World Where You Live
Neil Finn
Here’s someone now who’s got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain
Expert in bed but come on now
There must be something missing
That golden one leads a double life
You'll find out
But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live
So here we lie against each other
These four walls can never hold us
We're looking for wide open spaces
High above the kitchen
And we're strangers here
On our way to some other place
But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live
The world where you live
When friends come round
You might remember and be sad
Behind their eyes is unfamiliar
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live...

In 1985/86, while working in Los Angeles, Neil would sometimes sleep in his manager’s spare room.
“I used to wake up quite often to the sound of his neighbour having sex with his wife or girlfriend. ‘Here’s someone now who’s got the muscle’ was that guy. And then, ‘I don’t know where you go, do you climb into space’ - they were sort of mysterious sounds, so that was me thinking about what people would get up to.”
