Disturbing Crowded House Lyric

I wake up in your room
Share one piece of your life
I'd give anything to be a fly upon the wall
And hear your whispers and moans
I like to hear your whispers and moans

Not choice Neil. Not choice.

A slightly more disturbing Neil lyric (theologically speaking) comes from the song 'Distant sun':

And I'm lying on the table,
Washed out in the flood,
Like a Christian fearing
vengeance from above...

(P.S. The next line 'I don't pretend to know what you want, but I offer love' is one of those Neil Finn heart-melters.)

A Kiwi singer called Brooke Fraser covered the song on the 'She will have her way' album, where famous chicks covered the songs of Neil and Tim Finn (it's a beautiful album) but because she's a Christian, she decided to omit that line.

PS HOW is it that the word verification that I have to type in to make this comment is 'Hester'? How did that happen? Paul, are you out there?

everything is good for you
if it doesn't kill you

Hey, don't look now, but there goes God
In his sexy pants and his sausage dog
And he can't stand Beelzebub
Cause he looks so good in black, in black

I get sooo annoyed at the Crowded House lyric, Jonny!

It's, in my humble opinion, their lamest song.

Loving your blog Pryderi! Oh, and I don't know what you mean about over-doing the karaoke ;)

Hi Tracy - thanks!

There are heaps of disturbing Crowded House lyrics... I'm also not a fan of 'Everything Is Good For You'.

I think Neil Finn is/was a very horny man:
"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"

That's pretty spooky! I think word verification has become less random recently - like they've tried to make it fun for people.

Perhaps Neil Finn is what Holden Caulfield would refer to as a 'sexy bastard'...
