Down on the ocean floor
That's where I'm heading for
Hold on to a sinking stone
Until the worst is known.
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Nobody Protects you
They make it go away
Pretending that it's all ok
Broken pieces on the ground
And everyones tip-toeing round
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
No-one Protects you
Yeah
Are we losing something
We used to cry
We used to say why
For all I know
I might not get home
But I found out
If we open it up
We could work this out
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Now
What you suspected all along
Everything he told you was wrong
And you can see it if you want
But nobody wants to

| teapot (in orbit) | Posted: Jun 14, 2010 - 15:55 I'm a huge CH fan, but the songs on this album are just plain bad, with a few exceptions. I'd love to hear Pour le Monde or Heaven That I'm Making instead. |
| dburges (Seattle, WA) | Posted: May 13, 2010 - 21:43 I love this stuff, I really do- but am I the only one thinking this place is starting to sound like neilfinnparadise.com? |

I love this. 9 My buddy Bemis is from Mississippi. He can make any one syllable word two. To wit: "Day-amn!" Okay, not exactly the same as squeezing meaning, but close...  |
| Marr (Houston (dreaming of Austin)) | Posted: Jan 07, 2010 - 12:55 Hmmm. It has been a very Finn filled day. Not that I'm complaining at all. |

| mmshock (British Virgin Islands) | Posted: Oct 26, 2009 - 12:47 Thank you Radio Paradise for making me realise that there is so much more to Crowded House than "Dont Dream Its Over," featured on many of my junior high and summer camp mix tapes. |

| PeorgieTirebiter | Posted: May 31, 2009 - 15:44 Around the time Time On Earth came out, I bought the reissue of their Farewell To The World DVD. I've been a big fan since their first album, so this is a totally biased opinion, but to me it ranks right up there with Stop Making Sense among the great concert films. If you're Crowed House fan — or thinking of becoming one — buy it now! |

| NormaJean | Posted: May 21, 2009 - 08:10 I am sorry everyone thinks that Crowded House/Neil Finn are so boring. I guess you just don't get the uniqueness of their music. It is an acquired taste, so to speak. |
| annersjen (in the rolling hills of New York) | Posted: May 21, 2009 - 08:08 A rare 8 for this one. Anything Finn/CH normally gets a 10 from me. |

Even the more upbeat sounding songs have an undertone of loss, absence and guilt IMO. Still good, or even great in some cases. But there is a missing quality of joy to the overall album that I miss. I'm hoping that they will do another album soonish and have gotten the darkness out of their system with this more cathartic effort.  exactly how I feel about it too. |
| Shaken_Bake (Mile High City (or is it just me?)) | Posted: May 31, 2008 - 15:46 Any song that comes out of Neil Finn's mouth gets an automatic 8 from me... often rising from there! |
| jackvh | Posted: May 31, 2008 - 15:43 This may be the only Crowded House song I ever liked. No more blanket hatred. Thanks RP |

| aragon (West Lafayette) | Posted: Apr 05, 2008 - 21:53 It's been ages since I last listened to Crowded House. Good to know they are still doing good stuff. |
| tulfan (One of the last ones in SE MI) | Posted: Mar 29, 2008 - 16:12 Two for two. Both cuts I've heard so far are hitting a strong chord with me. This effort is steadily rising on my "to be purchased soon" list... |
| ad4tise (Hurricane Hell) | Posted: Mar 23, 2008 - 19:23 What a wonderful song. I am going to go get this CD tomorrow. I didn't realize there was a new one out. Love it when the classic groups have a new release. Thank you Bill for introducing this one. |
