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.

Hermit McDermitt Lyrics
Split Enz
(T Finn) - Frenzy
-================================-
I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory, if you find me, I'll burn it
you won't see me for dust, there's no one I trust, a hermit I must be
I won't be your criminal, I don't want your laws
Your taxi cabs and cheap kebabs and dingy dancing halls
I don't want your wedding bells, no top notch salary
It's a cabin in the hills or a cottage by the sea for me
I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory, if you find me, I'll burn it
you won't see me for dust, there's no one I trust, a hermit I must be
You treated me like an afterthought, and after all I'd done
Subjected me to ridicule, that's your idea of fun
O city full of promises and citadels so grand
I said goodbye to you and yours, and left for no-man's land
no man...no-man's land
I'm Hermit McDermitt, if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit McDermitt, in my tower of ivory, if you find me, I'll burn it
you won't see me for dust, there's no one I trust, a hermit I must be
must be...
Living in the wilderness brings out the beast in me
I know I'm not the only one whose scent is on the breeze
Some of us have broken hearts or a price upon our heads
One day soon we'll all return and kill you in your beds
kill you in your bed
whoa..
I'm Hermit
(yeah!) McDermitt (yeah!) if there's a better way I'll learn it
I'm Hermit
(yeah!) McDermitt (yeah!), my irregular ways confirm it
I'm Hermit
(yeah!) McDermitt (yeah!),
in my tower of ivory if you find me I'll burn it
you won't see me for dust, there's no one I trust, a hermit I must be
must be...
I'm Hermit
(yeah!) McDermitt (yeah!)... [repeat]
Relax, do it. relax, just do it. relax, just do it. relax, just do it...
I'm Hermit
(yeah!) McDermitt (yeah!)
