Split Enz

Split Enz were one of the most successful New Zealand musical acts of the 1980s. Formed in the early 1970s and variously featuring Phil Judd and brothers Tim Finn and Neil Finn, the band would go on to achieve chart success in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada ‒ most notably with their 1980 single "I Got You" - and build a cult following elsewhere. Their musical style was eclectic, incorporating influences from art rock, vaudeville, swing, punk, rock, new wave, and pop. Split Enz established a reputation for a highly distinctive visual style, thanks partly to their colourful, offbeat costumes and hairstyles. more »

Walking down a road hedged with roses
Time stands still forever
Somewhere in the shadows hiding
Sits an old man laughing

Talking to the wind I drank the beauty
I found no time to count the hours
Even though I do my best
Sometimes I get to thinking
But it really don't amount to much...no

Window shades are securely drawn
Childish patter is heard no more
Papers left strewn upon the lawn
And there's nobody home next door, no-one

Well was that what you meant
When you said I...I should stay at home
Was that what you thought
When I left you on your own

Dida la da, dida la da, dida la dah

I turned to my guide but just as I feared
The preaching began so I...disappeared
To a tiny door with a golden sign
That magic place of great renown

Only lines, on our four dead minds(?)
Yes only rags for our blinds
You know that bare boards, and paper walls
They don't make any sense
When there's only Time to kill
