Indian
KEVIN WALTON - INDIAN - 1994
"If you like guitar driven power rock, then this album is for you."
- genre - Hard Rock
- Guitar Rock
- wide range - power ballad to romping stomping
From the big power ballad Stay to the beautiful simplicity of Away with it`s blend of haunting guitar work, lyrical brilliance and evocative vocals you're carried on a journey.
The title track Indian pulses and grooves with a cool ease from start to finish and a chorus that`s simply impossible not to sing along with.
Then out of the blue you're thumped with the romping stomping Wind That Mother.
No.

Lyrics
BRAVE |
3.57 |
Words by Kevin Walton |
You were born three hundred years ago
And you rode a horse called navaho
Upon you’re chest was the mark of a man
The cry of the wolf in an untamed land
Be brave
Stand tall as the trees and be brave
be brave
The canyons to the seas
And be brave
now legends tell that you ruled the land
with a heart of gold and an iron hand
Two feathers in the hair of the great storm cloud
The sigh of the bear etched in the ground
Be brave
Oh won’t you stand tall as the trees and be brave
Be brave
The canyons to the seas and be brave
You’re head held high
Watch the moon go by
By the fire bright
Celebrate the night
And the tales of the warrior
they paint the sky
While the elders speak of a time gone by
Man’s forgot to understand
to live he’s gotta love the land
Spirits cried since time began
We’ve changed the world with a twisted hand
Oh stand tall won’t you be brave
Be brave
The canyons to the seas and be brave
Be brave
Stand tall as the trees and be brave
Be brave
The canyons to the seas and be brave

RUNNING FREE |
5.56 |
words by Kevin Walton |
When I met you
you were gorgeous
stop me dead in centre stage
and I found it hard to go on with the show
With those legs and crazy hair
I found you just too much to bare
and I knew the time was right to make some moves
But you were only there on show
all of this I didn’t know
And you had more up you’re sleeve than I could stand
So we cut the sweet talk there
took it home to honeys bed
And come the daylight
I was cruisin down the road hey
Runnin free
I’m runnin free yeah
You ain`t gonna get you’re claws in me
Cause I’m runnin free
I’m runnin free yeah
I gotta tell you it`s the only way to be
Sweet pussycat you’re loves contagious
so I’d better stay my distance
cause I know that it`s on me you’re gonna feed
And you’re such a pretty lady
but I got news for you baby
Theres more where you came from
it`s guaranteed
Oh this don’t mean that I don’t love ya
or don’t wanna spend time with ya
But there’s just one thing that you gotta understand
Oh that I love being single
livin hard and singin jingles
And I ain`t about to wear no wedding band
chorus
chorus
Full on attack
you’re gonna like it
Just don’t judge until you try it
And you’re never ever gonna be the same
Oh that feelin can’t mistake it
Round the world
you just can’t fake it
From the Californian coast
right up to maine
Oh I’ve seen the way they rock
and I know they love to roll it
In the sheets and on the streets it`s all the same
And that’s why I can’t be tamed
my roamin heart just needs the fame
Without a care I keep on goin on and on
chorus
Everybody wants some
everybody`s tryin to get some oh yeah
Everybody wants some
everybody`s tryin to get some oh yeah oh yeah

Away
Indian - Away
AWAY |
6.01 |
Words by Kevin Walton |
Have you ever been alone on the streets at night
Just you and the street lights
Wastin time away
All the shops are closed and the people gone
Peace of mind comes creepin on
Lose the madness of the day
Away
The night time soothes the day
Away
Away
The night time soothes the day
Away
When I need my space from the worldly race
Can’t think straight for no`one
I stroll into the night
Passing monuments of steel and stone
Alleys where sorrows grown
I still find peace of mind
Away
The night time soothes the day
Away
Away
The night time soothes the day
Away
I can cruise along in my own sweet time
I’m a part of deep city life
My direction is unknown
Ain`t no real need for speech
I’m just shufflin my feet
Don’t need money for this one
I t’s a free and easy ride
Away
The night time soothes the day
Away
Away
The night time soothes the day
Away
Away
The night time soothes the day
Away
Away
The night time soothes the day away

words by Kevin Walton |
Traffic lights
their burning white
They lead to somewhere
take us into the night
Live tonight

Life has its moments
time is ticking away
Rock me slow
you come and go
a heavy pettin picture show
It’s all or nothin baby
take it or leave
Here we go
a pumpin flow
cameras action
heaven knows
God perfected woman on the day you were born
When I saw you’re picture
I had to get you’re number
and get my sticky fingers in you’re pie
When I saw you’re picture
I had to get you’re number
and get my sticky fingers in you’re pie
Oh is it wrong
or is it right
You be the judge baby
and do what you feel
The music vibes
you’re body’s tight
Just move it closer I can taste you from here
Rock me slow come and go
a heavy pettin picture show
I t’s all or nothin baby

