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 through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah, I'm walking through the ruins
Well I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love

My will is broken, there's no escaping
I'm dragging my feet through the dust and rubble of our love
We build cathedrals to ransack and pillage
Religiously smash them all down

Walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl pulled it down
Yeah, I'm walking through the ruins
Well I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love

Sunlight is streaming through columns and pillars
Come out in the open, the walls have fallen down
Snap of her fingers, crack goes the ceiling
I'm feeling broken inside

Walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah, I'm walking through the ruins
Well I'm walking through the ruins of love ? the chance to say
I don't know what I'm doing,
I'm just walking through the ruins of love
(Okay)

Walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah I'm walking through the ruins
Yeah I know I could forget if I could only get away

Walking through the ruins every minute every day
Don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love, yeah
