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 »

You're my best friend, you help me 
Face the facts with your flights of fancy
You're the one I want to hobnob with
You're a man after my own heart.
Two is company, three's a crowd
At my temper, with family circle
have to pay the penalty
Just another allied casualty
You're my best friend, you're my only
Won't break or bend, you're no phony.
Melodrama, make me snap
Now my sidekick, is the world and his way
Come and help me, right some wrongs
We're in limbo, bollocks a kimbo
[chorus:]
 You're my best friend, you're my only
 Won't break or bend, you're no phony.
 I don't see you, we're still friendly
 Separate not for love or money...
 That's how it is for me and my friend [spoken]
 We hold each other aloft [spoken]
 We go crofting together [spoken]
 We take the smooth with the rough [spoken]
 [repeat chorus]
 [Tim:] Thank you, we'd like to do a song now from the 'True Colours'
 album. this was an album that hardly anyone knew about at the time,
 it was, it's a long time ago now, it was a bit of a cult sort of
 thing, uh. ...it was called True Colours, and um, we actually
 had a song called 'True Colours - I, I reckon Eddie we should just
 do a verse of that. now just for old time's sake
