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.

Split Enz
-==========================================-
I been licking my wounds
Sick of holding my tongue
I been sweating my way up those blue hills
Now I'm taking the plunge
I been stealing my nerves
and I'm breaking a lot of wishbones
Hope I'm displaying manly virtue
Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew
Oh wouldn't it be nice to know
Oh wouldn't it be nice to know
I been speaking out of turn
Feel invincible behind that silver fern
And I'm full of a bittersweet anger
Sick of meaningful dialogue
I been playing the high and mighty
Now I'm trying to act my age
I been making up for lost time
Hope I'm cooking my goose for the very last time
Oh wouldn't it be nice to know
Yes(?) wouldn't be nice to know
It wouldn't be nice to know
I been licking my wounds
Sick of holding my tongue
I been sweating my way up those blue hills
Now I'm taking the plunge
I been stealing my nerves
And I'm breaking a lot of wishbones
Hope I'm displaying manly virtue
Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew
Wouldn't it be nice to know
Oh wouldn't it be nice to know
