CHOCOLATE CAKE (Neil Finn, Tim Finn) 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 Bakker'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
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 Bakker must be losing her faith
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 are shooting by
With no number plates
And here 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 Bakker, Tammy Bakker ...
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 
IT'S ONLY NATURAL (Neil Finn / Tim Finn) 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
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
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 circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky
And we don't even have to try
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 circumstantial, it's something I was born to
It's only natural, can't help it if I want to
FALL AT YOUR FEET (Neil Finn) 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
TALL TREES (Neil Finn) Watch out big ships are waiting
Salt frozen on your cheek
Saw a girl and boy arriving
And a steamer put out to sea Tall trees stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance Sun sleeps on misty morning
Light years from channel 3
I feel halfway to zero
Call me a hero I might just agree
And the roses you grow
Have a powerful scent
They'll be breaking your heart
By the morning
WEATHER WITH YOU (Neil Finn, Tim Finn) 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
It’s 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
WHISPERS AND MOANS (Neil Finn) 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
Share one piece of your life
When tomorrow comes
We may not be here at all
Without your whispers and moans
Here you come to carry me home Love that sound, time erase
Tension wheels, cool heels
Won't ya come on open the bid before too long I wake up in your room
Share one piece of your life
I'd give anything to be a fly upon the wall
And hear your whispers and moans
I like to hear your whispers and moans
Here you come to carry me home We are the mirrors of each other
In a lifetime of suspicion
Cleansed in a moment, a flash of recognition
You gave your life for it
Worth its weight in gold and growing empires
Art collectors and Alan's sound investments
Will one day be forgotten, one day be forgotten
YEAH!
FOUR SEASONS IN ONE DAY (Song for Melbourne) (Neil Finn, Tim Finn) 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
THERE GOES GOD (Neil Finn, Tim Finn)
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 ‘Cos I'd like to believe there is a god
Why sinful angels suffer for love
I'd like to believe
In the terrible truth in the beautiful lie Like to 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 Hey don't look now - there goes God
In his sexy pants and his sausage dog
And he can't stand Beelzebub
‘Cos he looks so good in black, in black Akustische Version:
FAME IS (Neil Finn) 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 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 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 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
ALL I ASK (Neil Finn, Tim Finn)
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Take the road forgotten
Don't leave me here
Oh please let me stray
Far from familiar things All I ask is to live each moment
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Strange roads going nowhere in particular
All I ask is to live each moment
All I ask is to live each moment
Free from the last
Free from the last
All I ask
AS SURE AS I AM (Neil Finn) Make your decision now
Rely on no help from above
Living is luxury
I want everything you throw out
I'll do anything you want to
Please let me go with you
I'll wear the smile on your face
Big black and beautiful
I want it, everything you throw out
There must be something you can do without I am as sure as I am
And I couldn't care less for what might go wrong
And I'm happy as sin in a fear shaken world I pity the rhino
Down there it's becoming extinct
Killed for a love potion
Sad thing looking like a dead flower
I want it, everything that you throw out I'll wear the smile on your face
ITALIAN PLASTIC (Paul Hester) 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 When you wake up with me
I'll be your glass of water
When you stick up for me
Then you're my Bella Bambina I say we're on a trip
Looks like we're on vacation
I say we're having fun
In our little constellation Then I'll be your Bella Bambino, your man on the moon,
I'll be your little boy running with that egg on his spoon,
I'll be your soul survivor, your worst wicked friend,
I'll be your piggy in the middle, stick with you till the end
SHE GOES ON (Neil Finn) 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 as 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
Colouring the sky
And painting ladders to heaven
And she goes on and on In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
And I always will remember
In a world without end
HOW WILL YOU GO (Neil Finn, Tim Finn) 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
Your dreams are alcohol inspired
You can't find a better way to face it And you know I'll be fine
Just don't ask me how it's going
Gimme time, gimme time
‘Cos I want you to see
Round the world round the world
Is a tangled up necklace of pearls
I'M STILL HERE (Neil Finn, Paul Hester) I'm still here, I won't go away
I'm still here, I'm gonna rain on your parade
I'm still here, it's getting late
Well, I'm still hanging round keeping my fingers crossed
I still wanna get laid
