Time on Earth

Crowded House Time on Earth Lyrics
1.Nobody Wants To

Down on the ocean floor
That's where I'm heading for
Hold on to a sinking stone
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
They make it go away
Pretending that it's all ok
Broken pieces on the ground
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Nobody protects you... yeah
And we're losing some faith
We used to cry
We used to say why
For all I know
I might not get home
I found out
If you opened it up
Nobody wants to think about it
What you suspected all along
Everything he told you was wrong
And you can see it if you want
Nobody wants to
end
Nobody wants to think about it
They make it go away
What you suspected all along
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to think about it


2.Don't Stop Now

Fall in hate with me with one trick
Fall in hate with me with one trick
Another pleasant day in the countryside
Tears on a stormy night
You can't follow my directions home
God knows where the satellite's taking us
Who knows what is right in front of us
But I hang on every word
Don't stop now
Well, don't stop now
Get fooled by the lightning every time
Cut from the vaunted
I'm haunted, till death do us part
'Cause I want you bad, ah
See the afterimage of my outline
Fall in hate with me with one trick
Then I turn the wrong way round
The yeah-yeah tears
Well, don't stop now
The now and here
The without anyone at all
Give me something I can cry about
I'm torn without
'Cause you don't want me no more
The church just ten miles out of town
The devil gonna track me down
But babe don't worry
Travel through a tunnel
'Cause when you scratch-scratch my door
No number on the house
We are the lurking
No birds are flying south
Sometimes you have to turn
The panzers
The black as coal as night
Stealing the stealthy
The wrong way round
And stellar
Until we get it right
And times you will return
Notice the yearlings
The dead things
The pretty as you please
Give me something I can write about
I am the regent, the marquis
Sowing my bad seeds
'Cause I want you bad, ah
Fall in hate with me with one trick
All I want is something I can cry about
You will want it all
As St. Patrick pipes on!

All I want is something I can cry about
end
God knows where the satellite's taking us
Get fooled by the lightning every time
The church just ten miles out of town
We are the lurking
'Cause you don't want me no more
Give me something I can cry about
No number on the house
Give me something I can write about
The yeah-yeah tears


3.She Called Up


4.Say That Again

Say that again
I wont forget
The phrase that turned in my head
And at the start
It makes no sense
There on the shore
The girl that i adore
I know youv got to fight the plan
you got to bend the rules
yeah i know
you got be your own man
i think too much
the alphabet
they dance a pirhoutte in my head
a chance remark
becomes the spark
and maybe luck has come again
the hint of a smile
the accidental rhyme
and i know
youv got to fight the plan
youv got to bend the rules
yeah i know
you got to be your on man
Midnight is standing in the shadows
this haunting is a reckless escape
late nights of crawling on the sidewalk
lets stay on in the mansion for the weekend
lets go on making moments last a lifetime
the hint of a smile
the accidental rhyme
And i know
youv got to fight the plan
you got to bend the rules
yer i know
you got to be your own man
you got to break the rules
and i know
you got to be your own man
lets go on making moments last a lifetime
lets go on
end
There on the shore
I know youv got to fight the plan


and i know
And i know
lets go on
the hint of a smile
i think too much
Midnight is standing in the shadows
lets go on making moments last a lifetime


5.Pour Le Monde

he imagines the world
as the angel ascending
like the ghost of a man
who is tied up to the chair
and he tries to believe
that his life has a meaning
pour le monde
and i wake up blind
like my dreams were to bright
and i lost my reguard
for the good things that i had
and the radio was sad
in a hope that comes to nothing
coz the liars moved in
and they believe their own dark medicine
but he is not a dog
perform for you in the stadium
for the world not for the war
and he wont hesitate
though it might lead to heartache
in the nightclub indigo
pour le monde
when you listen for good
in a hope that comes to nothing
coz the liars have moved in
and they brew their own dark medicine
believing its good
behind their jaded eyes a dilemma
hes the best that you ever had
hes so low youll never know end
hes so low youll never know end


pour le monde
when you listen for good
and i wake up blind
but he is not a dog
in a hope that comes to nothing
pour le monde


