Split Enzis one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. The group was formed in Auckland in 1971 by Tim Finn, Philip Judd, , Robert Gillies, and Noel Crombie, who originally called themselves "Split Ends." They soon changed the spelling to honor their NZ homeland. For much of their career, the band was known for wild costumes and make-up designed by Crombie. For the first phase of their existence, the band played a kind of progressive rock infused with music-hall humor; later they slipped into a quirky new wavestyle that generated hits worldwide. Numerous personnel changes have been a defining factor for the Enz.

Split Enz
(T Finn) - Dizrythmia
-===========================-
Wake up Charlie, rise and shine
Pour the tea, I'll draw the blind
Sunlight halo, you look wonderful
Darling Charlie, pale and deathly still
For heaven's sake, wake up Charlie
Was a full moon last night
I was full of bravado.
Dead drunk, dead sure, one of us had to go
Raised my head in anger, hurt you again
Dust to dust, and fire to ashes you can
Thank me for nothing now Charlie
I was eaten up with jealousy
Bones to pick and rumours to feed
How my heart bleeds, love's a big mistake
Mercy Charlie oh for pity's sake
Forgive me, speak to me, Charlie
Wake up Charlie rise and shine
Pour the tea, I'll draw the blind
Sunlight halo you look wonderful
Darling Charlie, pale and deathly still
For heaven's sake, wake up Charlie
