1、Nature

Nature是 新西兰摇滚乐队Fourmyula 的作品，该乐队于1967年在Upper Hutt组建，成员包括 Wayne Mason (吉他 键盘), Martin Hope (吉他), Ali Richardson (贝斯), and Chris Parry (鼓手). 1968年 Carl Evensen 加入，担任乐队主唱。

1969年，19岁的Wayne Mason在其母亲家的门廊 （不是喝啤酒就是等吃饭，我瞎猜的），看到屋外杨柳依依，蜂蝶飞舞，心情摇曳，仅花了一个小时就写出了这首歌曲。

1970年1月，该歌曲登上了新西兰歌曲排行榜的榜首。


Lyrics

Through falling leaves I pick my way slowly
Talking aloud, eases my mind
Sunlight filters through, I feel my head is bursting
So full of thoughts, I thought of
What am I going to do?
I need some thoughts that are new

Doo-doo-doo doo doo-doo doo doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo
Dee-dee-dee-dee dee dee-dee dee-dee-dee-dee
Nature enter me

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Up in a tree a bird sings so sweetly
Nature's own voice, I hear
Rustling whistling trees turning breeze to speech
Talk to me now, ease my mind
I'll turn something new
Mind's laid with dew

Doo-doo-doo doo doo-doo doo doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo
Dee-dee-dee-dee dee dee-dee dee-dee-dee-dee
Nature enter me

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

I'll turn something new
Mind's laid with dew

Doo-doo-doo doo doo-doo doo doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo
Dee-dee-dee-dee dee dee-dee dee-dee-dee-dee
Nature enter me

Lyrics

There isfreedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me…

Hey now,hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win…

Now I'mtowing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion
But there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page…

Hey now,hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win…

Now I'mwalking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release…

Hey now,hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know they won't win…

Don't letthem win (Hey now, hey now)
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win (They come, they come)
Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeah
Hey now, hey now

Loyal

I can't remember last time I thanked you,

Keeping my distance unintentionally.

Too close for comfort, just ain't close enough.

If I could have more time we would brainstorm.

And I love you tender, but we must walk away,

Keeping you on my greeting card file.

And if it were different did you know it ain't?

Let's get on with it love

And call me loyal I'll say you're loyal too.

I know you're loyal I feel your loyal truth,

Call me loyal I'll hold you loyal too,

And we are loyal, keep it that way

Keep it that way girl

Out in the battle, flung far and used.

Where does allegiance lie?

Sometimes when all of your hopes, and all of your dreams,

Are too much to value in one moment.

And all of us anxious, but why hurry love?

History's here and now.

Oh and why are you waiting waiting for what?

The history of some love?

And call me loyal I'll say you're loyal too.

I know you're loyal I feel your loyal truth,

And call me loyal I'll hold you loyal too,

And we are loyal, keep it that way baby

And we are loyal - haven't you known me long enough girl?

If I could see your heart right now,

Maybe there'd be a change or two.

And you can call me loyal I'll say you're loyal too.

I know you're loyal I feel your loyal truth,

And call me loyal I'll hold you loyal too,

And we are loyal, keep it that way

Loyal! I will say you're loyal too!

I know you're loyal I will feel your loyal truth,

And call me loyal I will hold you loyal too,

And we are loyal, keep it that way baby

Keep it that way baby,

Keep it that way now!

Lyrics
I look at the sunrise
I look at it burn
I look into your eyes
Don't know where to turn
I'm gonna drift into that void
I'm flying through space
I'm an asteroid
I'm dancing that place when you're paranoid

I'm thinking about you and nothing else
Thinking about you, you think about me
Thinking about you, I'm counting the beat
Thinking about you, thinking about me
Thinking about just you and me

La-dah-da-de, there ain't no place I'd rather be
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da

I'm bleeding to death
On the cloudiest day
A-three-four-five beat
A-waltzing away

I'm counting the beat, two-three-four-five
I'm feeling the heat, glad to be alive
I'm counting the beat, six-seven-eight-nine
I'm wishing that you, that you were mine

5、Six Months in a Leaky Boat"

"Six Months in a Leaky Boat" 是 Split Enz于1982年5月发布的专辑Time and Tide中的一首歌曲。其在澳大利亚、新西兰和加拿大都大受欢迎。但在英国，这首歌发表的时候正好赶上马岛战争（虽然录制于战争之前）， 很多英国人认为歌曲是在暗地批判这场战争，很多电台，包括BBC也以歌曲中提及的leaky boats （沉船）不合时宜为由，将其从播放曲单中删掉了。看来无脑愤青是不分时间和地域的，而躺枪之人也是无时不在的。

