Purple Light (studio demo)
Neil Finn

In the purple light
Glass on the tray
We’re making it plain tonight
The question hangs
With some respect
You can reflect your life
As they say, it’s comin’ at ya
Day after day after day now

I won’t think twice
Once begun
It can’t be turned off
Blue and red become
The perfect sight
In the purple light

For two whole days
The breaking rocks
Breaking up the haze
A slow release
Time to go
Making it show you know how
As we say, it’s comin’ at ya
Day after day after day now

You won’t think twice
Don’t confess
It can’t be turned off
Well I will become
The perfect sight
In the purple light

Deep holes in space
Through the centre of the Earth
Come up in my backyard
Faces that shine
A sense of calm
In the chaos around us now

Who, don’t think twice
Won’t confess
Won’t be turned off
Blue will become
The perfect sight
In the purple light
In the purple light
In the purple light
In the purple light
In the purple light
In that purple light

Face the stereo love
Face the stereo love
…

Time On Earth
Neil Finn

(An earlier version recorded during the One All sessions in 2001.)

Clean out my room
Find something to do to
To keep my mind off things

Deep holes in space
Through the centre of the earth
Come up in my backyard

Faces that shine
With a sense of calm
Now all that’s behind us now

Across the ocean as I take another breath
Your beating heart comes to rest

Drift in the car
Of the crystal moon
Splashes on my front door

Hung on your head
You wear a halo now
Beautiful in motel

Across the ocean as I take another breath
It brings me back
To what really matters

Ooo I don’t think twice
Time on Earth
Could be time spent
Well, every night
I raise a glass
To your good health

The purple light, ash on the tray
Everything changed tonight
A slow release
It’s time to go, making it show
You know how

As they say, it’s coming at you
Day after day after day now

Ahh, I won’t think twice
Time on Earth
Could be time spent
Well, every night
I raise a glass
To your good health

The purple light, ash on the tray
Everything changed tonight
