I gotta drive on Safe to say I loved you, Polaroids I cling to Safer said I gotta move on Near, Far wherever you are I know that your heart is long gone dear Nevermore will you open, open my door Maybe you're here in my heart, but my heart is cold You're not here, there's nothing I fear Though I know that your heart won't go on Dear You'll stay, forever away Maybe your here in my heart, but my heart is cold

I was challenged to do this, It took a while, had to let it sink in. 'The Irate Pirates' have compiled a playlist of seaworthy ones, brave enough to take it on : https://soundcloud.com/gibson-j-4-5/sets/never-dare MY HEART WILL GO ON (Céline Dion 1997) Songwriters : James Horner, Will Jennings, Carmelo La Bionda, Michangelo. Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you That is how I know you, go on Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you, go on Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go until we're gone Love was when I loved you One true time I hold to In my life we'll always go on Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on

I adore this song, and wanted to play alongside Brian Reeves aka ROCKY MOUNTAIN. True genius. Thank you so much Gary https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs for letting me do that. Written by Brian Reeves, August-October 1972, and first recorded in a New Malden bedroom, October 1973. Thanks also to The Inconsistent Jukebox https://soundcloud.com/barry_snaith for giving us those swirling snaithlicious-bowiesque guitars on the outro. Cheers Baron ! If The Stars Are The Dreams of Spacemen Knowing love as I do Yes I’m frightened Desperate gasps of conversation Fears heighten If I’m only the dreams of dreamers Why am I in isolation? Seeing life as I do Yes I’m whitened Seeking masts on horizons Pains tighten If the stars are the dreams of spacemen Where am I in heaven’s tracing? I am the hammer on closed doors and windows Asking the question that nobody knows Breathing songs as I do Yes I’m lightened But they’re only gaps in vacuums Freak lightning Inside dreams of dreams of dreamers Outside schemes of schemes of schemers Who Am I?

Ukulele maestro Reno Rudlove plays jazzy chords on guitar... thanks for making this song with me old friend and music buddy https://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Royal-Boudoir-Orchestra/207312592663223?fref=ts The deep voice of Chris Pendergraft aka EchoCosmic is "Officer O'Malley", first policeman at the scene of crime @chris-pendergraft Many thanks also to E, T, B and C [A Dark Pool] for your continuous support and precious advice :) A banal story that would maybe not have ended in tragedy without the gun (!!) He’s been ticking away one more blood-sucking day He’s the fella who’s a Go-Getter who’s worth every penny they pay If he’s still clicking he may find a reason today [She’s acting strange] The impervious one Now so nervous one feeling love fades away He’s out there kicking She’d like to start living “a change for the better” are words she wrote in her letter Wannabe tycoon no honeymoon She’s now crying as her lover dresses It’s the taste of bitter honey She’s fading away He finds nothing to say [Now feels the strain] Denegation and self flagellation Quite an end to his day He comes home too soon that afternoon It’s him now crying and her lover stresses It’s the taste of bitter honey Now they are caught words come out faster that thought too fast to keep things clean “This makes me so bitter Honey” The gun in his pocket is out like a rocket The room spins once more as they fall to the carpeted floor then there’s a knock at the door The cries, the hissing snake eyes, the not missing “a change for the better” the words she wrote in her letter

This is a team effort... no individual credts, simply OUR song. If you liked it, you're gonna LUURRRVE what's going on here : https://soundcloud.com/maureendarosa SHE's one unique talent !

Mrs Moag said "strip things down" The previous version is here : https://soundcloud.com/man-on-a-grill/let-it-go The swaying arms of love Those arms that one dreams of Have swayed so much it’s true they waved a spell on you They left the door ajar They left a burning scar Though now it hurts you so Let it go Let it go Overcome the need to know Be that cool guy on the block turn back a few years on the clock The chime of distant bells saving a place for you in hell Though now it hurts you so Let it go What you did What you can’t undo What you hid What she always knew Words you spread Words you could not say How she fled those things you tried to do to make her stay What you prize What you can’t take to What you have realized and all the things you really blew That time you spent Those times you could not stay They swayed away and now it hurts you so though now it hurts - I know Yes now it hurts you so Let it go Let it go Let it go Even if earth trembles below Even if rock turns into sand It cuts you then slips through your hand A sniper on the hill smoothly preparing for a kill Though now it hurts you so Yes how it hurts I know Let it go

