Try Whistling This - Neil Finn

Tales from my head

Can’t buy the book

No one’s listening

But I guess you could

Try whistling this

You say you’re tired

Liquid as water

But you’ll succumb now

As I stroke your back

I’m the best that you know

And every time you think of me

I hope you’re thinking true romance

And every time you want to leave

You’ll give us both another chance

Warmest welcome

Violent stranger

He said come here

As he pushed me down

Impossible to do

In high heels

Walking into walls

Ever wondered

If you’re here at all?

Try whistling this

And my words are ringing in your ears

Drawing your attention now to all the things that you ignore

If I can’t be with you, I would rather have a different face

If I can’t be near you, I would rather be adrift in space

And if the gods desert us now, I’ll turn this chapel into flames

And if someone tries to hurt you, I will put myself in your place
