My friend Paul Hammond, host of the Punk AF radio show is currently down under in Australia where he's been helping put on a few Punk AF live shows featuring some pretty cool bands. He's also released a lengthy compilation album featuring 52 tracks in aid of Lifeline Australia.
A band who performed live at one of the Punk AF gigs and contributed a track to the album is Wollongong quartet Topnovil (https://www.facebook.com/Topnovil).
They've just released a new ep titled Stand Tall. It's 4 songs of old school punk rock about finding the heart to change your life around, a man you don't want to cross, internet idiots and leaving town. You can get it here : https://topnovil.bandcamp.com/album/stand-tall
I'll play the title track on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show but as they've gone to the trouble of making a video for a different song I'll highlight that here. It's about how growing up without a loving family environment can lead you down a troubled path and it's titled Nobody's Fool...
THE BOY NOBODY WANTED RIGHT FROM THE START
LEAD HIM TO A LIFE WITH A CALOUSED HEART
IN AND OUT OF LOCK DOWN AND FOSTER HOMES
LEFT HIM COLD BUT TAUGHT HIM ALL HE KNOWS
DON’T TRUST NO ONE AND LOOK OUT FOR YOUR SELF
THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IN THIS WHIRLWIND WORLD
HE WONT BE LOCKED DOWN, NO HE’S OUTTA CONTROL
AN EVIL MAN AND AS DANGEROUS AS HELL
HES NOBODYS HERO, NOBODYS FOOL
ANSWERS TO NO ONE, FOLLOWS NO RULES
YEAH HES NOBODYS HERO, NOBODYS FOOL
HE WALKS ALONE A TROUBLED ROAD
THE ONLY ROAD HE EVER KNEW
CONSTANT BATTLES AND ALWAYS AT WAR
NEVER OWNED NOTHING THAT HE NEVER FOUGHT FOR
WILD LOOK IN HIS EYES AND AS HARD AS NAILS
A VIOLENT MIND LEAVING A BLOODY TRAIL
STILL HE MARCHES ON TO THE BEAT OF HIS OWN DRUM
OUT OF TUNE AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH ANYONE
PUSHED SO FAR NOW HE’S HAD ENOUGH
SETTLING SCORES AND AT ANY COST
COLD HEARTED MAN
SOLVES HIS PROBLEMS WITH HIS HANDS
HES NOT THAT COMPLICATED
BUT YOU’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
THERE IS SOMETHING INSIDE OF HIM
THAT JUST AINT RIGHT
HE DON’T WANNA LIVE, AND NOT AFRAID TO DIE
A LETHAL COMBINATION FOR HIS WAY OF LIFE
WOUND UP TIGHT, WAITING READY TO STRIKE
YOU DON’T WANT TO FIND YOURSELF
ON THE WRONG SIDE
