BEGINNING OF THE ENZ (1979) SPLIT ENZ 1. SPLIT ENDS (P.Judd/T.Finn) 1:50 Writing letters to my frenz Telling them all about split ends Watching flowers hit the floor Why can't he see, there's so much more Four of one, twenty of another It's all the same to me brother Never know these days mother I might still be your lover (yeah) Nothing else is so obscene as coffee beans and smoke machines Take your daughter for a ride Let her know you're on her side Guess there's no words can beat The Sunday treat where rigamortis meat Wish you never found your feet Sniffing tow jams really neat Writing letters to my frenz Telling them all about split ends _____________________________________________________________________ 2. FOR YOU (P.Judd/T.Finn) 3:50 We're outside the times Seen the break of day My parents beat me cos I laughed or something like that For nights on end You've been my friend I've turned the lights on just for you For you, for you, just for you Blueboys on the stage yes he's quite the rage His parents loved his blue eyes He knows where it's at People think he's queer But to be quite fair You know he does it just for you For you, for you, just for you You laugh so easily, but I can see what's it like to be They kicked your eyes in at four when they shut the door Playing out masquerade Even soldiers on parade The game they play is just for you For you, for you, just for you Took me by surprise, left me standing there The cold winds blew while you watched Fred Astaire He was dancing all alone, up the stairs dancing all alone, up the stairs Took me by surprise, left me standing there The cold winds blew while you watched Fred Astaire He was dancing all alone, up the stairs dancing all alone, up the stairs We're outside the times Seen the break of day My parents beat me cos I laughed They must of done it just for me Just for me ooh just for me. _____________________________________________________________________ 3. 129 (P.Judd/T.Finn) 2:47 Hiding in the wings forever We'll take the stage, cos it's now or never And the whole thing reeks of cheap striptease The matinee idylls they all fall to their knees It's not all first nights at all There's nothing more dull than a curtain call `get on with it' Playing Romeo, you make your debut (yes you do) Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue It's not all bouquets & white crayons They're going to laugh when you look down I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along But it's It's not all first nights at all There's nothing more dull than a curtain call `jolly good show' _____________________________________________________________________ 4. HOME SWEET HOME (P.Judd/T.Finn) 3:44 Willows weep, the pillows they do sleep Home sweet home, to each his own I always say He's a man of few words A bundle of nerves, wait and see And while his mind works best in darkness Coming up from behind The frightened keep on running While he just hangs around Home sweet home To each his own I always say Martin tries to use his eyes in every way Help ease the situation He's happy with what he's got The kid with his candy, finger painting and blocks In pitch black he's taking action What is the cause? Then came the applause It was a cold and windy afternoon and through the tumbling clouds you could see the moon, all the mums and dads had come to see the things their kiddies had done; and out jumped Martin dressed to his tens in the Campbells tartan. All eyes watched him, skipping and dancing, everyone laughed but Martin was deaf and couldn't hear a thing, he just kept dancing the highland fling. Now he's proud of his efforts That young lad Martin From the local kindergarten Home sweet home to each his own I always say Martin tries to use his eyes in every way Home sweet home to each his own I always say Home home on the range... _____________________________________________________________________ 5. SWEET TALKING SPOON SONG (P.Judd/T.Finn) 3:23 How's you day been my love How's you day been today How's you day been darling Hope you've been good while I've been away I've been walking down a lonely street You'd be amazed at the people I meet Saying hello to people all day Wonder why they turn away You've been my baby You make my life worthwhile You've been my sweetheart You make my life worthwhile Sweeping the streets Dawn to dust everyday I think of you on my walk Oh! How's you day been my love How's you day been today How's you day been darling Hope you've been good while I've been away When I go to bed at night I see your face by pale moonlight Stuck on me wall, it's a crying shame I wish like hell I knew your name You've been my baby You make my life worthwhile You've been my sweetheart You make my life worthwhile Cleaning all day Broom in hand It's ok, you're in the flesh Birthday suit (corrrrr!) _____________________________________________________________________ 6. NO BOTHER TO ME (P.Judd/T.Finn) 3:10 It's no bother for me to beg for my friends My feet are cold and I'm going round the bend It won't hurt me to cry out loud My heart is burning an I'm far too proud And I'm just a hungry traveller, and I'd like to share your table Nobody's going to spoil my plans I'd rather eat with my hands And I think I'll be alright now Maybe I'll come back and stay some day (repeat 3 times) I'll even bring my children so they can play It's no bother for me to beg, I was sane My eyes are red and my heads in pain It won't hurt me to say what I mean My throat is blistered but my hands are clean And I'm just your long lost love and I'd love you still but I'm not able They won't catch me if I can help it Just hold me down if I have a fit And I think I'll be alright now Say that I'll be normal some day (repeat 3 times) Now they laugh and teach me how to pray _____________________________________________________________________ 7.

LOVEY DOVEY (P.Judd/T.Finn) 3:23 My house is sliding into the sea Skies are grey, since you've been away The chickens aren't laying eggs no more It can only mean you left me for sure But I still think of you when I'm alone Oh how can I ever repay you for what you do to me And I still think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what your, doing to me La do dah la do dah dah My trees are all turning brown The sun don't(?) shine, now you're no longer mine The rats are crawlin' up me back It can only mean you're never coming back But I still think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you doing to me But I still think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you doing to me La do dah la do dah la do dah (wow) My b-bed is leaning to one side You know I can't sleep now that I've lost my pride The flies are swarming in like bees I even have to share my clothes with fleas But I still think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you doing to me And I still think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you doing to me Right Now! wop-de-doo... ahh.

SPELLBOUND (P.Judd/T.Finn) 4:35 Chances are, it's not that far to go Chances are, there's not that much to know When you're spellbound When you're spellbound, once again Chances are, things are going to change Chances are, you'll be the one who's strange When you're spellbound, once again When you're spellbound, once again I know it's hard to believe but it's true But I could never have done it without you The way things are, we'll get there in the end The way things are, you(?) won't have to pretend That we're all spellbound, once again That we're all spellbound, once again I know it's hard to believe but it's true But I could never of done it without you...
