Kids 04:11
lyrics

We swung from tree tops and we ran as fast as the wolves We became pirates and we looted all of the gold No one will see us as long as we put on our cloaks Let's all be spacemen and fly to the moon on the roof Do we run, forward Into the crashing storm Where the waves will find us in the dark Those days are behind us but we still hold on to the thoughts Of being as tall as a giant or walking on yellow brick roads There's photo's and memories that all seem to turn into dust If only our spaceship could find us again to beam us all up Do we run, forward into the crashing storm Where the waves will find us in the dark Or do we stand tall up Against this world we fear Learn to fly like we once did as kids

Light it up 03:50
lyrics

I heard the sighs and read the signs Saw the weakness in you eyes and I, thought lets talk lets talk Break and smile and not your mind It's ok to feel compromised sometimes Lets take a walk, take a walk Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Well who am I, to spread the wise With these holes in my shoes this guitar and my life on the line But I believe in it all I'd sell my car, and all my homes Well that's of course if I had one to call my own Ain't gonna stand in line Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Don't let it lie At the bottom of the oceans tide Don't say goodbye To that feeling that you hold inside Light it up Light it up Light it up...

Well I've been lost up on the hill side I've been washed upon the shore Chasing down these avenues and going around door to door But now I'm home Well I think I'm home Am I home Yeah I think I'm home So don't you tell me you love me Then be asking me to go Don't be telling me to leave And then be running down the road Well I've been caught up in my story I've been chasing my shadow But now I'm home Yeah I think I'm home Will you fly with me to the moon or leave me running after the train Lend me all or some of your shelter in this cold English rain But now I'm home Well I think I'm home Am I home Yeah I think I'm home So don't you tell me you love me Then be asking me to go Don't be telling me to leave And then be running down the road Well I've been caught up in my story I've been chasing my shadow But now I'm home Yeah I think I'm home So don't you tell me you love me Then be asking me to go But now I'm home Yeah I think I'm home So don't you tell me you love me Then be asking me to go Don't be telling me to leave And then be running down the road Well I've been caught up in my story I've been chasing my shadow But now I'm home Yeah I think I'm home And now I'm home Yeah I think I'm Home And now I'm home Yeah I think I'm home

Losing touch 03:37
lyrics

Don't be in my silhouette Don't be my last, my one regret no I can't, I won't sit still And I've wandered through fields of sadness Tales of woe are the ones I've practiced For now, it's where I belong Because I'm Losing touch I'm losing touch with you Yes I'm Losing touch I'm losing touch with you Did I bight the hand that feeds me My mind is trembling please relieve me You're the only, witness here And my sight is blinded by the thunder The way we talk to one another We're becoming strangers dear Because I'm Losing touch I'm losing touch with you Yes I'm Losing touch I'm losing touch with you Fly away baby Fly away Fly away baby Fly away Fly away baby Fly away from me Because I'm Losing touch I'm losing touch with you Yes I'm Losing touch I'm losing touch with you

Mexico 04:27
lyrics

These days are blending I am concerned And life keeps joking me around I talk and talk but my words they hide And all that's left is this caged up mind So go High or low Jump on a plane and fly into Mexico Got to keep moving on Catch a sail on the river Stick out your thumb and shout Hey hey hey This country I love is falling fast We lie awake clutching to the past I miss my brother, he moved away It seems to be me that has to stay Well I'm packing up me and moving away And go High or low Jump on a plane and fly into Mexico Got to keep moving on Catch a sail on the river Stick out your thumb and shout Hey hey hey

about

'Stand tall up' was recorded at Monkey Puzzle House Studios in Woolpit, Suffolk.

This 5 track record sees TBW put aside their rockier sound from their previous records to return to their more folkier routes.
Already being said to be their most interesting sound yet, this new recording truly shows a leap forward for the band and for singer songwriter Chris Athorne.
