ONE NEWS CAPTIONS BY LAUREN STRAIN AND HUGO SNELL. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT TVNZ ACCESS SERVICES 2013 DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF SEVEN SHARP, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. HELLO. IT'S FRIDAY. WELCOME TO THE SHOW. IT WAS AN INCLINE. IT BECAME A HILL, AND NOW IT'S A GREAT BIG MOUNTAIN. AUCKLAND HOUSE PRICES ARE ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU WEEP, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE TRYING TO BUY ONE. AND IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE, ACCORDING TO THE EXPERTS. BUT THERE MAY BE ONE WAY OF GETTING A FOOT IN THE PROPERTY DOOR. THE PROBLEM IS A FOOT IS ABOUT ALL THAT'LL FIT. YEAH. AUCKLAND APARTMENTS ARE LAUGHABLY SMALL. HOW SMALL? WE'LL SHOW YOU. SO, THIS IS IT? HOME. LOCATION, LOCATION. PLUS, HE'S SHOOTING FOR THE PERFECT SWANSONG AS HIS TEAM DOES WHAT NOT MANY OTHERS ARE DOING AT THE MOMENT ` BEATING AUSTRALIANS. I'LL FORGIVE HIM. ONE OF THE NICEST MEN IN SPORT, DILLON BOUCHER, PREPARES TO HANG UP HIS VERY LARGE SHOES AS HIS BREAKERS TRY TO WRAP UP THE ANBL FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW. ALSO, AS WELL AS GETTING COLDER, IT IS, OF COURSE, ABOUT TO GET DARKER SOONER. SO CAN'T WE JUST HAVE DAYLIGHT SAVING ALL YEAR ROUND? IN SHORT, NO, YOU CAN'T. THE GOVERNMENT'S HAND IS POISED OVER THE CLOCK THIS WEEKEND, AND THE DIMMER SWITCH AS WELL. AND WHO IS MICHAEL KIWANUKA? YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW HIM YET, BUT HE'S BEING TIPPED FOR SUPERSTARDOM. WE'LL SHOW YOU WHY THE BBC ARE ALL WORKED UP ABOUT THIS SINGER-SONGWRITER. # HOME AGAIN. HOME AGAIN. # MORE NEWS TO MAKE WOULD-BE AUCKLAND HOME OWNERS SLUMP IN DESPAIR TODAY ` THE AVERAGE PRICE OF A HOUSE IN THE CITY IS PREDICTED TO HIT ALMOST 600,000 BY THE END OF THE YEAR. YOU CAN GET 13HA AND A FOUR-BEDROOM HOUSE WITH A SPA BATH IN SOUTHLAND FOR THE SAME MONEY. BUT IF THE PRICES ARE GOING UP IN AUCKLAND, THE SIZE COULD BE GOING DOWN. IT'S ALL PART OF THE THE COUNCIL'S NEW PLANS TO SQUEEZE MORE OF US INTO SMALLER SPACES. AND AS MICHAEL HOLLAND FOUND, THE LIVING IS ALREADY PRETTY TIGHT FOR SOME. THEY'RE A LONG WAY FROM THE QUARTER-ACRE PAVLOVA PARADISE. COLUMNS, CUBICLES OF HUMANITY LIVING ON THE LEDGE. DAILY DOINGS VERY MUCH ON PUBLIC DISPLAY. THIS IS MY APARTMENT FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. 6D? 6D. YEAH COME IN, AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I'M IN. BUT WHILE THOUSANDS CALL THEM HOME,... I LOVE IT. IT'S VERY CENTRAL. ...OTHERS ATTACH FAR LESS FLATTERING LABELS TO MANY OF CENTRAL AUCKLAND'S HIGH-RISE APARTMENTS ` SHOE BOX, CHICKEN COOP AND EVEN 'UN-KIWI'. SURPRISINGLY, AUCKLAND'S POWERS-THAT-BE AREN'T OVERLY COMPLIMENTARY THEMSELVES. SADLY, THEY ARE A VERY GOOD DAILY REMINDER OF WHAT WE DON'T WANT. AS THEY PREPARE US FOR MORE HIGH-DENSITY LIVING, PROMOTING 10 METROPOLITAN CENTRES AS IDEAL FOR APARTMENT DEVELOPMENTS OF UP TO 18 STOREYS. THAT WON'T BE AGAIN? ABSOLUTELY NOT. THERE'S NO URBAN DESIGN. THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT LOOKING AT THOSE BUILDINGS. THEY KIND OF BLOCK EACH OTHER AND BLOCK THE SUNLIGHT. YET FOR ALL THEIR DESIGN SHORTCOMINGS, THE RESIDENTIAL BLOCKS IN HOBSON STREET