Finn Album
- Only Talking Sense (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:04)
- There's a wild thing in the woolshed
And it's keeping me awake at night
A devil in the closet
And a feeling I'd prefer to hide
He is religion
He won't hear me when I cry for help
He has a vision of me
But I am somebody else
We talk the pillow
There are times when I'm tied up to the fence
Only talking sense
There's a mirror lake before me
But I'm frozen when it's time to jump
It's like maybe I'm afraid of what I'll find
When independence comes
You steal my shadow
You make my blood run dry
We are true only when we talk the pillow
There are times when I'm tied up to the fence
Only talking sense
Did you suffer as a child
That's why you want me to cry
You are afraid of me
That's why you're so unkind
You won't deny it
When your child is tied up to the fence
And I'm only talking sense
Lonely when we talk the pillow
And your child is messed up in the head
I'm only talking sense
- Eyes of the World (N. Finn, T. Finn) (2:52)
- You're nothing in the eyes of the world
- But you're riding up and down in the elevator still
- Feeling just a little surprised
- Like you discovered Englebert Humperdink or something
- Inside the fairy light
- It's often hard to tell
- The way you see yourself
- Will lead you to despair
- The eyes of everyone will look right through your scene
- It's nothing new to me
- That's what I used to be
- Someone in the eyes of the world
- You look into the eyes of the world
- Hoping to catch your reflection again
- Missing all the real life action
- So calm and dignified you rise up from the chair
- Put the powder on and climb the slippery stairs
- Inside a sleazy room with a Bible for companion
- Bleeding fingernails
- You'll never know yourself
- The eyes of the world they look right through you
- Your nothing in the eyes of the world
- The hint of a smile appears on your face
- When you realize
- There's nothing in the eyes of the world
- Mood Swinging Man (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:06)
- He's a mood swinging man with his bag of tricks
- Never know where he's at
- The life of the party when he's doing his flips
- A drag when he's flat on his back
- This town feels empty now he's gone away
- Please understand
- The wheels in his hand
- He takes me up
- He brings me back down again
- Flash in the pan
- Mood swinging man can't pretend
- Tall dark stranger of the restless kind
- Shadow of a shadow
- I'd like to wander through his mind
- He's hard to get to know
- He wakes you up in the dead of night
- to tell you he's in love
- he can give you a heavy sleeper a terrible fright
- And no one can keep up
- With the mood swinging man
- He'll be back down again
- He lights up
- He's a flash in the pan
- Mood swinging man
- No idea who I am
- I'm the mood swinging man
- you know where he's at
- He will crave your attention still
- All too familiar
- Mood swinging man
- Last Day of June (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:18)
- The firelight plays on me
The choir ignites behind me
The rising voice of discontent
All the guardian angels
You can bang the drum
Look what we've become
I hope there might be one of us
Who calls the tune
Last day of June
The so called third dimension
Hardly deserves a mention
The first and second stages
Have been confused for ages
Knowledge has been lost
How much does it cost
I hope there might be one of us
Who calls the tune
Last of June
Who breaks the news
Last day of June
The city draws it's breath in
I can almost hear it thinking
There are people within my walls
See their wild disorder
Driving their machines
Swarming like a million bees
I hope there might be one of us
Who calls the tune
Last day of June
Who speaks the truth
Last day of June
Who breaks the news
- Suffer Never (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:00)
- Has she fallen from the sky so heavy of heart
The sigh was on her tongue, the grief was in her arm
She will suffer never, I mean her no harm
She'll come slowly rising on the air
Lift her weightless on the air, on the air
And the silence was enough to shed my guilt
She will always know my wishes cos I remember how it felt
Kisses slowly rising on the air,
Lift her weightless on the air, on the air
She will suffer never, I mean her no harm
- Angels Heap (N. Finn, T. Finn) (2:53)
- News travels fast
There's an old wreck in the underpass
Wine in a glass
And a well traveled bad
Down the length and breadth of the motorway
Down the information highway
I took a ride in an angels heap
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
- Niwhai (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:37)
- Niwhai she's so fly
- Making it happen
- Niwhai be my witness
- Five satellites in just one night
- Niwhai pacific sister
- Her fathers son
- She was something precious
- Now we all love what she's become
- Strange attractor
- Something wicked
- Paint her golden Buddha
- You're a blinding flash across the sky
- Niwhai sequined slipper
- Fly by radiating light
- Grant her secret wishes
- Five satellites in just one night
- Niwhai she's so fly
- Making it happen
- Grant her secret wishes
- Five satellites in just one night
- Where Is My Soul (N. Finn, T. Finn) (4:11)
- Wick in the candle
- What lies beneath
- Look in the shadows and the spaces in between
- A vision ghosted appearing on my screen
- Soul where is my soul, where is my soul
- I seek contentment
- I'm acting still
- All airs and graces with a smile before you kill
- Hold back the hostile crowd before they trample you down
- Soul where is my soul, where is my soul
- I'll go up with my conscience clean
- Down below they're looking for me
- And I know you've got my soul
- Oh holy ancient
- I'll smoke you up
- I'll take your wisdom and I'll turn you into dust
- You fill my ashtray
- The one I've come to trust
- Soul where is my soul, where is my soul
- Soul you've lost control of all you've had
- Soul where is my soul, where is my soul
- Bullets in My Hairdo (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:00)
- There's junk mail in my letterbox
- And all the catalogues
- I can't wait to buy it
- No matter what it costs
- The whistle of the sniper
- The crashing of the bombs
- Put a spring back in my step
- Keeps me feeling young
- And this shopping is a curse
- Every time it's getting worse
- I got bullets in my hairdo
- The hairs on my shirt
- Many ways to spend your money
- There's not a lot to choose
- The tanks are rolling over
- My hundred dollar shoes
- You can never find a taxi
- To drive you into town
- I'm always in a panic
- I won't go underground
- And this shopping is a curse
- Every time it's getting worse
- I got bullets in my hairdo
- And holes in my purse
- All quiet on the street
- Silence breathing down
- Bullets in my hairdo
- Jewel in my crown
- And this shopping is a curse
- Every time it's getting worse
- I got bullets in my hairdo
- And holes in my shirt
- Paradise (Wherever You Are) (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:57)
- Endless travel, 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
- Calm 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
- Kiss the Road of Rarotonga (N. Finn, T. Finn) (3:26)
- I kiss the road of Rarotonga
- Speed through the night
- My gritty eyes so fever bright
- Scars on my hand
- The gravel stones I took a bite
- I kiss the road of Rarotonga
- Taste some gravel
- I kiss the road of Rarotonga
- My barefoot nurse
- Whisper sorry when it hurts
- Black sea slug sand
- A velvet sky and the roosters cry
- Bird flapped its wing
- Man I robe like a king
- I kiss the road of Rarotonga
- Taste some gravel
- I kiss the road of Rarotonga
- Stand up and flow, push it on push it on
- Island I'll stay with you
- I give thanks to Rarotonga
- I kiss the road of Rarotonga