Woman damn I’m you’re man
honest injun swear I am
My engines bin a purrin
now the thing is alive
chorus
chorus
If I was lost out at sea
you’d be a vision to me
Atlantic woman comin to save me
You’d be my only girl
I’ll take you full tilt round the world
Our fate in the sunshine forever
You’re such a woman
tell the whole world about you
And paint you’re picture in the sky
I’d drive a million miles
to get just one chance to hold you
I don’t know what I’m doin babe
I’m out of my mind
chorus
Maybe its love

Soldiers Song
Indian - Soldiers Song
SOLDIER'S SONG |
6.14 |
words by Kevin Walton |
Someone raised the flag said time to fight
Cannon fire filled the evenin sky
And I was thinkin of my pretty wife
would I make it back home
Been a soldier since my cousin died
I had to do it for the county’s pride
But I ain`t brave enough to wanna die
to someone I don’t know
I can’t wait that long
I can’t wait that long
I’m singin the soldier’s song
it goes on and on
I can’t wait that long
Outta rashions and my boot’s they leak
Depression hits me and I wanna scream
The captain says if we survive the week
re`enforcements ll come
Their out to settle old scores this time
Three companies from Georgia died
And they’ve got revenge upon their mind’s
This could be the one
chorus
I was never told it`d be like this
I’d a packed my dreams for another day
And how was I to know of the tear`s and pain
Young men face down in the blood and the rain
I’m so afraid
Should I die defending home and state
Remember me for words of peace not hate
I hope they learn before it`s much too late
should all the young men die
And now there’s thunder mixed with screams goodbye
I don’t know if the blood is theirs or mine
Can’t feel my leg`s
mud is in my eye’s
Can’t hear the buggler`s cry
Though I was scared
I put up quite a fight
I always thought I’d get to twenty five
Remember me with dignity and pride
You’re lovin jimmie lee
chorus
I’ve been waitin such a long time
I’ve been waitin such a long time

words by Kevin Walton |
As the eagles fly
I’m cruisin by
a desert storm
on a moonlit night
Through canyons high
as the sun sets low
I’m glidin through like a wild arrow
This mornin I rose with the dawn
by daybreak I was up and gone
The desert vibe my company
my two wheel ride is all I need
I wanna ride on an Indian
I wanna cruise and I wanna be free
I wanna cruise and I wanna be free
My kind of bike is an Indian
We’re checkin outta here
the chief and me
We’re checkin outta here
the chief and me
It jumps and grooves like a primitive
She pumps and moves me through my dream
The buffalo and the sweepin breeze
The prairie dog and the sites I see
hey hey yeah yeah hey hey hey
Ain`t no real place that I belong
this bikes my home
The wind my song
There’s one thing I guarantee
my freedom can’t be stole from me
chorus
It jumps and grooves like a primitive
She pumps and moves me through my dream
The buffalo and the sweepin breeze
The prairie dog and the sites I see yeah
This mornin I rose with the dawn
by daybreak I was up and gone
The desert vibe my company
My two wheel ride is all I need
chorus
Like an Indian in the desert
I wanna fly
bye bye

Bright lights and summer nights

Words by Kevin Walton |
Hey when my motor’s runnin
hey you know I can’t stop
Push that little tacometer right to the top
Man there’s nothin like it when you’re ready to pop
Take it to the limit when the signals they drop
Wind that mother
and burn that rubber
You know I love it
just don’t ask me to choose
Grind that sucker
Feel that fucker
You know I love it
just don’t ask me to choose
You know I love it
just don’t ask me to choose
All the fans are screamin
cause they know I’m the man
Twisted gladiator with a wheel in my hand
Once I get her movin honey
outta my way
We’re gonna roll, crash, burn baby all in a day
chorus
Cause they’ve gone crazy
They’ve gone wild
Their gettin it on

They’ve gone crazy
They’ve gone wild
Their getting it on
Get it on
And when you feel it
You’re gonna like it

And if you like it

INDIAN is the first album from Australian singer/songwriter Kevin Walton.
With a new lineup of players organised and ready to rock, Kevin went straight into the studio and recorded ten tracks which would become the album INDIAN. An album with a perfect balance of light and shade.
INDIAN sends a clear and loud message to all that Kevin Walton is no Mr. Predictable and guitar rock is far from dead!
