Split Enz - Lovey Dovey Lyrics

Bloody brilliant!

Fuckin' brill' . Up the Kiwis . Down every body else .

Looks like they're having fun :)

In the insanity of everything that’s going on; don’t forget how great these lyrics are!

Pure genius 😊

Whenever I feel sad I just think of those rats bobbing around on Tim's back and I'm cured.

Fairly sure that is Neil in the yellow outfit..?

nope, neil hadn't joined the band yet.

Lovey Dovey
Split Enz

My house is sliding into the sea
Skies are grey, since you've been away
The chickens aren't laying eggs no more
It can only mean you left me for sure
But I still think of you when I'm alone
How can I ever repay you for what you do to me
I still think of you when I'm alone
How can I ever repay you for what you do to me
La do dah la do dah dah la do dah
My trees are all turning brown
The sun won't shine, now you're no longer mine
The rats are crawlin' up me back
It can only mean you're never coming back
But I still, think of you when I'm alone
Oh how could I ever repay you for what you do to me
And I still, think of you when I'm alone
Oh how could I ever repay you for what you do to me
La do dah la do dah dah la do dah
Wooh!
My bed is leaning to one side
You know I can't sleep now that I've lost my pride
The flies are swarming in like bees
I even have to share my clothes with fleas
But I still, yeah think of you when, I'm alone
How can I ever repay you for what you do to me
And I still, yeah think of you when, I'm alone
How can I ever repay you for what you do to me
Come on!

Cardiacs made me do it. My new best band.

Tim's writing at that time was so good it was close to showing off - his hold on the English language was breathtaking. No one was writing on the same level as him! Nobody mentions it, but how good was crowther drumming

BEST BAND EVAH..!!!!
First time I saw you guys was at the Hard Rock Cafe in Spring St Melbourne 1974??
I was 14..... But we all wore so much blue eye shadow that we looked older.. haha
Plus the fact that no one gave a shit

those first 5 albums are not commercial but they are interesting.

Cardiacs sent me here :)

Outstanding.

I had no idea that early Split Enz were so fucking weird.

they started wierd brother! the first

Influence on Cardiacs "Tarred and Feathered" video, maybe?

This was the greatest live band I ever saw.. and Iv'e seen them all!

No you haven't

Beyond superb....

rock. unfuckinbelievable. the coolest band evar...
