Shark Attack (Tim Finn) (2:52)
 
Loves got teeth and she bites so hard
Leaving you for dead like a deadly shark
And she doesn't leave a lot to be saved

I was swimming in the harbour of your smile
Splashing in the ocean like a child
I didn't know what dangers lurked there
Just beyond the waves
Shark attack!

Well she chewed me up and she spat me out
I didn't want to meet a man-eater
Shark attack!

Please don't mess around with me
I'm a shark fatality, in the sea
I'm the one with the bleeding heart
I thought you were a real lifesaver
And life for once would do me a favour
But baby's just a butcher, and her teeth are razor sharp
Shark attack!

Yeah she chewed me up and she spat me out
I didn't want to meet a man-eater
Shark attack!
And I'm lost at sea and I'm an amputee
And there was slaughter in the water when I fought her
Shark attack!

Hey!.. Hey!.. Hey!.. Hey!

Shark attack!
She gobbled me up and she dribbled(?) me out
Didn't want to meet a man-eater
Shark attack!
Now I'm lost at sea and I'm an amputee
And there was slaughter in the water when I fought her
Shark attack!.. Shark attack!.. Shark attack!.. Shark attack!..
Shark attack! (shark attack) Shark attack!

 

I Got You (Neil Finn) (3:24)
 
I got you - that's all I want
I won't forget - that's a whole lot
I don't go out - not now that you're in
Sometimes we shout - but that's no problem

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

Look at you - you're a pageant
You're everything - that I've imagined
Something's wrong - I feel uneasy
You show me - tell me you're not teasin'

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'

There's no doubt - not when I'm with you
When I'm without - I stay in my room
Where do you go - I get no answer
You're always out - it gets on my nerves

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying
(But) I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying

 

What's the Matter With You? (Neil Finn) (3:02)
 
What's the matter with you?
Look down on everything we do
I really wonder if you see today like I do
What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with you?
You don't look cool in shades of blue
I really wonder if you see today like I do
What's the matter with you?

When I got up today I felt so much brighter
My head was swimming with delight and I told her
But she said "What's so good about today?"
And she walked away
She's down in the dumps without a reason why

What's the matter with you?
Look down on everything we do
I really wonder if you see today like I do
What's the matter with you?

Gonna keep an eye on you, I'll be your dictator
So you better buck up or I'll deal with you later
So beat the drum and let the trumpet blow
You gotta let go
In the heat of the moment you reap what you sow

What's the matter with you?
Look down on everything we do
I really wonder if you see today like I do
What's the matter with you?

The worried look that's on your face makes you older
You realize that things have never been better
Yes sir, the weathers clear
There's Eskimos, in summer clothes
I don't suppose you'd like to laugh with me

What's the matter with you?
You look down on everything we do
I really wonder if you see today like I do
What's the matter with you?

I Wouldn't Dream of It (Tim Finn) (3:14)
 
I wouldn't dream of it in the pale moonlight
I wouldn't kid myself off to sleep
I may look like a fool to you
But I don't come that cheap
I wouldn't lose my head at the crack of dawn
And not in front of any old sunset
I may succumb some day
But hey, it hasn't happened yet

I wouldn't dream of it, I wouldn't dream of it
I wouldn't dream of it, No No
I wouldn't dream of it, I wouldn't dream of it
I wouldn't dream of it, No No
I wouldn't dream of it.

I don't believe in love by candlelight
I'm not a movie star at St Moritz
And I'm not a Prince in a fairy tale
Looking for the foot that fits
I wouldn't dream of asking you to stay
I never would presume that far
And I'm not about to leave myself
With all my doors ajar

I wouldn't dream of it, I wouldn't dream of it
I wouldn't dream of it, No No

 

I Hope I Never (Tim Finn) (4:26)
 
I fall apart when your around
When you're here, I'm nowhere
I can't pretend that I'm not down
I show it, I know it
I've been a fool - more than once, more than twice
I'm gonna move to a new town where the people are nice

I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I still want to beam and smile 
Happiness is back in style 
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again
Again, oh oh oh oh

It should be possible I know
To see you without stress
But I can see I'll have to go
I'm changing my address
My urge to cry I have failed to conceal
Life - it's no fun when your hunted by the things that you feel

I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I hope I never, I hope I never have to sigh again
I'm for living while you can
I'm an optimistic man
I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again
Again, oh oh oh oh...

I hope I never.. I hope I never..
I hope I never, never, never, never...

I hope I never..
I hope I never have to see you again

 

Nobody Takes Me Seriously (Tim Finn) (3:24)
 
Nobody listens to a word that I say
And at work I'm just a foreman's tool
Sitting in the corner with my coffee & tray
All the secretaries think I'm a fool

I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Haven't I the right to say
I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

Loves not a glimpse, it's a permanent rinse
And it keeps you on your toes all day
Every girl I met seemed to get apathetic
When I looked at her that special way

I can't get nobody else to take me for real
They like to keep me tucked away
Even if they listened to what I had to say
Nobody'd take me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

If war broke out I'd be the last one to know
If there was a fire they'd just leave me to burn
I got just as much to say as any man
But I never seem to get my turn

I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Haven't I the right to say
I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

(Nobody takes me seriously)
Nobody.. no, no, no-nobody...

 

Missing Person (Neil Finn) (3:32)
 
Home to sweet home, it just occurred to me
To be on my own, in search of bitter treats
I get so removed but you never notice it
Step in my shoes, you'll see that I don't fit

I walk home, the wrong way, hoping I'll go astray
I'd like to be a missing person

Eyes open wide, but all I see is black
You thought I was alright just wait til you get back
There'll be no-one home
And they'll stay up all night
Everyone I know, I'm wishing you goodnight

I walk home, the wrong way, hoping I'll go astray
I'd like to be a missing person
I wander the highways, asleep in your doorways
I'm wanted but I'm a missing person

Missing Person 

And I fly by night, fighting to get away
On the neon lights I slip down alley ways
Only safe and sound when silence brings a chill
Now my back is turned, I know I can't stand still

I walk home the wrong way, this time I'll go astray
I like to be a missing person
I wander the highways, asleep in your doorways
I'm wanted but I'm a missing person

Missing person, missing person, missing person...

 

Poor Boy (Tim Finn) (3:19)
 
My love is alien, I picked her up by chance
She speaks to me with ultra-high frequency
A radio band of gold, gonna listen 'til I grow old
Ooh hoo hoo
What more can a poor boy do?

What more can a poor boy do?

The crackle of the radio, a message in the evening sky
You're looking at an interplanetary Romeo
I'll never see her face - between us there's too much space
Ooh hoo hoo
What more can a poor boy do?

 

How Can I Resist Her (Tim Finn) (3:26)
 
Blonde hair, blue eyes
She came on like a white lie
My wicked angel in mortal disguise
There's one in every crowd
Gonna make me shout aloud

How can I resist her
Haven't even kissed her
All I wanna do is
Pleasing you and say yes
Oh tell me "How can I resist her?"

Demon in lipstick, a beauty of nature
I'm only human and sometimes I hate you
Trembling at the knees
I can only say "Yes Please?"

How can I resist her
Haven't even kissed her
All I wanna do is
Pleasing you and say yes
Oh tell me "How can I resist her?"

How can I resist her?
Oh tell me "How can I resist her?"
How can I re, how can I re, how can I re...

How can I resist her?

Divine delinquent
Delicious and perverse
I want to touch you
Just once before I burst

How can I resist her?...
Oh tell me "How can I resist her?"
How can I re, how can I re, how can I re, how can I re
Oh how can I resist her?
