Talk to her
That's right
It could mean more than you think

Talk to her
That's right
And you don't have to lose a thing

Leave the boots and saddle outside
And you could make her happy again

Laugh about the time
She threw the dinner at you

And in the coconut grove
You can't imagine the scene
Another bus unloads
We're still waiting to leave

Talk to her, that's nice
Or you could make a murder begin

Breathe on her, that's right
Once more, you will be her friend

She's the only one you know
Where you're from and where you've been

And what remains unsaid
Can leave you hanging in between

I spent a lot of time
In the transit lounge
And I wasn't sure
Where I was going now

The papers I read
Were yesterday's news
Not 100% sure
What I did with my shoes

Lying on the floor
Of a transit lounge
There'll be no announcements made

You better make sure
You don't sleep too sound
There'll be no announcements made
There'll be no announcements made

And you can dream about the things
You'd like to do before you die

Break him out, the one
Who's waiting for his moment to shine

And all the stupid things I said
Will haunt you, will linger, I guess

And in the coconut grove
You can't imagine the scene
Another bus unloads
We're still waiting to leave

A camera flash goes off
See the tallest man alive
And Thai massage his feet
Before this long plane ride

Just saw them on a re-run of Austin City Limits — a great show.

Umm, yeah!.  Where the hell did Elroy come from?

I believe the drummer is Matt Sherrod (ex Beck drummer).  Perhaps your confusing this with Neil's son Elroy who has played backup guitar with them (and whose own band has opened some shows for them as well).

Love it.  Big crowdies fan from way back but hadn't heard anything from this album.  I might have to golook for it.  Does anyone know who is on drums?...i heard it was Hessie's son.

Every time I've heard this I think of Flight of the Conchords and not for the obvious NZ connection

 You nailed it.  That's the great thing about listening to Crowded House.  This one is not without flaws, but still a treat.

For those of you who haven't noticed, Excelsior hasn't been around for a few weeks. I don't know if Bill finally gave him the axe or he just plain gave up. Either way, please stop re-posting his comments. Thanks.

OK! I just looked and 10cc is completely absent from the playlist! How can that be? I type this as I'm hearing "The Smiths" playing here. I don't hate The Smiths, but IMHO 10cc is far superior and in many ways, more eclectic. Oh well, it's not my radio station. I still love it, though.


Here's 10cc on the playlist

Nice tune. Kinda reminds me of Bloody Tourist by 10cc. Maybe it's the airline travel theme. A big fan of both bands and their mates.