REINFORCE THE COUNCIL'S CONTENTION THAT THERE IS A DESIRE FOR CLOSE-PROXIMITY LIVING. THIS IS TIGHT, THOUGH, ISN'T IT? VERY TIGHT, BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE LEAVING THIS PLACE, YOU KNOW. I TAKE PRIDE IN IT. IT TAKES ME THREE HOURS TO CLEAN IT. (LAUGHS) THREE HOURS TO CLEAN THIS? ALL OF IT. YES. YOU MUST BE VERY FUSSY. VERY FUSSY. AND IT'S FAIR TO SAY, FUSSY'S IN SHORT SUPPLY ` THIS BALCONY BEAUTIFIER ALONE IN HIS CAUSE. ACROSS THE WAY, WE FIND A GROUP OF INDIAN STUDENTS. I'M PAYING $450 PER WEEK. FOUR IN ALL, SHARING A TWO-BEDROOM UNIT. JUST TWO GUYS IN THE ONE BED, SO IT'S GOOD. YEAH. SO REALLY THIS APARTMENT IS JUST FOR SLEEPING AND EATING? YEAH. SLEEPING AND EATING. DO YOU FEEL CLOSED IN? UM, NO, BECAUSE WE ARE USED TO IT. IS IT WRONG FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO LIVES IN A LARGER HOUSE IN THE SUBURBS TO THINK THIS IS JUST A WEE BIT TOO CHEEK-BY-JOWL LIVING? I CAN'T IMAGINE LIVING IN A HOUSE AGAIN. UM, I'VE ALWAYS LIKED APARTMENT LIVING. BUT THE COUNCIL AND CRITICS ALL AGREE IT CAN BE DONE BETTER AS AUCKLAND TRIES TO SQUEEZE IN ANOTHER MILLION PEOPLE OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT BUILD, BUILD, BUILD. IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE BUILD THE RIGHT THING IN THE RIGHT PLACE, WITH THE RIGHT DESIGN. SO THE HOBSON STREET APARTMENTS HAPPENED AT A TIME WHEN SOME OF THAT PLANNING WASN'T AS WELL TUNED AS IT IS NOW. GOOD URBAN DESIGN IS DRIVEN BY MAKING SURE THE BUILDING RESPECTS OR REFLECTS ITS CONTEXT ` THE PITCH OF THE ROOF, THE FACADES OF THE BUILDING, STEPPING FORWARD AND BACK RATHER THAN RELENTLESS, MONOTONOUS BLANK FACADES. DANCE MUSIC INTERESTING, THOUGH, FOR ALL THE TALK, THE COUNCIL'S VISION STILL ALLOWS APARTMENTS AS SMALL AS 30 SQUARE METRES, WHICH DOESN'T LOOK MUCH BIGGER THAN AN AVERAGE LOUNGE. IT IS SMALL, BUT IT'S KIND OF COSY. NO ARGUING. DEFINITELY NO ARGUING. THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE. HIGH DENSITY AND GOOD DESIGN CAN CO-EXIST. YOU NEED DEVELOPERS COMMITTED TO IT. THIS DEVELOPMENT GOES UP TO FOUR STOREYS. YOU'VE GOT ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR BEDROOMS IN HERE. PEOPLE LOVE IT. PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO MOVE OUT OF HERE. THIS IS THE KIND OF THING WE CAN HAVE ELSEWHERE IN AUCKLAND. BUILDING SOME BEAUTY INTO A BUILDING, MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS SUNLIGHT, THERE IS ENOUGH FRESH AIR, THAT PEOPLE HAVE GOT OUTSIDE SPACES AND THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF, UM, KIND OF HUMANITY ABOUT THESE BUILDINGS ` THAT'S WHAT WE WANT. GOOD QUALITY PLANNING, GOOD QUALITY REGULATION IS NECESSARY FOR GOOD QUALITY MEDIUM- AND HIGH-DENSITY HOUSING OUTCOMES. THE PITCH FROM THE COUNCIL IS SIMPLY 'TRUST US' AS IT PLEDGES NOT TO REPEAT THE MISTAKES OF THE '90S WHEN THE PUSH WAS ON TO BRING RESIDENTIAL LIFE INTO THE CENTRAL CITY. BUT FOR NOW ` AND FOR MANY ` THIS IS HOME, AND THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALL BAD. I'M VERY HAPPY HERE. IT'S MY GODZONE AND MY LITTLE KINGDOM, AND I LOVE IT. All right for one person.