Walk tall (Sane Ground Version, Edited) Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye All through the years that I grew up, ma taught these things to me But I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see I ignored the things she said as if I'd never heard Now I see and understand the wisdom of her words Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye Interlude in dub I started goin' places where the youngsters gathered loud ‘n‘ raw I got to know the kind of girls everybody needs to know I fell in with a good crowd and laughed and drank with them Through the laughter mama's words would echo now and then Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye I got in trouble yes with Babylon and I'm in prison now Through these prison bars I see the world, and know they ain’t right I've got one year left to serve and when my time is done I'll walk tall and straight and make ma proud call me a son Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye

Verse: Could you shoot me down, 'cause my heads up in the clouds, And if it gets too loud, put on a front and drown it out, We feel like solid gold, you can taste it in the air, 'Cause we're too naive to give a damn what we're told Chorus: Head out, taking it cool, With your neck wound out to the ceiling, Still up making new friends, But you got no plans to keep them INSTRUMENTAL Verse: Are we out of line, is it something that I said? 'Cause I'm feelin' fine, the situations been misread, You couldn't put us in the corner, Try and test your luck, but don't say I didn't warn ya, Said you was a ***** but I didn't think you caught that, 'Cause we're too naive to give a damn what we're told Chorus: Head out, taking it cool, With your neck wound out to the ceiling, Still up making new friends, But you got no plans to keep them INSTRUMENTAL Bridge: I know that the feelin' is mutual, I feel like we've been here before, And I know that the feelin' is mutual, I don't know what we do this all for I know that the feelin' is mutual, And I feel like we've been here before, I know that the feelin' is mutual, I don't know what we do this all for

Instrumental "Their is no such thing as time, it does not exist. Space is so big that it expands into its self, therefore is infinite. My tracks will take you on a journey that you will never return from. For me, their is no start, just an end that is closer than you think it is. If you think my music can not get any better, you need to watch this space. Love peace music."

Lyrics: Jess Silk I step into the ocean, let the waves crash o’er my head I’m not certain I’ll be home for you to see me safe to bed ‘Cause there are monsters in this world and some are not swayed by the light But there’s a ghost that watches over me from the moon in the sky at night At night oooohhhh The sky at night oooohhhh Walking shoeless through the fields I catch my foot and slowly fall And I wipe my bloody heels upon the mat outside your door As you offer me a life raft so I might float upon the waves And a place to rest my head and dream a while until I wake Until I wake oooohhhh Until I wake oooohhhh You say that you’re forever sat beside your little lake And your hand it is my tether when they come for me to take You say to hold on tight but in the end I let you go And you are taken by the night but to where I do not know I do not know oooohhhh I do not know oooohhhh I step into the ocean, let the waves crash o’er my head I’m not certain I’ll be home for you to see me safe to bed ‘Cause there are monsters in this world and some are not swayed by the light But you’re still watching over me from the moon in the sky at night At night oooohhhh The sky at night oooohhhh

I wanna move with the seasons Go with the flow Take it easy And let stuff go I wanna sleep like a baby And rise with the sun Kick it all back And get nothing done Wanna make this day The longest day With a warmth that Delivers happiness If only for today I wanna be The girl who got away The lover who really loved The dancer who danced To the last song Don't wanna take sides Don't wanna make sense Of pounds and pence I want to be alone Don't want hide Don't want to be talked over Or walked upon I want to think the heart is bigger than the head Wanna follow you but not be led If only for today I wanna be The girl who got away The lover who really loved The dancer who danced To the last song I know what it's like To be passed over To go unnoticed To be clumsy get things wrong And I know what it's like To arrive too late To be told to leave To be walked upon If only for today I wanna be The girl who got away The lover who really loved The dancer who danced To the last song If only for today I wanna be The girl who got away The lover who really loved The dancer who danced To the last song

For the way you screw your nose up when your mad. For the lakes of fire in your eyes when you laugh. For the way you've picked yourself up from life's cold and angry floor. chorus I'll miss you before you've even closed the door! For the way you always have a smile to lend. For the pride I feel that I can call you friend. For a moment watch this soul shine, because it needs you to be sure. that I miss you before you even close the door. For the way you watch your child when he's asleep, the way you hang on every last tiny heartbeat, The way that you see things like I see. With a good heart, warm and pure. I miss you before you even close the door. For the tears we've shared and the darkness we've come through. For your soft warm soul and the way you dig the blues. I don't often show these feelings, these are just words but they are true. Its just my life's a better place for knowing you. Its just my life's a better place for knowing you, its just my life's a better place for knowing you!!

