Gritty Ghouls & Goblins

This is a first for Daniels & Durgy. An indulgent bit of fun we had in composing and performing this melodramatic Halloween themed extravaganza. To make it even better we have two of our best friends, Todd & Mike, joining in for the instrumental bridge near the end, something you won’t want to miss! We recommend a string of garlic and a silver stake in hand as you dare to venture into the mist............................   Video on YouTube for some added fun: https://youtu.be/_XPgAU8Mqms

Lyrics:

Silence, awakened by moonlight
Eyelids, open wide with the sound of the rain
Shadows, they creep from each gravestone
I rise up among them, as she calls out my name
Calling, her song high and haunting 
Wanting, the lips that I fear
Ohhh, marching, like a corpse hit by lightning
Frightening, but compelled yet to see her

She’s my beautiful nightmare,
My blood inside her, love is in vein
Cold, is the need as I’m bowing 
Howling, In the thunder and rain..
Mercy, I'm begging for freedom
From the life that she feeds on
With the bite of her kiss

Oh, I know you have what I need
But the moon has compelled me to feed
But there’s something inside your eyes that confounds me.. 
A rush that dispels me…
And some how I can feel your heart beat inside me
It’s lifting the curse that’s been there so long
Can you finally save me?… You’re the one I’ve been waiting for….

Darkness, I'm chained to this darkness
Like a slave in a harness, for one moment of bliss
I'm a slave in the mist
With the bite of her...terrible kiss

Slave In The Mist

Creeping Beauty

Still here, dancing at the end of time.  Here is a ditty. Love..Love...Love.

All Hallow's Eve

For Beckham & Bowe & The Boogie Man

Lyrics:

He’s sneaky and he’s spooky and he lives up the stairs,
The Boo-gie Man has his hideaway there,
He likes dark places ‘cause that helps with his scares,
The Boo-gie Man stays there,
It’s the Boogie Man, yes the Boogie Man,
Spooky Boogie Man, Kooky Boogie Man.

He doesn’t like folks who are happy and gay,
Or smiling kids having fun at their play,
His favourite trick is to scare them away,
And to mess up their whole day.
That’s the Boogie Man, yes the Boogie Man,
Spooky Boogie Man, Kooky Boogie Man.

But when it comes to danger he’s the first one to run,
He’ll panic if he sees you with your water gun,
He’s not very brave and he sure isn’t fun,
He’d melt into a puddle if he stood in the sun.

Instrumental 

But when it comes to danger he’s the first one to run,
He’ll panic if he sees you with your water gun,
He’s not very brave and he sure isn’t fun,
He’d melt into a puddle if he stood in the sun.

You gotta feel sorry for a guy who’s so mean,
He can’t be glad in that gloomy scene,
We should try to help him with some clothes that are clean,
And a few shots of caffeine,
That’s the Boogie Man, Help the Boogie Man,
Boogie-woogie Man, Broody Moody Man,
Tutti-Frutti Man, Hot Potootie Man,
Droopy Booty Man, Yeah the Boogie Man!

Saturday is a mile away
I still feel  the burning flames
As I walk through death again
Saturday burns my skin with wine
He marks it six with a silver knife
As I feel his breath again

I know he loves me
I know he must
My life for you
Voodoo dust

Drowning only feet from the shore
Sleeping an endless sleep
But violently awake, we wait
We walk the thousand yards he lays for us
We do his work his will is thus
Violently awake, we wait

We know he loves us
We know he must
We die for you
Voodoo dust

Saturday is a mile away
I still feel the burning flames
As I walk through death again
Saturday burns my skin with wine
He marks it six with a silver knife
As I feel his breath again

I know he loves me
I know he must
My life for you
Voodoo dust

Drowning only feet from the shore
Sleeping an endless sleep
But violently awake, we wait
We walk the thousand yards he lays for us
We do his work his will is thus
Violently awake, we wait

We know he loves us
We know he must
We die for you
Voodoo dust

Thumbing the nose at bad moods/anxiety. Who wins? The jury is not yet out. Just happy to have achieved a post, it has been a while.

What's that?
It's hollow inside
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
Yep, it's hollow inside
We've been tricked by social media
Hollow inside?
Keep it down or he might here you!
Yep, it's hollow inside
Hmm...

I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)
I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)

I just want to go back home
I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)

What's that?
It's hollow inside
I just want to go back home
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
I just want to go back home 
It's hollow inside
(I don't like it here)

I just want to go back home
It's hollow inside
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
I just want to go back home
It's hollow inside
(I don't like it here)

It's Hollow Inside

Graveyard Shift

After just posting an old recording of a surf-type tune a couple days ago I remembered how much fun it was and decided to record a new original that I have had on my mind for a while. Sort of mixes a mild surf rock ditty with some Martin Denny exotica. Just a little fun...the mysterious grip of the wild Moon Lagoon.

Moon Lagoon

Trippy track - the title referring more to the recording and mixing process rather than to the lyric content. The saga continues...


LYRICS: 

Talk to me, look at me, tell me what the feeling means.
Dead end streets, weary beats - hypnotic eyes stare into my mind.
Where are you? And what am I?
Bridges crossed, bones to grind,
Meaningful or senseless life. Forever lie awake at night!
Cannot cease to twist and turn. Cannot quench the inner burn!
Wounds don't heal, it's hell on earth. Expanding thoughts while the road is turning...

Lyrics:  Suicide

Its suicide , 
oh suicide…
just suicide for me…   
just suicide.

Other people move ahead but,
little voices inside my head say,
don’t you go cause danger lingers there,
I really want to try instead,
but all those voices in my head say,
“don’t you ever, never even dare, no! “

‘cause it’s suicide…
just suicide,
just suicide for me,
just suicide…

when I was a little child,
some would seek but I'd just hide,
but deep inside I,  
wanted to be found,
and now that I am so much older,
why cant I be just a little bolder
but I still sit, and listen, for the sound of the voices,
in my head!

it’s suicide..
oh just suicide..
it’s suicide for me,
just suicide..

For life is much too short to sit and,
ignore the heart of it…
but finally I’m going to,
take a chance and live!
tonight I’m going to find the nerve, 
I’m heading out to the dead man’s curve…
I’m going to ask that little girl, inside me, to dance again…  

it’s suicide, Oh..
Suicide…
It’s suicide for me,
Just suicide!

So live your life.. Don’t hide!
there’s no present like the time..

THE ELF ISLAND

A certain place I walk regularly gives me vibes,night or day. I'm never freaked out,just aware that I sense I have company,yet I'm alone.

Every time I walk here
'Tween the sea and the stone
I always get the feeling
I'm never quite alone

No one is with me
But someone,something
Feels like it's here

Footsteps behind me
'Tween the sea and the stone
After a while I turn around
But I'm still alone

No one is with me
But someone,something
Feels like it's here

'Tween the Sea and the Stone

'Tween the sea and the Stone (Paranoid)

Happy Halloween Folks!

Originally performed by Shivaree

Lyrics:
There's a nail in the door
And there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone
There's a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can't stand
What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall
What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