� I lived in one. My partner said it just about ruined us. WE'VE BEEN ASKING ON SEVENSHARP.CO.NZ TODAY IF 30M2 IS TOO SMALL TO LIVE IN. CAN WE SEE THAT SHOT AGAIN OF THE 'APARTMENT' OUR TEAM CONSTRUCTED? The important thing to remember about that is that that is all of it ` laundry, bathroom, everything. That is fine for a lounge room, but that is everything. Kitchen. One viewer lives in a house bus and reckons that if things are well-designed, you can live comfortably in that space. Also important what you can access outside the space ` fresh air and outdoor living. Changed policy on balconies. Now minimum of 8m2, not 5. SPEAKING OF AUCKLAND ISSUES, MAYOR LEN BROWN MADE A STRONG STATEMENT TODAY. FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY HE PIGGY-BACKED INTO POWER ON THE BACK OF THE BROWN VOTE, TAKE THAT. LEN BROWN SAYS THE JOB IS GOING WELL, BUT HE WASN'T PREPARED FOR HOW LONELY IT CAN BE AT THE TOP. Aw. I just have visions of him saying, 'Oh, water! Nobody told me about that.' AFTER THE BREAK ` PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY'RE GOING FOR A THREE-PEAT, BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY A WORD. WE HEAR FROM A RETIRING BREAKERS STALWART AHEAD OF THEIR FINALS SHOWDOWN AT THE WEEKEND. AND HOW THESE CAUSED A KIWI TO CHANGE THE WORLD OF TIME KEEPING. PLUS ` HE'S A LITTLE BIT OTIS REDDING AND A LITTLE BIT MARVIN GAYE; NOW HE'S TIPPED BE ALL SUPERSTAR. OUR SPORT COMMENTATOR MARTIN DEVLIN IS HERE NOW. IRONIC, ISN'T IT ` WE FINALLY START DOING OK ON THE FIELD, AND THE WHEELS CONTINUE TO FALL OFF OFF IT WITH NZ CRICKET. That started after the Sri Lanka tour. You have to question how NZ cricket is consistently in this position. The board is full of successful businessman. I don't know they have any feet left to shoot off. Are they just dicks? The way they're behaving, yeah, that's fair. Your most want someone to come along and bang or their heads together. At least if you're going to lie, get your story straight. A lot of the players have now got lawyers because of this report that has come out. We were told that the A team were told to come up with a story when Patel got injured The CEO, David White, criticised Ross Taylor for being honest. This is the same guy that came out earlier and honed into Ross. Anyone would feel awkward, the way Ross was kicked to the curb. It made him seem honest. You have been sacked or demoted. When you walk in and it is no longer offers, that is hard. Ali was at the docks this week with sailors. How big is that thing? Enormous. On its way to San Fran. Are you excited? The last one was in 2007. I remember being up in the middle of the night watching it. Remember that race we lost by one second? With the computer graphics, at the exciting to watch. But there aren't many boats in it. IT will probably grow on you once that happens. How do they sail it? 11 crew now ` vastly reduced. They all do grinding work. Apparently it goes up to 80 Ks. The NZ boat is so fast that Oracle may change the rules on wind speed etc. