Surrounded 03:22
Surrounded I got the buildings consuming me Does it look like I care? Got me paranoid I’m a weirdo Condomania everywhere you need We’re aloud to care less Who’s gonna wash them away? And clean up the crazy mess Then its like we’re surrounded By a state of mind that’s confounded Live in the sky to see horizons But we cannot fly high enough around them Identity you’re away from me Your apartment’s the best Yet you’re joined at the seams Above and below your head Conned out of your dough Like fools in love Although it could be said The effects of the city Are running into my head And then its like we’re surrounded By a state of mind that’s confounded Live in the sky to see horizons But we cannot fly high enough around them Convinced it’s something you need As it fills the more it seems Ya dreaming It not so bad if you’re high Above it all, who can deny Ya dreaming And then its like we’re surrounded By a state of mind that’s confounded Live in the sky to see horizons But we cannot fly high enough around them

Feed 03:50
Feed So now we’re spending time apart For the better they say What do they know anyway? One catching the sun The other getting the cold Act like there nothing wrong And this time has come around So I reach for the rope But there’s nothing to hold You feed me before I go And I’ll smoke them cigarettes To fill the space inside my chest You feed me before I know Time to consider it Hoping that it ‘aint the end We both have something to do Yet can’t justify the dream While we’re in between So I’ll keep tuning my strings And they’ll be fretfulness Depends how quick we can forget You feed me before I go And I’ll smoke them cigarettes To fill the space inside my chest You feed me before I know Time to consider it Hoping that it ‘aint the end Feeding Breaking Starving Healing You feed me before I go And I’ll smoke them cigarettes To fill the space inside my chest You feed me before I know Time to consider it Hoping that it ‘aint the end

Your Fix 03:48
Your Fix Would you believe it? I’ll travel you right into the sun Would you believe it? I’ll fire you right out of a gun I can see it kilometers away Ants in their holes Melbourne from space I can see it being ten times the fun Twenty times the speed A hundred more than one Would you believe it? I’m afraid of losing it all Crying with laughter Coz ya seen it and heard it all before I can see it kilometers away Ants in their holes Melbourne from space I can see it being ten times the fun Twenty times the speed A hundred more than one You can’t really fix a magician They tell ya what to believe Now you’re that dude from that thing Right in the kisser Right on my screen Would you believe? I’ll travel you into the sun Would you believe? I’ll fire you out of a gun I see me, afraid of losing it all Crying with laughter Ya heard it all before Ya heard it all before So get it again You can’t really fix a magician They tell ya what to believe Now you’re that dude from that thing Right in the kisser Right on my screen

Happy 03:06
Happy You’ve been hiding Something you haven’t told Kept the secret Or it will blow it all away And I don’t mind Pull the wool over my eyes Keeping everything insane If it all goes pear shaped Who’ll be leaving you crying? Back to the recess of my mind I’ll push it away, again And I don’t mind Pull the wool over my eyes Keeping everything insane I think I’m too polite to say That I wanna be the better man I wanna live without the shame And what if I was gonna die today Would I be happy? Happy Back to the recess of my mind I’ll push it away, again I think I’m too polite to say That I wanna be the better man I wanna live without the shame And what if I was gonna die today Would I be Outside pressure Builds forever Focusing the light Can’t escape it Sick of faking No one’s fault but mine I think I’m too polite to say That I wanna be the better man I wanna live without the shame And what if I was gonna die today Would I be happy?

