This was written at a time when regular folks were being asked to tighten their belts by the rich politicians, and wait longer and longer to retire. Then along came COVID-19....so maybe when the world recovers the "workin til 100" line may not be an exaggeration.

Grab and Plunder Blues      copyright Okunbor & Phillips 2019

They told us, we could have it all; the money, mansions and the time.
Some good years, we couldn't see the fall; they robbed us blind with a smile.
Moanin', rollin' workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin' the work'll never stop, talkin' bout the grab and plunder blues.
Ooh, I’m talkin’

Steering broken down motors; no way to fund a drivin’ wheel.
Finding the rent is a killer; nothin’ in the kitty for a meal.
Moanin', rollin', workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin' the work'll never stop, talkin' bout the grab and plunder blues.

Ooh, hear me howling.
Aah hear me moaning.

Waiting for the pension ‘til a hundred; payment with a letter from the Queen.
Days of entitlement are over, except for politicians on a scheme.
Moanin', rollin' an workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin', the work'll never stop, I feel I’ve got the grab and plunder blues.

Lord, hear me howling, tight belt turning to a noose.
Oh, hear me moanin’,
Moanin’ bout the grab and plunder blues.

I write music and record at home. Thank you for listening. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Welcome here to all music lovers and thanks for your support 🎈 

[ 🛎️ Important information (October 2024) :
I’m distributed now on other - more mainstream - platforms where you’re very WELCOME TOO !
You will hear on them some songs that were here but in remastered and more efficient versions.
And also some of my new stuff in the future !!

However I keep my Soundcloud especially for fantastic colleagues and public I’ve met here, and I hope I have time to publish soon some others of my more alternative, raw and low-fi tracks ! ]


Multi- styles composer,  guitarist , bassist and author / singer, I present here a blend of very different songs or instrumentals, recorded on more than three decades

        So you can find here ones with my rock band  The CATS BLEED, who had a bit of success in France in the mid nineties.
 Some with GOLDEN AGE , an Anglo-French pop-folk duet in the mid 2000s.
And some totally solo as LOONY in the early 2000s or later
 Or BRUNO C for my first compositions, from mid 80’s to 90’s
