Crowded House - Either Side Of The World Lyrics






Either side of the world
Chase the sun
Pay the maximum rate
To feel so lonesome
Wrapped up like little lambs
Safe from harm
Enjoy it while you can
Happiness is far from home

You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They’re happy to give you
The last resort

Where the famous have come
To be alone
Try to work it out
The same progression
Sometimes I try too hard
To overcome
Sometimes I think too much
Wish I could’ve held my tongue

You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
You turn yourself into
And then you’re in Hell

Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
We like it different
Passion and commitment
Commitment

Wish I could’ve held my tongue

You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They’re happy to give you
When you’re in hell

Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
We like it different
Passion and commitment

Crowded House Either Side Of The World Comments
  1. P.... E....

    That is a masterpiece...

  2. K.... S....

    Very beautiful, both the music and the video. A simple video, with old images, very nice to see. Nostalgic.
    When I close my eyes and just hear the music, I find it very relaxing. It seems to calm down. It seems like we are in a place like at the edge of a pool, with people who enjoy themselves. A time when everything seems peaceful. People having fun, joking a little, laughing, drinking a little, some dating, friends playing. Music does this to me. Music has the power to carry me, to create in my mind a world, a place, a moment in which I have lived, or would like to have lived, or to be living.

  3. d.... ....

    Neil's wife is one lucky woman for real. <3

    d.... ....

    Was is and will always be the only man I'd ever 'turn' for

  4. C.... D....

    Amazing song, wish they made a few more in this style. ;)

  5. y.... ....

    "Don't stampede to the clitoris" funny, cos an ex told me the exact same thing many many years back . sticks in the mind those things

  6. M.... S....

    Anyone slagging this song hasn't got a clue about songwriting .......

  7. M.... S....

    Such amazing song writers , the construction !!! I'm glad I'm 42 and not 12, poor little mites , listening to pop tripe

    M.... S....

    Mike Service I'm 14 and definitely enjoying most types of anything, only in the 21st century can you listen to so many different eras and genres whenever you feel like it. Being young doesn't really mean anything if you know where to look and you know what you like.

  8. J.... T....

    such a great song guys!! been a crowded house fan for years and only discovered this yesterday and it is awesome!!!!

  9. H.... L....

    nice mellow tune. good job guys

  10. f.... ....

    Lovely song. Terrorfrying 'Tache.

  11. b.... ....

    Either Side Of The World is certainly most abordable song on Intriguer

  12. P.... ....

  17. Y.... ....

    Neil Finn g., voc., ur. 27.05.1958 r. świętuje swoje urodziny 100 lar i wszystkiego najlepszego drogi, mi bardzo drogi jubilacie !.

  18. J.... D....

    Was this shot in Movember?

  19. P.... ....

    I like the mustache

  20. M.... ....

    Thanks for still making perfect music

  21. K.... T....

    Who are you? I'm the only the person other than my mum that listens to Nilsson Schmillson... ? Thank you for being awesome :)

  22. D.... ....

    I think this song is beautiful and just what i needed to wake up to playing on RAGE at a light volume on an old television hungover at 3am. It just soothed me back into sleep an eased my anxiety.

  23. j.... ....

    the coolest opening..glad they kept..the song is a lil boring at first, but then it really grows on you...the chicks on the video do not hurt either..

  24. K.... D....

    Well when a great stop being at their peak, you don't run after the past, you bask in it and keep it shining. That comeback album'Time On Earth'is deadly dull, I'm not ashamed to say it, I own the flipping thing and its put me off getting 'Intriguer', so that's their fault, not mine. Plus as I big up their first four albums, why should I feel guilty? That's four cool albums in one lifetime, whereupon most groups and singers can't even manage one! I remember them fondly as they were.

  25. S.... ....

    hey myster distent...your distant sun...is it the thing that you are running after?

    Imo they are a quality band even today... i am not a big fan of their early records... i mean apart of a few songs... i vote for their 90s records...they were at their best at that time

  26. K.... D....

    Their first four albums were perfect and full of wicked tunes, sung brilliantly and the songwriting was ace. Sadly since their last great song 'Instinct' from their greatest hits, and a few tunes from their outakes album 'Afterglow' they've gotten really dull, and while they'll always be a few high points on the albums they do, once upon a time their albums were just ace. Sometimes people lose it, and Paul Hester's passing put the wheels of safe decline in motion. Charming people but group gone.

  27. J.... P....

    They've evolved and matured. Everyone has to grow up sometime. Every song I have ever heard by Crowded House has it's own personality. Most bands/artist fail to produce music that can speak for itself and Neil Finn has an incredible ability to do so. You know what happens to artists who don't evolve? They end up on reality television or sell out. Crowded House produces music they love. Which is why I love them.

    J.... P....

    Josh Powers I agree, people would moan if Neil just kept rewriting carbon copies of Together Alone anyway

    J.... P....

    Couldn't have expressed it better, Josh.

  28. r.... r....

    again, i reiterate, at 2:50, Neil and Sharon are a lot like me and Gary (okay, no kids here), starting before us by about seven years. more power to them!! it always amazing me when celebraties keep on keeping on with their spouses, no matter what. Neil and Sharon have proved that, and more so!! <3 <3 <3

  29. r.... r....