Leaves 04:06
Leaves Never want to watch the time Coz it’s gone, it rolls on Always think you’re out of sight But that’s wrong, and ya know so And there’s nothing there but grey And we didn’t see it coming Still the dark, holding day Leaves when we’re not looking When you’re there we are so real One another, we hold on Need to colour the things we feel Bring together to console And there’s nothing there but grey And we didn’t see it coming Still the dark, holding day Leaves when we’re not looking Well now it’s not the same You’ve given us a shiver Well now you’ve gone away And I wanna hear ya brother What else is there to say? Hyland Hear the call Feel the fall Back to norm Hear the call, it might just tell ya something Feel the fall, and end up left with nothing Back to norm, luck can’t last forever x2 Hear the call – tell ya something Feel the fall – left with nothing Back to norm – luck ‘aint forever Take the call Well now it’s not the same You’ve given us a shiver Well now you’ve gone away And I wanna hear ya brother What else is there to say? Hyland

The Flag 04:26
The Flag Feeling the floating Bob around between the flags Saving my breath for the time being It's like I'm drifting With stuff I need to stay on course Nobody with me for the ride But there's a light on the shore Singing Come home, boy Invisible I am 'till I make my choice Broke me a line today Or I let out all the slack Nobody knows where I am anymore Everybody's waving their own flag Fixing the feeling Day to day the seasons change Send me a message through the vibe in the sky It's underwhelming Alone at night but it's all right I'm slipping sideways on time But there's a light on the shore Singing Come home, boy Invisible I am 'till I make my choice Broke me a line today Or I let out all the slack Nobody knows where I am anymore Everybody's waving their own flag Taking it endlessly For the truth of the heart Invisible I am 'Till I prove my love Broke me a line today Or I let out all the slack Nobody knows where I am anymore Everybody's waving their own flag

Mr Nice 03:37
Mr Nice I can try to stay nice For when you see me Haven’t I always tried? I think you like me But maybe I should start a fight? It’s likely you’ll get punched in the eye The problem is you’ve kept me inside Watch me change Mr Nice Guy Mental case, I could be Walking beside you Flip about, watch me turn A multi-colour rainbow Sometimes I’m just not right inside Sometimes I’m just Mr Nice Shaking on the inside Don’t piss off Mr Nice Guy I guess I’ll try and play nice For when you see me Haven’t I always tried? Believe me At least I tried to make you like me But you automatically resist a friend Next time I’ll try to think twice Sometimes I’m just not right inside Sometimes I’m just Mr Nice Shaking on the inside Don’t piss off Mr Nice Guy I guess I’ll try to think twice

Seagull 03:10
Seagull It’s coming on, Humongous waves I hear the rattle Sounds the same Not as simple It might have been How disappointed You’re the same Just so you can go figure it out We hanging around? Hanging around Just so you can go Go and figure it out It’s a seagull feeding frenzy Flying out your mouth It festers there This gross disease You’re cherry picking, to paint the scene Damage something You can’t repair I’m disappointed You’re all millionaires And I crave your reaction Don’t want to offend Overflowing with deception Taste it in the wind And I’ll tell you when Deception in the end It’s forming now Your enemy It’s raining down You want to hang around? Just so you can go and figure it out We hanging around? Hanging around Just so you can go Go and figure it out It’s a seagull feeding frenzy Flying out your mouth

Here & There 04:15
Here & There There is a place Cannot erase In the heart We went there together There is a time A moment somewhere Again, we stitch them together Even when we’re upside down Even when it’s now and then Even when we’re inside out Even when we’re here and there You are the same And I am aware My friend Nothing is typical And I’ll never know everyone that you’ll know In the stars Or down in the gutter Even when we’re upside down Even when its now and then Even when we’re inside out Even when we’re here and there You know the ship has sailed Across the muddy water (No) You know I’m never gonna weigh you down You know it’s gonna be a while before I see ya Again Here are we now

All Your Tales She said forget About my day Not sure I’ve ever Made her cake She lives happy Can’t complain Wrapping gifts in Smiles and waves Tell me all your tales Without me asking Remember the details I’ll probably miss them Apples don’t fall Far from the tree The sun shines on October dreams It’s clear I fear We’re quite the same I paint pictures Within your frame Tell me all your tales Without me asking Remember the details I’ll probably miss them Our Mum

about

Different Sides delivers ten spine tingling alternative rock gems that effortlessly aligns itself with the international masters of the genre. The textured guitars, hooky bass lines, and vocal arrangements cut to the core with a confessional feeling, weaving stories about living abroad, distance relationships, and cultural viewpoints.
