Sneaky Feelings

About Sneaky Feelings

Sneaky Feelings was a 1980s New Zealand pop/rock band, led by Matthew Bannister, which recorded on the Flying Nun label. Initially recording with the line-up of Bannister (guitar), David Pine (guitar), Kat Tyrie (bass guitar) and Martin Durrant (drums), Tyrie was replaced by John Kelcher early in the band's career. Durrant left shortly before the band's demise, and was replaced by Ross Burge. Sneaky Feelings were unusual among Dunedin sound bands in that all four members of the band sang and several of the members wrote material. The jangle sound of the guitars and layered vocals drew their influence from the music of the Byrds and the Beatles, and comparisons can be made with some of California's Paisley Underground bands. The band's name comes from a song by Elvis Costello, "Sneaky Feelings", which is on his first album My Aim Is True (1977). more »

Now, everybody's breakin' up somebody else's home
Before somebody else starts breaking up their own
I get you in my dreams, you should hear the things you say
It's not that it's so much fun, but it's safer that way

Sneaky feelings, sneaky feelings
You can't let those kind of feelings show
I'd like to get right through the way I feel for you
But I've still got a long way to go

Why don't we call it a day, and we can both confess
You can force me to use a little tenderness
White lies, alibis, now anything but say that it's true
Now we could sit like lovers, staring in each other's eyes
But the magic of the moment might become too much for you

Sneaky feelings, sneaky feelings
You can't let those kind of feelings show
I'd like to get right through the way I feel for you
But I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long, long, long way to go
Oh, I've still got a long way to go

Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »
