- Last One Standing (Neil Finn) (3:04)
- Hand me down my favorite coat
Show what you're made of, surprise us both
Fly in the night, slow down town
Brake too fast, bring us round, bring us round
And our finest days have come
Summer nights go on so long
So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent
I can see you with my eyes closed
You're the last one standing
Lean and hungry with a fire in your eyes
I'll play catch-up, you can show me where it's at
I'll go along with anything that you want to do
Everyday I'm making ground
So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent
I can see you with my eyes closed
When you come walking into my house
I'll be the last one standing
If you want you can get there
Night vision and i find your white doves
Landing in your treasure towers
And I promise that I won't look back
Everyday I'm making ground
So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent
And I can see you with my eyes closed
When you're walking into my house
I'll be the last one standing
And you are magnificent
I can see you with my eyes closed
When you're walking into my house
I'll be the last one standing
- Souvenir (Neil Finn) (3:42)
Don't ask the questions
If you don't like the answers
Get up off your chair
There's nothing for you here
Where the guests like souvenirs
They play with you till you're all worn out
Back there the guests like souvenirs
Prison color blue
It's a uniform of choice
Count yourself lucky
That you don't write the software
Where the guests like souvenirs
They play with you till you're all worn out
Back there the guests like photographs
They hope you had a good night.
Loosen up your tie
Make the viewers cry
I cannot pretend to cry.
Memorize by heart
Every single part
There's nothing for you here
Where the guests like souvenirs
They play with you till you're all worn out
Back there the guests like souvenirs
They hope you had a good night.
Each night I would fall
Right off the stage
No bones to break
- King Tide (N. Finn, R. Moore) (4:33)
- It's a dark and empty room
The sun beating hard on your door
I feel emotion roar within you
You're flesh and blood like anyone
Make some sense of your life
Move your hand and make the mark
I don't know why you're so confused
You're flesh and blood, there's no excuse
And the hunger inside
Won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the longer you hide
The more you deny
And the sea rushes in
The wind is howling at your back
The past is always overturned
It's a dead man who would refuse
And twice the man to fill his shoes
And the hunger inside
Won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the longer you hide
The more you deny
And the hunger inside
It won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the sea rushes in
Into my world
I can feel a king tide coming
All my senses overflowing
One of them waiting out the back
Horns blowing, cymbals crash
So paint a circle in the sky
I was reckless in the arms of love
There's a bruise on my back
And a new understanding too
- Try Whistling This (N. Finn, J. Moginie) (4:13)
- Tales from my head
Can't buy the book
No one's listening
But I guess you could
Try whistling this
You say you're tired
Liquid as water
But you'll succumb now
As I stroke your back
I'm the best that you know
And every time you think of me
I hope you think of true romance
And every time you want to leave
You'll give us both another chance
Warmest welcome
Violent stranger
He said come here
As he pushed me down
Impossible to do
In high heels
Walking into walls
Do you ever wonder
If you're here at all?
Try whistling this
And my words are ringing in your ear
Drawing your attention now to all the things that you ignore
If I can't be with you I would rather have a different face
And if I can't be near you I would rather be a drift in space
And if the gods desert us now I'd turn this chapel into flames
And if someone tries to hurt I would put myself in your place.
- She Will Have Her Way (Neil Finn) (3:56)
- I might be old but I'm someone new she said
I'm so sore that I could cry always
In the night lay your tired arms
She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
It's the life I've been frightened of seems like
Deathly silence and especially the dark
Feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died
She will have her way
And somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
One day I will come
Still no end in sight
Though I travel far and wide
Dying man is doing time
Thinker, soldier terrified
And she will have her way
And somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
And one day I will come back
- Sinner (N. Finn, M. de Vries) (4:25)
- See it anyone got my eyes got my face
See it everyone got my nose got my blood
Conscience plays upon me now
Safe until my luck runs out
Cuckoos call, pendulum swings
I thought you knew everything
Lift my hands and make the cross
Sinner, I have never learned
Beginner, I cannot return
Forever, I must walk this earth
Like some forgotten soldier
These things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
Under moonlight I stood wild and naked
Felt no shame just my spirit awakened
Sinner
Sing it everything got my eyes got my face
Fireball drop from the sky
All my dreams have come to pass
Where's my faith, is it lost
Can't see it till I cast it off
Sinner, there is no such thing
Beginner, I have learned to sing
Forever, I must walk this earth
Like some forgotten soldier
Today I am still disconnected
To the face that I saw in the clouds
And the closest I get to contentment
Is when all of the barriers come down
Sinner
These things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
And the closest I get to contentment
Is when all of the barriers come down
Sinner
Sinner
Sinner
Got my eyes got my face
See it anyone got my nose got my blood
I must walk this earth
See it anyone got my eyes got my face
I must walk this earth
See it anyone got my eyes got my face
- Twisty Bass (Neil Finn) (5:09)
- A hangman's in the noose
The prisoner is loose
Wheel has come around
And the velvet curtain coming down
