Neil Finn - Second Nature Lyrics






She'll be the queen of the bees with a worker divine
(Second nature)
She'll be the buzz that you heard in the back of your mind
(My ears are bleeding)
Show me the birth of a legend that can't be controlled
(She's her own one)
Waking us up with a song that can never grow old
(Can you believe it)

He's on a Vespa
He wears a hairnet
A tattooed arrow heart
To wrap her arms around
See him leaning
Around the corner
He is a sensitive guy ([Single/Video:] At seventy miles an hour)
In love
That could be dangerous
He is a lightning rod to love
That comes from the sky above
He is a man to trust in love
(And not just a likeness of)
And just when you think everything is lost

Give me a world that the travelers have never laid eyes on
(Second nature)
I wonder if love can discover the natural high
(Stop the bleeding)
How many days that you waste as you make up your mind
(Your second nature)
Freaking out with the knowledge that everyone dies
(You don't believe it)

He's on a Vespa
He wears a hairnet
A tattooed arrow heart
To wrap her arms around
See him leaning
Around the corner
He is a sensitive guy ([Single/Video:] At seventy miles an hour)
In love
That could be dangerous
He is a lightning rod to love
That comes from the sky above
He is a man to trust in love
(And not just a likeness of)
And just when you think everything is lost

A tattooed arrow heart
To wrap her arms around
She wants to kiss him
But showing your affection's not allowed

    "70 miles an hour. In love. That could be dangerous." Best lyric Neil has ever written. Gone! Great song, but I'm heading back to the 4th weekend's version."

    D.... M....

    Doctor Mu Feels like he did some second guessing..i think this great song a bit because of it. Still great though...

    D.... M....

    @DM Stuart Better second nature than second guessing! Still a fantastic song.

  3. m.... l....

    Hi, Neil Finn, i'm Brazilian, I live in Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil. Since i've heard for the first audition this song, every day I come here to listen again and again, this song can make freedom to my soul, thanks for this pleasure. You don't know how makes me happy this melody. Go on, dream your dream and do it more. God bless you.

  14. C.... H....

    Beautiful. Another classic.

  15. B.... C....

    TRUE GENIUS AT WORK

  16. K.... F....

    So. Good.

  17. J.... ....

    I literally get goose bumps with the tattoed arrow heart line, every.....single...time.

  18. C.... ....

    Elroy's bass work on this one and guitar work on Independence Day are fabulous. Absolutely spot on.

  19. R.... ....

    Now stay with me on this...I never thought too much about Split Enz. Crowded House? Well, a little more but... Then Woodface landed. I saw them live on their promo tour. Oh, what a fool I’d been. Utterly amazingly transformative experience. And he just keeps getting better. I’d go gay for this man. My favourite performer...and it’s daylight back to the next.

  20. i.... ....

    EJ is so enthusiastic and cheerful. It radiates not only in the video, but the audio as well. She's lovely.

  21. A.... E....

    Love this song - what a great songwriter and musician (hope he does a show in London

  22. S.... H....

    I can't tell you how many times I have listened to this. I can't count that high.

  23. D.... Y....

    Wow...recorded live with orchestra, band, backup, cameras all crammed in the studio at once! This is the way it should be! No auto tune, no layers or need of "fixing" via technology! I can't get enough! I love your satisfied nod at the end of the video! Thank you for filming this and letting us witness the magic!

  24. D.... Y....

    What a MASTERPIECE! I haven't been excited about an album for far too long but I am now! Came here to check you out because of the Fleetwood Mac news but stayed and subscribed for YOU! Thank you Fleetwood Mac for helping me RE discover the amazing songwriting of Neil Finn. Initially, I was ticked off about Lindsey not touring again but now I can't wait to see the new lineup! Please sing Second Nature. It is perfect for a Mac playing! I hope your Mac gig helps others find this amazing album like I did.

  25. G.... v....

    Again such a fabulous mix of sounds, rithems and voices

  26. e.... ....

    I wanna see a vesper get to 70 mph around a corner HAHAHAHHAA

  27. A.... ....

    One of Neil’s absolute greatest songs!

  28. F.... C....

    Last night @ the Auckland Arts Festival (09/03/2018), was the very first time I have heard & witnessed the legendary Neil Finn, the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra & Choir perform live. And man.... it was just a thing of pure gold.
    As a MAINZ live sound student, I am thankful to have had the opportunity to be an intern for the Auckland Council last night.
    #Shoutout2Mr.McMaster&Mr.McIvor of MAINZ
    #Shoutout2Ms.VickiCooksley of AC
    #Shoutout2NeilsandPaul of Western Audio
    #Shoutout2Pos&Dan : Stage Managers.

  29. D.... ....

    The album was just a bit slow and atmospheric for my taste, lacking a bit, compared to many of his stellar previous efforts, in melody and hooks, and, well, dragging. Then this hit my headphones! Damn, Neil even adds some Bee Gees tempo and backgrounds to create Down Under classic.

