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.

Message To My Girl Lyrics
Split Enz
(N Finn) - Conflicting Emotions
-================================================-
I don't want to say I love you
That would give away too much
Hip to be detached and precious
The only thing you feel is vicious
I don't wanna say I want you
Even though I want you so much
It's wrapped up in conversation
Whispered in a hush
Though I'm frightened by the word
Think it's time that it was heard
No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that
Now I wake up happy
Warm in a lovers embrace
No one else can touch us
While we're in this place
So I sing it to the world
Simple message to my girl
No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that
--
Though I'm frightened by the word
Think it's time I made it heard
So I sing it to the world
Simple message to my girl
No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that
No there's nothing quite as real
As a touch of your sweet hand
I can't spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand.
oh every night, I hear you call my name
I want to sleep in my dark zen room [???]
oh I have a mind to express my pain [???]
But I won't get back in your tomb
no I care, why I care, why you go now [???]
and every night sings the same song, same song
i feel it coming in my sleep [???]
...i don't want to say...
...i don't want to say!!...
i can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand...
[Tim:] We can hear you, we want to get down
Get down with you. ow ow!
Yeah-hah, yeah-hah, yeah yeah. yeah-hah, yeah-hah, yeah yeah
I'm going down to the woolshed baby, got my gumboots
I'm going down to the tractor baby, send it out
and... [???]
Saturday night
Eddie Rayner, Eddie Rayner I'm calling for, Eddie Rayner, Eddie Rayner
got the tractor out of the cowshed
[???]
