Split Enz - Strait Old Line Lyrics
Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
just follow that strait old line...
This could be heaven, or this could be hell
Life could be falling down a bottomless well
I stumble to the left, I stumble to the right
Stay with it, don't let temptation be your load
Stay with it, but there are bandits on the road
Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
The road of ambition, it's a casualty trail
Press gangs wait to ambush
(stay with it)
I had to explore the light and dark
to see the sharp and flat
There's a hundred or more good reasons
not to ever turn your back
Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
Take it Eddie!
Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line

Split Enz Strait Old Line Comments
Geniaal!!!
Awesome sounds!
Would everyone agree Neil is having a ball of a time throughout the whole song, and manages to jump about a metre in the air in the dying moments of this song. Great stuff, thank you for the upload, never saw this before but remember the song. TALENTS EXTRAORDINARIES.
Very clever composition, uniquely performed, better listened to than watched, I suggest. Those were the days, lip-syncing and miming for all they were worth, not a connecting cable in sight, and we could see how much the drummer was enjoying himself. Can a devoted fan of Split Enz tell me/us why the title uses Strait instead of Straight.
How the mighty had fallen..
Eddie Rayner is the world's happiest keyboard player...it always looks like he lives to play!
Great message in this track. Sumthing I probably should have adhered to in my youth.
Best band of all in the space/time continuum and beyond!!!!
This song reminds me of today's politics.
Everyone's hyper except the drummer.
Well under rated band.great tunes
Briljant. Dit is popmuziek vol verrassingen.
What a pack of brilliant musicians each and every one of them
the bassist is awesome ...well they all are but the bassist is too :}
Nothing better than the Finn brothers harmony. Indeed an under appreciated song and album
Really talented band and great song. This clip proves a few good music videos were made in the 80s. They had class and a sense of humour. Believe I saw them live in a pub in Oz in the 80s.
Neil and Tim look like a prettier version of the Topp Twins here
1:37 Eddie cheesing! lol
Excellent song and the bass line by Nigel is awesome!
Fun ditty to play in my Jaguar with a glass of champas & a blonde beside...…………………..then I wake up
F'n wow!
Very Nice
Great band!! Always looked like they were genuinely enjoying themselves
Bass player killing it...
Glad Neil didnt get hurt doing the video...
One of my fave tracks from Conflicting Emotions. Never understood the criticism of this album -- it's so listenable, and "Message To My Girl" and "The Devil You Know" are just pure pop brilliance.
One of the finest Enz songs...also interesting to see the contrast of the band in suits compared to what the band looked like in the 70’s...
Always loved this smooth jazzy song of theirs.
This "Frenz of the Enzer" loves it!
Is that Noel on drums?
Jon Scargill 'tis indeed Noel!
ONE OV thee most underrated Bands of all Time
My favourite album is 'True Colours' but this is a close second fave. You cant beat N.Z music of this era and any music in this era was pretty awesome! Got together with my old school friends last night and looked at photos of our 21st birthday etc, long time ago but we had so much fun.
I love at 2:44 Neil goes full on Aldo Nova.
That guitar solo makes the song I reckon (along with Eddie Rayner's mad piano skills). Enz had great lyrics, brilliant musicianship and a sense of whimsy and theatre that you just don't see very often anymore. Legends, one and all.
Add this to the endless plethora of massively underrated Enz tunes!
From Scotland but I live for The Enz and NZ! They were such an original band in a lot of ways
Stewart bro 2017 a kiwi married to a scot right now drinking in grangemouth thinking of you as a brother, chur
Hello friends greetings from Brazil What keyboard is used in this song, can someone tell me?
Gusttavo Bezerra de Azevedo ...A white one...
I believe the first "guitar" solo is a Yamaha DX7.
I love watching Nigel Griggs on bass
That bass line is awesome!
He is a darn sight better then he is given credit for!
Great tune and a good message.
over rated band from a shit hole country full of dumb cunts..
+Gee Hee shut up mate, how dare you hate on Split Enz and NZ. You're a disgrace to every fan of the Enz, Aussies and Kiwis too
this is gee hee attempting to troll a fight, or he could be just another idiot
Haha you poor prison colony fagot you gave up NZ signed a treaty that's forever your history hahaha
How bout I come over there with my Patu and chop your breeding bags off and feed them to you, we still do that and eat people in far reaches over here so watch u say if we find out who are we will eat you.
they look so young there!
somewhat under appreciated tune!
Always thought Split Enz beat Crowded House hands down.
Only somewhat under appreciated?!!
Absolutely!
lone violist
It depends on where you are living as to how dumb that statement is. They may be underated where you are but not in their home area. There they are mainstream, probably more so than some of the band that rate where you are but never made it international scene.
Under appreciated band period
