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.

History Never Repeats Lyrics
Split Enz
(N Finn) - Waiata
-=====================================-
[chorus:]
History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
Don't say the words you might regret
I've lost before you know I can't forget
There was a girl I used to know
She dealt my love a savage blow
I was so young, too blind to see
But anyway that's History
I say [chorus]
You say I always played the fool
Well I can't go on, if that's the rule
Better to jump than hesitate
I need a change and I can't wait
[chorus2:]
History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart
(ah-ar)
History never repeats, history never repeats
Deep in the night it's all so clear
I lie awake with great ideas
Lurking about in no-man's land
I think at last I understand
[chorus2]
Never repeats!...
Hey.... Hey....
Never repeats!
And I say, that's all
Remember til the next time
[all?:] thank you!
won't you stay, stay a while with my own one
one more day, one more day with my own ones
this old world, is so cold, don't care nothing for your soul
you share with your own ones...
Haul away, haul away, heave away, haul away, haul away, heave away