And I left it there
The suitcase on a chair
I feel my weight
And something tells me
There's a river underground
In a place where there's no one to be found
And no one came to see
The oldest show in town
Santa's on the cross
And innocence is lost
The music's in your mind
And the windscreen wipers move in time
No one came to see
The oldest show in town
And the stranger was a ghost
The killer was a priest
Took the first excuse
Made the madness seem cute lipped
On your own you'll find there's no escape
There are many ways to choose
And I don't know which one you should take
A home is all you want
On the back of a truck driving down the street
It doesn't seem so much
But it's all you need to make your life complete
And no one came to see
The oldest show in town
I lean the slightest bit towards you
White turns into brown, light goes to black
Your eyes danced in my reflection
And the horse ate my trousers
- Loose Tongue (N. Finn, J. Moginie) (4:12)
- Remember my loose tongue
Forget what I just said
I'd crawl over broken glass
If we could start again
Before our plans were made
When the world was young
The house is falling down
Because of my loose tongue
Shouldn't say so much
Shouldn't talk so loud
No sooner on your lips
Than it's all over town
In all our given days
How many gone to waste
A good man has been hung
Because of my loose tongue
Your skin is changing it's hue
Your guard is coming down fast
Looks like someone I knew
Uncovered happiness at last
All the wagging tongues
Too much information
In the future now
Under massive doubt
The papers on the street
Get trampled under feet
And they settled for a princely sum
Goodwill is coming down
And when it rains
Your well is full
He's only halfway through his life
He's only used up all his time
- Truth (N. Finn, J. Moginie) (4:03)
- Remember who we are
Supple and new
If I lose my way
Tell me the truth for all it's worth
Lifting up your head
Show me my rescue
What I said
Truth is worth more than pride
Truth is worth more than pride
Everything you do
Continues long after you've gone
Circle overhead with a view from the bed
So high and lonely
Sixteen times a day
He comes to ground to get some attention
What I said
Truth is worth more than pride
Truth it's worth more than pride
Truth it's worth more than pride
They have showered me with riches
And they say that I am worthy
Of their love and their attention
But they still don't know the
Truth
Everything you do
Continues long after you've gone
What I said
It's worth more than pride
Truth is worth more than pride
Truth can not be denied
- Astro (Neil Finn) (3:46)
- You weightless astronaut
You sunset diving bird
A cool wind set upon
The branches of a tree
You holding my attention
You are my first impression
And I can recognize
The life that I've been given
One day they will discover you
Low cloud moving cross the sky
One day they will uncover you
Young girl wash the sleep out of your eye
Dust on my piano
Wool rest never sleeping
All your best one-liners
Borrowed from a film
The thing that gets to me is
How you'll never free him
How the spirit yearns
Your body is a prison
One day they will discover you
Low cloud moving cross the sky
One day they will uncover you
And the thing that gets to me
Is how you're never free
How the spirit yearns
Your body is a prison
Bright as her eyes
Wide in the night
Why can't you see me
Come with the wind
Time to begin
There'll be no compromise
When all you want is wrapped around you
There's no saints, preserve us when we're dying
To pick us up from where we're lying
One day they will discover you
One day they will uncover you
Bright as her eyes
Wide in the night
They will discover you
They will discover you
- Dream Date (Neil Finn) (4:51)
- Remove yourself
From the past
Wherever you are
You don't have to stay
Old and wise
Lion's eyes
I wish you were here
To give me advice
Lightweight
Dream date
Fly or fall
It's my call
In the club
Halfway up
Whisky at five
A weekend retreat
Brave and young
The bells have rung
They're playing the tune
I'm tapping my feet
Lightweight
Dream date
Fly or fall
It's my call
Friend or foe
It's hard to know
I wish you were here
To give me advice
Lightweight
Dream date
Fly or fall
It's my call
Lightweight
Dream date
Fly or fall
It's my call
- Faster Than Light (Neil Finn) (4:23)
- Close your eyes go to sleep
Close your eyes get so dizzy
World is spinning in your bed
I know where the sun goes
Gone to wake up the sparrows
In England it's morning
In time you'll see that some things
Travel faster than light
In time you'll recognize
That love is larger than life
Now you know what you're missing
Now you've seen that I'm willing
If you're looking for the message
Close your eyes
Do you hear what I'm thinking
Is it how you imagined
In time you'll see that some things
Travel faster than light
In time you'll recognize
That love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness
Leaves you without debt
And bends the shape of things
That haven't happened yet
Close your eyes
It come changing like a lizard
Close your eyes
I know where the sun goes
I've seen the world turning
In time you'll find that some things
Travel faster than light
In time you'll recognize that
Love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness
Leaves you without debt
And bends the shape of things to come
That haven't happened yet
- Addicted (Neil Finn) (4:22)
- Hear the words a jumble try this tongue twister
Kevin has a caterpillar squeezed between his fingers
Hear the mailman come let's see what he delivers
And you wait and it makes you feel strange
As if you were afraid
And you lie with a look to the side
And you say I was addicted to the drug
But now I know when I've had enough
Could curl up and sleep on the floor
But I'm riding the train a hundred miles an hour
It feels like this train might never stop ooh
Watching static on the television
When the morning comes
And you wait and it makes you feel strange
As if you were deranged
With a look to the side
And you say I was addicted to the drug
But now I know when I've had enough
So far, we've come so far
