Some people want to cut you down to their size, Just so they can push you around, They'll tell you they like everyone to grow to the same height, But they'd really rather see you on the ground. When they all want to turn you down, Like the sound on their TV set, Theres one place that you're welcome to, Where everything you say, Well, it's all up to you, When you come back home, And you find me waiting there, You're never on your own, And you find me waiting, Come back home, (You'll find me waiting,) When you come back home, And you find me waiting, Come back home, Come back home, Come back home. Some people want to cut you down to their size, Some people want to knock you off your feet, They dont know a good thing when they see it, They wouldn't know a good thing if it ran them down in the street. When they all want to turn you down, Like the sound on their TV set, Theres one place that you're welcome to, Where everything you say, Well, it's all up to you, When you come back home, And you find me waiting there, You're never on your own, And you find me waiting, Come back home, (You'll find me waiting,) When you come back home, And you find me waiting, Come back home, Come back home, Come back home. When you come back home, I love when you tell me how your day's gone, When you come back home, I want to be the one who stands beside you, When they try to bend you pride, And they try to get inside you. When they all want to turn you down, like the sound on their tv set, There's one place that you're welcome to, Where everything you say, Well it's all up to you. When you come back home, I love when you tell me how your day's gone, When you come back home, I want to be the one who stands beside you, When they try to bend you pride, And they try to get inside you, When they all want to turn you down, Don't you give up trying cos you're not alone, When you come back home, When you come back home, When you come back home.
Theres a man at the bar staring into space, Why is he drinking all by himself, What could have happened to his face, Whats that thing on his haid, Must have had quite a fall, he's listening to the song thats playing, He's hardly moving at all. And the song sounds like the girl from (ipamina?) And the song sounds like ten guitars, And the song sounds like the girl from (ipamina?) Goes walking, walking. Theres a woman she comes in out of the rain, She waits for a while and she says, The service is pretty slow round here, But the man doesn't here her, He's still listening to the song, And the song goes la la la la la la la. She looks around the bar, She hasnt seen for so long, Nothing has changed, The juke box plays the same old song. But then a chord change Makes the blood change direction in her veins, And her heart says dance, dance, Dance to her ten guitars. The man at the bar has lost his memory, The man at the bar could be anybody, The bottle helps some people forget, But can the bottle help him remember, Can he ever remember who he was? And the song sounds like the girl from And the song sounds like ten guitars, And the song sounds like the girl from ... goes walking, goes walking.

A walk around the house Till it's time for bed, In one of these rooms is a person sleeping, Breathing. That is the person I love, That is the person I say "I love you" to. Eyes still move when they're closed, Still move when they're closed. Eyes still move when they're closed, (What is that person seeing?) Still move when they're closed. I turn off all the lights, And I stand there in the dark, Suddenly the house seems more relaxed, More itself. That is the moment that I like, That is the moment that happens every night. This was the living room, That was a table and some chairs, That could have been a pile of magazines, That is the door to the room where I'm going to sleep. Eyes get used to the dark, Get used to the dark. Eyes get used to the dark, (What is that person seeing?) Get used to the dark. Eyes get used to the dark, (What is that person seeing?) Get used to the dark. A walk around the house Till it's time for bed, In one of these rooms is a person sleeping, Breathing. That is the person I love, That is the person I say "I love you" to.
Lets take a walk along the beach before the tide comes in, You sure missed one hell of a party last night, I was just disappointed, That the rest of the family wont even mention your name, Yeah, I know you didn't mean to let me down last night. Andy, Dont keep your distance from me, Andy Dont keep your distance from me. So you didn't make it back in time for the birthday boy, I know things can't stay the same year after year, Take a look at this beach now, There isn't much left of the place we knew when we were kids, When we used to go diving from the rocks over there. Andy, Dont keep your distance from me, Andy Dont keep your distance. What'd you say we go up north Head? Try to catch the sailing races? Can you believe this place? Well can you? They're making money out of money here, They're making buildings out of glass. Their kids look like they stepped out of fashion magazines, But none of it's going to last. A man gets angry, Dont know why I'm telling all this to you, On Takapuna beach. On Takapuna beach. On Takapuna beach. On Takapuna beach I can still see you, I can let myself pretend you're still around. I turned 28 last night. If you were still alive you you'd be just short of 33. If only you could see your home town now. Andy, Dont keep your distance from me, Andy Dont keep your distance from me.
