That’s What I Call Love
Paul Hester/Neil Finn

You take away my air
You make my lungs collapse
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That’s what I call
Livin’ in your memory
That’s what I call
Tired and deflated
That’s what I call
Love

I tidy up your room
You tidy up my life
Show me the door
I’m abandoned here
I’m warm to the core
I can feel
You swim I sink
We never got in that deep
You bend I break
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That’s what I call
Hangin’ on and fallin’ over
That’s what I call
Tired and deflated
That’s what I call
Love

I got a little room
The air’s still pretty bad
I die tonight

Feeling devastated
That’s what I call
Hangin’ on and fallin’ over
That’s what I call
Tired and deflated
That’s what I call
Feeling devastated
That’s
Livin’ with a vacuum cleaner
What
Sweepin’ up your memory
I call Love

That’s What I Call Love (studio demo)
Paul Hester/Neil Finn

Tell me, tell me
Who are you protecting
Love’s not making
Rules for everybody

I felt left out
This is opposition
You bend, I break
I die tonight
I die tonight

Brothers kissing brothers
That’s what I call love
Sisters kissing sisters
That’s what I call love
Brothers kissing sisters
That’s what I call love

Tell me, tell me
Who are you protecting
Love’s not making
Rules for everybody

I felt left out
This is opposition
You bend, I break
I die tonight
I die tonight

Tell me, tell me
Who are you protecting
Love’s not making
Rules for everybody

Brothers kissing brothers
That’s what I call love
Sisters kissing sisters
That’s what I call love
Brothers kissing sisters
That’s what I call love

Brothers kissing brothers
That’s what I call love
Sisters kissing sisters
That’s what I call love
Brothers kissing sisters
That’s what I call love

Brothers kissing brothers
That’s what I call love
Sisters kissing sisters
That’s what I call love
That’s what I call love
That’s what I call love
That’s what I call love
That’s what I call love

These demos were done before we found a bass player and we had Nick and Bones and a couple of other people come and play on the demos by way of audition, which was actually quite a novel and good way to do it. And the thing that’s notable from my mind is that Nick performed very well on Paul’s song, ‘That’s What I Call Love’, and that was kind of the clincher really. He actually had a funky bassline. Sharon loved it and that was when he got the job.
