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.

I Wake Up Every Night Lyrics
Split Enz
You arrive at the station, right on time
Catch a train to the city, metro line
Meet your friends at the corner for a drink
Maybe find a girl who can give you everything
All aboard, let's go travelling, up we go
You never know what you got `til you start letting go
I wake up every night, dress up and travel light
Without a worry on my mind
I wake up every night, go out and look for life
You never know just what you'll find, I wake up every night
Every day taken over by detail
Come the night I'm a free man, off the rails
There's emotional baggage in my head
Heavy dreams weigh me down like lumps of lead
I wanna liberate myself from all these things
You never know what you got til you stop worrying
I wake up every night, the stars are shining bright
There's magic in the evening air
Another day is done, go out and have some fun
Endeavour to be near someone, I wake up every night
I wake up every night
I'll follow my dreams tonight, as we go voodoo dancing,
Mood romancing
You wake up and feel alright and you can hold the shadows, hold the shadows
I wake up every night, I wake up every now and then
I wake up every night, I wake up every now and then
I wake up every night, the stars are shining bright
There's magic in the evening air
I wake up every night, my stomach muscles tight
Excited feelings everywhere
I wake up every night
[repeat til fade]