6.Even A Child

I want to turn on the lights
i want to keep your hopes alive
so where do i begin to help you belive again
makers of secret planes
keepers of our last remains
dream of a holy state
in a nightmare time you know i meant it well
even a child knows you dont waste it
a promise is only given once
and there is no doubt that changes have begun
even a child knows that you cant fake it
as long as the world as the world is waking up
the stories left to write
the ebb and flow of my life
to justify the end
ill do everything i can
and its a dangerous game
i heard you tell someone that you dont care
but i dont believe the message
and when you sing about love
even a child knows you dont waste it
as long as the world is waking up
and there is no doubt that changes have begun
even a child knows you dont fake it
a promise is only given once
theres nothing like waking up in some foreign town
music is a call to prayer
wailing out of the speakers in the market place
even a child
even a child knows you dont waste it
a present can always be delivered twice
you are free now to receive the gift of insight
from now on lets be open
all in time lets breathe in
am i brave ?
your so brave
am i afraid ?
no not afraid
even the child


even a child


even a child knows you dont waste it

even a child knows you dont waste it
theres nothing like waking up in some foreign town
the stories left to write


7.Heaven That I'm Making

Plead with my saint
wash his hands and feet
find his complaint
and this heaven that im making
it cant come quickly enough
and the big wave im taking
mind out dont think
i cant get used to it
right on the brink
and this heaven that im making
it cant ocme quickly enough
and the big wave that im taking
and ill be there
if all of creation is kind
each convosatino i hear
as im walking through the crowd
this heaven
this is heaven that im making
this is heaven
it cant come quickly enough
and this big boat that im taking
if there is hell on earth
there must be heaven too
both in one place
and not a second to lose
end


this heaven

if there is hell on earth
and this heaven that im making
and ill be there
mind out dont think
and this heaven that im making


8.A Sigh

A sigh
from the deepest well
you can tell a lot
by not saying a thing
It's true
between us, my friend
this longing...
A sigh
for loneliness to end
no changing the story now
a sigh
from the emptiest part
it's a tender place
a sigh
is more than I can bear
this show is not
fooling anyone
but it's all for you
but i think your mind is made up


9.Transit Lounge

Talk to her
That's right
Talk to her
That's right
Take a satellite
Dream about
The time
And in the coconut grove
You can't imagine the scene
Another
Talk to her
That's nice
Dream on her
That's right
Well, she's the only one you know
Where you from and where you been Think about
In the transit lounge
And I wasn't sure
Plenty hours spent
Was yesterday's news
Not 100% sure
Lying on the floor
Of the transit lounge
You better make sure
You don't sleep too sound
There'll be no announcements made
Dream about
The things
Wonder all
The one
And all the stupid things I said
Still haunt you, still linger
And in the coconut grove
You can't imagine the scene
And now the truck unloads
The camera flash goes off
See the tallest man alive
In time, I fall at his feet
Before this long plane ride
end
And in the coconut grove
Talk to her
Well, she's the only one you know
Dream on her
And in the coconut grove
I spent a lot of time
You better make sure
Dream about
Talk to her
The camera flash goes off
Lying on the floor
Plenty hours spent
Dream about
Take a satellite
And all the stupid things I said
Wonder all


10.English Trees

English trees in my garden
they planted seeds in a faraway land
in between the palms and succulent grow
they loose their leaves in the winter
Once upon a time in the fallen snow
up against the sky made a silhouette show
English cries and she plays for him
Her cords entwined like a requiem
and though its springtime and colour is new
in Regents park i will mourn for you
and i must be wise somehow
coz my hearts been broken down
its so far to fall and so hrd to climb
nothing sadder i now
summers missed you my darling
all your crimes are forgiven
all your crimes are forgiven
you wont forget me
theres english trees in my garden

you wont forget me


Once upon a time in the fallen snow
like english trees in my garden
and england cries
