How to stand up tall? Take me to the Park

I can’t recall To the sunny days at the start
Sometimes it’s there Take me to the Park
And then it’s gone again Through the Sonshine of the Spark
So here I sit Cos I don’t want this sea of tears flling up
My time is split my heart
Between the kitchen
And the living room It’s time to start…
Are you coming soon?
Thought I heard you say it was today?
Seems so long since you went away

Take me to the Park

To the sunny days at the start
Take me to the Park
Through the Sonshine of the Spark
Cos I don’t want to spend ten years
Wandering in the dark

Have you seen my cares?

I think I put them down somewhere
They made me cry
I don’t remember why
But I hope you’re fne
Still feel your hand in mine
And I’m still waiting
For our lunch at noon
Are you coming soon?
Thought I heard you say it was today?
Seems so long since you went away
Seems so long since you went away
(So far away…oh so far away)
ALREADY OVER
Words and Music by Alex Wall

But it was already over And it was already over

Long before it began This was never the plan
Was it this chip on my shoulder It was already over
That turned me into a man? Long before it began

I made my deal with the devil And it was already over

Not to push her away Ending where it began
Just a couple of rebels Now there's a Spark on my shoulder
Tripping on a sunny day It's all that's left of the man...

Tired words have been spoken

I heard, cos I couldn't hide
And when the door didn't open
I broke it down and went inside

But it brought me so low

There was nothing below me
There was no afterglow
Pride's so full that I'm going hungry

Dirty ships and planes

I never know what fuel remains
I'm just another white guy
At the front of the line
My infection isn't mentioned,
You want to talk about pretension?
You better talk fast
Cos' I ain't got much time!

And it brings me so low

That there is nothing below me
I've got nothing to show
So make sure that you never know me
WITH YOU

When the silence is broken at last

And the trade winds blow in from the past
I will be there with you

In September at the edge of the fall

You were smiling…I can remember it all
I will be there with you
I will be there with you

In the Sonshine where nothing is lost

Heaven’s song plays and it flters across
I will be there with you
I will be there with you
I will be there with you
I will be there with you
SEVEN STARS
Words and Music by Alex Wall
© Copyright 2020-2021

Golden sunset melts on the ground

Red candy in the trees
You are the nightfall hanging around
As pretty as I please
A thousand years; a thousand years
Lost nickels in the well of tears
A Milky Way of orange moons
Each generation paints its rooms

Now, I think this must be the time

But there's nobody left who knows
You and I have become the signs
As revealed so long ago
Real in our lives
Real in our lives
Seven stars will fall
When the trumpets call

Seven heads screwed onto the Beast

And the blood is in the tide
Tiny crowns wash over the beach
Pushing love aside
A thousand years; a thousand years
Standing in the well of tears
Ribbons in the Northern Lights
Refect into our reddened eyes

Now that we may die or live

There are so many songs to sing
And I will be there with you
At the start of everything
Real in our lives
Real in our lives
Seven stars will fall
We will see it all...
SNOW TO RAIN
Words and Music by Alex Wall
© Copyright 2020-2021

Twilight--the purples and blues of insight

It glows in the heart of the snowfall
Soft as an angle's roll call
I will let my face fall, frozen
Into the lap of midnight
I will let my face fall, dark
Into the grace of shadows
After a life of battles, melting as...
Rain in my eyes
Rain in my eyes
Rain in my eyes
Rain in my eyes
Washes me out to sea

When the king gets fat

Insisting that is this and this is that
So proud of all his pretty clothes
To numb to know his pants always
Falling down, falling down
It’s time to take away
Take away the crown

When the guy who weighs a billion pounds

Finds he can’t share it ‘round
We'll see his rocket to the stars
Requires lots of other people
Falling down, falling down
It’s time to take away
Take away the crown

When the preacher preys upon

The passing of the dish too long
The shadow throws up rows of pews
The congregation witness angels
Falling down, falling down
It’s time to take away
Take away the crown
I DON'T KNOW
Words and Music by Alex Wall

Well, I don't know
Where anyone's side ends
Where anyone's side ends
And I don't know
If we can be Facebook friends
Do we break before we bend
Do we think before we "send"
Oh, oh, oh, if you can show the proof
Between the facts and truth
I will do it too
Oh, oh, oh, if you can meet me there
And we can both play fair
I could stay with you

Oh, oh, oh, if you can show the proof

Between the facts and truth
I could do it too
Oh, oh, oh, if you can meet me there
And we can both play fair
I could stay with you

Well, I don't know

Where anyone's side starts
Where anyone's side starts
And I don't know
Are we whole without the parts?
Are we blood without the hearts?
Is the horse behind the cart?

Oh, oh, oh, if you can show the proof

Between the facts and truth
I could do it too
Oh, oh, oh, if you can meet me there
And we can both play fair
I could stay with you

Well, I don't know

Are we ghosting the machine
Are we ghosting the machine
And I don't know
When my hands are really clean
When to mask the magazine
Can I ventilate the scream?

I feel so nice, so warm and light

Don't know how much I did last night
Or was it just an hour ago?
It doesn't matter...
We'll never know

I feel your nod, a slow...goodbye

I loved the way you got me high
Was it just an hour ago?
It's doesn't matter...
They'll never know

I don't want to feel this good

To feel this good
Not all the time
I don't want to feel this good
To feel this good
Not all the time
The needle's kiss upon your lips
How could I let you live like this?

Flashing lights of red and blue

I lift my head to look for you
We're spooned out on my kitchen foor
Your body's there
But you aren't...anymore

I don't want to feel this good

To feel this good
Not all the time
I don't want to feel this good
To feel this good
Not all the time
The needle's kiss has sealed your lips
How could I let you die like this?
THE AGE OF HEROES
Words and Music by Alex Wall

Once in a dream I saw The fascist is stripped and shamed

The Age of Heroes
Appeared in my head on a frosty day
Birds fying high can see
The Age of Heroes
I try to ignore it but it won't go away
You can be anything that you choose
Peace is the fower in harmony's muse
Nobody here is the same, anymore
They gave up the game
They settled the score
Where learning is free at school
And love is the only rule
Where everyone has a chance
Where painters and singers
Dance in blue skies
While white clouds rush by
As the Sparks shine out from their eyes
Cos' hate is held down by it's own chains
With the rich fnally paying it back
Where no one will die
In the shadow of lack
No one's under attack
As the Sparks build into a fre
gZ k Yg
Oh, bright horizon
We'll walk in your Light
We'll walk in your Light
Oh, bright horizon
We'll walk in your Light
We'll walk in your Light
When all the world is becoming new
I will be there... I will be there... with you

Haven't you heard about

The Age of Heroes?
Just trip to the future on a sunny day
Every child will see
The Age of Heroes
They are the ones who prepare the way

You can be anything that you choose

Peace is the fower in harmony's muse
Nobody here is the same, anymore
They gave up the game
They settled the score
