Song A Week 2022 - Week Three

As you can probably tell, I have been reading the graphic novel of David Bowie's biography and I've always been into writing spacey sci-fi tripped-out stories.  The Moonglow Dandy continues that trend...

Dancing with Moonglow dandy 
Quasars in his panties
Dreaming of a truck stop
That’s when his heart stopped
Believe me
Defreezer in his veins
Overheated once again
As the moonlight gently faded
space dust incinerated


He loved the planet Saturn
His jet fuel made a pattern
Searched for all the moons with caverns
Full of mystical beads
And tasty exotic Saturn treats
A detour on Titan would remind him
Of cocktails on Hyperion


On the harvest moon
Try to sing this tune
singing an ode to the Moonglow dandy

Moonglow Dandy at the penitentiary
Moonglow Dandy at the aviary
Moonglow Dandy tending his apiary 
Birds and bees birds and bees, through bars and trees
Birds and bees through bars and trees

Moonglow Dandy (Something New)

Sliding 22

The Greek Deities' First Spacestation

My Error

Another collaboration with Mark Anderson where I sent him the tune, and he then wrote the lyrics to fit the tune.

To fall in love
(Mark I. Anderson)

Listen to these words
Let them fall upon your soul
Like you’ve never heard before
Like you’ll never let them go
Tonight, let the fire burn us
Tonight, let two hearts learn 
This is how it feels / oh, to fall in love

Hold me close and whisper
The things that love will say
I’ll hold you close to kiss you
At the closing of each day
Tonight, is all we need
Tonight, you can believe
This is how it feels / oh, to fall in love

(Bridge)
The mystery of the ages – hidden in our kiss
Time reveals her secrets – when I’m holding you like this

Listen to our passion
Hear the rhythmic beat
Two hearts pounding faster than
Even time could keep
Tonight, we’ll just let go
Tonight, we’ll let it show us
This is how it feels / oh, to fall in love

This is how it feels / oh, to fall in love

To Fall In Love (demo)

With a thank you to Emma Gale for working with me on some of these lyrics.

I got into my car
A mixtape of love songs from age 17
I had always loved the country scene
I drove across town

You killed time
You were playing every love song we ever loved
You had always loved the motown hum
Wait for me to come around

I was standing in the doorway
Jumped the fence like I always do
But you already knew
That I had something on my mind

You opened the door
And looked like Saturday night on Sunday morn
You already knew
I had something on my mind

Someone’s gotta choose
It’s me or it’s you that lights the fuse
Some things gotta change
There has to be a day
They all  can’t end the same
Some things gotta change

I looked you in the eyes
I felt as nervous as the day that we first met
My words hung like ash on cigarette
I tried to say something

You looked me in the eyes
And it’s funny how forever makes them clear
You had told you that you dared me, dear
I tried to change the conversation

Someone’s gotta choose
It’s me or it’s you that lights the fuse
Some things gotta change
There has to be a day
They all  can’t end the same
Some things gotta change

And now I know you know
And now you know I know you know
I can make or break your heart
You can make or break my heart

Someone’s gotta choose
It’s me or it’s you that lights the fuse
Some things gotta change
There has to be a day
They all  can’t end the same
Some things gotta change
