you can say the magic words
I got my sensors on
and this is the only place
that I always run from sleep, by no means comes too soon
in a valley lit by the moon 
IN MY COMMAND (Neil Finn) standing in a deep dark hole
beneath the sky as black as coal
it's just a fear of losing control
you know so well
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 here the call
you know so well I would love to trouble you in your time of need
lose your way,
it's a pleasure when you're in my command
put on your wings, you're not responsible for everything desolate in anger or safe in isolation
you're about to be the victim of a holy visitation
by the rights that I've been given put on your wings, you're not responsible for anything
I would love to trouble you in your time of need
lose your way, it's a pleasure when you're in my command
NAILS IN MY FEET (Neil Finn) my life is a house
you crawl through the window
slip across the floor and into the reception room
you enter the place of endless persuasion
like a knock on the door
when there's ten or more things to do who was that calling
you my companion
run to the water on a burning beach
and it brings me relief pass through the walls
to find my intentions
circle round in a strange hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
a million points of light in a conversation I can't face cast me off one day
to lose my inhibitions
sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
wear the nails in your feet I woke up the house
stumbled in sideways
the lights went on and everybody screamed surprise
the savage review
it left me gasping
but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too total surrender
your touch is so tender
your skin is like water on a burning beach
and it brings me relief in the back door
under the stars
and the ceiling is my floor
in the back room
under the stars
and scenery is my floor
BLACK AND WHITE BOY (Neil Finn) black and white boy, black and white boy
you're so extreme, you're so confused
now colour me in, whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you and you're full of the wonder of spring
it's all sweetness and light that you bring
and a room full of people all fall to your infinite charm
but when darkness should quickly descend
you go quietly my miserable friend
to the depths of dispair you will crawl
black and white boy black and white boy
you're so extreme, I'm so confused
colour me in whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you when you shake off the shadows of night
and your eyes are so clear and so bright
you'll make fools of the liars and creeps
put a rose in my cheeks
but when demons have climbed on your back
you're vicious and quick to attack
and you put on a wonderful show
do you really, really thing I don't know
black and white boy and you run like a cat to the cream
and you're acting so nice it's obscene
you put on a wonderful show
do you really really think I don't know
black and white boy
FINGERS OF LOVE (Neil Finn) can you imagine that
an itch too 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 it's own reward
colour is it's 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 helped
fingers of love move everywhere
and there is time yet
to fall by the way
from the cradle to the grave
from the palace to the gutter beneath the dying waves of the sun
lie the fingers of loveinto 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 helped
fingers of love move everywhere
and there is time yet
for you to find me
and all at once
fingers of love move down
PINEAPPLE HEAD (Neil Finn)
detective is flat, no longer is always flat out
got the number of getaway car
didn't get very far
as lucid as hell and these images
movin 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 inflame you sleeping alone for pleasure
the pineapple head it spins and 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
I will play you like a shark
and I'll clutch at your heart
come flying like a spark to inflame you sleeping alone for pleasure
the pineapple head it spins and it spins
like a number I hold
if she was my friend
it was a long time ago and if you choose to take that path
will you come to make me pay
I will play you like a shark
and I'll will clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark to inflame you
LOCKED OUT (Neil Finn) I been locked out
I 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 that's as remote as a mansion
you escape into a place where nothing moves
and I been locked out
and I know we're through
but I can't begin to face up to the truth
and I wait so long for the walls to crack
but I know that I'll 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 alterpiece I'm praying to for the
living and the dead twin valleys shine in the morning sun
I sent the message out to my only one I 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'll one day have you back
and I work with the bees and the honey
and every night I circle like a moon
and it's an act of simple devotion
but it can take forever
when you've got something to prove I been locked out
PRIVATE UNIVERSE (Neil Finn) no time no place to talk about the weather
the promise of love is hard to ignore
you said the chance wasn't getting any better
labour of love is ours to endure
the highest branch on the apple tree
it was my favourite place to be
I could hear them braking 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
there's a whole lot more I'm thinking of
every night about six o'clock
the birds come back to the palm to talk
they talk to me, birds talk to me
if I go down on my knees I will run for shelter
endless summer lift the curse
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
love is on the table and the dinner's cold
WALKING ON THE SPOT (Neil Finn) at odd times we slip
slither down the dark hole
fingers point from old windows
an eerie shadow falls
I'm walking on the spot
to show that I'm alive
movin every bone in my body
from side to side will we be in our minds
when the dawn breaks
can we look the milkman in the eye
the world is somehow different
you have all been changed
before my very eyes you walk around your home
pour yourself a drink
fire one more torpedo baby
watch the kitchen sink
lounging on the sofa maybe
see the living room die
the dishes are unwashed and broken
all you do is cry will we be in our minds
when the dawn brakes
can we look the milkman in the eye
the world is somehow different
you have all been changed
before my very eyes
DISTANT SUN (Neil Finn) 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
where your words devour my heart
and put me to shame, put me to shame when your seven worlds collide
whenever I am by your side
and dust from a distant sun
will shower over everyone 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
easy to forget what you learn
waiting for the thrill to return
feeling your desire burn
as you're drawn to the flame when your seven worlds collide
whenever I am by your side
and dust from a distant sun
will shower over everyone and I'm lying on a table
washed out in a flood
like a christian fearing vengeance from above
I don't pretend to know what you want
but I offer love and seven worlds collide
whenever I am by your side
and dust from a distant sun
will shower over everyone
CATHERINE WHEELS (Neil Finn, Tim Finn, Nick Seymour) no night to stay in
bad moon is rising again
dice rolls and you burn
come down I fear
as that cold wheel turns
I know what I know
sad Claude's been sleeping around
to stroke the right nerve
whose needs do I serve
as Catherine's wheel turns she was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on go kindly with him
to his blind apparition
whose face creases up
with age gone grey
you'll be back here some day she was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on she's gone vanished in the night
broke off the logic of life
woke tore the covers back
found he was empty inside
they were told when the moon would rise
best time to leave with your soul
she's gone, gone towards the light
watching her whole life unfold bruises come up dark so strong was his hold on her
regarded by some as his slave
he spoke as in a stranger's tongue
despair us and drive you away, oh
bruises come up dark
SKIN FEELING (Paul Hester) I like that smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the pigment in your skin
I like the way it moves me
I like kids when they're asleep
their little arms around you
I like the way we play games
don't lose that skin feeling I'm looking old I'm feeling young
it's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
with this hungry girl I like Black and I like Red
I like that orange circle
I like the things that you said
when you were misbehaving
I like people on tv
but no-one looks like me
I love you & you love me
don't lose that skin feeling I like the pigment in your skin
I like the way it moves me
I like that smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the things that you said
when you were misbehaving
I love you and you love me
don't lose that skin feeling
TOGETHER ALONE (Neil Finn, Mark Hart, Bud Wehi) Together alone
above and beneath
we were as close
as anyone can be
now you are gone
far away from me
as is once will always be
together alone Anei ra maua (here we are together)
E piri tahi nei (in a very close embrace)
E noha tahi nei (being together)
Ko maua anake (just us alone) Kei runga a Rangi (Rangi the sky father is above)
Ko papa Kei raroi (the earth mother is below)
E noha tahi nei (our love for one another)
Ko maua anake (is everlasting) together alone
shallow and deep
holding our breath
paying death no heed
still your friend
when you are in need
as is once will always be
earth and sky
moon and sea
