Buddy can we pretend nothing's missing
Between us now you're leaving
Pretty soon you'll fill a room with ecstasy and kerosene
Sleeping in the shadow of another flightpath
For so long you've waited on
Someone to love to come along
And grieve for you when you're leaving home
Impermanent
Celibate
Elegant
It's only once I've read between the empty lines
I can understand and read on
It seems to me that suddenly we were happy being miserable
Sweeping out the gutters on your neighbour's footpath
Loving arms and lucky charms
Aren't lucky for the ones who love
To care for you when you're feeling numb
Impertinent
Intelligent
Elegant
I can't believe that we'd fall in love
How could we have been so dumb?
Why on earth should we make up
Just before you're leaving town?
For so long you've waited on
Someone to love to come along
And grieve for you when you're leaving

I hear that you believe in a resurrection
I hear that you believe in a Maori Jesus
You say that you await a second coming
On the gorse covered hills of sheep and possums
The moon is high
In an Auckland sky
Four million dreams can't be right
When they're dreams of nothing
I hear your next door neighbour's a piece of beefcake
Telling everyone he's hung like a Brontosaurus
Apparently he makes you feel a little inadequate
Says he's got buns of steel
Says he's a genius
The tree is still
On one tree hill
I've got a myth to kill
And I'm going to kill it
The sun is high
In an Auckland sky
I've got an axe to grind
And I'm going to grind it
Going overboard in the South Pacific

Love is coming and going
It’s biting, fighting, pushing and shoving
Being in love is a lot like eating chocolate
It’s sweet and sickly and sometimes a little bit sticky
Sleeping in pyjamas all day all day
Sleeping in pyjamas all day long
Reading Sunday papers all day all day
Reading Sunday papers all day long
Summer is sunshine and burning
Snogging on the beach, it’s eating and it’s drinking
And summertime means sand up your cossie
Boy in dick-sticker, girl in bikini
Lying on the beach all day all day
Sunning on the rocks all day long
Inviting all your worst friends to a backyard barbie
Snags on the barbie four inch long
Friendship is cheese and macaroni
It’s a little slice of old baloney, mushy peas and mashed potatoes
And being in a friendship involves a smorgasbord of emotion
From a barbecue of betrayal to a buffet of devotion

Dents Droites

you’ve beaten
every doubt with a smile
today is the first day of a brand new start
the first new day of the rest of your life
all you needed
was belief in yourself
didn’t need any help but it helped that someone else
could believe it as well
maintenant tu as
dents blanches
sans fautes dents droites
all the waiting
it could drive you insane
but you’re strong and now they’re gone
let’s celebrate the braces off you’ll never need them again
you’ve beaten, defeated
every doubt with a smile
today is the first day of a brand new start
the first new day of the rest of your life
all you needed
was belief in yourself
didn’t need any help but it helped that someone else
could believe it as well
maintenant tu as
dents blanches
sans fautes dents droites
all the waiting, the patience
it could drive you insane
but you’re strong and now they’re gone
let’s celebrate the braces off you’ll never need them again

You've got a funny way about you
You seem to laugh when it hurts
You've got no right to be pissed off or disappointed
You've got no right to be kicking up a storm in your bed
You've got a funny way of talking
You seem to miss out your verbs
You should know a thing or two about word construction
Instead your conversation's full of meaning without sense
You seem to laugh when it hurts
Don't know why you waste your time
Trying to make me part of your life
You've got a funny way of singing
You sound like Mark E Smith-ah
Your morbid preoccupation with dying
May be selfish but it's good as any reason to live
You seem to laugh when it hurts
Don't know why you waste your time
Trying to make me part of your life

Nothing ever lasts long
Nothing ever lasts long
Nothing ever is forever
Though nothing feels quite right
Everything's going to be alright
Don't worry about pulling the weeds out of your garden
Weeding helps the flowers to grow
Don't worry be happy
Don't you worry at all
Because
Nothing ever lasts long
Nothing ever lasts long
Nothing ever is forever
Though nothing feels quite right
Everything's going to be alright
Chasing rainbows in the dead of night
Everything's going to be alright

Tell me this is real
Tell me I can feel
An angel caught on a lightning rod
Staring through a storm at the face of God
Stranded in a flux between the earth and the sky and silence
Don't ask me what it's like
Dying near the speed of light
A sigh at the edge of a universe
Staring down the barrel at the face of death
I'll execute a split, dance a little jig
Leave a fingerprint in the snow of chaos
Accelerate
Can I ask you a question of ethics
Of right and wrong?
Can I pose a paradox of logic
Between big and small?
Will you find evidence of a contract
Between God and man?
Can I ask you to make a distinction
Between life and...
