"Kill Eye" comes from Temple of Low Men, Crowded House's 1988 album, and it's Neil Finn's song: he wrote it, plays the guitar and sings lead. Paul Hester's drums and Nick Seymour's electric bass keep it on edge, and the result is one of the album's more restless moments, a tense, knotted pop song with a jittery pulse, the prettiness of Finn's melody pushing against something darker underneath.