Split Enz是 新西兰的一支艺术摇滚乐队，在上世纪70年代和80年代初期广受欢迎。该乐队成立于1973年，核心成员是 Tim Finn and Phil Judd, 1984年解散，期间曾去澳大利亚和英国发展。

Split Enz 有十张专辑进入了新西兰官方音乐排行榜（Official New Zealand Music Chart.）的前十名。


Lyrics

Six Months in a Leaky Boat"


When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for me
Living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor
Circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer
Will acknowledge no frontier
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare
'Round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat
Aotearoa
Rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl
At the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance
Didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me
I'll conquer and stay free
Ah, c'mon all you lads
Let's forget and forgive
There's a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat
Ship-wrecked love can be cruel
Don't be fooled by her kind
There's a wind in my sails
Will protect and prevail
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Nothing to it leaky boat

Lyrics

Don't stray
Don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
Let me down
I say it's all because of you

And here I go
Losing my control
I'm practicing your name
So I can say it
To your face it doesn't
Seem right
To look you in the eye
Let all the things
You mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true

Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

And there's no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon

Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Now it all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon
It's time
Tell you why
I say it's
Infinitely true

Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Lyrics

Hey, I got a lotof faith in you
I'll stick with you kid, that's the bottom line
Yeah, you have a lot of fun don't you
And living with you is a ball of a time
Hey beauty when the mood gets you down

Warm moonlight over my horizon, she's a slice of heaven

Hey, I gottalotta faith in you

Yeah, we have a lot of fun don't we

That's when I gotta play the clown for you
Black humor made me kick my blues

是，要不是英国排行不理想，估计当年成绩会更好

slice of heaven也不错

这么多年的老歌了，当资料收集了

现在如果再评选，估计会有很大变化，毕竟20年过去了，新西兰又出了很多优秀的歌手和作品

8、"Victoria"

  

"Victoria" 是新西兰摇滚乐队 The Exponents（原名 the Dance Exponents，主唱和词曲作者是Jordan Luck. ）的首支单曲，收在专辑Prayers Be Answered 中。该歌曲发表于1982年6月，最高排名到新西兰单曲榜的第六名。

Jordan Luck介绍这首歌的灵感来自他在基督城的女房东Vicky，23岁的Vicky拥有四间公寓房，喜欢读阿尔文·托夫勒，成功的运作着陪护业务（特殊服务那一类，你懂的……），但却有一个喜欢家暴的男朋友……

Lyrics

She gets glancessince they first greeted
Sent salutations that can't be repeated
She's become a social institution
Prepares her prey like an execution

Victoria
What do you want from him, want from him?
Victoria
What do see in him, see in him?

She's up in time to watch the soap opera
Reads cosmopolitan and Alvin Toffler
Meeting in the places that she's never been to
She's got a mind but it's the clothes they seethrough

Victoria
What do you want from him, want from him?
Victoria
What do see in him, see in him?

She lives with a man who sees her as money
Laughs at his lines that aren't even funny
She's in bed but she's not sleeping
Is he a customer that's really worth keeping?

Victoria
What do you want from him, want from him?
Victoria
What do see in him, see in him?

There's no such thing as romance blooming
Sundays are for washing and doing the hoovering
Talking to her friends on the telephone
Another jerk rings up who won't leave her alone

Victoria
What do you want from him, want from him?
Victoria
What do see in him, see in him?

Lyrics
And I quietly count with her gone
Name any number and I'm counting beyond
Playing it coolly, though you know it isn't even really there
Caress one night away, I was looking for more
More, more, more
But she
She speeds
Elusive as a thief in the night, she's stealing away
She rides the wind, she burn, burns
Yeah she rides the wind, she burn, burns
And her speeding, her freedom's what's appealing to me
to stop her in her tracks
Match an act with flat tactics of attack
These eyes may be steady but my cigarette is shaking
With way deep saying, why don't you leap in
But she, she goes, so no
Leave it, but you know at times it seems
oh I need her more than my mind
Yeah, I need her more than my mind
Oh I need her more than my mind

I don't go out, now that you're in
Sometimes we shout, but that's no problem

I don't know why sometimes I getfrightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

Look at you, you're a pageant
You're everything, that I've imagined
Something's wrong, I feel uneasy
You show me, tell me you're not teasin'

I don't know why sometimes I getfrightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

There's no doubt, not when I'm with you
When I'm without, I stay in my room
Where do you go, I get no answer
You're always out, it gets on my nerves

