What's The Matter With You (With True Colours)

by Split Enz

on True Colours (1980), Anniversary (1997)

Tim: Thank you. We'd like to do a song now from the True Colours album. This was an album that hardly anyone knew about at the time. It was, it's a long time ago now, it was a bit of a cult sort of thing, uh, it was called True Colours, and, um, we actually had a song called True Colours. I, I reckon eddie we should just do a verse of that. now just for old time's sake.

Let's rock like we've never done before
Let's roll, let's see you out on the floor
Let's rock, let's see you move around
Let's roll, come on, let's roll on out of here

Eddie Rayner on the piano here

CHORUS
What's the matter with you?
Look down on everything we do
I really wonder if you see today like I do
What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with you?
You don't look cool in shades of blue
I really wonder if you see today like I do
What's the matter with you?

When I got up today I felt so much brighter
My head was swimming with delight, and I told her
But she said, "What's so good about today?" as she walked away
She's down in the dumps without a reason why

CHORUS

The worried look that's on your face makes you older
You realize that things will never be better
Yes sir, the weathers clear there's Eskimos in summer clothes
I don't suppose you'd like to laugh with me

CHORUS

Yeah, one more
Hey, here we go
I really wonder if you
I really wonder if you
I really wonder if you
I really wonder if you see today like I do
What's the matter with you?
