Mad World Tears for Fears All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles, it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Mad world Mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday, happy birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson? Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles, it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Mad world Mad world And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Halargian world Mad world Songwriters: Orzabal Roland

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

June- Brightr Days Not a cloud in the sky, But I stay inside and I hide away from the light She said be ok well sometimes just alright, But ok is just alright “And we hope for brighter days” Carpe diem cease the day, When your world is stretched out a plain When there is nothing real to say, Well not with words anyway “And we hope for brighter days”

Shine On You Crazy Bar-Steward (Lyrics: S.Doonican - Music: R.Waters / R.Wright / D.Gilmour) Remember when it was fun, we were Bar-Steward Sons… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward But your sudden goodbye tore a hole in the sky… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward You were caught in the cross fire of knit-wear and good times - And it brought you right down to your knees I thought you were kidding… you had to be joking… Now don’t be a stranger, you long-lost half-brother of mine! And then you didn’t want to hang around on the dark side of town… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward Brave face every night, but exposed in stage lights… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward Well you hung up your tank-top with random precision - Be careful you don’t want to freeze You washed off the greasepaint, you made your decision, and turned off the showman, just as it was our turn to shine! Nobody knows where you are... how near or how far… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward It doesn’t feel like it should – Two out of three ain’t as good… Shine on you crazy Bar-Steward And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph and exhale that icy cold breeze No-one’s a winner… we all end as losers - Last orders are here, take your glass to the bar ‘cause it’s time credits Originally from The Dark Side Of The Tarn (2011), released June 18, 2011 Scott Doonican: Vocals and ukulele

CHORUS Pyrrhula Pyrrhula, Pyrrhula Pyrrhula. He's picking and pecking and hopping and dancing right there in the arms of the skeleton tree. You find him, you lose him, you never did choose him, freedom's a thing that he wanted to be. There's a fire in the trees, you're caught on a breeze, he eyes death, defies death, he takes what he needs. There's a price on his head, he flashes red flag and you cannot move you will not see him dead. CHORUS The trees are in bloom, he whistles his tune, you watch as your crop wanes away like the moon. How can it be wrong when your heart sings his song. You sing it, he wings it, he's where he belongs. CHORUS. The twists that he makes and the turns that he takes show a closely knit weave he will not move beyond. His landscape is changing, his world rearranging, his bones are their bones and this is their bond.

Global Pandemic It doesn’t matter who you are We suck like a Vampire Stealing cookies from a jar Political nightmare It’s always been the same Now’s the time To feel the pain We know when you’re home. We’re bugging your phone Deleting your feed Embellish you’re greed We know when you’re home We’re bugging your phone We are the watchers of Black Tower... And we’re coming after you!

My Good Friends (Lyrics: Pete Vincelli) Here’s a toast to all my friends Have I ever told you about a guy I used to know? Every couple of rounds, I slam a couple down, With my good friend Joey Ramone. On this broken barstool, I‘ve cried about my life. He saw I was down, so he spun it around, And he gave me some advice. He told me not to worry, things would turn out fine. He said “life’s a gas”, “don’t be sad”. Go on, enjoy your life. I heard the words he told me, but it took me many years A couple of spins, and a couple of sins, And a lot of dirty tears. Here’s a toast to all my friends I don’t think I’ve told you about my one of my good friends. The man gets smashed, on the lash, I’m surprised that he ain’t dead. But Shane can tell a story better than anyone I know. I like him the most because he talks to ghosts, From a long long time ago. Here’s a toast to all my friends

Lyrics Inside, closed quarters Night's calling under blood red skies This madness, starts burning The victim of a strange desire Mistaken, we follow Restless emotions take you down Unwilling, still hunger For lustful pleasures I have found He's a good man in a bad time He's a good man in a bad time Soft voices, seduce you A butterfly in a spider's web Infectious behavior You're damned to do it all again (and again and again and again...) He's a good man in a bad time He's a good man in a bad time Don't cry, darling I'll be with you All night, darling Deep within you Don't cry, darling I'll be with you All night, darling Deep within you He's a good man in a bad time He's a good man in a bad time

What words could someone say? It’s personal, you hid it so well Oblivious, you were living in a shell Bending over backwards for the ones without a name Borderline comedian secretly living in pain So unexpected, Such a giving soul Dishing out so much of yourself must have taken its toll What words could someone say to change your mind? You left so many questions, no answers will we find Friends and family dressed in black to bare the pain you left behind What words could someone say? Casual, you were making your debut One night only, the last premier for you Smokes scorched down to the filter, anxious for what's to come Something else was on your mind with eyes setting like the sun Those kids will carry on Uphold your legacy We'll be screaming into microphones Til we succumb to entropy What words could someone say to change your mind? You left so many questions, no answers will we find Friends and family dressed in black to bare the pain you left behind What words could someone say? You can always find someone out there who will strike with the right tone In the backyard of a house show or someone over the phone Don't need an epiphany Don't need a miracle Do what it takes to get through the worst day you’ve ever known With words, words anyone can say With words, words anyone can say UK To call HOPELINEUK 0800 068 4141 US Lifeline 1-800-273-8255

Black Cat I was walking home at midnight Through the darkness and the gloom There was no comfort in the street lights No beauty in the moon Then he stepped out of the shadows And he stared into my soul And he asked without a question Won’t you let me share your road We walked on for a while Tears masked now by the rain And I saw the moon return And found the beauty once again Something new and yet familiar Walking silent by my side With his coat of deepest black And his gleaming, soulful eyes These things come and go just like the weather It’s just another mile down the road Through the darkness and the rain I will find myself again ‘Cause that black cat’s always there to guide me home And those days they are the hardest When the black dog comes to call You’ve locked the doors and windows But it’s scratching through the walls And it seems there is no good there Just an overwhelming fear One that’s tightening your chest And that brings you close to tears It’s on those days that you struggle You should open up your eyes Hold on tightly to your soul Try to follow its advice Find one thing that makes you smile And then count up from there Seek the beauty in the small things And let yourself repair These things come and go just like the weather It’s just another mile down the road Through the darkness and the rain You will find yourself again ‘Cause that black cat’s always there to guide you home Through the darkness and the pain There’s a soul that still remains And there’s a black cat always there to guide it home Lyrics: Jess Silk

Lyrics Don’t you feel useless Watching the world burn Wonder when it’s your turn To quit playing an unmoving spectator Grasping at the ladder Pulling down anybody faster Wasting the days you spent Vicariously living through the broken Beat ‘em till you choke ‘em Unrelenting Don’t you feel ruthless Now the glass is shattered And you're not the only one who matters You could have had the whole world at your feet And never determine reality from deceit There’s something insufferable It feeds off of fear The presence of nominal Destruction is near Will you follow me To the end of the line We’ll be gone from this place So leave your worries behind When it comes crashing down We can dance in the night So take my hand and we’ll run And vanish into the sky Ow Exiled Out to The hostile The vacuum To outlast The subdued And recast Your virtues Undo what’s been done Cursed by your memories With purpose to find anything (Hurt you) To save you from what’s to come Embrace the void perish beginnings For I will become The body of sacrifice Switch knife the end of your haze The road past the afterlife Let me lead the way Will you follow me To the end of the line We’ll be gone from this place So leave your worries behind When it comes crashing down We can dance in the night So take my hand and we’ll run And vanish into the sky And I know how this plays out But it’s easier when you’re around Cos we’ve come so far This ain’t over And I’m not ready to bow

I'm a model and I'm looking good He'd like to take me home that's understood I play hard to get, I smile from time to time It only takes a camera to change my mind I'm going out tonight, I'm drinking just champagne And I have been checking nearly all the men I'm playing my game and you can hear them say She is looking good, for beauty, we will pay I'm posing for consumer products now and then For every camera, I give the best I can I saw me on the cover of a magazine Now I'm a big success, you want to meet me again

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 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

WALK TALL Volume 2

Based on the imaginary life story of the guy in Val Doonicans WALK TALL song (Val Valsson)

A further and deeper reflection of 'Val's' travels through life's struggles thru the music that he loves at gigs and festivals.

Chapter 1 ... the first 20 tracks reflect his early years & people that he meets on his journey 🥰 🥳

Chapter 2 ... the ROCKY middle
- the hardships, anxiety, depression caused by relationship & mental turmoil 🍺

Chapter 3 ... the happy ending ! The final 20 tracks are very uplifting and reflect how ultimately music (and a black cat) saved his life 🧡

This is a concept album with a start, a very rocky middle and an end - with twists and turns along the path, enjoy 😎
