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.

Spellbound Lyrics

Split Enz

Chances are, it's not that far to go
Chances are, there's not that much to know
When you're spellbound
When you're spellbound, once again

Chances are, things are going to change
Chances are, you'll be the one who's strange
When you're spellbound, once again
When you're spellbound, once again

I know it's hard to believe but it's true
But I could never have done it without you

The way things are, we'll get there in the end
The way things are, you(?) won't have to pretend
That we're all spellbound, once again
That we're all spellbound, once again

I know it's hard to believe but it's true
But I could never of done it without you...

[one minute thirty instrumental lead in...]
