Written, Howled & Bashed In 2013
I'm Bashing At My Unplugged Epiphone Casino
For Most Songwriters 
A 12-Year Old Song 
Would Be An Oldie
But When The Writer's An 'Oldie'
I'm Currently 75 
So A Song Written At Age 63 
Is Kind Of A 'New Song'...
I Think I Had No Idea If It Was Any Good 
(It Sounded Like "Sunny Day D'Artagnan"
A Song Of Mine - From 1968)
But I 
So I Just Sang & Played It  "Live" To My 
20-Year Old "Photo Booth" App On My Computer

LIVING ON THE MOON

Every Time You Look At Me
Every Time You Smile
Makes Me Want To Laugh & Stay Awhile
Some Day’s Are Crazy
Monday’s Coming Soon
Think I Want To Go Live On The Moon

But In The Ways That Matter
Do I Even Care
Do I Even Breathe The Same Air
Can You Ever Forgive Me
Can You Do It Soon 
Can We Both Go Live Up On The Moon

LIVING ON THE MOON

2011 - Written With The Amazing Dee Archer

Dee & I Had A Blast Writing This 
Very Much Together
We Both Have Recordings - google them 
This Recording However - Is About Performance  
I Hear Myself Trying To Play A Solid Rhythm 
For ZERO Other Instruments?
And Problem Is... There's Serious Dolby Hiss Reduction 
Reducing Both Guitar & Vocal 'Natural Ring'
So, Of Course, I Play & Sing Real Good 
Hi, Mom!

LIKE YESTERDAY

Wake-Up, Wake-Up, You’re Gonna Be Late
Tomorrow Just Turned Into Today
Here Comes Another Chance To Get
Life Right – Just Once
It Doesn't Matter What You Did Wrong
Or If You've Been A Kid All Along
It's Time To Rise & Shine & Get Life Right 
Just Once

It Looks Like Yesterday 
But Its Not - No It's Not
It’s A Brand New Opportunity
It’s Whole New Shot
It’s A Lot Like Yesterday…
But It's Not

Sit-Up, Sit-Up & Get Out Of Bed
It’s Time To Get Outside Of Your Head
Today’s The Day You’re Gonna Get Life Right 
Just Once
Last Night You May Have Been A Jerk
But Who Knows Today You Might Make It Work
You Gotta Figure You Can Get Life Right 
Just Once

It Looks Like Yesterday 
But It’s Not
Don’t Miss This Opportunity
It’s A Whole New Shot
It’s A Lot Like Yesterday

Today, Is What Tomorrow Brings
Today, Can Be A Thousand Things
Today, Doesn’t Look It's Age
Today, You Can Turn The Page
Today, You Get Another Look
Today, Is Like An Open Book
Today, Today, Today, Today, Today

Wake-Up, Wake-Up You’re Gonna Be Late
Tomorrow Just Turned Into Today
Here Comes Another Chance To Get
Life Right – Just Once

LIKE YESTERDAY

1978  
Home Recording 
On My Reel-To-Reel Tape Deck
I Wrote The Lyrics First
On A Plane From LA To NYC
In An Attempt To Impress A Girl
It Did Not
This Turned Out To Be 
An Excellent 'Live' Song
In 1979, It Was My Nod To 
The 'New Wave' Thing Going On In LA
I Enjoyed Playing & Singing It 
As Fast As I Could 
Here's A Link To That 
https://soundcloud.com/dragbunt/soviet-soviet-79-m
And Hey - I Love Elvis Costello!

SOVIET SOVIET

Airliner Carry Me To Soviet, Soviet
Explain Me As Some Crazy Russian Singer Singing
Nyet Nyet Nyet, Soviet, Soviet
All I Wanna Do Is Get Inside

Wait In Line For The Soviet Soviet
People Never Wanted To 
People Never Wanted To Learn

Sunshine So Communist Communist
People Never Bother To 
People Never Bother To Learn

Selling Out To The Soviet, Soviet
Yes I Wanna Be That Russian Rock & Roller Singing
Nyet Nyet Nyet, Soviet, Soviet
All I Wanna Do Is Be Inside

Serfs Up In The Soviet, Soviet
People Never Bother To 
People Never Bother To Learn

Nureyev So Daddy-O Daddy-O
People Never Needed To
People Never Needed To Learn

So Airliner Carry Me To Soviet Soviet
Exchange Me For Fome Russian Rocker Fella Singing
Nyet Nyet Nyet, Soviet, Soviet
All I Wanna Do Is Get Inside...

