Playlist Crowded House

crowded house - don t dream it s over

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win

crowded house - into temptation

You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
you in your new blue dress
taking away my breath
the cradle is soft and warm
couldn't do me no harm
you're showing me how to give

into temptation
knowing full well the earth will rebel
into temptation
a muddle of nervous words

could never amount to betrayal
the sentence is all my own
the price is to watch it fail
as I turn to go
you looked at me for half a second
with an open invitation
for me to go

into temptation
knowing full well the earth will rebel
into temptation
safe in the wide open arms of hell

we can go sailing in
climb down, lose yourself when you linger long
into temptation
right where you belong
the guilty get no sleep

in the last slow hours of morning
experience is cheap
I should've listened to the warning
but the cradle is soft and warm

into temptation
knowing full well the earth will rebel
into your wide open arms
no way to break the spell

break this spell
don't tell

crowded house - i feel possessed

She said I could never do that
But I know you can, you are in my dream
We are one person not two of a kind
And what was mine is now in your posession
I could feel you underneath my skin
As the wind rushed in
Sent the kitchen table crashing
She said nobody move
Or I'll bring the house down

I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come around

It was one of those times
Wished I had a camera on me
Six foot off the ground
Well I know how that sounds
Look above you and beyond me too
That kind of view don't need an explanation
I'm not lying, not asking for anything
I just want to be there when it happens again

I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round

Whenever you invade my home
Everything I know flies out the window
It's above you and beyond me too
I don't want an explanation
But I'll be there when you bring the house down

I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
People are strange
I feel possessed when you come round

crowded house - better be home soon

Somewhere deep inside
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever

I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert

I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

So don't say no
Don't say nothing's wrong
Cos when you get back home
Maybe I'll be gone

It would cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it

I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

crowded house - saturday sun

Itâ??s a saturday sun
And the game is still on
And the waiting is done
Itâ??s all about you

As he calls out your name
On a hill far away
Ravens circle above
Itâ??s all about to change

Heâ??s insane
Calling on the day
��til the clouds get blown away
While inside his mind
Lie all of space and time
And the farthest ones unite

Itâ??s a saturday sun
And the madness is won
And the night has been sung
Out of existence
And my head is alright
Was the darkest of nights
Now the cadmium sun
Is calling on the day
Til the clouds get blown away

Thereâ??s an eye inside his mind
For all of space and time
Heâ??s been waiting for a sign

Looking for the revelation maybe
Or visions of the underworld
But when you saw the first light,
Then you know itâ??s alright

Itâ??s a saturday sun
And the madness is won
And the nightmare is done
In time he wakes
Colours up the sky
Make the darkness come to life
Memories inside his heart
Of everything he wants to know
And every place he has to go

crowded house - you are the one to make me cry

And Take Their Chances
Will Fasten The Line
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
And I Heard Them All Singing
For Comfort And Peace
And In My Confusion
Yeah I Still Believe
You Are The One To Make Me Cry
You Are 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 Signs That Go On Living
Make Circles In Time The Spiderweb 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 Are The One To Take Me Home
Of All The Stories In Your Life
Only Good Things Return To You
If I Could Only Say The Word
If You Could Hear Me Cry For Help
I Lift My Head Up To The Sky
But The Planes That Were Circling Now Have Gone

crowded house - it s only natural

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake of 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

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

But we'll be shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink in to 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

crowded house - time immemorial

Start in the way that you want to go on
Tear down the fence that you sit upon
It was good while it lasted but now it has gone
So face up to what you have done

For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you take away all the cameras

The house that we live in is falling apart
There's no guarantee coz we got it for free
And all the pretenders to somebody's throne
Are finding it out on there own

For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your public
And I will go everywhere you say
If you don't charge admission

Okay, we're lucky, but then again...

