Альбом Neil Finn

See a dog upon the road
Running hard to catch a cat
Car is pulling to a halt
Truck behind me doesn't know
Everything is in the balance
Of a moment I can't control
And you're sympathetic strings
Are like the stirrings in my soul

I could go at anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go at anytime

Find the meaning of the act
Remember how it goes
Every time you take to water
You swim against the flow
And the world is all around us
And the days are flying past
And fear is so contagious
But I'm not afraid to laugh

I could go at anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go at anytime

Anytime
Come without a warning
Anytime
It could be so easy
A walk in the park
Maybe when i'm sleeping
Anytime
See the clouds come over
Rain or shine
I make you so unhappy
So lets make it right

I feel like I'm in love
With a stranger I'll never know
Although you're still a mystery
I'm so glad I'm not alone

And I won't let it go
Of the first clear moment
I saw you
Make it so easy to fly in the night
I could go at anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go at anytime

Time to split out my back door
Sunrise dancing on my wall
Heading down off beaten tracks
Try to get that feeling back

I could take a walk again
Up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
I could always find some peace
In the back of beyond

Kind voice from yesterday
Give love fill up every space
But now I laugh at simple truth
Sneer and frown like we all do

When the long night awakes
With memories a midnight feast
Feel the boy in me escape
There's a field of frost beneath my feet
Run, never tire, run boy, forever and ever

I could take a walk again
Up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
Remember what a friend of mine said
You gotta be kind

Beside me now, are strangers to my eyes
It might be getting crazy, might be wise
Stranded either way
Such a lonely place
I'm looking out for you
Among the flies that wait in line
The days on end
The nights are cold
But always so intense

I try to reach the top most every day
And hope I turn my face up to the sky
And the cover hangs so low
I see no sign of light
Nothing springs to mind

Among the flies that wait in line
The days on end
The nights so cold
But always so intense

Here we are
There's a smile between us
And it's going on

You and me have always gotten through
Anyone can tell you that it's true
You feel it every time
You drive away from home
Headlights hypnotise
They take you off towards the sea
Into the night
You run away
From thoughts you cannot hide

(...)
Can't describe my hunger
For your (...)

(...)
Can't help thinking of you

Remember my loose tongue
Forget what I just said
I'll crawl over broken glass
If we could start again
Before our plans were made
When the world was young
The house was falling down
Because of my loose tongue

I shouldn't say so much
I shouldn't talk so loud
It's sooner on your lips
And 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 god is coming down fast
Looks like someone I knew
Uncovered happiness at last

And 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 settle for a princely sum

Good will is coming down
And when it rains
Your well is full

You shouldn't ask me, shouldn't ask me
You want the real story, shouldn't ask me
You better find someone else with the house key
You know impression on his personal life
You know the man's walking on the edge of a knife
Your tail is getting long and your nose keeps growing
Perhaps some time you forget what you know and
Now I feel I'm getting caught with a psycho sycophant
And ... a kicked out tin can
Got the poor man nailed to the floor
And that's not enough when you wanna beat more

He's only halfway through his life
He's only used up all his time

You run around
On the rebound
Everyone says you're going all the way down
Out of your mind
All of the time
Stare at the wall
She's got it all now
What's goin' on?
Time slips away
You got it all wrong
I saw her today and that's all
Get up off the ground
Back on your feet
It's easily done
She didn't mean to hurt no one
Walk on down that street where we need you
Down on the corner
Where there's nothing to do
You've got to believe
Take it from me
But don't take too long
You're never gonna go wrong
Get up off the ground
Back on your feet
It's easily done
She didn't mean to hurt no one
You can walk right back where you started
Friends moved on, it's all gone wrong
Walk on down that street where we need you
Down on the corner
Where there's nothing to do
Get what you need when you're feelin bad
Step back and see
It ain't really too bad
You can walk right back where you started
Friends move on, it's all gone wrong
Walk on down that street where we need you
Down on the corner
Where there's nothing to do
Take it from me
See to believe
Don't take too long
Do it, right
See to believe
Take it from me
Don't take too long
Do it, right

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see lights
Driving in your car
Oh please, don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought: 'Oh God, my chance has come at last!'
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Oh I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

There is a light and it never goes out..

