Walking Through Walls (2004)

WALKING THROUGH WALLS When seasons change, you don’t get time to change too You struggle on, doing handstands in a storm When your telephone won’t ring the call that you need You switch it off and think there’s nothing you can give If you want to know what its like to live… You’ve gotta share what you’ve got To get back what you lost You’ve gotta walk through the wall To hear the writing start to talk And when you’re there you’ll forget How you came to lose the knack Just share what you got, you’ll get it back You’re living proof there ain’t no big plan But it’s true to say there’s a reason you should stay I wasted time looking for a reply To the question I wanted to ask But the question was just a mask You’ve gotta share what you’ve got To get back what you lost You’ve gotta walk through the wall To hear the writing start to talk And when you’re there you’ll forget How you came to lose the knack Just share what you got, you’ll get it back I know that we are better than we realise, but still not as good as we’re gonna be… You’ve gotta share what you’ve got To get back what you lost You’ve gotta walk through the wall To hear the writing start to talk And when you’re there you’ll forget How you came to lose the knack Just share what you got, you’ll get it back Just share what you got You’ve gotta share what you’ve got To get back what you lost You’ve gotta walk through the wall To hear the writing start to talk And when you’re there you’ll forget How you came to lose the knack Just share what you got, you’ll get it back Just share what you got, you’ll get it back Just share what you got, you’ll get it back

PICTURES FROM THE PAST I look to the northern star far from home Through your falling leaves A cloud turns to rain and rain to snow Paralyzing me I imagine pictures from the past But the picture I miss most is in your heart And all I wanna say Is keep your self safe for me And all I wanna do Is keep the lines open with you We paid every cent we owed you know The contracts over now It looks like a loss to one that fears But promises are kept I remember pictures from the past Its not goodbye you know its only what we asked And all I wanna say Is keep your self safe for me And all I wanna do Is keep the lines open with you We just took the wrong way home

about

"Arnold captures an air of sweet hopeful innocence and on the closing track 'Yourself' he's turned in a song thats a classic of plaintive oddness" - NME ★★★★
