LAST ONE STANDING (Neil Finn) Hand me down my favourite coat
Show what you're made of, surprise us both Fly in the night, slow down town Brake too fast, bring us round, bring us round
And our finest days have come Summer nights go on so long So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed You're the last one standing
Lean and hungry with a fire in your eyes I'll play catch up, you can show me where it's at I'll go along with anything that you want to do
Everyday I'm making ground So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed When you come walking into my house I'll be the last one standing
If you want you can get there Night vision and I find your white doves Landing in your treasure towers And I promise that I won't look back Everyday we're making ground So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed
When you come walking into my house I'll be the last one standing
SOUVENIR (Neil Finn) Don't ask the question 'Cause you won't like the answer Got up off your chair There's nothing for you here Where the guests like souvenirs They play with you till you're all worn out Back where the guests like souvenirs
Prison colour blue It's a uniform of choice Count yourself lucky That you don't write the software And the guests like souvenirs
They play with you till you're all worn out Back where the guests take photographs
They hope you had a good night Loosen up your tie Make the viewers cry I cannot pretend to cry Memorise by heart Every single part There's nothing for you here Where the guests like souvenirs They play with you till you're all worn out Back where the guests like souvenirs They hope you had a good night
KING TIDE (LOW WORLD) (Neil Finn / Robert Moore) It's a dark and empty room
The sun beating hard on your door Feel emotion roar within you You're flesh and blood like anyone
Make some sense of your life Move your hand and make the mark I don't know why you're so confused You're flesh and blood, there's no excuse
And the hunger inside Won't go away it's starting to rise And the longer you hide The more you deny And the sea rushes in The wind is howling at your back The past is always overturned
It's a dead man who would refuse And twice the man to fill his shoes
And the hunger inside Won't go away it's starting to rise And the longer you hide The more you deny And the sea rushes in Into my world
TRY WHISTLING THIS (Neil Finn / Jim Moginie) Tales from my head I can't buy the book No-one's listening But I guess you could Try whistling this... You say you're tired
Liquid as water But you'll succumb now As I stoke your back 'Cos I'm the best that you know And every time you think of me I hope you think of true romance And every time you want to leave
You give us both another chance Warmest welcome, Violent stranger Well he said, "Come here" As he pushed me down Impossible to do In high heels Walking into walls Do you ever wonder If you're here at all? Well, try whistling this... And my words are ringing in your ear Drawing your attention now to all the things that you ignore And if I can't be with you I would rather have a different face And if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space
And if the gods desert us I would burn this chapel into flames And if someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place
SHE WILL HAVE HER WAY (Neil Finn) I might be old but I'm someone new, she said I'm so sore that I could cry always In the night lay your tired arms She will have her way Somehow I will still believe her She’s the life I've been frightened of Seems like deathly silence and especially the dark Feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died She will have her way Somehow I will still believe her She will have her way One day I will come back Still no end in sight Though I travel far and wide
A dying man is doing time Thinker, soldier terrified And she will have her way Somehow I will still believe her She will have her way One day I will come back
SINNER (Neil Finn / Marius de Vries) See it anyone got my eyes got my face Sing it everyone got my nose got my blood Conscience plays upon me now Safe until my luck runs out Cuckoos call, pendulum swings I thought you knew everything Lift my hands make the cross Sinner, I have never learned
Beginner, I cannot return Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier These things I should keep to myself But I feel somehow strangely compelled Under moonlight I stood wild and naked Felt no shame just my spirit awakened Sinner got my eyes got my face Fireball drop from the sky
All my dreams have come to pass Where's my faith - is it lost Can't see it till you cast it off Today I am still disconnected To the face that I saw in the clouds And the closest I get to contentment Is when all of the barriers come down
TWISTY BASS (Neil Finn) The hangman's in the noose The prisoner is loose The wheel has come around And the velvet curtain's coming down
I left it there A suitcase on a chair I feel my weight And something tellls me There's a river underground In a place where there's no one to be found
And no one came to see The oldest show in town
Santa's on the cross And innocence is lost The music's in your mind
And the windscreen wipers move in time
No one came to see The oldest show in town And the stranger was a ghost The killer was a priest Took the first excuse Made the madness seem cute lipped On your own you'll find there's no escape There are many ways to choose And I don't know which one you should take
A home is all you want On the back of a truck driving down the street It doesn't seem so much But it's all you need to make yor life complete
And no one came to see The oldest show in town
I lean the slightest bit towards you White turns into brown, light goes to black Your eyes danced in my reflection And the horse ate my trousers
LOOSE TONGUE (Neil Finn / Jim Moginie) Remember my loose tongue Forget what I just said I'd crawl over broken glass If we could start again Before our plans were made When the world was young The house is falling down
Because of my loose tongue
Shouldn't say so much Shouldn't talk so loud No sooner on your lips Than it's all over town In all our given days How many gone to waste A good man has been hung Because of my loose tongue
Your skin is changing it's hue Your guard is coming down fast Looks like someone I knew Uncovered happiness at last
All the wagging tongues Too much information In the future now Under massive doubt
The papers on the street Get trampled under feet And they settled for a princely sum Goodwill is coming down And when it rains Your well is full Well you shouldn't ask me, you shouldn't ask me, You want the real story, you shouldn't ask me, You better find someone else with the house key.