  30. M.... F....

    I'm glad songwriters like you Neil are still writing. You're an inspiration. I love hearing new stuff from you. Thank you. X

  31. j.... {....

    Just brilliant everyone! I hope you all come to Philadelphia when Neil comes back!

  32. J.... R....

    Gorgeous song

  33. M.... T....

    A month later. Still on almost daily repeat. Fabulous song, and that orchestra. Bloody gorgeous! Thanks, Neil. Just makes my day every time I listen to it.

  34. B.... A....

    I love how Neil always takes a song off on tangents you'd never expect but it always seems to sound like that's just the way it's meant to be...all class.

  35. S.... S....

    Where can I hear the original version?

  36. R.... ....

    beef that bass

  37. M.... T....

    Jesus, this is absolutely gorgeous. And those orchestral touches. Goosebumps!

  38. m.... ....

    Amazing song! So in love with it. I like the video to, its great to see Neil, with the backing vocals, and all those musicians. What a team work! Just perfect!

  39. G.... v....

    Time and again able to bring up these juwels in music, Thanks Neil & Co

  40. o.... c....

    my mum  keeps talking about this person then I said did he go to space?

  41. R.... H....

    Hi, I love Neil Finn... His band is the same as the Beatles!........

  42. T.... F....

    muy bonita canción

  43. R.... C....

    Brilliant rhythm

  44. f.... ....

  47. H.... V....

  48. S.... H....

    Just love that nod of approval from Neil right at the end. It certainly gets mine

  49. S.... B....

    Wow - enough for me to go buy the album.

  50. G.... S....

    It's getting harder to find great songs these days. Neil , this is brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍

  51. D.... ....

    Love it!!

  52. �.... -....

    Wonderful!

  53. k.... ....

    I liked the chorus better with the line "at seventy miles an hour"... it fit the rhythm better

    k.... ....

    ollie you probably didn't hear the original version ;p

    k.... ....

    + Kieran  MY FAVORITE LINE from MY FAVORITE SONG!!!! Arrrgggh!  Such a perfect fit, because Love is a Runaway Train.  Hang on!  DANGER is part of the deal.

    k.... ....

    Here are the lyrics from TAKE TWO, Week Four.  These are PERFECT.


    Second Nature

    She’ll be the Queen of the bees with a worker divine (your second nature)
    She’ll be the buzz that you heard in the back of your mind (my ears are bleeding)
    Show me the birth of a legend that can’t be controlled (she's her only one)
    Waking us up with a song that can never grow old (can you believe it, oh oh)

    He’s on a Vespa
    He wears a hair net
    A tattoo arrow heart to wrap her arms around
    See him leaning around the corner
    At seventy miles an hour

    In love
    That could be dangerous
    He is a lightning rod to love
    That comes from the sky above
    He is a man to trust in love
    (Not Just) When you think everything is lost


    Give me a world that the travelers have never laid eyes on (your second nature)
    I wonder if love can discover the natural high (stop the bleeding)
    How many days did you waste since you made up your mind (second nature)
    Thinking now that the knowledge that everyone dies (you don't believe it oh oh)

    He’s on a Vespa
    He wears a hair net
    A tattoo arrow heart to wrap their arms around
    See him leaning around the corner
    At seventy miles an hour  

    In love
    That could be dangerous
    He is a lightning rod to love
    That comes from the sky above
    He is a man to trust in love
    (Not just) When you think everything is lost

    Oh oh oh oh oh
    Tattoo arrow heart to wrap her arms around
    Oh oh oh oh oh
    She wants to kiss him but showing your affections not allowed

    k.... ....

    a sensitive guy in love is more dangerous and powerful than speeding - it makes the song sound more DANGEROUS and smarter - although a moron in love who is sensitive ... can a moron be sensitive? maybe not

    k.... ....

    Completely agree, where is the video with that line in it? The bass, beat was more punchy too I loved that clip but can't find it now :(

  54. k.... ....

    Is it just me or they slightly modified the lyrics in this version compared to the one that was uploaded a month ago?

    k.... ....

    Appears the video was re-uploaded with the final album version. No more 2nd chorus with "70 miles" line. Glad I downloaded the original post a month ago.

    k.... ....

    me too :D not the video though, but the soundtrack only.. after all this is what really matters

    k.... ....

    The masterful line is still on the Infinity Session - Week Four ;)

  55. s.... s....

    Absolutely Love This

  56. O.... H....

    two version of the song?

  57. V.... J....

    My heart rushes every time I listen to this amazing beautiful breathtaking song!~Love love it!~

  58. B.... W....

    Love this song!!

  59. L.... D....

    Feeling wildly blessed to experience this beauty! Maha thanks for your divine incarnation

  60. M.... C....

    God, I just couldn't wait to Friday 9.00am (Ire) to watch the making of this album, thanks for sharing this experience with your fans, I first sow you in The Stadum in Dublin in 1992 (ish) where your brother Tim was the support. AMAZING
