Kiss The Road Of Rarotonga
Neil Finn/Tim Finn
I kiss the road of Rarotonga
Speed through the night
My gritty eyes, so fever bright
Scars on my hand
A gravel stone, I took a bite
I kiss the road of Rarotonga
Taste some gravel
I kiss the road of Rarotonga
My barefoot nurse
Whisper sorry when it hurts
Black sea slug sand
A velvet sky and the roosters cry
Bird flapped its wing
Man I rode like a king
I kiss the road of Rarotonga
Taste some gravel
I kiss the road of Rarotonga
Stand up and flow, push it on, push it on
Stand up and flow, push it on push it on
Island girl I’ll stay with you
I give thanks to Rarotonga
I kiss the road of Rarotonga

Finn Brothers - Finn (album, 1995)
“We came to Rarotonga, October ‘94, to get inspired and prepare for our record. While Tim was screaming around the island on his scooter, he took a tumble on some loose gravel. The barefoot nurse at the hospital said, ‘So, you kissed the road of Rarotonga.’”
