Walk
2002
Programme notes
‘Walk’ was written for a Dutch tv film called ‘Oud & Nieuw’ by the director David Lammers.
In the film, a struggling band tries to break through by signing a deal to do an ad for a blue jeans company. I wrote ‘Walk’ as the song that they would lip-sync to in the ad.
Lyrics
Walk like it just can’t rain on your party
Walk like you feel no pain tonight
Walk like the light of the moon shines for you
Walk like you know I’m the one who adores you
A walk like-a chocolate and brandy
A walk so sleek, like a limosine
Walk ‘cause the moonlight shines above
Take a walk with me in the garden of love
I was down, down, down, so down
In need of resurrection
You picked me out of the lost & found
when you walked in my direction
Walk like a winner, baby, that’s your name
You got the key in your pocket to my ball and chain
Walk like a praying mantis for me
walk right onto my coverstory
walk like the stars bid you farewell, baby
walk ‘cause there’s danger in the air tonight
Walk like you’re walking from the scene of a crime
cool and smooth; baby, take your time
I was down, down, down, so down
In need of resurrection
You picked me out of the lost & found
when you walked in my direction
