"LITTLE EPIPHANIES" LYRICS

ALL YOUR PROMISES

They feel meaningless

All that stress

I need to go

Far away from you

Where I start anew

Where my mind can heal

From how you made me feel

Not knowing what is real

No more

I have brekkie with Becky

And maybe I can be healed

I’m growing into something

Something new that I like more

We had good times too

And not just a few

Love and laughter

Night and day

Just me and you

All your promises

They feel meaningless

All that stress

I need to go

Far away from you

Where I start anew

Where my mind can heal

From how you made me feel

Not knowing what is real

No more

MAKING MEMORIES

the party’s going on

but we get on

our bikes

for a long ride

from karrinyup to kings park

cuz tonight

there’s fireworks not in me

but outside

what you want

is not what you need

cuz what you need is

what’s happening right now

and there is beauty all around us

but it might take time to reveal

look for good not bad

and you will be glad

all those memories

priceless

riding on a path

we’ve never been

through a place

we’ve never seen

a different world

right next to the highway

where no one else is

wandering this day

what you want

is not what you need

cuz what you need is

what’s happening right now

and there is beauty all around us

but it might take time to reveal

look for good not bad

and you will be glad

all those memories

priceless

every minute every hour

seems mundane but it is not

every minute every hour

making memories

every minute every hour

seems mundane but it is not

every minute every hour

making memories

MAKE INDIE POP GREAT AGAIN

indie pop

it is joy, empathy, warmth and fun

imperfection, respect, dorky, weird and

quite unique, like you and everyone

all the good songs may only be good to you

all the great songs may just be great to you

all the bad songs may only be bad to you

there is no need to hate just skip a tune

you don‘t like a song?

then just move on with your life

don't hate all the things

you don't understand

when everything was

so much better in the past

maybe you‘re like me

selective/fading memory

all the good songs may only be good to you

all the great songs may just be great to you

all the bad songs may only be bad to you

there is no need to hate just skip a tune

indie pop is not great but it is good (so good)

it is not perfect but somehow it is

indie pop is not great it was never (ever)

it is not great it is something better

THE KIND HILLS

our secret haven

the kind hills

calm rolling green fields

and a tranquillity that appeals

and place where she winds down and feels

no sorrows

no scrolling through a feed

we lock away all rage

sadness and doubts and greed

we have some books to read instead

go for a walk to clear the head

a short time-out

from life

the kind hills

your secret hideaway

where you re-charge when everything’s grey

no sorrows

no scrolling through a feed

we lock away all rage

sadness and doubts and greed

we have some books to read instead

go for a walk to clear the head

a short time-out

from life

I LOVE PERTH

Everyone is carrying on in this house
Afraid to move back there, I can't even watch
The things you do and the people you know

A groovy scene in Australia, I will move
Take my surfboard, maybe I'll groove
Noise addicts and other folks, oh yeah

Our hearts were blanketed with it all
And then I took off the blanket and saw
The pretty shawl you bought for me

You're gorgeous, I'm pretty handsome too
We make a pair, me and you
Me and you forever on and on and on and on
Me and you forever, ever on

IMPOSTOR SYNDROME

you arrived knocking at my door
Like an old friend you've come back for more
I haven't seen you all day but now you're here
Stopping me from stepping into the unknown

You whisper doubts in my ear
While all my courage disappears
Oh no

But it's okay
I'll find my way
As long as you are my light of day
Where comfort whispers by my side
everything's gonna be alright
alright

In the quiet of night you steal my sleep
Reminding me of secrets that
I can't keep

You weave your lies so sincere
And all my confidence turns to tears

But it's okay
I'll find my way
As long as you are my light of day
Where comfort whispers by my side
everything's gonna be alright
alright

It’s okay
In the light of day
By my side
Everything’s gonna be alright
Alright

DANCE, DANCE, DANCE

I was learning, through the whole night

now i'm tired but i'm feeling dynamite

right until i find out i failed the exam

did i spend, my time right?

whatever i do i do it wrong

give me one more chance

dance dance dance every night, everyday

like there's no tomorrow

dance dance dance ever night

and forget all the pain and sorrow

dance dance dance….

and i work hard, and i mean well

and everyday i start being full of hope

but eventually the day turns into hell

but i smile, and i cope

when i feel lost and nothing’s quite right

i just need some light

dance dance dance every night, everyday

like there's no tomorrow

dance dance dance ever night

and forget all the pain and sorrow

dance dance dance….

at the end of every day

i go dancing and everything is okay

dance dance dance every night, everyday

like there's no tomorrow

dance dance dance ever night

and forget all the pain and sorrow

dance dance dance….

