- I See Red (Tim Finn) (3:15)
- When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red.
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see re-ed, I see red (red!), I see re-ed.
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 around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see re-ed, I see red (red!), I see re-ed.
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 around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see re-ed, I see red (red!), I see re-ed.
Go!
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red! (red!)
I see red, I see red, I see red...
- Give It a Whirl (T. Finn. N. Finn) (2:49)
- I saw you there by the side of the road
You wore long faces and long overcoats in the rain
Waiting for buses to carry you home
Winter wind rushes and rattles your bones, it's a shame
I can see no sign of action in your eyes
There's a thrill you'll never know if you never try
Remember taking a ride on a Ferris wheel
And really enjoying yourself, bye bye blues
Remember taking a bet on a race
You faced the future with a smile on your face, win or lose
No, I don't mean to preach, I don't mean to patronize
There's a thrill you'll never know if you never try
Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl
Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl
Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl
Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl...........
I saw you there by the side of the road
You wore long faces and long overcoats in the rain
Waiting for buses to carry you home
Winter wind rushes and rattles your bones, it's a shame
No, never give up, giving in, it's like kissing goodbye
There's a thrill, that you'll never know, if you never try
Why don't you give it a whirl...
- Master Plan (Tim Finn) (3:07)
- I'm not a robot, passive and programmed,
I'm taking the law into my own hands
All things come to those who base their every action on a proper strategy
I got a master plan, not taking any chances,
I got a master plan and I got me some answers
I learned my lesson, Fate will keep you waiting full of doubt and drudgery
I got a master plan, not taking any chances oh no
I got a master plan and I got me some answers
I got a master plan, not taking any chances
I got a master plan and I got me some answers
I learned my lesson, Fate will keep you waiting full of doubt and drudgery
No more hesitating, got a proper strategy
I got a master plan, not taking any chances
I got a master plan and I got me some answers
I got a master plan, not taking any chances
I got a master plan and I'm making advances
whoa-whoa-whoa got a master plan
- Betty (Tim Finn) (4:39)
- Betty was a working girl
living in the bottom half of the world
Saving up for Friday night
dancing underneath the lights, she would whirl
Dance, come on Betty sing, come on Betty, fly by night
Every man she meets appears to like her, then they whisper
'You coming outside?'
Leaning up against the fence
breathing hard and trying hard not to cry
Love, come on Betty give, come on Betty live for love
Who loves you Betty, always something standing in your way
You better get out Betty babe
Who loves you Betty, always someone looking the other way
You better get out Betty babe
There's always someone left behind, the crippled boy
the last in line, the lost soul
Love today is bought and sold
Betty wants the love of days gone old
Prim, proper little miss, gimme a little kiss, don't fuss
Who loves you Betty, always something standing in your way
you better get out Betty babe
Who loves you Betty, always someone looking the other way
you better get out Betty babe
Who loves you Betty, always something standing in your way
you better get out Betty babe
Who loves you Betty, always someone looking the other way
you better get out Betty babe
- Frenzy (T. Finn, E. Rayner) (2:55)
- [spoken] The frenzy never satisfies it doesn't help you socialize and
seldom will it instigate a riot. It's not a dance or a teenage craze
but if you're lost in a mental maze the frenzy will erase the haze,
now try it.
Move to the frenzy, everybody lose control
Move to the frenzy, it's for the young and the old
(turn to our leader?)
Move to the frenzy, everybody lose control
Move to the frenzy, it's for the young and the old
Move to the frenzy, where it's all going to end
Move to the frenzy, everybody's 'round the bend
- Stuff and Nonsense (Tim Finn) (4:22)
- 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, every day was one day closer
Greener on the other side, this 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
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
- Marooned (Eddie Rayner) (2:50)
- Pull up a flag, or light a fire, or send up a flare
Build me a beacon, seems there's no other way out of here
Inform the local correspondent
Tell him to phone in, tell the papers, put it over the air
I'm marooned
Build me a schooner, or a punt, or a dug-out canoe
A Sputnik, a bi-plane, just a rusty jalopy will do
Call the folks and say I'm castaway
I'll even resort to taking chances in a hot air balloon
Marooned, marooned ...
- Hermit McDermitt (Tim Finn) (4:07)
- Ohhhhh
I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory if you find me, I'll burn it
you won't see me for dust, there's no one I trust, a hermit I must be
I won't be your criminal, I don't want your laws
Your taxi cabs and cheap kebabs and dingy dancing halls
I don't want your wedding bells, no top notch salary
It's a cabin in the hills or a cottage by the sea for me
I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory if you find me, I'll burn it
you won't see me for dust, there's no one I trust, a hermit I must be
You treated me like an afterthought and after all I'd done
Subjected me to ridicule, that's your idea of fun
O city full of promises and citadels so grand
I said goodbye to you and yours, and left for no-man's land
I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory if you find me, I'll burn it
you won't see me for dust, there's no one I trust, a hermit I must be
Living in the wilderness brings out the beast in me
I know I'm not the only one whose scent is on the breeze
Some of us have broken hearts or a price upon our heads
One day soon we'll all return and kill you in your beds
whoa.. whoa.. whoa..
