The Only Way To Go Is Forwards (live)
Neil Finn

The only way to go is forwards
Where the future’s looking bright
The curtains on the bar are closing
That’s why we’ll have to stay all night

Drink up, there’s no one in control
Give in to the madness in our souls
You and me are witness to the fall
Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I’ll tell you what we’ve got
Not too much time before they bury us

The only way to go is forwards
But it’s not such a pretty sight
When you hair is full of embers
From the fire we lit last night

Drink up, there’s no one in control
Give in to the madness in our souls
You and me are witness to the fault
Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I’ll tell you what we’ve got
Not too much time before they bury us

Still have moments of celebration
Lost all feelings of desperation
And we won’t sit back looking at photographs
Come back to see the aftermath
Still makes you disintegate
Your life
Oh-uh uh…

Drink up before we all get shot
Old friend, I’ll tell you what we’ve got
Not too much time before they bury us

Celebration
Now we won’t sit back looking at photographs
To see the aftermath
Or disintegrate

oh oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh…

 

Song appears on:

 

Crowded House - Intriguer Deluxe Edition (2016)

Somebody referred to
that the other day to me and said it’s their favourite Crowded House song since the second record. Somebody’s always championing something that didn’t get a shot. It’s nice really.