BEER 0'CLOCK

done with breakfast, kitchen all clean

next up comes personal hygiene

feed the cat and vacuum my place

check emails i haven't for days

then I'm done with everything

I'm starting to feel bored and i sing

what time is it?

now - it is beer o clock

it is beer o clock

time to live again

today's party will be so cool

friends jumping from roof to the pool

i told them to come here at 2

until then what I’m gonna do

it’s eleven i feel grim

my roomate’s here so i ask him

what time is it?

now - it is beer o clock

it is beer o clock

time to live again

somewhere i hope there is someone just like me / us

Time to let go (was long ago)

featuring icarus phoenix

Every day is about you so what can I do?

If you're blind and can't see what you have with me

I don't wanna hold on to dreams that might be

I don't wanna go on if it's time to be free

There is no time I've let you down I'm there when you need

But it feels so one sided and getting heavy

I don't wanna hold on to dreams that might be

I don't wanna go on if it's time to be free

tastefully we drown from blue to black we sparkle out

pebbled hints become miscarried hearts from which we run

I understand we all go through times we are in need

But your time is all the time and I might as well leave

I understand we all go through times we are in need

But your time is all the time and I might as well leave

I know you mean well but you're lost inside

A labyrinth neglecting anyone outside your mind

I don't wanna hold on to dreams that might be

I don't wanna go on if it's time to be free

SEASIDE

I’m at the seaside

A beautiful view

Salt in the air and

The water bright blue

I’m at the seaside

My eyes on the phone

Flipping through products

I should maybe own

I’m always looking at my telephone

Life without it is monotone, it is

I miss beauty

Things around me

& my own life too

After I wake up

I stare at my phone

So many friends there

I’m never alone

I’m always looking at my telephone

Life without it is monotone

Life without it is, unknown

MAN FLU

trying to

solve it all

by myself but I am failing

without you

got so many problems always on my mind

and the world just takes advantage when I’m kind

anytime

anyplace

I am tumbling through my life

without no grace

I’m just running anywhere

running circles in despair

I’m not getting anywhere

alone

all the worries that keep me awake at night

all the many feelings that I keep inside

anytime

anyplace

I am tumbling through my life

without no grace

I’m just running anywhere

running circles in despair

I’m not getting anywhere

alone

I just wanna have a strong

woman next to me that’s all

I need a strong woman

next to me

she will force me to grow up

she will stand up for me

and we will be a team like in a dream

my strong women next to me

she will make me stronger still

nothing we couldn’t possibly do

THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DUMB

riding north to see another gig or two
together me and you
can’t remember all the tunes we heard and sang
practising Aussie slang

i was the driver and you were the dj
we told each other old stories from far away
far away
far way

can you remember how we used to feel
in the town where it never rains
feelings and music were much more intense
it was all freedom and no chains
we were young and we were
dumb just the right amount

humming jebediah on the way back home
to the budget hotel
low on life experience but very high
we were on confidence

can you remember how we used to feel
in the town where it never rains
feelings and music were much more intense
it was all freedom and no chains
we were young and we were
dumb just the right amount

all the stupid things we did we did them as a team
every moment worth a million bucks life was a dream
far away
far away
far away
far away

can you remember our first kiss right there
at the pool of the old hotel
you were the center of my universe
and the future a bright stairwell
we were young and we were
dumb just the right amount

I NEED A HOLIDAY

she works too much

every night late

when she comes home

I say ‘I already ate’

I try to help

keep the home clean

but then I always

fail cuz I am not keen

I need a holiday

not quite soon but right away

right now, right now

gonna go, right now

holiday

I need a holiday

not quite soon but right away

right now, right now

gonna go, right now

hideaway

I need a holiday

not quite soon but right away

right now, right now

gonna go, right now

holiday

I need a holiday

not quite soon but right away

right now, right now

gonna go, right now

hideaway

finally responsibilities they wash away

chilling at the beach with cabernet

I try to call

can’t find food at all

washing machine

seems broke, where is my football?

I need my holiday

at the beach with cabernet

right now, right now

where I am, right now

holiday

VEGEMITE

I don’t understand
I don’t understand
half the things you say
I do it my way

I don’t understand

why you say it’s wrong

this is just my way

I don’t feel alright

maybe you were right

I ate way too much

vegemite

I needed the salt

this isn’t my fault

bite after bite

vegemite

do do do do do do do

do do do do do do

do do do do do do do

do do do do do do

do do do do do do do

do do do do do do

so maybe this time you were right

but next time probably I might

I don’t understand

why you’re mad at me

when I drink VB

I don’t understand

I am barely drunk

just give me a hand

I don’t feel alright

maybe you were right

I ate way too much

vegemite
