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.

Iris Lyrics
Split Enz
She's unaware, she'll never see me stare
Standing in the safety of my room
Oh I don't know, whether she comes or goes
But I know I'll be seeing her quite soon
Ooh, Iris
The girl with the lovely name
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris
I'll be brave, put all my fears away
I'm hoping that I get the chance to meet her
Sun or rain, I wait here every day
I wonder if I'll get the chance to kiss her
Ooh, Iris
I'm stuck at the window pane
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris
Ooh, Iris
The girl with the lovely name
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris (repeat til fade)
Wail(E.Rayner)