I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory if you find me, I'll burn it
you won't see me for dust, there's no one I trust, a hermit I must be
I'm Hermit McDermitt
- Holy Smoke (Neil Finn) (3:17)
- Holy smoke good God almighty
Vandals, murderers and thieves
I just woke up with the strangest feeling
There's someone here with me
Feel my heart
The fear of God written in my face
In the dark
Over there by the fireplace
The shadows fall much too close for comfort
Here all night the sun deserts you
Dark skies overhead
Candles lit and measures taken
Brave new worlds we tread
It's all I can do to keep from running away
Get me out of this place
Too young to lose
I've been sleeping with one eye open too long
- Semi-Detached (Tim Finn) (5:00)
- I wanna leave here, I wanna get to hell away
My body's frozen and in my head the pain is here to stay
Panic seems too close for comfort save me,
I gotta get going before I cause an accident
The wind is blowing, the summer's gone and I can't pay the rent
Debt collectors, slap dash noisy children
Who's going be there when the going gets tough
Ooh I wonder
We're semi-detached and we'll burn like matchsticks
Will be wonderful
I wanna fire, I wanna brimstone baptism
Got no illusion, friction or fusion, time has come
In my garden, cats entreat me, spare us
But as for people, they're semi-detached aren't they
So I can't be sure, I think I heard a neighbour say
He'll amount to nothing, he's pathetic...
- Who's going be there when the going gets tough
Ooh I wonder
We're semi-detached and we'll burn like matchsticks
Will be wonderful
- Carried Away (Tim Finn) (4:29)
- Breathless home with excitement
I'll kick my shoes off
Get into the groove
Dancing I drift with my eyes closed
Hearing your voice again
Singing that strange melody
I get slowly carried away
Slowly carried away
All day I can hear her calling
That woman I've never met
Keeps leading me on
I'm told that it's evergreen
I've listened but never seen
I've laid awake all night
Just putting the whole world right
It's terrible but it's true
- She Got Body She Got Soul (Tim Finn) (2:53)
- She got body, she got soul, I'm torn apart without her
I'm gonna trust her with my future
I'm gonna keep a tight rein on her heart
she's one of the few things I feel a part of
I know it's true, I'll never leave, I'll never say goodbye
(Bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye)
I'll always be a man of means as long as I'm by her side
(beside beside beside)
She got body, she got soul, I'm torn apart without her
I'm gonna trust her with my future
I'm gonna keep a tight rein on her heart
she's one of the few things I feel a part of
I learn a lot when she's around, she's got so much to give
(so much, so much, so much to give)
If you can say you live and learn, you're learning how to live
(learn how, learn how, learn how to live)
She got body, she got soul, I'm torn apart without her
I'm gonna trust her with my future
I'm gonna keep a tight rein on her heart
she's one of the few things I feel a part of
Nobody told me that a woman she can lead a man from ruin
Well she pulled me back and I'm coming back for more for sure
No time to make careful decisions, she might be an apparition
Now the panic's on and I'm not an honest man if I don't say
She got body, she got soul, I'm torn apart without her
I'm gonna trust her with my future
I'm gonna keep a tight rein on her heart
she's one of the few things I feel a part of
Alright, I know it's been said so many times before
But I don't care, I'm gonna sing it to you just once more
She got body, she got soul, I'm torn apart without her
I'm gonna trust her with my future
I'm gonna keep a tight rein on her heart
- Mind Over Matter (T. Finn, N. Finn) (2:57)
- Pain puts you at a disadvantage, it's inconvenient
Don't let your body betray you with this physical torment
It's mind over matter, got my mind over my matter
Mind over matter, got my mind over matter, yeah
Heartache and backache, and toothache and headache vexation of the spirit
Cigarette burns, cold showers for hours
My training helps me through it
People with weak hearts should go into training
I don't let pain deter me
Sticks and stones may break my bones but they will never hurt me
It's mind over matter, got my mind over my matter
Mind over matter, got my mind over matter, yeah
Mind over
Mind over matter, makes lean times fatter (x2)
fatter, fatter, fatter...
Got my mind over my matter
- Livin' It Up (Nigel Griggs) (1:15)
- Livin' it up
Short and sweet and in between
An invitation
You gotta live it up
Or you'll never live it down
So it's the Rolling Stones
Or Steely Dan
Though we think it's the same
And we think it's a shame
We're still livin' it up
Livin' it up
