Split Enz - Semi-Detached Lyrics

Split Enz Lyrics

"Semi-Detached"

I wanna leave here
I wanna get to hell away
My body's frozen
And in my head the pain is here to stay
Panic seems too close for comfort, save me

I gotta get going before I cause an accident
The wind is blowing, the summer's gone
And I can't pay the rent
Debt collectors, slap-dash noisy children

Who's gonna be there when the going gets rough
Ooh I wonder
We're semi-detached and we'll burn like matchsticks
We'll be wonderful, oh

I want a fire, I want a brimstone baptism
Got no illusion, friction or fusion
Time has come
In my garden cats entreat me "Spare us"

And as for people
They're semi-detached, aren't they?
So I can't be sure
I think I heard a neighbour say
"He'll amount to nothing, he's pathetic"

Who's gonna be there when the going gets rough
Ooh I wonder
We're semi-detached and we'll burn like matchsticks
We'll be wonderful, oh

Who's gonna be there when the going gets rough
Ooh I wonder
We're semi-detached and we'll burn like matchsticks
We'll be wonderful, oh

Who's gonna be there when the going gets rough?
Ooh I wonder
Semi-detached and we'll burn like matchsticks
We'll be wonderful, oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Mmm mmm mmm