For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you sell me shown the secrets of your house
And I will know everything you say
Take away all the cameras, the cameras
And I will go anywhere you say
If you don't charge admission, admission

crowded house - sacred cow

Deliberate provocation
I 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 again

I 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

Cos I have seen inside your heart
Religious figues 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 Judgement 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 Judgement Day

Sacred Cow
Judgement Day
Coming Your Way

crowded house - my telly s gone bung

To come alive and bring some truth back to me yeah

crowded house - pineapple head

Detective is flat
No longer is always flat out
Got the number of the getaway car
Didn't get very far
As lucid as hell
These images moving so fast
Like a fever
So close to the bone
I don't feel too well

And if you choose
To take that path

I will play you like a shark
And i'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
To enflame you

Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number i hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago

And if you choose
To take that path

Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number i hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago

And if you choose
To take that path
Would you come to make me pay?

crowded house - sister madly

Now you're heading down to get someone
Should've done what he had to do years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
Now you're heading down to be someone
Someone that you've seen in a magazine
Your premonition is coming true
Oh baby you're not so green
No baby you're not so green
No baby you're nutso

Sister madly waking up the dead
You're systematically stepping on my head

Now you're heading down to find something
Something that you buried in your backyard
The position is coming through
From all the dirt that you're digging up
From all the dirt that you're digging up
Now you're heading down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
The opposition is coming through
From all the people that you're standing on
From all the people that you're standing on
Now you'd better take a firm hand

Sister madly waking up the dead
You're systematically stepping on my head

Now you're heading down to get someone
Someone that you should've had years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
You're hard to get a hand on

Sister madly waking up the dead
Systematically stepping on my head

crowded house - heaven that i m making

Plead with my saint
Wash his hands and feet
Find his complaints
Make this world complete

And this heaven that I'm making
Can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
It feels like I'm just waking up

Find out, don't think
I can't get used to it
Right on the brink
I end up losing it

And this heaven that I'm making
It can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
It feels like I'm just waking up

And I'll be there
With all of creation ?
And each conversation I hear
As I'm walking in through the crowd
As if I can float through the air

And this heaven

Well, this heaven that I'm making
It can't come quickly enough
And the big wave that I'm taking
Feels like I'm just waking up

If there is hell on Earth
There must be heaven, too
Both in one place
And not a second to lose

crowded house - italian plastic

I bring you plates from Rome
You say they look fantastic
I say we're having fun
Nothing like that Italian plastic

I bring you rocks and flowers
You say they look pathetic
You pick me up at night
I don't feel pathetic

When you wake up with me
I'll be your glass of water
When you stick up for me
Then you're my Bella Bambina

I say we're on a trip
Look's like we're on vacation
I say we're having fun
In our little constellation

When you wake up with me
I'll be your glass of water
When you stick up for me

Then I'll be your Bella Bambino, your man from the moon
I'll be your little boy running with that egg on his spoon
I'll be your soul surviver, your worst wicked friend
I'll be your piggy in the middle, stick with you till the end

When you wake up with me
I'll be your glass of water
When you stick up for me
The you're my Bella Bambina

Who ya gonna take to the ball tonight?
Who ya gonna take to the dance tonight?
Who ya gonna take to the dance tonight?
Who ya gonna take to the dance tonight, tonight?

crowded house - dr livingstone

Steam ship, sail down the river
Fight the mosquitoes that fly in a swarm
White smoke covers the jungle
See Dr. Livingston land with a thunk
Down where the sad willows gather
Young women weep for their dying babies
I am a white man in Africa
If I were to stay here
There'd be no one to save me

I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I hear survival in his hands
Switch to record
I get the picture
But I will never understand

Mad world, invisible army
Blow up the bridges and come like a storm
Young girl, eyes full of promise
Carry the baby and keeping it warm

Down where the sad willows gather
Young men go down on their knees
I am a white man in Africa
With more than just my god to appease

I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I hear survival in his hands
Switch to record
I get the picture
But I will never understand

How there is love in his face
'Midst of all this waste
In the Mozambique sun
Under the gun

I hear the drums
I hear survival in his hands
I hear the drums
There is a curse upon this land

I hear the drums
I know it's urgent
I hear survival in his hands
Hit record
Get the picture
I will never understand

Carry the sound and the fury
Left all alone in a war zone
Carry the sound and the fury
Hours later
Thoughts of my bed
Leave me tired and ready for sleep
So tell me about all the places you go
All the lives that you swallow, the people you keep
Deep in a monastery
That's where I want to be
Wrestle my soul
