Songwriters: Neil Mullane Finn
#crowdedhouse #neilfinn #splitenz
Split Enz were a New Zealand band formed in Auckland in 1972. Regarded as the first New Zealand band to gain significant recognition outside of Australasia, they were noted for their flamboyant visual style and theatrical performances. Originally formed by university students Tim Finn and Phil Judd as an acoustic-based act, they built a strong regional reputation as an art rock band before moving to Australia in 1975, where they recorded and released their debut album Mental Notes. Their second and third albums, Second Thoughts (1976) and Dizrythmia (1977) were recorded in the UK. Judd left before the recording of the latter and was replaced by Tim Finn's brother Neil. This change, as well as Neil's increasing involvement in the songwriting process, signaled a shift away from the band's art rock roots and towards a new wave-influenced pop sound that culminated in the band's most commercial period in the early 1980s starting with the single "I Got You", whose breakthrough along with its parent album True Colours (1980) gained them significant international success.

I don't want to say "I love you"
That would give away too much.
It's hip to be detached and precious,
The only thing you feel is vicious.
I don't want to say "I want you"
Even though I want you so much.
It's wrapped up in conversation,
It's whispered in a hush.
Though I'm frightened by the word,
Think it's time I made it heard.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Now I wake up happy
Warm in lovers embrace.
No one else can touch us
While we're in this place.
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple message to my girl.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Though I'm frightened by the word,
Think it's time I made it heard.
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple message to my girl.
No more empty self possession,
Visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
It's more than that.
Oh there's nothing quite as real
As the touch of your sweet hands.
I can't spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand
