- Fraction Too Much Friction (Tim Finn) (4:14)
- There’s a fraction too much friction
There’s a fraction too much friction
Take a typical man, put him
With a typical woman, then,
Sit back and watch everything slide
It’s a perfectly natural
Expression of ill will, but
When will hostilities subside
There’s a fraction too much friction
There’s a fraction too much friction, yeah
Don’t believe in opposing factions
What we need is some positive action
There’s a fraction Too much friction, yeah oh yeah
It’s a very old problem that,
goes back to the dark ages,
The wages of original sin
Let’s make it a better world
Let’s shake it up boys and girls
It’s never too late to begin
There’s a fraction too much friction
There’s a fraction too much friction, yeah
Men and women need each other
Should be like sister and brother
There’s a fraction too much friction, yeah oh yeah
Looking for a man who will love his woman
Looking for a woman who will love her man
Looking for a man who will love his woman
Looking for a woman who will love her man
I swallow my pride for you
My personal highs bore
You’re too wrapped up in your own world
I’m not a man for nothing
I gotta become someone
Inside this oyster there’s a pearl
There’s a fraction too much friction
There’s a fraction too much friction, yeah
Holding on to the bygone era
Everybody shout ‘cause we’re getting nearer
There’s a fraction Too much friction yeah
What we need is some positive action
What we need is some positive thought, yeah
- Made My Day (Tim Finn) (3:25)
- Up here in my lonely room
Holding on forever and a day
I guess it was serious
Under heavy weather
Holding a lover
You can’t help feeling
Life is a bottle of vintage wine
All of a sudden you came along and
Made my day, you made my, Day
Came long and, Made my day
you made my, Day
It’s one of my golden rules
Never let your guard down for too long
But you were nobody’s fool
Made me see how wrong I was
Holding you close in an open embrace
I realize there’s nothing to lose
All of a sudden you came along and
Made my day, you made my, Day
Came along and, Made my day
you made my, Day
You came along in the winter time
Wrapped me up in your warm sunshine
And I’m feeling fine
Not meaning to sound absurd
But the murder of all that was me
Is done and I’m glad of it
Let the guilty go free
Holding a lover, you can’t help feeling
Life is a bottle of vintage wine
All of a sudden you came along and
Made my day, you made my, Day
Came along and, Made my day
you made my, Day...
- Not For Nothing (Tim Finn) (3:28)
- I was ready for you
I’ll never know how to thank you
Everything that you do
Is setting me free
All the wisdom in the world
Couldn’t penetrate or ring true
If not for my little girl
It’s not for nothing that I,
I was waiting for you
Behind a high wall of poses
Now I look at life through
Your innocent eyes
Teach me how to be a child
You can slip through my defenses
Inhibition running wild
And mass confusion in my senses
Nearer, I really mean sincerer
Open your heart to me
I just wanted to let you know
That I want to be nearer
Let’s make a start together
I couldn’t let you go
I just wanted to let you know
The nearer you are
The clearer I see
The clearer I see
That the nearer you are
That the nearer you are
The happier I will be
I was ready for you
I’ll never know how to thank you
Everything that you do
Is setting me free
All the wisdom in the world
Couldn’t penetrate or ring true
If not for my little girl
It’s not for nothing that I
It’s not for nothing that I
Love you, want you, need you...
- In a Minor Key (Tim Finn) (3:46)
- I’m living in a minor key
A melancholy mystery
A quiet place where you and me
Can be quite still
Piano plays a minor chord
And I’m reminded of the day
When love gave me her rich rewards
Then took away my major woes
I stumbled on such sweet repose
In a minor key
When two weary hearts
Enter wide open spaces
It’s enough for a while
Just to smile
But should love endure
Then the smiles on their faces
Turn to bitter tears
Back to tears of joy
I’m living in a minor key
A bitter-sweet tranquility
A place where nothing touches me
Nor ever will
A sad familiar melody
Comes singing through the
Room to me
Whenever I am by your side
I take a ride down memory lane and
Face the truth I’m back again
In a minor key
Rain falls on the roof
As we lie here together
Laughing at the jokes
Only you and I will ever understand
Linger for a while
In the pool of emotion
Let the water rise
Take your time and see
You’ll find it in a minor key
I’m living in a minor key
A melancholy mystery
A quiet place where you and me
Can be quite still
Piano plays a minor chord
And I’m reminded of the day
When love gave me her rich rewards
Then took away my major woes
I stumbled on such sweet repose
- Grand Adventure (Tim Finn) (3:52)
- Grand adventure
Could be just around the corner
Grand adventure could be
Just about here
Grand adventure could be
Just around the corner
Striking out on your own
Put the key in my ignition
That for me was a big admission
Got me going when nothing could
Slapped your pain upon my wood
Like a big game hunter
Looking for his prey
Start today on a bold new venture
Grand adventure
Everything is confidential
When I'm using colourful language
Even when I space my words
I'm still chokin' on the verbs
Like a big game hunter
Looking for his prey
Something keeps me going
Faster every day
Nothing granted if nothing ventured
- Staring At the Embers (Tim Finn) (3:05)
- Staring at the embers
Of my memory
Trying to remember
Just what you meant to me
Now and then I’m falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
Sit right down before the fire
My bridges are all burning
A lady told me she was a liar
In love at least I’m learning
Staring at the embers
Of my memory
Staring at the embers
They’re all that’s left to me
Don’t know where I’m going
There’s no way of knowing
Staring at the embers
Staring at the embers
Of my memory
Trying to remember
Just what you meant to me
Now and then I’m falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
The flame has gone
you put it out
without a word of warning
The pleasure palace
Goes up in smoke
But this fool goes on yearning
Staring at the embers
Of my memory
Fireplace surrender
Please give her back to me
Now and then I’m falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
Staring at the embers
of my memory
Staring at the embers
They’re all that’s left of me
Now and then I’m falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
Staring at the embers
Good God I was
Staring at the embers...