I don't know why sometimes I getfrightened
You can see my eyes you can tell that I'm not lying
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

You're a brave, brave man

You never sink 'cause you swim
And when your ship can't handle
The heavy seas
Your spirits will get you through
No down on bended knees
You sing save me, save me
Save me from myself
I'm the first to get trigger happy
The first to think of my own health
'Cause I'm, oh I'm
'Cause I'm whaling
Out on the green
I'll never get used to the sea
But I'm whaling
Manning my harpoon
Not where I want it to be
But I'm whaling
Feel like Jonah
Never meaning you no harm
But I'm whaling
Next port of call
Back in my sweet baby's arms
In a room, close
Savouring our love
While we got rest and recreation
Ooh, you sing bravo, bravo
Save me from myself
I'm the first to get trigger happy
The first to think of my own health
'Cause I'm, oh I'm
'Cause I'm whaling
Out on the green
I'll never get used to the sea
But I'm whaling
Manning my harpoon
Not where I want it to be
But I'm whaling

Never meaning you no harm
But I'm whaling

Back in my sweet baby's arms
In a room, close

Lyrics

Hello my friend
It's morning, time to wake now
Your body and mine entwined will have to break now
I want your flesh, your warmth to stay beside me
Oh, how I wish you could be deep inside me

Show me your eyes, your love, mosttender feeling
And I'll give you mine, be truthful and revealing

'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
It's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

When we're alone I cannot always faceyou
Maybe my mood won't let these arms embrace you
That doesn't mean my love's somehow diminished
Give me the time to show our love's unfinished

'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

I need your body, your mind and youremotions
Shed me your tears till I drown in your oceans

'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
It's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

And every word I sing is true

What can I say the words destroy allmeaning
There's only cliche to get across this feeling

That it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

And every word I sing's for you

'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

This is a love song to John and Leisha'smother
This isn't easy
I might not write another

But it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's more than what it might be
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's love not given lightly

'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love

I want to stop my crying

What can I do if she dies?

What can I do if she's lost?
Just the thought fills my heart with Pink Frost
I thought I was dreaming -
So I didn't heed her screaming
I'm so scared
I'm so scared
She won't move and I'm holding her head
She won't move and I'm holding her head
She's lost...Bye Bye Bye
She's lost...Bye Bye Bye
She's lost...Bye Bye Bye
Pink frost...Bye Bye Bye
I'm really not lying
I'm so scared
I'll have to stop my crying
Now she's dead
What can I do if she dies?
What can I do if she dies?
What can I do if she's lost?
Just the thought fills my heart with Pink Frost
(Oh no!)

Walking 'round the room singing"Stormy Weather"
At 57 Mount Pleasant Street
Well it's the same room, but everything's different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream

Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction, wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky

Well, there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?

Everywhere you go, always take theweather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, the weather with you

Everywhere you go, always take theweather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, take the weather

As we finally said our last goodbyes

And as I sailed away, with a longing to stay
I promised I'd be true, and love only you

Blue smoke goes drifting by, into the deep blue sky
My memories of home, will never die

Blue smoke goes drifting by, into the deep blue sky
My memories of home
Will never die

And me and my love blind
She's a log fire in the night

Ohh ohh Blue lady

To help me walk in the dark

You'll be a creature of the night

Like to lay a fat cable, in their bckyard to
Far they've gone now i'm radioactive strong I
Just walk past the switch and all the lights
Turn on, no "last dragon" just left my bones
Exposed didn't reach no final level yet my body
Still glows, why do you wanna annoy, nuclear
Boy with your toy

Wa Pihia neke mase a koe

Feel the light of one who stays overcome some
Day set your sights and chip away

Come break my chains come help me out,living in the city ain't so bad Ch-ch Chale may i pull you 'side for a second
Asking you a question checkin what you reckon
Why you letting your guard down with a frown
Freaking bout what you wear how you walk
Around town did your heads ever think further
Than threads, instead your dress code of the
Soul wardrobe is dead, mislead maybe why's my mirror hazy, morphin intosomething else my own

Image is fading, making, moulding,holding, folding, is it more or a moive, Channel z or 3? Stolen

Stupid as such why is it televsion benow ruled by a crutch, hairless and fearless
Devoid of all shape like a snake, stick, your mouth around the bit that saysinflate, breath deep if a

Sucker that you be, time is running outfor me, to old for cold rubber making whoopee, i prefer a

Woman who is real to the touch, shefeels much, she be the "starsky" to my hutch

Return, anoint the tan with the ointment, now

Come break my chains come help me out, living in the city ain't so bad
Come break my chains come help me out, living in the city ain't so bad

Lyrics

Dominion Road is bending,
Under it's own weight,
Shining like a strip
Cut from a sheet metal plate,
Cause it's just been raining.