The Queen of this show is here : https://soundcloud.com/chris-okunbor The true story of CHRIS O & MOAG [MOAG] I’m on my own again Tired of pretending it’s ok, that you’re most likely on your way [CHRIS] Babe you know I love you true It’s been one helluva a long day so won’t you just say you love me too You buy me bangles, diamond rings but I just want the simple things under the moon like there’s no tomorrow [MOAG] Get off that blue trail to the stars I don’t like your friends nor their lalalalas You moving further makes me hollow You know I have waited Wasted time that you never updated Falling apart for the Queen of my heart [CHRIS] I don’t want no crown, don’t string me down Don’t need no fancy blings Just gotta get out and do my thing This ain’t no tale about fame and glory Much more like my whole life’s story Oh how can you want me to let go ? [MOAG] Don’t get me wrong, I’ve known all along that I could never tame you But who’s that guy in your latest song ? Those tender words of love, they burn right through my soul, they grip tight to that guy won’t bring me anything but sorrow [CHRIS] The guys in my songs are always you No matter what I try So get a grip and quit this wallow CHRIS & [MOAG] Don’t push Babe Don’t do me wrong [I don’t intend to do you wrong] Don’t push Babe Are you that strong ? [and I‘m as strong as the day is long] Though I may not like you much today I keep crawlin’ back here anyway [I will be waiting for you here anyway] Don’t ever say you know what’s true [one thing I know is true] when you don’t even know that I love you [is that I love you]

On this Island we knew like the back of our small hands Throwing stones and backstreet slang On this Island we grew in just a flick of our big eyes and baggy shorts, lords of the flies Bloody knees and football roars Screaming mums and hard slamming doors On this Island we flew Thieves for sweets and naughty magazines Outlaws for the most simple dreams On this Island we drew so many secret plans in the dark save the light that shone from the stars Bloody noses on concrete fists Fights about nothing, first cigarette mists Yeah with no feeling of head in the sand in the struggle to be head of the band On this Island at this school in breaking all the rules that’s the plan Yeah with a feeling of up to no good On this Island, on this wreck or most simply our neck of the woods On this Island of blue streets filled with banged down limousines in which we were the kings so lean On this Island we knew like the back of our small hands Throwing stones and backstreet slang

I played a bass part for our cover of Tom Waits' "Bad As Me" but it didn't seem to quite fit. Mo sent me a present with what I had played.

I "ambushed" Guiville when I read that he was looking to collaborate on this one. I love his spontaneity, wildness and (as he calls them himself) “iffy guitars” !!.. There’s more of his lovely music right here : http://soundcloud.com/guiville Big thanks also to “Mrs Moag” for helping on the “doodoo” vocals :)).. Kiss me now Nothing to follow nowhere to go It’s on your brow But I’ll be okay if it’s with you my love To hold your hand is all I’m thinking of To feel your lips on mine Kiss me now Kiss me now Counting how many afternoons we spent hovering through the dunes how every time the weather changed into a deep dramatic range could not keep us off the moon Kiss me now Kiss me now Although I’ve never had a clue about what makes a gloomy sky seem blue Hereafter singing in the rain could only ever be the same if I can sing with you They said that this love would fade Happens all the time in fact how opposites attract then slip apart Tearing down the barricades Dodging every sly kickback But this is one attack that sends me to the start Kiss me now Because in the morning I don’t know if I do know how And I’m not afraid except for you my love I know you’re so tough inside that velvet glove To feel your lips and to be free Kiss me now Kiss me now

Thank you Jenny and Kim for lending me your sweet voices :) :) xx Do you receive what they say ? Would you believe it all anyway ? Through those eyes, do you realize it’s me ? Do you receive what they say ? They say it’ never all pink, all grey Colour-blind, help me please to find it’s me... You take it, don’t choose it You learn how to use it You try not to lose it Do different stories bloom ? In that mind, do you walk from this room ? Tell me the tale of the blue whale it’s me Sweet darling Seventeen were you keen, did you have youthful dreams or did you think that this life would stink it’s me You take it, don’t choose it You learn how to use it You try not to lose it One spark outrun There goes the sun Now things are done Let’s all go and have some fun Do you receive what they say ? They say it’s never all pink, all grey They I guess, most surely know less than me

http://soundcloud.com/keithtimmonsmusic : Music and Lyrics - Vox - Keyboards http://soundcloud.com/man-on-a-grill : Beats - Bass - Guitars - BVox I knew what it was all about, yeah I knew what they were like I went into this with open eyes, I was never gonna try She was special though, she came up to me and smiled Hey come with me! I will sing my song for you, I can make you fly! Oh it was my first time Didn’t know she lied This was far beyond my wildest dreams, it was love and joy and light I think I loved her for a moment in the night And I never felt so good before, the love was sweet the sex was raw Sing again, my brief encounter Things were going steady then, we would party all week long And maybe as to return the favour she would sing her little song Then she went away, there were no more shots to drop Still the song remained, and I knew it had to stop This is my last time Didn’t know I lied Let’s just say I kinda liked it, let’s just say that it was hard to stay away ‘Cause I enjoyed it every step along the way And I never felt so good before, the days were sweet the nights were raw Sing again, my brief encounter I cannot lie I like getting high, really high But why, oh why Understand why Then it was my last time Didn’t know I’d die It was just like any other night, but it was hard to stay awake I don’t remember no one told me not to take And I never felt so good before, soon I’ll never feel no more Sing again, my brief encounter Come on sing it all night long, let me hear that dopey song My brief encounter My brief encounter Don’t do me no fucking favour

The swaying arms of love Those arms that one dreams of Have swayed so much it’s true they waved a spell on you They left the door ajar They left a burning scar Though now it hurts you so Let it go Let it go Overcome the need to know Be that cool guy on the block turn back a few years on the clock The chime of distant bells saving a place for you in hell Though now it hurts you so Let it go What you did What you can’t undo What you hid What she always knew Words you spread Words you could not say How she fled those things you tried to do to make her stay What you prize What you can’t take to What you have realised and all the things you really blew That time you spent Those times you could not stay They swayed away and now it hurts you so though now it hurts - I know and now it hurts you so Let it go Let it go Let it go Even if earth trembles below Even if rock turns into sand It cuts you then slips through your hand The sniper on the hill smoothly preparing for a kill Though now it hurts you so Yes how it hurts I know Let it go

The stories we told as if we were too young to know I think of them... All those big words How they seem to mean so little now but then again... What is a friend ? A friend is some-one to lean upon Did you only pretend ? Days we were cold Days we were HOT and truth would show I think of them... Those winners are gone They left us here now life goes on but then again... What is a friend ? A friend is some-one to lean upon Did you only pretend ? Will I be bold and talk to you now we are old ? but then again... Long time no see I hear you have a life... a family What is a friend ?!!..

Maraboo Oh oh it’s time you knew The promise for change that was in your range is overdue Who were you Oh oh my Maraboo ?.. The question could trace a scar on my face You gave no clue Your voodoo Oh oh my Maraboo has no effect on me this time I play with you Clever though you seem for all that self esteem Now do you look into this mirror no-one there ? - how cruel but no-one even cares to come to your rescue All those days gone with more said than done It’s time you knew Preach now where to Maraboo ? Now I’ve caught you Oh oh sweet kangaroo You’re not what you claim You’re a fucking shame I see through you Are you blue Oh oh poor Maraboo ?.. The promise for change that was in your range is overdue All those days gone with more said than done It’s time you knew Preach now where to Maraboo ? Are you just numb to what you’ve become ? Were you once true ? I see through you Maraboo

Was this your final dance ? Like a fool I did not know Like a fool I let it go Now as you turn to leave the floor sing how you love it when it rocks and how all you really need is one more match in the box Was this our final chance ? Like a fool I did not know Like a fool I let it go Braving those cool December dawns we dodged the Jackals and the Fuzz Now to perform the next encore Just one more itch, one more buzz Pictures of a conversation Some of love, some for frustration Easy come, so easy go Is this the showdown, the final blow Music, so to save confusion it’s rock’n’roll, there’s no illusion Tell me what is on your mind Tell me what is the bottom line Please, tell me the bottom line Like a fool I did not know Though if I did I let it go This was the final chance Well now I am haunted, I agreed to watch you burning down the stocks not thinking that there were indeed only 9 matches in each box I have these pictures of a conversation Some of love, some for frustration Easy come, so easy go Now is this the showdown, your final blow Music, so to save confusion it’s rock’n’roll, there’s no illusion Tell me what is on your mind Now please, tell me the bottom line

These are the things that lovers do These are the things that lovers do These things I used to do with you He speaks words only she can hear She whispers back gently to his ear They don’t mind that crowd they're on their own He kisses her neck breathes her cologne She smiles and puts her hand into his and squeezes untill it's blue Silly little things that lovers do These are the things that lovers do These are the things that lovers do These things I used to do with you He's biting her lips she seems to be In heaven eyes shut what does she see Now they both laugh as if to say “Good morning to you beautiful day” As dawn shows it's brow they get into the cab they had hailed it's 5.02 Just some of the things that lovers do So when we said our love is true You could not believe it like I do Honey don't you believe like I do ? Love love love I do Love love love don't you ? What if we just lived again ? I'D MAKE YOU HAPPY THEN Love love love I do Love love love don't you too ?
