Lyrics Crowded House - English Trees

Lyrics Crowded House - English Trees

English trees in my garden
We planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grove

They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time in the fallen snow
Up against the sky made a silhouette show

England cries and she plays for him
The chords entwined like a requiem
Although it's springtime and color is new
In Regent's Park I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow
'Cause my heart's been broken down

It's so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing's sadder, I know
Than the passing of time

Won't forget me
You won't forget me

English trees in my garden
Summer's missed you, my darling
Yet all your crimes are forgiven
Yet all your crimes are forgiven
And I must be wise somehow

And England cries, oh
There's English trees in my garden

Lyrics Crowded House - Skin Feeling

Lyrics Crowded House - Skin Feeling

(I see some very nice skin out there)

I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the pigment in your skin
I like the way it moves me

I like kids when they're asleep
Their little arms around you
I like the way we play games
Don't lose that skin feeling

I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
It's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl

I like black and I like red
I like that orange circle
I like the things that you said
When you were misbehaving

I like the people on TV
But no one looks like me
I love you and you love me
Don't lose that skin feeling

I'm looking old I'm feeling young
It's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl

I love the pigment in your skin
I love the way it moves me
I like the smell of that shot
I like the way it serves me

I like the things that you said
When you were misbehaving
I love you and you love me
Don't lose that skin feeling

I'm looking old I'm feeling young
It's the truth my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl

It's the truth my child
Let me hold your hand

Lyrics Crowded House - Whispers And Moans

Lyrics Crowded House - Whispers And Moans

Dull, dull grey
The colour of our times
Cool, cool space
That I still hope to find
Far beyond the veil
The sound of whispers and moans

Slow, time bomb
The clamour of the street
I hear this town
It never goes to sleep
And I will catch the taxi driver
Weeping like a wounded beast

Then I wake up in your room
To share one piece of your life
When tomorrow comes we may not be here at all
Without your whispers and moans
'Cause here you come to carry me home
Here you come to carry me home

Love that sound
Time erase
Tension wheels
Cool heels
Won't ya come on open the bid 'fore too long

Then I wake up in your room
To share one piece of your life
I'd give anything to be a fly upon the wall
And hear your whispers and moans
I'd like to hear your whispers and moans
Here you come to carry me

We are the mirrors
Are the mirrors of each other in a lifetime of suspicion
Cleansed in a moment of recognition
You gave your life for it
Worth it's weight in gold
And growing empires and art collectors
And Alan's sound investments
Will one day be forgotten
One day be forgotten, yeah

Lyrics Crowded House - You Are The One To Make Me Cry

Lyrics Crowded House - You Are The One To Make Me Cry

Who'll face the tide and take their chances
Will fasten the lights to broken branches?
Adrift on the ocean in wild winter storms
I have to imagine things to keep myself warm

The night closing in, but not to worry
Told everyone I know that I was sorry
But I heard them all singing for comfort and peace
And in my confusion here I still believe

You are the one to make me cry
You were the one to take me home
Of all the people in my life
My thoughts keep returning to you
But consciousness is fading fast

Surrounded by sights that go on living
Make circles in time, the spider web spinning
But I have no illusions of where I am now
I'll let this wave take me and draw me down

You are the one to make me cry
You were the one to take me home
Of all the stories in my life
Only good things return to you
If I could only say the words
If you could hear me cry for help
But I'd lift my head up to the sky
But the planes that were circling now have gone

Lyrics Crowded House - Tall Trees

Lyrics Crowded House - Tall Trees

Watch out big ships are waiting
Salt frozen on your cheek
I saw a girl and boy arriving
And a steamer put out to sea

Tall tree stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance

Sun sleeps on misty morning
Light years from channel three
I fell halfway to zero
Call me a hero I might just agree

Tall tree stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance

And the roses you grow
Have a powerful scent
They'll be breaking your heart
By the morning

I feel halfway to zero
Call me a hero I might just agree

Tall tree stand in the distance
Remember when you were green
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
Tall tree, tall tree
Don't wipe the salt from your skin
You must keep running the distance
Tall tree

Lyrics Crowded House - Pour Le Monde

Lyrics Crowded House - Pour Le Monde

He imagines the world
As the angel ascending
Like the ghost of a man
Who is tied up to the chair

And he tries to believe
That his life has a meaning
With his hand on his heart
Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre

And I wake up blind
Like my dreams were too bright
And I lost my regard
For the good things that I had
And the radio was sad

When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
'Cause the liars moved in
And they believe their own dark medicine

You act so nonchalant
But he is not a dog
Perform for you in the stadium
For the world, not for the war

And he won't hesitate
Though it might lead to heartache
In the nightclub Indigo
For the world, not for the war
Pour le monde, pas pour la guerre

When you listen for good
In the hope that comes to nothing
'Cause the liars moved in
And they believe their own dark medicine
Believing it's good
Behind their jaded eyes: a dilemma

He's the best you've ever had
He's so low you'll never know
He's the best you've ever known
He's so low you'll never know

He's so low you'll never know
(He's the best)