SOVIET SOVIET

1980

Not Every Song Feels Like A Cosmic Gift 
But This Did
At The Time
I Was Working On A Few Songs
And Felt Like An Open-Faucet Of Songs
'Mary' Was Birthed In The Time It Took To Sing It
And Came So Easily 
That I Didn't Take It's Simple Elegance Seriously 
My Bad - I Do Now
And I Love The Phil Spektor Wall Of Crickets
Outside My Edinburgh Avenue  
Courtyard Apartment
----
This Originated As A 'Live' Piano/Vocal 
Condenser Mic Cassette Recording
That I Added A Harmony Vocal To 
When Transferring The Track To 1/4 Inch Tape 
Big Hugs To The Muse - Mary Bergin
And Finally - As A Kid - I Was A Fan Of
The James Cagney Film, 'Yankee Doodle Dandy'
There's A 'Mary' Song That I Always Loved... and maybe borrowed from
--------
MARY

Yellow Moon So Broken-Hearted
Shining Up Above
Can You Finish What You Started
And Help Her Fall In Love
Mary Oh Mary
I Wait For Your Touch
I Want You So Much
Mary Oh Mary
I’ve Given It All

I Could Want The Seven Seas
With Waves Of Perfect Love
But If I Knew 
You Wanted Me, Then
That Would Be Enough
Mary Oh Mary
I Wait For Your Touch
I Want You So Much
Mary Oh Mary
I’ve Given It All

® rgoldman dragbunt music

MARY

Recorded In 1975 At 'Sound City' 
In Van Nuys, California
With The Help Of Legendary, Dan Dugmore i
Piano & Pedal Steel Guitar
Kenny Edwards - Bass
They Were Amazing 

Previously, I've Been Unable To Post This Remix 
Due To Complications With Numero 
But Now That Outlaws Run The Country
I Figured It's 'Anything Goes 'Time

DANCER

Dancer, Dancer 
With Your Eyes Of Blue
Listen To the Patter Of 
A Lazy Tune
The Kind You Heard
When Your Dad Was Here
He Used To Make Your Little Frowns
Disappear
It's Feather Soft 
Like Your Father's Kiss
Your Life Is Mine 
But Your Eyes Are His
Your Tiny Hands 
Wrap Around My Thumb
We'll Live Without A Man 
And Let Those Changes Come
I'll Listen To You
I'm Gonna Listen With My Heart 
You're Gonna See It In My Eyes
Listen To You
Talk About The Lovers &
Laugh About The Lies
Listen To You

Dancer, Dancer
With Your Eyes Of Blue
It Cannot Mean 
That Much To You
But Hearts Are Broken 
Needlessly
And Jesus Ain't The Savior
He Used To Be
Everybody's Gotta 
Hold Their Own
You Go Outside & 
Leave Your Trust At Home
Your Mama Hasn't Lived
Her Life That Way
And Baby Won't Be Makin'
The Same Mistake
I'll Listen To You
I'm Gonna Listen With My Heart 
You're Gonna See It In My Eyes
Listen To You
Talk About The Lovers &
Laugh About The Lies
Listen To You

DANCER

1972 – Home Demo 
Recorded On Reel-To-Reel Tape
I Taught Myself Piano By Writing Songs 
And Learning How To Play Them
This Seems Like Many Lifetimes Ago
But 'Dancer' Was Only A Couple Of Years Later

THE NEXT DANCE WITH YOU

There’s Method To My Madness
No Sorrow To My Sadness
Babe I Know I’m Just As Sane As You
Sweet Songs Say I’ve Loved You 
But They’re Not Worth Their Rhymes
I Could Sing ‘Em Till I Saw You
And Babe I’d Still Be Blind
I Want The Loving 
That You Got Down In Your Heart
I Want The Next Dance With You  
Oh Lord, The Next Dance With You 

There’s Trouble In My Pocket
And Liquor On My Breath
The Women I’ve Been Seeing Ain’t Been Saints
And If My Thoughts Don’t Met Me 
My Loneliness Will Try
It’s Just That Hard 
To Keep Ya Off My Mind
I Want The Loving 
That You Got Down In Your Heart
I Want The Next Dance With You  
Oh Lord, The Next Dance With You 

Twenty-Two The Hard Way
I’ll Stay For One More Roll
I Think My Luck Is Turning For The Good
Take Me To Your 'Change Of Heart'
She’s A Friend Of Mine
Old Friends Make New Ones 
All The Time
I Want The Loving 
That You Got Down In Your Heart
I Want The Next Dance With You - Oh Lord
The Next Dance With You

Finally - It Appears This Little 'Ear Wig' 
Is A Not Eligible For #SoundCloud To Make Public
Thanks For Your Continuing Support

The Relentless Journey To Old-Age Is Such That...
I Was 66 When I Made This
I'm 75 Now & Have No Idea What's It's About 
Or Any Recollection Of Doing It
BUT, It's Fair To Say...
It's 'Based On A True Story'
Mine
And I Can Hear That I Had 
A Lot Of Fun Doing It 
-----
And My New York "Floor" Flaw?
After A Half-Century In LA
----
And Now In 2025 
This Sounds Like 
A TV-Show Theme 
I Was Probably Trying To 
Impress My Kids
One Is A Cellist & The Other A Former Bassist 
Who Loves 'Snaking' Bass-Lines
-----
And I Love The Way I Sing 'Ken"
And I Did Not Kill Him!
That Was An Exaggeration

WHO DROPPED A PENNY?

Time Was Once
I Remember When
It Was Now 
And Now Was Then
She Was Barbie
So I Killed Ken
Who Dropped A Penny?
Who Dropped A Penny On The Floor?
Who Dropped A Penny?
Who Dropped A Penny On The Floor?

