❤👍, Best and the Shit (Good Shit) post of this baddass song from my youth in sound, speed of how I recalled it and cover to clip here on UA-cam. KROQ used to play this baddass jam alot and recall it in early punk days here in East LA
There's a lot of good acts around Plenty of profound performers But there's only one, who really gets through to me Whenever you come on I light up Everything you do goes down well I can tell, after you it's all downhill Proving you're a hard act to follow You're a hard act to follow You make it difficult (so) difficult Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance Hard act to follow Watch a lot of foreign movies See a lot of late night TV Looking for a girl to distract me from what you are Try to lose my concentration Acting out of sheer frustration I go out at night, but after you it doesn't feel right Proving you're a hard act to follow You're a hard act to follow You make it difficult, so difficult Hard act to follow you're a hard act to follow Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance Hard act to follow There's a lot of good acts around Plenty of profound performers But there's only one, who really gets through to me And I'm not looking for an actress No, no, no, no saki hostess All I want is you and you and you and you and you Encore, encore, encore, encore Proving you're a hard act to follow You're a hard act to follow You make it difficult to even think of taking in another play Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance Lie like Ophelia Proving you're a mean scene stealer Proving you're a hard act to follow Hard act to follow
An absolutely Perfect Song!! Has haunted me for decades!
Never gets the credit it deserved......killer track
In 1981 , a great year for music this & One Step ahead were way ahead of most. Brilliant album , Waita is !
One of my all-time favorite Tim Finn tracks!
Grew up on this. Thanks for posting, brought back some good memories!
Love Noels percussion!!!
Simply brilliant!!
I have that record and its one of my favorites! Love Split Enz!
the song itself is a hard act to follow
got a pinback button from a thrift store with this group on it. Glad I looked them up
Just brilliant ... the music is never stale even after all these years
Whooosh! Straight back to 1982 when I first heard Waiata!

There's a lot of good acts around
Plenty of profound performers
But there's only one, who really gets through to me
Whenever you come on I light up
Everything you do goes down well
I can tell, after you it's all downhill
Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult (so) difficult
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Hard act to follow
Watch a lot of foreign movies
See a lot of late night TV
Looking for a girl to distract me from what you are
Try to lose my concentration
Acting out of sheer frustration
I go out at night, but after you it doesn't feel right
Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult, so difficult
Hard act to follow you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Hard act to follow
There's a lot of good acts around
Plenty of profound performers
But there's only one, who really gets through to me
And I'm not looking for an actress
No, no, no, no saki hostess
All I want is you and you and you and you and you
Encore, encore, encore, encore
Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult to even think of taking in another play
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Lie like Ophelia
Proving you're a mean scene stealer
Proving you're a hard act to follow
Hard act to follow
Gorgeous....best.
