Je score:
(N Finn) - Conflicting Emotions -=============================================- 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 I fumble for the switch, of a disconnected light Stay with it, don't let temptation be your load Stay with it, but there are bandits on the road [chorus:] 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 The weak and weary (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 [chorus] [Neil:] Take it Eddie! [chorus] don't move! ['The women that loves you' spoon solo from Noel - the most beautiful piece of music in the world!] [Noel:] Don't look to the left, don't look to the right just follow that strait old line.... wait for it! [Tim:] That Crombie Man - this is for the children's children not something that we did necessarily well just, this evening but, well I, I was moved, I'm always moved by the sound of those spoons, they're sort of, smooth, sort of [Noel:] Best silverware for the night Tim, you would have note, noted the quality ring. I'm sure the audience did. (pick up on that???) Stainless steel, it's ok but... sort of where it's at [Tim:] He's talking! Ladies & Gentleman, I I don't know if you appreciate what we just experienced, but oh my [Noel:] I think it's your turn for a little [Tim:] I don't know if you realise what just happened [Noel:] Well Tim, I think it's your turn for a little story now [Tim:] Well that Crombie man, he's just.. [?:] well anything could happen [Noel:] You're getting, you're jumping in on top of me, no look it's just not good enough [Tim:] Excuse me, uh Noel.... [Noel:] They wouldn't like to hear it [something about 'a break'] [Tim:] Sometimes you just have to wail and shout [snippet of 'Wail' (E Rayner)] [Tim:] Here we go! Thank you Neil, I do need calming down, I got a bit excited then [Neil:] I think we left the stratosphere then [Tim:] We did. Thank you [Neil:] We were voyaging, Tim [Tim:] You were... [Neil:] You were voyaging [Tim:] I was [Neil:] you were off somewhere [Tim:] Tah - I confess I was, I was off somewhere else, but, I'm back thank you Neil for drawing me back [Neil:] Thank you Eddie.. [Tim:] Thank you Eddie.. [Neil:] Thank you Noel.. [Tim:] Noel, thank you Noel.. [Neil:] Nigel [Tim:] Thank you Nigel [Neil:] Nigel Griggs, lady and gentlemen! [Tim:] Nigel Griggs, over here who havn't we mentioned? Paul Hester, from Wollongong [Neil:] Paul Hester!.... that's pretty zany Paul [Tim:] Thank you Paul, I love you ladies and gentlemen, I'd love to do another one, here's a song from the 'dizrythmia' album, 1977, Neil first joined the band, Nigel first joined the band. and I'm happy to say they're both with us tonight. And for all the guys, who didn't, get up on the stage tonight and were part of Split Enz - thank you, thank you, we mean it...
