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.

Make Sense Of It Lyrics
Split Enz
From deep within the forest, eyay, eyay, eyay
The heart of man still hollers, eyay, eyay, eyay
In the congo where life began, eyay, eyay, eyay
Living proof of a master plan, eyay, eyay, eyay
When you're driving home from a day at work
and you stumble on some forgotten truth
Pounding down like a hammer through glass
If you could only make some sense of it, yeah
Don't lose your sense of humour, eyay, eyay, eyay
Boycott the guilty party, eyay, eyay, eyay
In the midst of human crisis, eyay, eyay, eyay
Goodwill triumphant rises, eyay, eyay, eyay
If you need a friend you can rely upon
someone to help make some sense of it
If you shed a tear when the nightmare breaks
Just remember dreams go in opposites
You're holding on
Yeah you're holding on
Yes you're holding on to make sense of it
You realize you're not the only one
Who's trying to make some sense of it
When you're in the arms of the one you love
You can forget the daily push and shove
You need a friend you can rely upon
A bit of help to make sense of it
