The Climber

by Neil Finn

Beside me now are strangers to my eyes
They might be getting crazy might be wise
we’re stranded either way
in such a lonely place
i’m looking out for you among the flies
that wait in line
for days on end

i try to reach the top most every day
in hope i turn my face upto the sky
the cover hangs so low
is see no sign of life
nothing springs to mind
among the flies that wait in line for days on end
and nights so cold it’s always so intense

and here we are
there’s a smile between us and its going on

you and me have always gotten through
anyone can tell you that it’s true
you feel it every time you drive away from home
the headlights hypnotise
and they take you off towards the sea
into the night you run away
with thoughts you cannot hide

Why don’t the buildings cry?

His lungs are machines
His hands are a fridge
You fuckwits don’t
Deserve the privilege
Of sitting in the afternoon
Sun while it sets
Enjoying every second
Of your cigarettes

They said
You bury
The dead
What’s buried?
Rosie said
It’s something you do
When people are dead

The Body

The body just laid there cold as a stone
I stared at the floor to pretend I’m alone
She’s explaining to the children I barely know
How a body can lay there without it’s soul

I wonder where I can buy funeral clothes
As I sit on a train and cry on my own
I don’t believe in heaven so there’s no place to go
So the body will lay there without it’s soul

I Should Just Ask You To Marry Me

For you know who you are

I should just ask you to marry me
There’s no one I’d rather be married with
Am I wasiting time by waiting
I’m running the risk of letting you slip

We agree on just about everything
If only to disagree about everything
Even your friends can see…

That I should just ask you to marry me
There’s no one I’d rather be living with
There’s nothing more I’m looking for
That you don’t already come packaged with

We agree on just about everything
If only to disagree about everything
Even your ma can see
That I should stop second guessing
And just pop the question

I should just ask you to marry me
There’s no one I’d rather be kissing with
My head’s so high my feet are in the sky
I hope someone up here’s selling rings

We agree on just about everything
If only to disagree about everything
Baby let’s agree on one more thing

That it’s crazy
To be alone
When I know
Yeah I know.

A conversation

Nothing’s gonna happen but…

Why do you say that?

Oh, well, you know it’s not that…

Why would you even say that?

Well I’m not counting it out…

Yes you are!

No, I meant despite what happens…

Just don’t say that dude

…or maybe regardless of what happens

OK

It’s just nice to talk to her.

Just don’t say that.