Jane had reached the pointwhen she knew
What he meant before he'd opened his mouth,
He couldn't say the same,
Or he'd have guessed she was moving south,
With one of his friends.

But it's getting betternow.
He found it in him to forgive.
He walked the city,
And he found a place to live,
In a half-way house,
Half-way down Dominion Road.
When he watched Jane's brother sell the house,
He felt no sense of loss,
More like a mountain climber,
Looking back, having made it across
The steepest face.
And he's still climbing,
See him trying to cross the street,
He tests his footing,
Like he was up ten thousand feet,
Above the clouds,
Half-way down Dominion Road.
But it's getting better now,
He rests his head on the window sill,
He watches the city,
He can see the antennas in the hills
From the half-way house,
Half-way down Dominion Road,
Half-way down,
Half-way down,
Half-way down Dominion Road.

Lyrics

Living on through politics
Body-guarded, heart in bits
A blue-eyed honesty
Indigo injury
The family tree is felled
Bereavement worn so well
Giving up on certainty
Wilderness society
Wearing the fame like a loaded gun
Tied up with a rosary
Ooh, I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy
Imagine being a Kennedy
Rule without remedy
To watch your family die
The world loves a sacrifice
Prophets longing for the three
Honoring the tragedy
They hunger for the crime
The privilege to take a life
Wearing the fame like a loaded gun
Tied up with a rosary
Ooh, I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy
Glad I'm not a Kennedy
And is not peace basically
A matter of human rights?
The right to live out our lives
Without fear of devastation?
The right to breathe air
As nature provided it?
The right of future generations
To a healthy existence?
Let us, if we can step back from
The shadows of war and seek out
The way of peace
I love the look in your eyes
I can see your soul sometimes, and we laugh
When we try too hard we stop and start
Oh, imagine being a Kennedy
I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy
Wearing the fame like a loaded gun
Tied up with a rosary
I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy
Imagine being a Kennedy
Ooh, I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy
The cost of freedom is always high
Yet one path we shall never choose
That is the path of surrender or submission
When a man's way please the lord
The scriptures tell us
"He maketh even his enemies
To be at peace with him"
We will not prematurely or unnecessarily
Risk the course of worldwide nuclear war
In which even the fruits of victory
Would be ashes in our mouths
Ashes in our mouths
Ashes in our mouths
Ashes in our mouths

When you're here, I'm nowhere
I can't pretend that I'm not down
I show it, I know it
I've been a fool - more than once, more than twice
I'm gonna move to a new town where the people are nice

I hope I never, I hope Inever have to sigh again
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I still want to beam and smile
Happiness is back in style yeah

I hope I never, I hope I never have to see you again
Again, oh oh oh oh

It should be possible I know
To see you without stress
But I can see I'll have to go
I'm changing my address
My urge to cry I have failed to conceal
Life - it's no fun when you're hunted by the things that you feel

I hope I never, I hope Inever have to sigh again
I hope I never, I hope I never have to cry again
I'm for living while you can
I'm an optimistic man

I hope I never, I hope Inever have to see you again
Again, oh oh oh oh...

I hope I never
I hope I never
I hope I never, never, never...

I hope I never, I hope Inever have to see you again

Again.

Lyrics

You're back againbut I'm so sorry, it's too late
You've got behind, you're somewhere back in '58
I guess it goes to show how wrong a girl can be
I'm standing right in front of you you can't seeme

Tears
I feel them on my cheeks
Tears
I've been this way for weeks
Tears
I'm back here at the start
Tears
Tearing me apart

You said you were an agency for paradise
I went along, it slipped my mind to check theprice

Tears
I feel them on my cheeks
Tears
I've been this way for weeks
Tears
I'm back here at the start
Tears
Tearing me apart

You say you love me still, it's a lie
You say you always will, tell me why
All you ever do is make me cry

Tears
If this is love I'd like to kick it

Tears
You've picked me up so you can put me down again
I guess it must be true those things they sayabout men

They're all around they try to tell me it's ok
Yeah
They way I feel, I'd like to push them all away

Tears
I feel them on my cheeks
Tears
I've been this way for weeks
Tears
I'm back here at the start
Tears
Tearing me apart

Tears
I feel them on my cheeks
Tears
I've been this way for weeks
Tears
I'm back here at the start
Tears
Tearing me apart
