Split Enz - Message To My Girl Lyrics
I don't want to say, "I love you"
That would give away too much
It's hip to be detached and precious
The only thing you feel is vicious
Even though I want you so much
It's wrapped up in conversation
It's whispered in a hush
Though I'm frightened by the words
Think it's time I made it heard
No more empty self-possession
Visions swept under the mat
It's no New Year's resolution
Now, I wake up happy
Warm in a lover's embrace
No one else can touch us
While we're in this place
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple message to my girl
No more empty self-possession
Visions swept under the mat
It's no New Year's resolution
It's more than that
Though I'm frightened by the words
Think it's time I made it heard
So I'll sing it to the world
A simple message to my girl
No more empty self-possession
Visions swept under the mat
It's no New Year's resolution
It's more than that
Oh, there's nothing quite as real
As the touch of your sweet hand
I can't spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand
Oh, every night I hear you call my name
I'm gonna sleep in my thoughts that roam
Oh, every night to express my pain
But I won't get wrapped in your tomb
No, I don't care, I don't care why you've gone now
And every night sings the same song, same song
I hear hear humming in my sleep
I don't want to say
I don't want to say
I can't spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand

Split Enz Message To My Girl Comments
Magnificent- outstanding. Loved it as a teenager and still do in late 40s.
Discovered Split Enz in 1980 and still love them.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written! Finn brothers are a national treasure twice over..
So powerfull stil so fraigille
One of my favorites. Simple, one take, no switching cameras/angles, and a great song.
I loved this song in '84 and still love' it in 2020!
Somehow, when I first heard this song, it gave me a sixties feeling, especially with that synth almost sounding like a mellotron in the chorus. Today, I rank it on the same list as the most inspiring Beatles songs for my own songwriting.
Masterpiece. Neil's best. Chord change.
The fact that everyone is wearing normal clothes in this video, told me it was the end.
I LOVE YOU MMMMM
Have not heard this song in years. It’s still damn good.
This is best Squeeze song ever!
What an amazing melody.
Timeless.
Took me way too long to get onto this.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written!
Normal looking bloke his entire working life. Just a bloke with a cracking mind for lyrics and a great voice.
Still love this song... 2019 and all.
100000000000000 THUMBS UP
Good song!
Anyone else homesick?
Are you an NZ'er?
@Louise G yep
Absolute fav Enz songs
There's only three things I need in life - Neil Finn, Paul McCartney and Andy Partridge, in that order.
Hey now, whatever did Tim do to you?
great trio, that. xtc and crowded house are both criminally overlooked
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Neil, you are a gift to us all.
Low-budget video but actually very nicely done. Kudos to Noel for his usual terrific visual ideas and to Neil for a terrific pop song.
Neil Finn at his best.
❤🌏✋
Ahhh, Neil without a guitar...one of the most fun, awkward things to watch, lol...but, man, does this tune take me back!!! ♥
Always love watching the backdrops moving along
If you can find a way to make Split Enz's entire discography available on french music streaming sites, thanks in advance. We can't even buy Out Of Silence on iTunes here. ;)
Thank you for uploading this.
Would love another Split Enz tour like the last. Just one more, please.
in the UK! :- D
