A song about facing fear

Posted on Jan 18th, 2009 by muji : messenger muji
I posted the video of a song called "Dirty Creature" by Split Enz. I did so because it's a beautiful, fun look at fear...how it limits us and how it's all our own creation. These are the lyrics. Enjoy.

Dirty Creature by Tim Finn

Dirty Creature come my way from the bottom of a big black lake
Shuffles up to my window making sure I'm awake
S'probably gonna pick my brain
Got me in a vice-like grip
He said one slip, your dead. Ha.
Dirty Creature of habit, Little horror here to stay
Anyone in his right mind would tell it to go away
But the river of dread runs deep, full of unspeakable things
The creature don't mess around
I don't wanna mess with him
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail
I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight
Dirty Creature's got me at a disadvantage from the inside.
Tentacles on the brain keep me from falling asleep
I'm rooted to the spot, The beast don't know when to stop
Sneaking up from behind, Binds and gags my wits
Dirty Creature got my head exactly where he wants it
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail,
I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight,
Taniwha is waiting for me just below the surface so bright
(Yeah-eah-eah-eah)
Even as we speak the Dirty Creature springs a nasty surprise.
Dirty Creature knows my type found it in a magazine
He's seen the look of fear before splattered all over the screen
The animal magnet thug draws me out of myself
I need a dragon-slayer who can save me from myself
I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail,
I don't wanna set sail for the middle of nowhere tonight
Dirty Creature's got me at a disadvantage from the inside
(Yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah)
I don't wanna sail upon the waters of invention tonight