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A MAGIC MOMENT IN KIWI SPORT, YOU MIGHT ONLY HAVE SEVEN DAYS TO WAIT. THE BREAKERS PLAY THE FIRST OF THEIR BEST-OF-THREE GRAND FINAL GAMES ON SUNDAY, AND THE SECOND NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT. IF THEY WIN, IT MIGHT NOT ONLY BE TEARS OF JOY YOU SEE ` THEY'RE LOSING ONE OF THEIR MOST SUCCESSFUL PLAYERS AT THE END OF THIS SEASON. HERE'S CRAIG STANAWAY. SOFT PIANO MUSIC HE'S BEEN DUBBED THE WORST PLAYER ON THE BEST TEAM. MY BEST MEMORY OF DILLON BOUCHER WAS LAST SEASON IN WOLLONGONG, WHEN I PASSED HIM THE BALL AND HE MISSED A WIDE-OPEN LAY-UP AND IT WENT OVER THE ENTIRE BACKBOARD. YEAH, I NEVER LET HIM LIVE THAT ONE DOWN. (LAUGHS) DILLON BOUCHER. OH! DILLON BOUCHER CAN GO WHOLE GAMES WITHOUT SCORING ANY POINTS. HE BRINGS SO MANY DIFFERENT INTANGIBLES THAT, LIKE, IT DOESN'T COME ACROSS THE STATS SHEET. SWEET BEHIND-THE-BACK PASS FROM DYLAN BOUCHER. HE'S ABLE TO STEAL THE BALL LIKE CEDRIC JACKSON. HE'S ABLE TO REBOUND LIKE MIKA VUKONA. IT'S CALLED DOING THE DIRTY WORK. IT'S EARNED HIM THREE AUSTRALIAN TITLES AND 10 IN NZ. HIS TEAMS WIN A LOT, SO... AT 37, AFTER MORE THAN 300 GAMES, BOUCHER'S FINALLY CALLING IT QUITS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE FINALS SERIES AGAINST PERTH. I'VE MISSED A LOT OF THINGS BECAUSE OF BASKETBALL. I'VE MISSED A LOT OF BIRTHDAYS, WEDDINGS, YOU KNOW, ENGAGEMENTS ` YOU NAME IT. UM, MOST TIMES WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING BIG HAPPENING IN THE FAMILY, I DON'T GET TO GO TO IT. CHANCES ARE, THOUGH, HE'S STILL GOING TO MISS THEM IN RETIREMENT ` BOUCHER'S BEGUN COACHING... SECONDARY-SCHOOL KIDS. WHAT TIME DID YOU GET UP THIS MORNING? I WAS UP AT 6 THIS MORNING. GOT UP, HAD SOME BREAKFAST, CAME ALONG HERE, GOT HERE ABOUT 20 TO 7; TRAINING STARTS AT 7. SO IS THIS YOUR FIRST STEP TO BECOMING ANDREJ LEMANIS? (LAUGHS) I'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO TO BE ANDREJ LEMANIS, BUT YEAH, IT'S OBVIOUSLY, UM, A DIRECTION I REALLY WANT TO GO IN, AS FAR AS MY FUTURE GOES. HIS BRILLIANT BASKETBALLING BRAIN IS PERFECTLY SUITED TO COACHING. HE MIGHT NOT BE THE FASTEST, THE TALLEST, BUT HE IS ONE OF THE SMARTEST TO PLAY THIS GAME. HEY, LET'S GO. LET'S GO. SEE, NOW I'M TALKING TO YOU, THEY'RE STARTING TO MUCK AROUND. HE'S ALWAYS A COACH ON THE COURT. YOU KNOW, HE'S ACTUALLY A POINT GUARD, UH, YOU KNOW, A POSTMAN. YOU KNOW, HE CAN REALLY PRETTY MUCH DO IT ALL. I THINK HE'S GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A GREAT COACH. A FUTURE BREAKERS COACH? WELL, WHO KNOWS? YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. UM, IF HE WANTS TO, I GUESS THAT'S THE DECISION CONFRONTING HIM NOW IS WHAT PATH HE WANTS TO TAKE. CLINCHING ONE AS A COACH IS A REAL POSSIBILTY. Had a bit to do with the Breakers for a Sunday story. Nice bunch of blokes. And And winners. They are going for a third title in a trans-Tasman competition. Of all the photos you can find of Boucher, the Herald went for Brokeback Breakers. He looks a bit like using a Broadway show. Jazz hands. What about this idea of him coaching? We're likely to lose Lemanis soon. He is likely to get the Australian national team coaching job. Boucher is a genuinely nice bloke. I don't think you could ever do anything else apart from coach basketball. WE ALL JUST ACCEPT THIS WEEKEND IS THE END OF LONG EVENINGS OF DAYLIGHT, THANKS TO THE END OF DAYLIGHT SAVING. BUT WHY DO WE HAVE DAYLIGHT SAVING AT ALL? WELL, IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF A NZER WHO WANTED TO SPEND MORE TIME COLLECTING INSECTS. TIM WILSON