WHO DROPPED A PENNY?

Photo  1971

241  - Two-For-One
Is Me 22 Years Ago - Age 53
Learning How To Turn 
My Office Desktop Computer 
Into A Recording Studio
Using #garageband & Working 'Loops' Together 
With My Neil Young Chops ES-330  
What I Remember Most About Creating It 
Was Feeling 'Iffy' About Writing Another Verse
Realizing... I Made A Pun & Gave A Piece Of Advice
'Do I Have To Do That A Few More Times?' 
----
Thanks 4 Listening!

241

I Woke Up Early 
And It Dawned On Me
If I Buy One Now 
I Get One Free
I Headed Out West 
With The Cavalry
Ya Don’t Mess Around 
With Destiny
Don’t Look Back 
When You’re On The Run
Ya Might Just Miss 
A Two For One

YOU’LL NEVER KNOW

This Was Recorded At Sound City Studios
In Van Nuys, Ca - Late 1974 - Early '75
With Frederick Ampel Producing & Engineering
Using The Second Moog Synthesizer 
On The West Coast... 
Moog's Were Rare Because
It Took An On-Site Moog-Representative
Who Was Both Keyboard Player & Recording Engineer
Wish I Could Recall The Dude's Name 
Who Managed A Million Patch Cords
And Played Some Lovely Keyboard Parts
I Play The Acoustic & Electric Guitar Stuff
But Cheers & Thank-You To Both Mr Moog & Fred Ampel
For All The Hard Work
----
I Like Earlier Mixes Of This With Less Moog
I Think We Got Carried Away Some
Because The Folk-Singer Thing Was Kinda Done...
But This Is As Close To A Final Mix As We Currently Have
------
This Was An Oddly Wistful One...
Mostly Blaming The Girl For Leaving
A Romance... That Never Happened
It Would Seem Like; 
Since This Relationship Was Not Real
She Had Every Right To Step Away From It
But Sure - It's Easy To Play Monday-Morning Quarterback 
With 50 Years Of Hindsight & Say 
'Rich, Wow, You Got That All Wrong!'
 
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

Go & Make Me Lonely
It Won't Mean A Thing
Go & Take It Slowly 
It Won't Mean A Thing
And Don’t You Worry None
Don’t Worry About Me
I Won’t Let You Down
I’ll Only Let You Be
And You’ll Never Kknow
How Good It Feels To Love You
I Love You

And Hey I’m Sorry If I 
Complicated Things
I Never Meant To Feel That Way
You Know How It Is
And Who’ll Catch The Next Plane?
I’m Not Really Clear
You Mentioned Something But I
Didn’t Really Hear
And You’ll Never Know
How Good It Feels To Love You
To Love You

So Can You Kindly Give Back
All That I Gave
You Took The Calendar
I Just Want The Days
No They Don’t Amount To Much
It’s Just My Keeping Sake
I’m A Little Funny When There 
Ain’t Too Much At Stake
And You’ll Never Know
How Good It Feels To Love You
To Love You

This May be My Metal 'Mona Lisa'
Now Set To The Catacombs Of Paris

The Anger - Originally Directed At Newt Gingrich 
Seems An Appropriate Response To Today's Modern Liars At Large... 
(Extra-Large In This Case)
-----
This From 1994 
Big Thanks To Jim Dean 
& 'All The Jimmys' 
Who Did A Fabulous Job 
Recording My Ravings 
Both Vocals & Electric Guitars 
& Bass & Electronic Drums!
I Find It To Be An 'Elegant Noise'
That's On You, Jimbo
Very 'Helter Skelter' Inspired... Sonically

YOU TOLD A LIE

You Told A Lie, Motherfucker
And It’s Comin' Back To You
You Told A Lie, Motherfucker
And It Doesn’t Ring True
You Told A Lie, Motherfucker
In Fact, You Told A Few
I Say, Bang! You Told A Lie

Is That A Fly In Your Pocket
Or Are You Just Glad To See Me?
Got Your Finger In The Socket
While Your Holding The Bikini
You Told A Lie Motherfucker
You’re A Total Fuckin’ Weenie
I Say, Bang! You Told A Lie

Please Disregard This Notice
if The Check Is In The Mail
If Not, You Better Turn Around 
And Try To Jump Bail
You’re A Total Motherfucker
And You’re Gonna Go To Jail
I Say, Bang! You Told A Lie

YOU TOLD A LIE

Thanks For Listening
I've Been Writing & Recording Songs 
Since Age 14 In 1964   
I Couldn't Read Or Write Music
So In Order To Remember My Songs
I Had To Record Them 
By The Late '70s, I Realized 
I Had To Be My Own Favorite Artist  
And Keep Track Of The Songs I'd Written 
Who Knew They'd Keep Me Company In My Old Age?
This Collection Is A 'Musical Diary' 
Of My Life For The Last 60 Years
By Clicking "Playlists" 
You Can Follow My 'Progressions'
By The Decades
