Split Enz - Message to my girl

(Neil Finn) - Album; Conflicting Emotions
================================================-


I don't want to say I love you
That would give away too much
Hip to be detached and precious
The only thing you feel is vicious


I don't wanna say I want you
Even though I want you so much
It's wrapped up in conversation
Whispered in a hush
Though I'm frightened by the word
Think it's time that it was heard


No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that


Now I wake up happy
Warm in a lovers embrace
No one else can touch us
While we're in this place
So I sing it to the world
Simple message to my girl


No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that

[instrumental]

Though I'm frightened by the word
Think it's time I made it heard
So I sing it to the world
Simple message to my girl


No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that


No there's nothing quite as real
As a touch of your sweet hand
I can't spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand.

[instrumental fade out]



additional text??oh every night, I hear you call my name
I want to sleep in my dark zen room [???]
oh I have a mind to express my pain [???]
But I won't get back in your tomb


no I care, why I care, why you go now [???]
and every night sings the same song, same song
i feel it coming in my sleep [???]
...i don't want to say...
...i don't want to say!!...


i can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand...






[Tim:] We can hear you, we want to get down
Get down with you. ow ow!
Yeah-hah, yeah-hah, yeah yeah. yeah-hah, yeah-hah, yeah yeah
I'm going down to the woolshed baby, got my gumboots
I'm going down to the tractor baby, send it out
and... [???]


Saturday night
Eddie Rayner, Eddie Rayner I'm calling for, Eddie Rayner, Eddie Rayner
got the tractor out of the cowshed
[???]

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - My Brave Face

My Brave Face.
I've Been Living In Style
Unaccustomed As I Am To The Luxury Life.
I've Been Hitting The Town And It Didn't Hit Back.

I've Been Doing The Rounds
Unaccustomed As I Am To The Time On My Hands.
Now I Don't Have To Tell Anybody When I'm Gonna Get Back.

Ever Since You Went Away I've Had This Sentimental
Inclination Not To Change A Single Thing.
As I Pull The Sheets Back On The Bed I Want To Go Bury My Head
In Your Pillow.

Chorus:
Now That I'm Alone Again, I Can't Stop Breaking Down Again,
The Simplest Things Set Me Off Again
And Take Me To That Place
Where I Can't Find My Brave Face
Where I Can't Find My Brave Face
My Brave, My Brave, My Brave Face.

I've Been Living A Lie
Unaccustomed As I Am
To The Work Of A Housewife,
I've Been Breaking Up
Dirty Dishes And Throwing Them Away.

Ever Since You Left I Have Been Trying To
Compose A "Baby Will You Please Come Home" Note
Meant For You.
As I Clear Away Another
Untouched Tv Dinner
From The Table I Laid For Two.

Chorus:
Now That I'm Alone Again
I Can't Stop Breaking Down Again,
The Simplest Things Set Me Off Again
And Take Me To That Place
Where I Can't Find My Brave Face,
Where I Can't Find My Brave Face,
My Brave, My Brave, My Brave Face.
My Brave Face.

Seal - Don't Make Me Wait (Seal IV - 2003)

Are we tired of feeling blue
Can I get along with you
Just don't tell it's right
Every time we fuss and fight
What I really try to say
Is I won't be afraid, yah
If you say you're willing too
Close your eyes and maybe - maybe see it through

Don't make me wait long
Sounds like a sad song of mine
Every time we meet baby on the street there we go
Always seem to fight why we do I never now that
All I can take
'Cause you ain't easy
Some can relate
That's life, get back together, every time

It amazes me to say, yah
I've been so trying to find my way, close to you
To love divine is what I - what I'm gonna do
Yah, What I'm really trying to say
Is love won't deny me, cause everyday is like a new day again my friend
Lovin' till the end yah yah yah yah

Don't make me wait long
Sounds like a sad song of mine
Every time we meet baby on the street there we go
Always seem to fight why we do I never now that
All I can take
'Cause you ain't easy
Some can relate

Well thats life...
        So I dream of
        And dream of
        And dream of

Hey baby thats life...

        And dream of your life
        And dream of
        And that's how we make love

Thats life, it is yeh
        And we dream of
        And dream of
        And dream of
        And dream through the night

Baby, baby, baby, babe...


And when we kiss, oh all I miss, I just can't wait to see you again


Don't make me wait long
Don't make me wait long
Every time we meet baby on the street there we go
Always seem to fight why we do, I never now that
All I can take
'Cause you ain't easy
Some can relate, hey
That's life, get back together, every time.

Seal - Love's Divine (IV - 2003)

Then the rainstorm came, over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my, belief you see
And realized my mistake
But time threw a prayer, to me
And all around me became still

I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes

'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name

Well I try to say there's nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me

'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name

Love can help me know my name.
