Everything Is Good For You
Neil Finn
I see a man with a flag and he leads the procession
And a woman shedding tears for a man locked in prison
And the two locked eyes and for a moment I was taken
All paths lead to a single conclusion
Everything is good for you
If it doesn’t kill you
Everything is good for you
One man’s ending
Is another one’s beginning
Everything is good for you
It’s a nightmare jump into a restless ocean
Where the reckless come to state their position
And if you come undone it might just set you free
Everything is good for you
If it doesn’t kill you
Everything is good for you
One man’s ending
Is another one’s beginning
Bring back your head
Here comes trouble
To turn the angry word
Cover you up
Everything is good for you
If it doesn’t kill you

“[A song] about not letting regrets ruin your life.”
“We’d gone back to working with Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake for those bonus tracks. There was a working environment that had a lovely feel to it. You know, a feeling of putting on an old coat and finding a tenner in the pocket. It was nice to get the old team back for that one.”