    Well, then I guess I'm wrong about you having never seen them. And since I never saw them in the 90s, I can't compare to what the experience was like back then. But I just can't agree with your assessment of their shows now. The one I saw was amazing and energetic, and the banter between the musicians themselves, and with the audience, was hilarious! I'll say that Neil's writing is different (Intriguer, for example), but it's still very talented. Agree to disagree, right? :-)

  30. c.... ....

    Actually, you're wrong. Imagine that. I've seen them live many times and have all their albums. After Together Alone and Recurring Dream the quality of songwriting has diminished. After the Farewell Tour the drummer died. Now the live show is low energy and lacking humor, something I thought I'd never see. Thus, they are weak. Nothing like they were in the 90's.

    c.... ....

    To the extent that was actually ever true it was short-lived, as those of us who were fortunate to attend their anniversary gig at the Opera House in 2016 can attest.

  31. r.... r....

    and there it is, true love at 2:50! it makes me so happy that they mated for life, just like me and my hubby!! LOL

  32. r.... r....

    really? weak and hollow?? i saw them 2 years ago, and they were strong and incredible! Neil Finn, Crowded House, and Split Enz are the total opposite of weak and hollow. i'd love to know how you came to this conclusion. Probably in a totally uneducated way (in other words, you've never seen them live,. or else, you're a total troll to this page.

  33. c.... ....

    They've become so weak and hollow

  34. r.... r....

    thank you, i love the 'stache!! wish he still had it!! thankfully he still had it during his show in Austin, TX 2010, and damn it was sexy and cute!! and this is coming from a girl who first saw him as a baby-faced kid on Solid Gold in 1980 (i was 12 at the time LOL) keep the 'stache, Neil!!!!

  35. r.... r....

    they are still a great band, no shadows. they may be a bit different, but they are by no means a shadow of their former selves. sure, they have a new line-up, but Matt Sherrad is awesome, Mark Hart (a Supertramp veteran) is an incredible keyboardist, vocalist, and guitarist!! i met Neil, and the rest of the band in Austin, TX 2010, and they are still amazing and perfect, imo. hope they come to Houston or the Woodlands Pavillion sometime soon! LOVE you guys!! xoxoxoxo

  36. r.... r....

    why?? i liked the moustache!!! he had it at the Austin show in 2010 and it was beautiful! Neil even made fun of it and Nick's, as if they were challenging each other. I think both are sexy with them!

  37. G.... ....

    New material from The House is always welcome. Liked the quote from MP's Meaning of Life at the beginning....No need to stampede toward the clitoris!

  38. M.... (....

    I adore Crowded House and Neil Finn but my friend really hit the nail on the head when he heard it and said "it sounds like a Barry Manilow tune." I reluctantly agreed.

  39. A.... S....

    I think I saw Neil Finn's wife at one place. That stinks!!!

  40. m.... ....

    wow Neil could make a song about pancakes and make it sound good.. dunno how he does it....

    m.... ....

    mysterybat35 he could probably make his shopping list poetic lol

  41. T.... ....

    neil, you are the one of the best writesinger... ever!

  42. J.... ....

    heard this in a show and could not get it out of my head.:-)

  43. w.... ....

    great song from a bloody good album.

  44. G.... K....

    Although I've begun to like this song more and more

  45. i.... ....

    @sally65356 No! That's what separates new Neil from old Neil!

  46. H.... ....

    What a great music video . . . so glad it's finally posted on You Tube and we can share it. Always makes me smile and what about those eyes!!! Crowded House please come back to Victoria soon.

  47. w.... ....

    Love the videos of Neil and Sharon dancing together. Committment... Committment! Loving it.

  48. R.... R....

    Aww, the mustache is cute, leave him alone

  49. S.... ....

    1 person out there hates themself

  50. M.... P....

    I really love this song! So enjoyed seeing you all in Victoria BC last year. You were so lucky to see Orcas on the ferry!! Please come back to our beautiful Island!!!

    P.S. I thought the mustache was a fun change....why not. Ppl need to simmer the right down!!

  51. f.... ....

    @beaglehowl IMHO the record label killed the album by failing to support & promote it and by ignoring questions people emailed asking about it

  52. B.... ....

    neil, nick leave the facial hair 2 matt lol

  53. b.... ....

    The moustache that killed an album. And it's a good one...

  54. s.... ....

    LOVE IT ♥¤*°.¸¸.•´¯`♥♥¤*°.¸¸.•´¯`♥ ♥

  55. l.... ....

    Don't stampede to the clitoris............

  56. S.... ....

    I love Neil's shrubbery aka stache...but then again it does make him look like a cheesy lounge singer at times not just in this video as he intended...but I say go for it Neil! Keep it!

  57. l.... ....

    1:06 - that blond kid has some seriously good dance moves

  58. s.... ....

    please neil, get rid of that mustache!

  59. C.... ....

    In the UK this great song was rejected by the BBC so it isn't getting any of the exposure it deserves on UK radio. If you love this video, share it, pass it onto your frenz, let everyone see what a great and innovative band Crowded House are. BTW well done those fans who got into the video.

  60. f.... ....

    How come I've been told this does'nt work in The USA thu? I thought Youtube was worldwide? have UMG done it again?

  61. f.... ....

    How good is it to finally have this clip on youtube!
    suppose to be the 2nd single that was suppose to be out on the 13th Septmeber,not heard another word about that thu