HAS A BRIEF HISTORY OF THIS KIWI STICH IN TIME. (TUTS) HELLO, STUDENTS. TIME, AS THE POET STEVE MILLER ONCE OBSERVED, KEEPS ON SLIPPING, SLIPPING, SLIPPING INTO THE FUTURE. YOU'LL STOP DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME THIS WEEKEND, BUT HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW IT? PAY ATTENTION! CUCKOO! US FOUNDING FATHER BEN FRANKLIN SUGGESTED THE IDEA AS A JOKE IN 1794 ` A JOKE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY KIWI GEORGE HUDSON 100 YEARS LATER. HE LOVED COLLECTING INSECTS AND WANTED TIME AFTER WORK TO DO SO. GEORGE HUDSON AMASSED THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST INSECT COLLECTION. IT'S NOW IN TE PAPA. CUCKOO! TO CONSERVE RESOURCES AND PROVIDE MORE WORK HOURS, GERMANY ADOPTED DAYLIGHT SAVING IN WORLD WAR I. HMM. WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT WORKED OUT. 'LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY' CUCKOO! THE GLOBAL OIL CRISIS OF THE EARLY 1970S PROVED A BOON FOR DAYLIGHT SAVING, AND IT WAS WIDELY ADOPTED. CUCKOO! MOST COUNTRIES DON'T USE IT NOW, BECAUSE THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO THE EQUATOR, THE LESS WELL IT WORKS. WE USE IT FOR HALF THE YEAR. RUSSIA USES IT ALL YEAR ROUND. CUCKOO! SOME CUCKOO MYTHS: DAYLIGHT SAVING DOESN'T CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL WARMING. CUCKOO! IT DOESN'T CAUSE DROUGHTS. AND THERE'S NO STRONG EVIDENCE IT FADES CURTAINS. CUCKOO! IT'S OVER UNTIL NEXT YEAR, MEANING THAT THIS BECOMES A LOT MORE ACCURATE IF THE SUN SHINES. Devlin just said at last your clocks on your oven and microwave will show the right time for the first time in six months. COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK, I'LL WRAP UP ALL THE BIG STORIES OF THE WEEK. AND WE GO TO CHURCH TO MEET A MAN THEY'RE CALLING THE NEXT BIG THING. # WHEN I'M LONG AND GONE, # WILL I DECIDE? # IT'S ONLY BEEN A FOUR-DAY WEEK, BUT THERE'S BEEN PLENTY OF ACTION. HERE'S JESSE WITH HIS WEEKLY NEWS WRAP. YEAH, WHAT A WEEK. EASTER IS A TIME FOR MIRACLES, AND THIS EASTER WE GOT TWO OF THEM: THE WARRIORS WON A GAME OF LEAGUE, AND BRIAN TAMAKI AVOIDED LIGHTNING STRIKE TO OPEN HIS NEW MEGA-CHURCH IN SOUTH AUCKLAND. IN OTHER NEWS, PRIME MINISTER JOHN DORY, THE FORGETFUL FISH, SAID HE DIDN'T REMEMBER MAKING A PHONE CALL TO IAN FLETCHER ABOUT OUR TOP SPY JOB, EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE BEEN MATES SINCE THEY WERE KIDS. LOOK ` HERE'S A PICTURE OF THEM TOGETHER AS TEENAGERS. WE ALSO GOT TO HEAR A NEW SOUND ON WEDNESDAY, AND THAT'S THE SOUND THE PRIME MINISTER MAKES WHEN HE GETS BUSTED. HIGH-PITCHED: EH. AND TEAM NZ HEADED TO SAN FRANCISCO THIS WEEK FOR THE BARGAIN PRICE OF JUST $108M ` COINCIDENTALLY, THAT'S THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY IT'D COST GERRY BROWNLEE TO FLY THERE ON AIR SAMOA. THE PROBLEM WITH BEING THE NEXT BIG THING IS THAT STAGE YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHERE NO ONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE. MICHAEL KIWANUKA'S BEEN TAGGED AS THE VOICE TO WATCH, AND AS SARAH DANIELL FOUND, HE WON'T BE AN UNKNOWN FOR LONG. IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. WHO IS MICHAEL KIWANUKA? HI. DO YOU KNOW WHO IS MICHAEL KIWANUKA? NEVER