Loves got teeth and she bites so hard
Leaving you for dead like a deadly shark
And she doesn't leave a lot to be saved
Leaving you for dead like a deadly shark
And she doesn't leave a lot to be saved
I was swimming in the harbour of your smile
Splashing in the ocean like a child
I didn't know what dangers lurked there
Just beyond the waves
Shark attack
Splashing in the ocean like a child
I didn't know what dangers lurked there
Just beyond the waves
Shark attack
Well she chewed me up and she spat me out
I didn't want to meet a man eater
Shark attack
I didn't want to meet a man eater
Shark attack
Please don't mess around with me
I'm a shark fatality, in the sea
I'm the one with the bleeding heart
I thought you were a real lifesaver
And life for once would do me a favour
But baby's just a butcher, and her teeth are razor sharp
Shark attack

The Springbok Tour, 1981
An alternative anthem?
The year 1981 was a time of great economic anxiety in New Zealand, which was characterised by rising unemployment, industrial strife and a growing resentment of the Muldoon government. On the social/political front an impending Springbok rugby tour of New Zealand carried with it the fear of massive civil unrest. This sense of unease was captured by the seminal Auckland band Blam Blam Blam, which, in July 1981, released ‘There is no depression in New Zealand’.

There is No Depression in New Zealand

(1981)
(1981)
There is no depression in New Zealand;
there are no sheep on our farms,
There is no depression in New Zealand;
we can all keep perfectly calm,
Everybody's talking about World War Three;
everybody's talking about World War Three,
But we're as safe as safe can be,
there's no unrest in this country
We have no dole queues,
we have no drug addicts,
we have no racism,
we have no sexism, sexism, no, no
There is no depression in New Zealand;
there are no teeth in our heads
There is no depression in New Zealand;
we sleep in a well made bed
Oh but everybody's talking about World War Three,
yes everybody's talking about World War Three,
But we're as safe as safe can be,
there's no unrest in this country
We have no SIS,
we have no secrets,
we have no rebellion;
we have no valium, valium, no, no
There is no depression in New Zealand;
there are no sheep on our farms,
There is no depression in New Zealand;
oh we can all keep perfectly calm,
perfectly calm,
perfectly calm,
perfectly calm,
perfectly calm...

We are the people
Who eat toast and butter and jam
People in other places
Just wouldn't understand
Who eat toast and butter and jam
People in other places
Just wouldn't understand
We are the people
Who drink milk with our tea
People in other places
Don't do it like you and me
The Reason For Breakfast Who drink milk with our tea
People in other places
Don't do it like you and me
(The Breakfast Anthem)
(1989)
You put the butter on and then the jam
Is this the way we usually do it
It's not big deal
do it this way
You know what I think
Do it like this
Flying Nun
Where all things romantic, in the south pacific
And the only peace is the spit on a feast, your feast yeah
Do you know what makes the ocean glow
Do you know what makes the ocean glow
When unwelcome guests, are making nuclear tests
Are making nuclear tests, are making nuclear tests
Are making nuclear tests
Oh yes, no nukes hah ahhhhhhh
Nuclear mis-energy, nuclear, nuclear, free yo yo yo yo yo
Is there nothing at all who can appease your greed
Could you please leave the air we breath
Why is it something we’ve done
You all seem to forget
About nuclear fallout and the long term effects
Is there anything gained when you hide the plane
Anything gained when you hide the plane
Let me be more specific, get out of the pacific
Ki te la pacific, get out of the pacific
Ki te la pacific
Have you even been told that your ass is too big?
Have you ever been asked if your hair is a wig?
Have you ever been told you're mediocre in bed?
Have you ever been told you've got a weird-shaped head?
Has your family ever forgotten you and driven away?
Once again, they forgot about J
Were you ever called "homo" 'cause at school you took drama?
Have you ever been told that you look like a llama?

