"Nobody Takes Me Seriously".

Paul.

I'll give the nod to Missing Person..Neil's lyrics are cool,and it's just one of those songs that gets stuck in your brain for like days at a time after hearing it..ahhh!Not that I mind of course..

Poor Boy.

Yes, have to agree there Bono, Missing Person it is, but in my case it only JUST edges out "I Hope I Never" and the incomparable "Poor Boy".

...But with lyrics like "Step In My Shoes, You'll See That I Don't Fit", I have to vote for the song of my life, don't I?

Missing Person or Poor Boy or Nobody Takes Me Seriously??


On balance Missing Person just shades it!

I Got You!!

Stepinmyshoes, you seem to have edited your above post out of existence.

Sheesh, I can't pick just one favorite off this album, too many great songs! Just an observation, though: it interests me how "Missing Person" seems to be one of those "love it or hate it" songs (I fall into the former category!) - several people voted for it in the "Worst Song Neil has ever written" thread.

id would have to say missing person i love that song!

Hmmm well it's gotta be either I Got You or Poor Boy.....er.... okay I'll go for Poor Boy.

I Got You... hands down ;-)

actually all I did was change the icon, in order to (if it is indeed possible) make my choice clearer.

Eyes open wide, but all I see is black ... OK, I think I get it now

In a landslide ... Poor Boy!

It's getting tougher...Poor Boy by a whisker over Missing Person, Nobody Takes Me Seriously and I Got You

Shark attack.

"Shark Attack", gotta love that edge in the keyboards...

It's going to have to be 'I HOPE I NEVER'

I think it could have easily gone to 'Poor Boy,' but this 'I Hope I Never' is probably one of Tim's prettiest melodies, and Mr. Rayner stuns us again with some fabulous piano.

Nobody Takes Me Seriously.

This is definitely the hardest one.

Radiobug said it - "I Hope I Never" by a hair over "Poor Boy." One of the finest melodies to ever light upon an eardrum.

I Hope I Never is my choice although I Got You is the song that turned my ear the first time and got me into all things Finn, I Hope I Never and Poor Boy both have held up better over time.

Shark Attack! Hand's down! It's just so good!
I love the Keyboards! Genius, pure genius!

I gotta pick "I Got You" (but "Poor Boy" is a close second).

Feeling a bit sad today I choose Poor boy!

SHARK >>>> ATTACK>>>>>!!!!

Missing Person.

I will now proceed to bore you with the reasons whY. Split Enz was a forgotten band for me in 1986, when, after travelling for some time, I played True Colourson my home stereo for the first time in some years. It was a pleasant enough experience, but when Missing Person came on I was completely blown away. So, although many of the others rate highly, MP has a special place in my heart. I don't think I would have rediscovered the Enz and all that followed without having heard that song again. Bla bla bla.....

Bogue.

I have a strange vote:

Double Happy..... No Singing, no lyrics, just good music... Let's my mind really dream!!

Although Poor Boy is a VERY close second.

Definitely I got you

I hope I never.

Poor boy.
