Powderfinger Lyrics


Some bands burst into the public consciousness with a flare
of brilliance, or simple novelty, and just as quickly
disappear. Others – Australian quintet Powderfinger, for
instance – slowly build their sound and identity through
hard work and perseverance, and then appear, fully-formed,
leaving listeners asking, "Where did THEY come from?"

Powderfinger comes from Brisbane, Australia, and over the
seven years since their 1994 debut album they have become
the top rock band in their native country. Winners of
nearly every major award in More...

Reviews about Powderfinger songs
andrea's review | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Bless My Soul performed by Powderfinger

Apologies Andrea (above) but seeing this song was released on the Fingerprints album, I don't think "Bless my soul" is a tribute to Mrs Fanning. She didn't come on the scene til way after the song's release.

"skinny jean" rocks | Reviewer: trisha
    ------ About the song Skinny Jean performed by Powderfinger

skinny jean is one of my favourite songs of all time, and i'm stoked that it's from my favourite band as well. skinny jean belongs to powderfinger, and powderfinger alone. everything is right about it, from beginning to end, vocals to sound. great edgy sound, and a huge range of mood and tempo as well, from groove, to crescendo in the chorus, even some sympathy seems to creep in there. i continue to marvel at the tight instrumentals, and the apparent depth of the lyrics. i think it makes a very relevant statement about the perils of fashion and the effect that obsessively or narrowly following it can have on a life. I'm still not entirely sure what it's exactly about and some of the things it refers to- the lyrics are cryptic at times- but that's the mystery and pleasure of it- there's always something more to discover here, another layer of meaning. i reckon it's still the tightest and most compelling song on Double Allergic- a ripping start to a great album. go powderfinger, love your voice bernard if you're reading this!

Super Song! | Reviewer: Blomberg
    ------ About the song Sunsets performed by Powderfinger

Hey, this song is great, i love it. It really explains the cultural references and differences between Australia and Japan

Bernard found love indeed | Reviewer: andrea
    ------ About the song Bless My Soul performed by Powderfinger

When in Spain in 2005, Bernard met a young lady called Andrea and obviously wrote the song about meeting her again.... They married in January this year.

Bernie's Christian symbolism | Reviewer: Adam
    ------ About the song Bless My Soul performed by Powderfinger

I just went to check the lyrics ‘cos I listened to the song this morning and thought – ‘I reckon old Bernie’s a Christian’. There’s Christian baptism imagery (hold me down under the waves) associated with the emotion of repentance and re-birth (nothing I’ve done yet is worthy of showing to you [God]; I need somewhere to begin; life has turned me right over and left me to be ever changed).

It sounds like he has had some spiritual experience in Spain. It’s not in the lyrics pasted below, but Bernard actually sings ‘Won’t you come back again’ at one point, which has Christian ‘eschatological’ (end times) symbolism, i.e. I think he’s referring to Jesus, and yearning for his second coming. It’s a theme that pops up in other Powderfinger songs such as The Day You Come and Waiting for the Sun (where Bernie uses the standard trope, or play on words, that uses ‘sun’ to represent ‘Son’ [Jesus]):


I can see your face there in my hands my love
I have been blessed by your grace and care my love
Singing my love

There's a place for us sitting here waiting for the sun
And it calls me back into the safe arms that I know

For every step you're further away from me my love
I grow more unsteady on my feet my love
Singing my love

Now we're waiting for the sun
