Crosswords Lyrics by Split Enz

Dizrythmia

1977

[Verse: 1]
Bad mouth crosswords need a muzzle
I'm down, you're across
I can't seem to solve this puzzle
I turn while you toss

[Chorus:]
Crosswords puzzle me, it's frightening
We're still friends but we're still fighting

[Verse: 2]
Cat and dog, we trade black looks
C'mon and do your worst
The war of words demands surrender
I won't be the first

[Chorus:]
Crosswords puzzle me, it's frightening
We're still friends but we're still fighting
Crosswords puzzle me, it's frightening
We're still friends but we're still fighting

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Verse: 3]
Get an earful, leave you tearful
Careful who you cross
We get close when we get angry
Crossword's still the boss

[Chorus:]
Crosswords puzzle me, it's frightening
We're still friends but we're still fighting
Crosswords puzzle me, it's frightening
We're still friends but we're still fighting

[Guitar Solo 2]

[Outro:]
Crosswords, crosswords
Smart words, smart words, won't tease me
Crosswords, tax man
No we can't agree, love that third degree
Crosswords, crosswords, passwords, smart words
No we can't agree, love that third degree