- Wait and See (Tim Finn) (4:01)
- Patience is a virtue
Possess it if you can
You gotta wait and see
Seldom in a woman
Never in a man
You gotta wait and see
I wasn’t meant to be alone
It’s not the only way to be
When will her love invade my home
Well we’ll just have to way and see
Jumping to conclusions
Will leave you high and dry
You gotta wait and see
Her voice was magic on the phone
It promised everything to me
I want to have you for my own
But we’ll just have to wait and see
Ordinary people
Living ordinary lives
can organize their feelings
Why can’t I
Patience is a virtue
Possess it if you can
You gotta wait and see
Seldom in a woman
Never in a man
You gotta wait and see
You gotta wait and see
You gotta wait and see...
- I Only Want to Know (Tim Finn) (4:05)
- I only want to know
Which way am I to go
I only want to see
What’s the right path for me
What am I here for
If not to love you
And let my feelings show
I only want to know
Black hair green eyes
Are one and the same to me
I don’t think twice
They won’t ever let me be
It’s all beyond me
Are you sure you want me
Or do I have to go
I only want to know
Which way am I to go
I only want to see
What’s the right path for me
I only want to ask for the last time
What’s it gonna be
I only want to know
Which way am I to go
I only want to see
What’s the right path for me
I only want to know
I’m going back
To where I went wrong with you
I kissed good-bye
The best thing I ever know
And it’s all beyond me
Are you sure you want me to go
I only want to know
Which way am I to go
I only want to see
What’s the right path for me...
- Growing Pains (Tim Finn) (3:02)
- Growing pains, Growing pains
always in a hurry
It remains to be seen
If it’s worth the worry
Growing pains, Growing pains
always in a hurry
And I won’t regret it
For a single moment
The hours I spend
Investigating
A way of living
With no misgiving
Growing pains, Growing pains
always in a hurry
It remains to be seen
If it’s worth the worry
Growing pains, Growing pains
always in a hurry
And I tumble onwards
And stumble sideways
When you least expect it
There’s a major breakthrough
No way of knowing
If you’re coming or going
Growing pains, Growing pains
always in a hurry
It remains to be seen
If it’s worth the worry
Growing pains, Growing pains
always in a hurry
Growing pains
Leave no trace
They’re peculiar to the human race
Growing pains
Leave no trace
They’re peculiar to the human race
Growing pains, Growing pains
always in a hurry
It remains to be seen
If it’s worth the worry
Growing pains, Growing pains
Always in the middle
You don’t want
To complain
Or play second fiddle
Growing pains, Growing pains
always in a hurry
- Through the Years (Tim Finn) (3:50)
- I met a girl
Who wasn’t quite right
She wandered all
Alone in the night
She understands
The past, present and the future
She takes me back
To where I was then
And leads me on
Again and again
I’m happy now and
I owe everything to her
And she was,
Calling me back through the years
Leading me on through the years
Calling me back through the years
I want to be oblivious
To all the things
That worry us
I want to learn
The secrets of the universe
And she was,
Calling me back through the years
Leading me on through the years
Calling me back through the years
And she was,
Calling me back through the years
Leading me on through the years
Calling me back through the years
I’m never gonna find the answer
And it’s never gonna be
Exactly what I hoped it was but
It’s good enough for me
I never know
just when she’ll come
But when she does
To her I’ll run
for she’s the key
To everything I ever hoped for
And she was,
Calling me back through the years
Leading me on through the years
Calling me back through the years...
I’ve got a girl, she’s calling me
I love a girl, she’s calling me
