Split Enz Picture
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.

Lost For Words Lyrics

Split Enz

Tell me sir what would you do
- if you were me
Hop, skip and jump like a kangaroo?
- if you were me

I'm wide awake in a dormitory city
- if you were me
What would you do to stop the noise
- if you were me

I can't relate, to your vicious excuses
The damage has all been done, and talking is useless

Tell me sir what would you say
- if you were me
I'm lost for words ...
- if you were me

I'm scratching my head, and focusing my eyes
No lack of information, but I can't explain it
I'm looking it up, I'm writing it down
I couldn't read it if I tried

I'm looking for words ooooh
I give it all I got, ooooh
And I'm lost for words, you don't even listen
It's all been said before, so I'll just turn and walk away
