A song for all the brave people!

This time of year there are so many nestlings heading out into the world. I wish them luck and exciting times!


Walking Off The Edge of The World by Willy Grigg 3/5/16

I [G]know how you like to [Am]explore,
It’s [D]hard walking by open [G] doors
You want exotic places / you [Am]want exotic faces
[D]Ones you [C]haven’t seen be[D]fore

Now you’re [G] going where you want to [Am] go
You’re [D] learning what you want to [G] know
You’re growing in a hurry, but you [Am] really got me worried
I [G] wish you could [C] just take it [D] slow

You’re [G] walking off the edge of the [Am] world
[D] Walking off the edge of the [G] world
You felt like you were wasting time, so you [Am] left it all behind
You’re [D] walking off the edge of the [G] world

You spent a lot of time back there
You’re certain that you weren’t treated fair
You’re headed for a foreign land
A place that you don’t understand
Away from the people who care

You’re walking off the edge of the world
Walking off the edge of the world
It’s hard to read a stranger / hard to recognize the danger
You’re walking off the edge of the world

And it’s [C]so [G]ex[C]ci[G]ting /[C] watching the [G]sun come [Em]up
On landscapes / [D7]you’ve never seen
All your [C]nerves [G]ig[C]ni[G]ting /[C] watching the [G] world fly [Em] by
No time to [D7] see what it means

A song for all the winners out there!

This song is about being competitive, ambitious, cutthroat.

 

You Want to Win by Willy Grigg – early May, 2016

Don’t throw no stones, brother
You’ve got your problems, too
You’re not so highly evolved
There’s a little violence in all you do

You want to fight, you want to brawl
You want to see the others crawl
But most of all – You Want to Win

You break the rules, you don’t play fair
Leavin’ lots of broken pieces everywhere
But you don’t care, You Want to Win

I know you think you’re great
And you were meant to rule
You know just who to hate
You’ve been to Hatred School

You want to live a life of ease
You’ll take it all, you won’t say please
Let the beggars freeze
You Want to Win