HEARD OF HIM. NO, WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE. NO. NO. SO I DON'T KNOW. (LAUGHS) SO WHO IS HE? PERHAPS THE ANSWER LIES ELSEWHERE? # OH, WHEN I LEAVE, DON'T YOU CRY. # MICHAEL KIWANUKA IS A MUSICIAN WHO'S BEEN COMPARED TO THE LIKES OF OTIS REDDING, MARVIN GAYE AND BILL WITHERS. SO THERE IS A TOUCH OF IRONY THAT HE WAS NAMED THE BBC'S 'SOUND OF 2012' WHILST ALWAYS LIKENED TO THOSE ICONIC SOUNDS OF THE '60S. # I WON'T FADE AWAY IN TIME. # AND IT SEEMS HE NOW CARRIES A PIECE OF NZ WITH HIM EVERYWHERE. I GOT THIS IN AUSTRALIA, BUT IT'S NZ PAUA. THEY DIDN'T TRY AND CLAIM IT, DID THEY? NO, THEY STRAIGHT AWAY SA` I SAID, 'WHAT IS IT?' AND IT'S NZ. KIWANUKA GREW UP IN MUSWELL HILL, LONDON, INSPIRED BY CROSBY, STILLS, NASH AND YOUNG, AND NIRVANA. HE THOUGHT IT WASN'T COOL TO PLAY THE GUITAR TILL HE HEARD JIMI HENDRIX. I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE MUSIC. YOU KNOW, I WAS YOUNG. SO I ASSUMED ALL THESE BANDS AND ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT PLAY GUITAR WERE JUST, KIND OF, LIKE, WHITE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AND THEN JIMI HENDRIX WAS BLACK, AND I WAS LIKE, 'OH.' WHEN HIS PARENTS ESCAPED IDI AMIN'S WAR-TORN UGANDA IN THE '70S, IT SET THE STAGE FOR MICHAEL'S MUSICAL JOURNEY. SOMETIMES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT FROM ANYWHERE, YOU KNOW. LIKE, I GO BACK TO UGANDA, AND I'M UGANDAN, BUT I'M ENGLISH, YOU KNOW, SO... I DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE MUCH, SO... AND THEN WHEN YOU GO TO ENGLAND, YOU'RE KIND OF LIKE UGANDAN. WHICH HAS CULMINATED IN HIS LATEST ALBUM. # HOME AGAIN. HOME AGAIN. # HOME AGAIN IS LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF PUTTING YOURSELF FROM ANY SPECIFIC COUNTRY OR PLACE OR TIME. I DON'T REALLY VALUE THAT AS MUCH AS I USED TO JUST COS I THINK IT CAN TIE YOU DOWN. REALLY, LIKE, 'HOME AGAIN', THAT SONG IS ABOUT FEELING, LIKE, GOOD WITHIN YOURSELF, YOU KNOW. # LOOK BEHIND, MOVING ON. # AND SOMETHING ELSE FOR MICHAEL TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT. DO YOU KNOW WHO MICHAEL KIWANUKA IS? YEAH, I DO. OH, YOU DO? (LAUGHS) YEAH. ALL RIGHT. HIGH FIVE, BROTHER. (LAUGHS) Russell Brand hair AND YOU CAN SEE MICHAEL'S FULL PERFORMANCE ON OUR WEBSITE SEVENSHARP.CO.NZ. PLUS ` HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WE TRIPPED OVER THIS AFTERNOON ON YOUTUBE ` KIWI SONGSTRESS GIN WIGMORE ON THE ELLEN SHOW. GIN WIGMORE'S 'BLACK SHEEP' # OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH. # I GOT LOTS OF JEALOUS LOVERS THAT ALL WISH THEY HAD ME BACK. # GOT A PISTOL FOR A MOUTH. MY OLD MAMMA GAVE ME THAT. # MAKING MY OWN ROAD OUT OF GRAVEL AND SOME WINE. # IF I HAVE TO FALL, THEN IT WON'T BE IN YOUR LINE. # EVERYBODY'S DOING IT, SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD I? # EVERYBODY'S DOING IT # SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD I? Greg and I watch Ellen every day while Ali does the work. Greg's amazing fact. Best of luck to the Breakers. And, Greg, the font of all information. It is called a swansong because when a swan dies, makes a pretty sound. (CROAKS) CAPTIONS BY RICHARD EDMUNDS AND FINN SCOTT-KELLY. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