Lyrics Crowded House - Instinct

Lyrics Crowded House - Instinct

I lit the match
I lit the match
I saw another monster turn to ash
Felt the burden lifting from my back
Do you recognise a nervous twitch
That exposes the weakness of the myth
When your turn comes round
And the light goes on
And you feel your attraction again
Your instinct can't be wrong
Separate the fiction from the fact
A (get) little slow to react
But it's nearly time to flick the switch
And I'm hanging by a single stitch
Laughing at the stony face of gloom
When your turn comes round
And the light goes on
And you feel your attraction again
Your instinct can't be wrong
Feel this come and go
Where the true present lies
Calling down, calling down, calling
Laughing at the stony face of gloom
When your turn comes round
And the days get long
And you feel your attraction to him
Your instinct can't be wrong
Calling down
Calling down

Lyrics Crowded House - Mad World

Lyrics Crowded House - Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world. .. World
Enlarge your world
Mad world

Lyrics Crowded House - It's Only Natural

Lyrics Crowded House - It's Only Natural

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It's bigger than us
You don't have to worry about it

Ready or not here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
You know it's gonna come true
Here in your arms I remember

[Chorus]
It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
Feel the same way too

It's easy when you don't try
Going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession
Now you've seen me at my worst
And it won't be the last time I'm down there

I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book
That's fallen down between your knees
Please, let me have my way with you

It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
Feel the same way too

It's circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky
And we don't even have to try
Shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink into the bay, they'll be under the rocks again
You don't have to say I know you're afraid

It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
Feel the same way too

It's circumstantial, it's something I was born to
It's only natural, can I help it if I want to? Can I help it if I want to?

Lyrics Crowded House - Sacred Cow

Lyrics Crowded House - Sacred Cow

Deliberate provocation
Is what you gave to me
You got me going
You got me going

How could such a simple thing
Get so out of control
You let me down again
You let me down againI know my place inside your heart

The painted figure that glows in the dark
No you're not mysterious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
In my head

In my head
In my head
You'd never know it
You'd never know it

I went home in a jealous rage
You were rolling on the glass in a younger age
You know what's good for me
I know you're too good for me
'Cause I have seen inside your heart

Religious figures that glow in the dark
No you're not too precious now
And I don't worship that sacred cow
Go and try as you may

To get a sharp shift on Judgment Day
You let me down again
You let me down again
I know my place inside your heart

The painted figure that glows in the dark
No you're not too precious now
I don't worship that sacred cow
Go and try as you may

To get a sharp shift on Judgment Day
Sacred cow
Judgment Day
Coming your way

Lyrics Crowded House - That's What I Call Love

Lyrics Crowded House - That's What I Call Love

You take away my air
You make my lungs collapse
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Livin' in your memory
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Love

I tidy up your room
You tidy up my life
Show me the door

I'm abandoned here
I'm warm to the core
I can feel
You sink I swim
We never got in that deep
You bend I break
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Hangin' on and fallin' over
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Love

I got a little room
The air's still pretty bad
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That's what I call
Hangin' on and fallin' over
That's what I call
Tired and deflated
That's what I call
Feeling devastated
That's
Livin' with a vacuum cleaner
What
Sweepin' up your memory
I call love

Lyrics Crowded House - World Where You Live

Lyrics Crowded House - World Where You Live

Here's someone now whose got the muscle.
His steady hand could move a mountain.
Expert in bed,
But come on now,
There must be something missing.
That golden one leads a double life
You'll find out.
Tell me,

I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live,
To the world where you live.

So here we lie against each other
These four walls can never hold us
We're looking for wide open spaces
High above the kitchen
And we're strangers here
On our way to some other place

But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live,
To the world where you live.
Oh, to the world where you live

Friends come round
You might remember and be sad
Behind their eyes is unfamiliar

Do you climb into space
To the world where you live,
To the world where you live.
Oh, to the world where you live
To the world where you live.
To the world where you live.
To the world where you live.
To the world where you live.

Lyrics Crowded House - Not The Girl You Think You Are

Lyrics Crowded House - Not The Girl You Think You Are

You're not the girl you think you are, no no
They're not his shoes under your bed, yeah yeah
He'll take you places in his car
That you won't forget, no

All the people that you know, yeah
Will turn their heads as you go by
But you'll be hard to recognise
With the top down and the wind blowing, blowing

He won't deceive you but tell you the truth
Woman, he'll be no trouble

He won't write you letters full of excuses
C'mon, I believe you have one in a million

You're not the girl you think you are, yeah
There's someone standing in your place
The bathroom mirror makes you look tall,
But it's all in your head, in your head

He won't deceive you he'll tell you the truth
Woman, he'll be no trouble

He won't write you letters full of excuses
C'mon, I believe you have one in a million

He won't deceive you but tell you the truth
C'mon, I believe you have one
You're not the girl you think you are
C'mon I believe you have one
You're not the girl you think you are
C'mon I believe you have one
You're not the girl you think you are

Lyrics Crowded House - Mansion In The Slums

Lyrics Crowded House - Mansion In The Slums

I'd much rather have a cavern in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
The taste of success only lasts you
Half an hour or less
But it loves you when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death
I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room
Than an isolation tank
I wish I was a million miles away
From the manager's door
There is trouble at the bank
You laugh at yourself
As you go deep into debt
Laugh at yourself
While he's breathing down your neck
Who can stop me
With money in my pocket
Sometimes I get it free
The best of both worlds
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills
I'd much rather have a mansion...in the hills
Than a mansion in the slums
Yeah I'd much rather
What I mean is, would you mind if I had it all
I'll take it when it comes
And you laugh at yourself
While you're bleeding to death
And somebody else is always
Breathing down your neck
Laugh at yourself
While he's hanging over your head
The best of both worlds
It'll soon be over
