Formado em 1985 pelo compositor Neil Finn, o Crowded House ficou conhecido no Brasil com a canção “Don’t Dream It’s Over”, que foi tema da novela "O outro" da Rede Globo, em 1987. No ano seguinte a banda emplacou seu último grande sucesso no Brasil, “Better Be Home Soon”, que foi incluída em duas coletâneas, "Mega Hits 2" da Emi/Odeon e "Hitmakers" da Som Livre. A banda neozelandesa, apesar do estrondoso sucesso em sua terra natal e na Inglaterra, nunca conseguiu repetir a façanha nos EUA, onde emplacou apenas estes dois hits.

NAILS IN MY FEET (Neil Finn)
As performed by Crowded House on the album "Together Alone"
*Capo 3rd fret
Am My life is a house Bdim you crawl through the window EAm slip across the floor and into the reception room AmBdim you enter the place of endless persuasion E like a knock on the door Am when there's ten or more things to do
CFEmG Who is that calling? CFEmG you my companion CFE run to the water on a burning beach AmE and it brings me relief
Pass through the walls to find my intentions circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state I look into space there is no connection a million points of light and a conversation I can't face
Cast me off one day to lose my inhibition sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee AmEAmE wear the nails on your feet
I woke up the house stumbled in sideways the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!" the savage review it left me gasping but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
Total surrender your touch is so tender CFG your skin is like water on a burning beach CFEmG and it brings me relief
CFG Like a night in your mind it brings me relief
in the back door under the stars and the scenery is my floor in the back room under the stars and the scenery is my floor
Bdim x2343x (I actually prefer Bm7b5 because it's easier to finger: x2323x)
The C F Em G progression on the chorus can be substituted with CC/FC/EG for an interesting-sounding variation.
C/F 132010 (just an open C with F as the root) C/E 032010 (likewise, you include the low E)