You know the pressure on his personal life, You know the man's walking on the edge of a knife, Tales keep going and nose keeps growing, And after sometime you forget what you know, Now I feel I'm getting caught with a psycho sycophant, Now it's feeling like a kid shouting tin can, Got the poor man nailed to the floor, And that's not nothing you want me for. 
TRUTH (Neil Finn / Jim Moginie) Remember who we are supple and new Lifting up your hand show me my rescue If I lose my way you'll tell me the truth for all it's worth What I said Truth is worth more than pride Truth is worth more than pride Everything you do continues long after you've gone Circle overhead the view from the bed so high and lonely Sixteen times a day he comes to ground to get some attention What I said
Truth is worth more than pride Truth is worth more than pride Truth is worth more than pride They have showered me with riches and they say that I am worthy of their love and their attention but they still don't know the truth Everything you do continues long after you've gone What I said It's worth more than pride Truth is worth more than pride Truth cannot be denied
ASTRO
(Neil Finn) You weightless astronaut
You sunset diving bird A cool wind set upon The branches of a tree
You hold at my attention You are my first impression And I can recognize The life that I've been given
One day they will discover you Low cloud moving cross the sky One day they will uncover you Young girl wash the sleep out of your eye
Dust on my piano Wool rest never sleeping All your best one-liners Borrowed from a film
The thing that gets to me is
How you'll never free him How the spirit yearns Your body is a prison
One day they will discover you Low cloud moving cross the sky One day they will uncover you
And the thing that gets to me Is how you'll never free it How the spirit yearns Your body is a prison
Bright is her eyes Wide in the night Why can't you see me Come with the wind Time to begin There'll be no compromise When all you want is wrapped around you
There's no saints, preserve us when we're dying To pick us up from where we're lying
One day they will discover you One day they will uncover you Bright is their eyes Wide in the night They will discover you They will discover you
DREAM DATE (Neil Finn)
Remove yourself from the past Wherever you are you don't have to stay Old and wise lion's eyes I wish you were here to give me advice Lightweight dream date Fly or fall it's my call In the club, halfway up Whisky at five, a weekend retreat Brave and young, the bells have rung They're playing the tune, I'm tapping my feet Lightweight dream date Fly or fall, it's my call
FASTER THAN LIGHT (Neil Finn)
Close your eyes go to sleep Close your eyes get so dizzy World is spinning in your bed I know where the sun goes
Gone to wake up the sparrows In England it's morning In time you'll see that some things Travel faster than light In time you'll recognise That love is larger than life
Now you know what you're missing Now you've seen that I'm willing If you look for the message Close your eyes Do you hear what I'm thinking Is it how you imagined In time you'll see that some things Travel faster than light In time you'll recognise That love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness Leaves without debt And bends the shape of things to come That haven't happened yet
Close your eyes, colours changing like a lizard I know where the sun goes I have seen the world turning In time you'll see that some things Travel faster than light In time you'll recognise that love is larger than life And praise will come to those whose kindness Leaves you without debt And bends the shape of things to come That haven't happened yet
ADDICTED (Neil Finn) Hear the words a jumble try this tongue twister Kevin has a caterpillar squeezed between his fingers
See the mailman come let's see what he delivers And you wait and it makes you feel strange As if you were afraid And you lie with a look to the side And you say I was addicted to the drug But I know when I've had enough
Could curl up and sleep on the floor But now I'm riding the train a hundred miles an hour Seems like this train might never stop ooh
Watching static on the television When the morning comes And you wait and it makes you feel strange
As if you were deranged And you lie with a look to the side And you say I was addicted to the drug But I know when I've had enough
So far, we've come so far |