She loves Wellington she was born there, Out in the Hutt valley, Then she left home looking for something, She thought she'd find it in the city. She'd go dancing in the weekends, Her friends were starting up new bands, Tight black dresses and hairspray, Talking about, Tomorrow night, About 8 o'clock, Tomorrow night When the town starts filling up, Tomorrow night about the time when the pubs start jumping, And the drunks start fighting, We'll start dancing. She went to London to find work there, To claim her colonial birthright. Cleaning hotel rooms in the mother country, While people trudged to work in the dim light, She'd go dancing in the nightclubs, On the underground she'd ride, Talking loud in a kiwi accent, Talking about, Tomorrow night, About 8 o'clock, Tomorrow night When the town starts filling up, Tomorrow night about the time when the pubs start jumping, And the band starts playing, La la la la la la la, We'll start dancing. La la la la la la la, We'll start dancing. La la la la la la la, We'll start dancing. She flying over Wellington harbour, Oriental bay is standing there in the sunlight, And they're playing a tape for the landing, Speed bonny boat, like a bird on the wing, Onward the sailors cry, No She didnt want to stay there, She's on her flight, She'll be standing on the same ground as we are, Tomorrow night, About 8 o'clock, Tomorrow night When the town starts filling up, Tomorrow night about the time when the pubs start jumping, And the band starts playing, La la la la la la la, We'll start dancing. La la la la la la la, We'll start dancing. Tomorrow night about the time when the pubs start jumping, And the drunks start fighting, We'll start dancing.
Claude Rains in Casablanca, He was the French police inspector, A functionary through and through, A small man, Remember at the end out on the airstrip, He could have tried to stop them, Ingrid Bergman and her friend from the french resistance, But he pretended not to see, It was a small act of defiance, As the storm broke in the distance, He was on their side after all. Claude Rains gave the order, To collect the usual suspects, And the camera came in close up on his face, He watched as the plane left the airstrip, Like hope leaves a dying man, But he hung onto the choice he'd made. Ooooh, Claude Rains. Ooooh, Claude Rains. I saw a new film the other day, It was set at the start of a nuclear war, The actors weren't as good as Claude Rains, But then there was nothing they could do, All of their small acts could count for nothing, As the storm broke in the distance, Not much to make a film about. Claude Rains gave the order, To collect the usual suspects, And the camera came in close up on his face, He watched as the plane left the airstrip, Like hope leaves a dying man, But he hung onto the choice he'd made. Ooooh, Claude Rains. Ooooh, Claude Rains.

Eugene said they'd be driving up last night, But the cars not there - that's strange, Why dont we take these things round the back, Maybe drop by later to thank him, And you really should meet him, Look, theres a window open, Look, theres a curtain blowing, I wonder who left it like that, Wait a minute, A man and a woman, A woman and a man, Look at them lying there, Sleeping in each others arms, Oh dont wake them up, Leave them sleeping, Oh dont wake them up, Don't let them know we've seen them, Don't say a word to anyone, That's Sarah there, that's Eugene's wife, But thats not Eugene. Look, it's none of our business, Look, sometimes people just have to tangle up their lives. A man and a woman, A woman and a man, Look at them lying there, Sleeping in each others arms, Oh dont wake them up, Leave them sleeping, They look just like a picture. Don't try to tell me that its wrong, Sure Eugene's my friend but he doesnt have to know, So lets just go now.
I'll never have anything more than I've got today. If I'm not happy now I'll probably stay that way, There is no denying, I've got to keep on trying, But I'll never have anything more than I've got today. No, no,I'll never have anything more than I've got today.
