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.

Lovey Dovey Lyrics

Split Enz

My house is sliding into the sea
Skies are grey, since you've been away
The chickens aren't laying eggs no more
It can only mean you left me for sure

But I still think of you when I'm alone
How can I ever repay you for what you do to me
I still think of you when I'm alone
How can I ever repay you for what you do to me

La do dah la do dah dah la do dah

My trees are all turning brown
The sun won't shine, now you're no longer mine
The rats are crawlin' up me back
It can only mean you're never coming back

But I still, think of you when I'm alone
Oh how could I ever repay you for what you do to me
And I still, think of you when I'm alone
Oh how could I ever repay you for what you do to me

La do dah la do dah dah la do dah
Wooh!

My bed is leaning to one side
You know I can't sleep now that I've lost my pride
The flies are swarming in like bees
I even have to share my clothes with fleas

But I still, yeah think of you when, I'm alone
How can I ever repay you for what you do to me
And I still, yeah think of you when, I'm alone
How can I ever repay you for what you do to me
Come on!