I make a meal for my friends,
Try to make it delicious,
Try to keep it nutritious,
Create wonderful dishes.
Not one of them thinks about the way I feel
Nobody compliments the meal

I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
I feel like a prize asshole

You coulda said something nice about my profiteroles

Here's a little story to bring a tear to your eye,
I was shopping for a wetsuit to scuba dive,
But every suit I tried is too big around the thighs,
And the assistant suggested I try a ladies' size

It's my birthday, 2003
Waitin' for a call from my family
Waitin' for a call from my family
They forgot about me
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
The day after my birthday is not my birthday, Mum
The day after my birthday is not my birthday, Mum
I call my friends and say, "Let's go into town"
But they're all too busy to go into town
So I go by myself, I go into town
Then I see all my friends, they're all in town
But they're all too busy to go into town
So I go by myself, I go into town
Then I see all my friends, they're all in town
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings.

I'm crying tears of a rapper

The diamond tears of a rapper

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy

But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
Kimbra - Settle Down
Runner
Read the lyrics before listening:
running on wishes - trying to be optimistic, but not feeling very optimistic
the pay off - the reward
I’ve wasted love throwing my heart at a lost cause
a lost cause - something that's not worth fighting for
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
We can settle at a table
A table for two
Won't you wine and dine with me?
Settle down
I wanna raise a child
I wanna raise a child
Won't you raise a child with me
Raise a child
We'll call her Nebraska
Nebraska Jones
She'll have your nose
Just so you know
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark
Star so light and star so bright
First star I see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna settle down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
Angela Vickers is a socialite in the film A Place in the Sun (1951). She seduces and leads astray a young man.

Runner
Read the lyrics before listening:
I’m running on empty, trying to take a long view
hoping that my happiness is on my way toward you
run out of feelings, nothing left for you
I made a mess of them with somebody before you
Running on empty - being low on energy, or possibly literally not having much fuel left in your tank.
Running on empty - being low on energy, or possibly literally not having much fuel left in your tank.
I’ve wasted my heart throwing love down a wishing well
now I can tell when the bottom’s near
so I keep running and the further that I go
the more I love to be on my own
getting near to the bottom - similar meaning to running on empty
getting near to the bottom - similar meaning to running on empty
I’ll stick around for the fun, but baby I’m a runner
Coz you might be the one or just another lover
I’m here now for the fun, but baby I’m a runner
Coz you could be the one or just another lover
A runner - someone who doesn't commit in a relationship
A runner - someone who doesn't commit in a relationship
I’m running on wishes, promises of all new
beginnings and everything I felt when I first saw you
running on the feeling that just around the corner
is the pay off for all of the hell I went through for ya
running on wishes - trying to be optimistic, but not feeling very optimistic
the pay off - the reward
I’ve wasted love throwing my heart at a lost cause
and all because it seemed easier
but I kept running and the further that I got
the more I realized that it’s not
a lost cause - something that's not worth fighting for

Honey, your face is folding up
As the memory kisses you goodbye
It's better to live with melody and have an honest time
Isn't that right?

Boney M - Brown Girl in the Ring (1979)
Brown Girl
I'm more than the colour of my skin
I'm a girl that likes to sing
All I know is what's within
Not just a brown girl in the ring
Go to school and learn their ways
Told how to think and what to say
While my mother says to pray
I pray for better days
God, please help them see
They ain't no different from me
Not above, not beneath
Teach them equality
I'm not just a brown girl in the ring
I'm a girl that likes to sing
I'm not just a brown girl in the ring
I'm a girl that likes to sing
I'm more than what they think of me
More than the colour tones that they see
More than urban, R&B, more than a slang that I speak

Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again
You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
My little blond haired blue eyed boyOne day you'll grow up and be distressedOne day you'll grow up and reject everythingI've set out for you
My only dear long wasteful sonOne day you'll wonder what you've becomeOne day all this could be yours ifYou only had the will to outliveYour mother and I
Looking in, from the outsideCouldn't see it was trueOh my dear, dark childI've been waiting for you
Looking in, from the outsideCouldn't see it was trueYou've been given too much timeOh my darlingI've been waiting for youWaiting for youWaiting for youWaiting for you
Although the news came as no surpriseI always hoped I'd never have to bury a child