Space travel, oh wow you're far out Ocean exploration, how deep do you go? Late nights, tell me all about it Said the thing about time, It's a fountain And honey I'm just not counting I keep my head held high No one wants to be alone Even when the well runs dry I keep my head above the water And with my spirits high You know I could be that guy tonight I keep my head above the water I keep my head above the water Forgotten cities, oh how many have you lost? Countless wars, oh how many have you won? Past lives, dreamt all about it, Said the thing about love, It's a fountain And honey I'm sinking, drowning I keep my head held high No one wants to be alone Even when the well runs dry I keep my head above the water And with my spirits high You know I could be that guy tonight I keep my head above the water I keep my head above the water I keep my head held high No one wants to be alone Even when the well runs dry I keep my head above the water (yeah) And with my spirits high No one wants to be alone Even when the well runs dry I keep my head above the water

I am not your gallow dancer I won’t be hanging around In my head you’ve got me walking the plank Prefer my feet firmly on the ground The tick tock of the dreaded clock Man I feel like caption hook You shook your head, tutted then said More like the boy who wouldn’t grow up But I can’t please everyone I’m being pulled in a million directions And I’m just about holding on You came in all guns blazing And took a pot shot But was I searching for the holy grail Or competing for the cup You said that everything’s a joke to me And that enough is enough Well you shouldn’t take yourself so seriously Tough crowd, well lighten up But I can’t please everyone I’m being pulled in a million directions And I’m just about holding on Try as I might I haven’t got the strength to bring myself to fight I don’t know what I’ll do, if there’s no room In the last chance saloon One day I’ll make my great escape And leave no mans lands behind It always feels as if I’m in the wrong place, at the wrong time… am I wrong? But I can’t please everyone I’m being pulled in a million directions And I’m just about holding on

Tyger Tyger Tyger, Tyger keep burning bright, in the forests of this, this bitter night. Tyger, Tyger talk to me. Open up your heart, your soul, runs free. Tyger, Tyger, how you've earned your stripes. Tyger, Tyger Tyger, Tyger, how you've earned your stripes. Tyger, Tyger Give to me your poisoned paw. I'll ease the pain, those thorns withdraw. Those toxins slow, surely subside. You hold your head so high, with grace, with pride. Tyger, Tyger, how you've earned your stripes. Tyger, Tyger Tyger, Tyger, how you've earned your stripes. Tyger, Tyger The darkness runs. The darkness reigns. The darkness steals from you, it hurts and stains. The darkness runs, brings only pain. The darkness runs, don't run in vain. Tyger, Tyger, how you've earned your stripes. Tyger, Tyger Tyger, Tyger, how you've earned your stripes. Tyger, Tyger When the stars threw down their spears. And water'd heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see ? Did he who made the lamb make thee ? Tyger, Tyger, how you've earned your stripes. Tyger, Tyger Tyger, Tyger, how you've earned your stripes. Tyger, Tyger

about

PARENTAL WARNING: Contains explicit lyrics

Volume 1 is a CONCEPT album, based on the life story of 'The Guy' in Val Doonicans WALK TALL song (Val Valsson) 🤣

It's an album of 2 halves ...

'Val' grows up, ends up partying, and then get's arrested by Babylon and goes in jail.
- Songs like 'gallow dancer' reflect this dark period
Then he comes out of prison and makes his ma proud to call him a son ! He probably became a musician & fundraiser ? 🙂

That's it really, a whole life story in 30 tracks ...
