Walking in the Past (Gonna Dance, Gonna Sing)

about

“…when we were young, we were foolish, honey, that’s a fact!”

Taken from their forthcoming album ‘Time Will Throw Us Away’, ‘Walking in the Past’ is another example of the album’s premise - rocking guitar anthems with huge singalong choruses and codas

Wily Bo says, "This is one of the BIGGEST mixes I have ever produced, the coda is a true Spector-esque mix with a cast of thousands!"

A singalong finale to the album and live show - both the album and select gigs scheduled for 2024

lyrics

I SAW YOU TONIGHT
ACROSS THIS CROWDED ROOM
YOUR EYES HELD THE GLINT
OF A FULL RED MOON
‘YOU’RE LOOKING STUNNING
IN THAT CRIMSON DRESS
AND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, GIRL
THERE’S NO REGRETS’
YOU SAID ‘LIFE WAS BROKEN
WHEN THE DIE WAS CAST
THE THINGS YOU CALL MEMORIES
WEREN’T MEANT TO LAST
ALL SAID AND DONE
AND NOW THAT YOU’VE ASKED
I’M DOING FINE, LITTLE SUGAR
BUT YOU’RE JUST
WALKING IN THE PAST’

WELL I SAID, ‘HONEY I HAVE TO DISAGREE,
THAT PAST IS A’SPECIAL TO YOU AND TO ME
BACK THEN DARLIN’
WE HAD SO MUCH FUN
WE WERE YOUNG & WE WERE FOOLISH
BUT OUR DREAMS WERE SUNG
DANCING TO THE REBEL AND TO BOWIE TOO
THESE ARE THE MEMORIES I HAVE OF YOU
DON’T BE SO QUICK, LORD,
TIME MOVES FAST
THERE AIN’T NO HARM A’COMIN FROM
WALKING IN THE PAST’

THERE’S A FULL MOON IN THE SKY
WE STILL GOT SOMETHING, YOU CAN’T DENY
TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE,
IF NOTHING ELSE, DARLIN’
WE’VE GOT TONIGHT…

TAKE A WALK WITH ME, DARLIN’

HEY! WE GOT A BOTTLE OF WINE
AND YOU KNOW
WE’VE GOT THE BENEFIT OF TIME
HEY! DARLIN’ WE GOT ABSOLUTION, BABY!!!
BROTHERS AND SISTERS
GET ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY…

HERE WE GO…

WE’RE GONNA MOVE SOME MEMORIES AROUND

WE’RE GONNA
TAKE IT ON DOWN
TAKE IT ON BACK
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
WE WERE FOOLISH, HONEY
THAT’S A FACT
BUT TONIGHT WE’RE GONNA DANCE
TONIGHT WE’RE GONNA SING
LITTLE DARLING
GONNA SHAKE THAT THING…