In my mind
In my mind
It was oh so fine

Happy now
Happy gone
I am often wrong

Put me on
Scissor me
Then you leave me be

Cut me out
Knead me too
You can paint me blue

You can always play with
You can always play with
You can always play with

Always one
Once again
I'll be your best friend

Paper doll
Paper doll
Paper doll

You can always play with
You can always play with
You can always play with

Me

There's a light overhead, overhead
In the sky overhead, overhead
And I'm with you now
In body in music and mind
And we're silent and still
Everything's so out of control tonight

In a plane that's flying fast
At a speed that makes me cry
If you left me now
To trouble that won't let me lie
I'm awake all the time
You know whwre I stand
Holding my plastic gun
Turn and run

You cold killers of innocence
Against us there's no defence
Your flash and your wickedness
You can't break out of

Tie my hands behind my back
Put a gag on top of my mouth
But I won't give you up
Til silverware's covered in dust
And my shoes fall apart
The tumbleweed runs over my desert heart
So turn and run

You cold killers of innocense
Against us there's no defense
Your flash and your wickedness

Will surely bring you down again
Somehow we stay afloat
We won't give in to the undertow
Somethings you will never know
But you can't break out of
Coming down
But you can't break out of
Slowing down
But you can't break out of

News travels fast
There's an old wreck in the underpass
Wine in a glass
And a well travelled bed
Down the length and breadth of the motorway
Down the information highway

I took a ride
In an angels heap
Yeah I took a ride
And she took me away
To where the hills are steep
Yeah I took a ride

In the still mind of a child
There's a live bird on her shoulder
She could swallow a lie
Like she's drinking a flagon of beer
I'll never be the same again
Let the black wheels fly over

I took a ride
In an angels heap
And she took me away
To where the air was sweet
And she made me come alive
In a red vinyl seat
Yeah I took a ride

Let the black wheels fly over

Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
To see another birthday

Look at all the pretty numbers
Look at all the pretty numbers
Scattered on the calendars

I can see my reflection
I can see my reflection
In the shop window

Who owns that space
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass
Until another day

Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
It all ends up the same somehow
I'm hardly here at all

All the trash and the treasure
All the trash and the treasure
All the pain and the pleasure

Taste the edible flowers
Taste the edible flowers
Scattered in the salad days

Who owns that space
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass
Until another day

Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
And still the rain keeps coming down
I'm hardly here at all

And everything's gone quiet now
I'm hardly here at all

Disobey my own decisions, I deserve all your suspicion
First it's yes and then it's no, I dilly dally down to duo
But I got no secrets that I babble in my sleep
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep

And you know that I love you, here and now not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future
That's all stuff and nonsense

I once lived for the future, everyday was one day closer
Greener on the other side, yes I believed before I met you
I soon learned your love burned brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when, I know where and why

And you know that I love you, here and now not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future
That's all stuff and nonsense

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk round free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red, I see red, (hey!)
I see red

I respect your wishes
You gave me such precious hours
What to do without you.
Squeezed me out of your life
Down the drain like molten toothpaste
I feel used and spat out
Poor old me

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk round free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red, I see red, (hey!)
I see red

I'm fed up with crying
My despair is dying,
Turning into rage, day by day
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me love you
I was blue when you let me down
Black and blue

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk round free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red, I see red, (hey!)
I see red

Mmmoh
(Ahhhrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Go, go, go, go!

I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red, I see red, I see red
Oooh I see red, (hey!)

I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
I see red, I see red, I see red (I see red)
Red, red, red

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
But 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
But somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
And one day I will come back
Yeah

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Still no end in sight
Though I travel far and wide
A dying man is doing time
Thinker, soldier terrified

She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
One day I will come back

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah

(Hey)
She will have her way
(...)
Yeah she will have her way
She will have her way

Behind her eyes there's curtains
And they've been closed to hide the flames, remains
She knows their future's burning
But she can smile just the same, same

And though her mood is fine today
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

Standing like a statue
A chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey

And though he's too big a man to say
There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

Drifting away, drifting away, drifting away, away
Drifting away, drifting away, drifting away, away

Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well 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

Well, there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, the weather with you

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather, the weather with you

Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather, the weather with you

Endless travels
Can't remember where I've been
Lying in this hammock
Feeling tragic
Like the ones you hear so much about
Can't wait to tell you what I've seen

Skim the water
South Atlantic ocean grey
Always searching for his mate
Lonely albatross
Cannot find them
The ones you care so much about
They're lost and you're losing your way

Too much pressure
Gin and tonic water
They'll forget you
The ones you care so much about
They'll surrender to the need

Paradise wherever you are

There is freedom within
there is freedom without
Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me

-(CHORUS)-
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car
there's a hole in the roof
my possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
in the paper today
tales of war and of waste
but you turn right over to the T.V. page

-(CHORUS)-
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again
to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, Hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, Hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know they won't win

Don't let them win
Hey now, Hey now

Hey now, Hey now

Hey now, Hey now
Don't let them win

They come, They come
Don't let them win

Hey now, Hey now (yeah)

Hey now, Hey now
