Lyrics
Not The Girl You Think You Are(Neil Finn)
You're not the girl you think you are, no no
They're not his shoes under your bed, yeah yeah
He'll take you places in his car
That you won't forget, no
And all the people that you know
Will turn their heads as you go by
But you'll be hard to recognize
With the top down and the wind blowing, blowing
He won't deceive you
Or tell you the truth
Woman, he'll be no trouble
He won't write you letters
Full of excuses
Come on, I believe you have one in a million
You're not the girl you think you are
There's someone standing in your place
The bathroom mirror makes you look tall
But it's all in your head, in your head
He won't deceive you
Or tell you the truth
Woman, he'll be no trouble
He won't write you letters
Full of excuses
Come on, believe you have one in a million
He won't deceive you
Or tell you the truth
Come on, believe you have one
You're not the girl you think you are
Believe you have one
You're not the girl you think you are
Believe you have one
You're not the girl you think you are
Instinct
(Neil Finn)
I lit the match, I lit the match
I saw another monster turn to ash
Felt the burning lifting from my back
Do you recognize a nervous twitch
That exposes the weekness of the myth
When your turn comes round
And the light goes on
And you feel your attraction again
Your instinct can't be wrong
Seperate the fiction from the fact
I've been a little slow to react
But it's nearly time to flick the switch
And I'm hanging by a single stitch
Laughing at the stony face of gloom
When your turn comes round
And the light goes on
And you feel your attraction again
Your instinct can't be wrong
The fearless come and go,
Where the true present lies they’re calling down.
They’re calling down, yeah.
Calling.
Laughing at the stony face of doom
When your turn comes round
And the days get long
And you feel your attraction to him
Your instinct can't be wrong
Calling down, crawling down
Everything Is Good For You
(Neil Finn)
I see a man with a flag and he leads the procession
And a woman shedding tears for a man locked in prison.
When the two locked eyes and for a moment I was taken
And all paths lead to a single conclusion...
Everything is good for you if it doesn't kill you.
Everything is good for you.
One man's ending is another one's beginning.
Everything is good for you.
It's a nightmare jump into a restless ocean
Where the reckless come to state their position.
And if you come undone it might just set you free.
Everything is good for you if it doesn't kill you.
Everything is good for you.
One man's ending is another one's beginning.
Bring back your head. Here comes trouble
To turn the angry word, don't cover you up.
Everything is good for you if it doesn't kill you.
Everything is good for you if it doesn't kill you.
Everything is good for you, it's good for you.
