Crowded House Album

Called out to prove my love
You reply by getting defensive
Called out o 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

What I say is 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

Deliberate provocation
I 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
You let me down again

I know my place inside your heart
The painted figure that glows in the dark
No you're not mysterious now
I don't worship that sacred cow

In my head
In my head
In my head

You'd never know it
You'd never know it

I went home in a jealous rage
You were rolling on the glass in a younger age
You know what's good for me
I know you're too good for me

Cos I have seen inside your heart
Religious figues that glow in the dark
No you're not too precious now
And I don't worship that sacred cow

Go and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day

You let me down again
You let me down again

I know my place inside your heart
The painted figure that glows in the dark
No you're not too precious now
I don't worship that sacred cow

Go and try as you may
To get a sharp shift on Judgement Day

Sacred Cow
Judgement Day
Coming Your Way

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 thin and 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

And you can touch me
I won't hide
You can touch me
I won't die

You can touch
I won't die

(Neil Finn / Nick Seymour / Mark Hart / Peter Jones)

Help is coming
I heard a whisper
White caps turning the breath of summer
Distant drumming
Lire birds calling
Escape the anguish of our past
And pray
Empires crumbling
The Callous 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
Release 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
Help is coming
Dreams come true
We'll sail tomorrow
Dreams come true
Help is coming.

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

Beneath the billboards and the hordes
Magazines and rock awards
We can't 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

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 army
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

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

How there is love in his face
'Midst of all this waste
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

I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I hear survival in his hands
Hit record
Get the picture
I will never understand

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

(Paul Hester)

My telly's gone bung
What am I do about the ABC tonight
My telly's gone bung
What am I to do about my predicament
My tellys gone bung
I plugged it in and it turned me off again
I've waited up for you to come alive and bring
some truth back to me
Cause I'm where I want to 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 for their predicament
I've waited up 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
I've waited up for you to come alive and bring some truth back to me
Cause I'm where I wanna be
In front of my TV

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
I will run for shelter
endless summer lift the curse
Feels like nothing matters
In our private universe

Saw my life go flashing past
In the eyes of a faithful friend
Four legs four lives
And the screeching tyres 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 and strong bones
you make me clench my teeth
Us humans ain't got dignity
Eat my plants 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 and strong bones
Inside and behind him
I will change if Lester lives
Not mess him round
Just cause I own him.

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 the criminal sing
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
'Cos 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

'Cos 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
'Cos you can escape the lie forever

Anyone can tell
Anyone can tell

Within myself there are a million things
Spilling over falling out into a silent stream

Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream

Within myself a secret world returns
Over and over where the white flame of desire burns

Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream

Within myself there are a million things

Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It's my recurring dream

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 figure you out
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Tell the way we miss out on something
We're free
But there is nothing when I present

It was typical of you
To feather your nest
Try to explain
Me and my big mouth were laid to rest
There's nowhere to go
But I'm not hanging around

Left hand
Pick me up and then you put me down

Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing
Tell the way we miss out on something
We're free
But there is one thing when I present

Left hand
Left hand
Left hand
Always wants to know what the right is doing

Start in the way that you want to go on

It was good while it lasted but now it has gone
So face up to what you have done

A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is

And I will go anywhere you say
If you take away all the cameras

There's no guarantee coz we got it for free
And all the pretenders to somebody's throne

For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one

Goodbye to you and your public
And I will go everywhere you say

Okay, we're lucky, but then again...
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time

And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money

If you sell me shown the secrets of your house
And I will know everything you say

And I will go anywhere you say
If you don't charge admission, admission
