BREAKIN' MY BACK (N.Finn) 3:53 Come my girl, you could cure almost anything Take this man, use your power give him energy Pick me up, stop me feeling sorry for myself There are times, when almost everybody needs some help cause I've been breakin' my back with the weight of it all, and and I've been breakin' my back If I am strong, why do I falter? Scratch my back and tickle my toes Sing the song that we all know Watch my mind become a desert where nothing grows And I've been breakin' my back with the weight of it all yes, I've been breakin' my back But I aint' giving it up I ain't letting it go but it's been breakin' my back Stay with me A fool aspires To raise himself Out of the mire I've been breakin' my back And I been breakin' up too Yes I'm a pain in the neck But I can only improve And I been breaking my back... And I been breaking my back Baby, baby, baby please help me(?) Take me in your arms ..?.. Take me out a myself _____________________________________________________________________ 2. I WALK AWAY (N.Finn) 3:48 You came out of the world to me My life parted like the red sea We flowed easy between the rocks and stones never seemed to stop us The years ended in confusion Don't ask me I don't know what happened but I am a man with a mission Must be the devil I don't know Finally, marching to a different tune It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you The sun always sets No room for regret As I walk away from you Reveal whatever you desire To you it may be death defying Your life, slave to ambition Tension your permanent condition So much you've always wanted Too much giving you a sore head Finally marching to a different tune (That's right) As I walk away from you As I walk away from you It's hard to let go Of all that we know, As I walk away from you The sun always sets No room for regret As I walk away from you -- It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you The sun always sets No room for regrets As I walk away from you Give it to me, give it to me, your inspiration Give to recieve, find all we need As I walk away from you. _____________________________________________________________________ 3. DOCTOR LOVE (N.Finn) 4:16 I see cuts and bruises Broken bones, burnt fingers We're savage to each other We bear the scars of anger Doctor love call doctor love, doctor love Doctor Love will fix it Whatever is your ailment Whatever is you sickness Doctor Love will fix it We're going down down down down... shout, but we don't hear a sound I'm always falling over Or having some collision I cannot use a hammer All I can do is sing The doctor love familiar Someone we've met before She'll cure the curses of ages Smash the monumental door We're going down down down down... shout, but we don't hear a sound I'd say you need a friend Someone to tell the truth I'd say you don't look too well the Doctor could be good for you Doctor Love will fix it Whatever is your ailment Whatever is your sickness ...(repeat til fade)... _____________________________________________________________________ 4. ONE MOUTH IS FED (N.Finn) 3:25 There must be a lot of pain For the happiness I feel today The balance can be cruel sometimes Can turn you 'round the other way I lifted up my head from sleep Linger in the scent of a dream Someone must be crying now To make me laugh in sympathy Well I could be wrong, you could be right As one mouth is fed, another is denied Why all the tears, we're crying with delight As we lay in between the sheets Ships are sinking in the bay Find yourself a love to keep And someone else will have to pay I lifted up my head from sleep Linger in the scent of a dream Someone must be crying now To make me laugh in sympathy Well I could be wrong, you could be right As one mouth is fed, another is denied Why all the tears, we're crying with delight I could be wrong I could be right, I could be wrong Well I could be wrong, you could be right As one mouth is fed, another is denied Why all the tears, we're crying with delight As one mouth is fed, another is denied I could be wrong, You could be right I could be right, You could be wrong As one mouth is fed, another is denied I could be wrong, You could be right I could be right, You could be wrong... _____________________________________________________________________ 5. YEARS GO BY (N.Finn & E.Rayner) 4:13 She gets up in the afternoon The sun will set behind her When the twilight comes The magic one, will gaze on you Seconds last for hours all evening This purple room is breathing To the milky way I turn my gaze It's a mystery Years go by, wonder what you did Yet in a minute you can change your life All depends on your state of mind One thing to be sure of is we live and die Fear and doubt no longer harbour lies Love not grow old where we reside `tis enough for now to set you down And gaze on you Years go by, wonder what you did Yet in a minute you can change your life All depends on your state of mind One thing to be sure of is we live and die (repeat chorus to fade) _____________________________________________________________________ 6. VOICES (N.Finn) 3:29 Wander through the library Volumes of the deceased There's no happy endings History has been cruel Feel the blood of ages Flowing through my veins Still there is no reason I wonder what's coming I hear voices Leading me on he wise and the strong Wander through the forest Losing track of time Lessons in green and gold Been growing on for years I hear Voices Leading me on Urging me on I hear Voices Leading me on Urging me on The wise and the strong _____________________________________________________________________ 7. THE LOST CAT (E.Rayner) 5:40 (Instrumental) _____________________________________________________________________ 8. ADZ (N.Griggs) 4:12 Everywhere... Everywhere I see them Everywhere I see them talking Off the wall and on the TV Everywhere... Everywhere I see them Everywhere I see them talking In every way I've been retreating But I know it's only going to help If I can get it out Off the wall and on the TV Whatever you think, you're receiving And of course, we take it for granted Please, is everyone on their knees For red herring heroes They'll just let you down Feign disguise They'll tease you and tantalise Fill you with images I'm gonna complain Well, I don't think it's gonna make any difference No, no I doubt if it's gonna make any difference Picture if it could be you Doing anything, anything at all Just pleasing yourself no fast takers no heart breakers no mistaking no persuading Well, well we'll just pretend... _____________________________________________________________________ 9.

KIA KAHA (N.Finn) 4:06 (NB: Kia Kaha translates as "Forever strong") (Kia kaha) I left you in the shelter on a wet waikato day. The rain came like a flood washed our stamping ground away. And so the ties were broken (never look back) Our situation's changed (Kia kaha) I wonder to myself now If we are still the same. We used to laugh at the words of the old school song (Kia kia kia kia) But now I hope that you will be ever strong (Kia kaha) We gathered in the basement like some religious sect. A band of idle dreamers in a small town safety net. It's been as long as five years Since we were face to face (Kia kaha) We're feeling for the first time Should have something to show for our age. We used to laugh at the words of the old school song (Kia kia kia kia) But now I hope that you will be ever strong (Kia kaha) When I left town I thought an angel watched over me (Kia kia kia kia) It was a shock to find the devil inside me, beside me (Kia kaha) Maori Haka: Ka mate! Ka mate! (It is death for me) Ka ora! Ka ora! (I live!) Ka mate! Ka mate! (It is death for me) Ka ora! Ka ora! (I live!) Tenei te tangata puhuru-huru (Behold the brave man Nana nei i tiki mai, (literally the hairy man)) Whakawhiti te ra! (who has caused the sun to shine again) Aue upane! Aue kaupane! (Up the ladder) Aue upane, kaupane (Up and up) Whiti te ra! (Into the light of the sun) (Kia Kaha) Where did it go, I never noticed it passing (Kia Kaha) Already it's a long time ago... _____________________________________________________________________ 11.
