Tightrope

from Tightrope by Odgers and Simmonds

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    CD comes with 8 page booklet of lyrics. The cover artist is Jacob Phillips son of Sean Phillips who did the artwork for The Men They Couldn't Hang 'The Domino Club' album back in 1990 and then went on to work with DC and Marvel creating artwork for Batman, Spider Man and Marvel Zombies to name but a few. He has also done cover art for The Walking Dead. So, hopefully there are big things ahead for Jacob too.

lyrics

Tightrope

I’ve got the shivers, I’ve got the shakes
Wake up in the night
Feel like I’m drowning in a lake
I’m on a tightrope

Sharks on the left, snakes on the right
It’s cold, this tunnel I’m in
Got no chink of light, so dark
I’m on a tightrope

Just a little gust of wind
Is gonna blow me over
Just a little push, one little shove
Took me off the tightrope

You give me balance, you give me hope
You keep me walking
On this tightrope
