Detective is flat
No longer is always flat out
Got the number of the getaway car
Didn't get very far
As lucid as hell
These images moving so fast
Like a fever
So close to the bone
I don't feel too well
And if you choose
To take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
To enflame you
Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago
And if you choose
To take that path
I will play you like a shark
And I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
to enflame you
Sleeping alone
For pleasure, the pineapple head
It spins and it spins
Like a number I hold
Don't remember if she was my friend
It was a long time ago
And if you choose
To take that path
Would you come to make me pay?
I will play you like a shark
nd I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark
I will clutch at your heart
And come flying like a spark
To enflame you

| ziakut (Albeit In The Meantime) | Posted: May 20, 2012 - 11:22 Not one of my favorite CH tunes...but I still enjoy hearing it whenever it arrives. I appreciate that this track sees the light of day here in a radio format...otherwise lost in oblivion. |

| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Oct 27, 2011 - 17:21 One of my first Radio Paradise Favorites playlist additions. Just upped my rating; what was I thinking—it's aged very well. |

The Finns are Kiwi but Crowded House formed in Australia (and based themselves here) and there were Aussies in the band... So I think we can lay a bit of a claim to them! They (NZ) can keep Russell Crowe though. |

| Jack_Jefferson (Columbus, OH) | Posted: Apr 05, 2011 - 10:27 This is easily my favorite CH song. I now have the Very Best CD in my car CD player. The rest of the CD is getter better with each listen. |

| calypsus_1 | Posted: Sep 12, 2010 - 21:26  Crowded House (11) by MystifyMe Concert PhotographyTM Troy http://www.flickr.com/photos/mystifyme07/ Nick Seymour, Bassist Crowded House have announced a special Sydney show for their fans, to be performed at the Enmore Theatre on Wednesday 31 March, as part of a short Australian tour. This show is a rare intimate venue appearance by the band whose most recent Australian tour was a series of sold out major arena shows. One of our region's greatest ever bands, Crowded House have an epic back catalogue, including such incredible songs as ,‘Weather With You', ‘Four Seasons In One Day', ‘Don't Dream It's Over', ‘Fall At Your Feet' and ‘Locked Out'. Back to their best following their 2007 reunion and the critically acclaimed studio album, ‘Time on Earth', the band are currently finishing their new (sixth) album, titled ‘Intriguer', which is due for release mid-year. Joining founding members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour and drummer, Matt Sherrod, and U.S.-based keyboard player Mark Hart, a veteran of the line-up who made Together Alone in 1993.  All rights reserved—————————————————————————————————— excelent song & excelent performance of Nick Seymour on "solo-bass".- note: it is convenient and very important to use system speackers of sound 2.1 or 5.1 dedicated and adjusted to be able itself to all hear music in its explendor. |

| planet_lizard (Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy) | Posted: Jul 12, 2009 - 09:03 I love this. Bit of a pity that it is presented as part of a 'greatest hits' album. Am I too much of a purist wishing to see it presented as part of its original album? OK maybe I need to crawl back into the old 20th century... |
| FlatCat (Chicago) | Posted: May 09, 2009 - 20:22 Wonderful song. Lilting guitars, and all. But he sounds like he has a cold. |

Now America is completely FREAKED out. Crowded house sound REM-ish, another dude wrote, but in a bad way??? SORRY??? Are you complete idiots? Sorry for the rough words. Let me quickly repeat them. ARE YOU FREAKED OUT COMPLETE IDIOTS??? CROWDED HOUSE are miles ahead of (often good) REM. And that means? Means the CH are the only legitimate followers or succesors of the great BEATLES! If it weren´t so sad, I could smile Crowded House are REM ´ish. Yeah - but only for Jackson-5 fans! Unbelievable! |

That night, after dark but long before closing, she and I were waiting in line for some roller coaster, and there were tv screens in each corner playing videos to entertain you as you waited. (And the wait for this particular ride was, like, an hour.) We were sitting on one side of the rail with our feet on the other when the video "Don't Dream It's Over" came on. We had spent most of our money, and we were young and free and girls. We were hot and tired and just sat there, waiting and listening. I don't think I've ever been more content in my whole life. For years, that song would instantly transport me to 1988, to Dallas. As I get older, and contentedness is harder and harder to come by, I've found that any song with his voice will do.
That was the best thing I've have read in several months. You really painted a picture with words and coupled with the song, created a place, a time, an event. That was art! |
| meydele (Par la mer) | Posted: Jul 18, 2007 - 06:18 I am sorry now that I didn't like these guys much when they were big in the 80's. In part, that was because I am a horrible snob, and the one friend of mine who was into them had otherwise rotten taste in music, so I automatically assumed they sucked. My bad. Wendy, I stand corrected. Here's the crow - watch me eat it. |
