Additional Information
True Colours, the most commercially successful album of New Zealand group Split Enz’ career, celebrated its 40th anniversary earlier in the year. To commemorate the milestone, the multi-platinum album is now set to be re-imagined and covered by a stellar mix of Australian and New Zealand artists and released as True Colours, New Colours – The Songs of Split Enz, out on 12th February 2021.
On the project, Tim Finn notes “True Colours, New Colours features an eclectic group of artists who bring eccentricity and swagger to these tunes. Curated in a singular manner which eschews the obvious and turns up the attitude. Love it!”
Featuring covers from the likes of Stan Walker, Ladyhawke, Robinson, Shihad, Dual, Pacific Heights, The Beths, Chelsea Jade, Lime Cordiale, Bernard Fanning and Busby Marou, each covered track will be released alongside the original Spilt Enz version of the song digitally, the first cover to be shared from the forthcoming album comes from Kiwi rock band, Shihad with I Got You.
Lyrics
I got you, that's all I want I won't forget, that's a whole lot I don't go out now that you're in Sometimes we shout, but that's no problem I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying Look at you, you're a pageant You're everything that I've imagined Something's wrong, I feel uneasy You show me, tell me you're not teasing I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying There's no doubt, not when I'm with you When I'm without, I stay in my room Where do you go? I get no answer You're always out, it gets on my nerves I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying
