From a while back, but it’s kinda come back into my life recently and I wanted to share it with you...

I don’t think it’s complex in essence - we’ve been friends for many years... since the dawn of time.

We do know how to operate together and I struggle with any kind of life that isn’t that, which sadly Capitalism isn’t...

I’d rather be an Anarchy Arsehole than a corporate thug.

If you’re ever stuck in life, just give it a listen and be your own friend...scale it down.  Make it simple...

Sometimes simple is the best

Be My Friend.mp3

My faith has run dry
It's the darkest of seasons
Doubt multiplies
Sabotaging my reason

I won't hold this back
I'm am stretched beyond healing
Sliding into the black 
In the absence of feeling

I have, 
traded all my senses for you
Walked upon the water for you
I have 
healed and fed the hungry minions
Yet claimed no right to absolution...

Silence rains, from the cloud 
That used to bear your name…

Each one, 
is just another wandering martyr
There's snake oil in the holy water

They say, 
the devil drives the hardest bargain
I have finally come to understand…

In a place, We all say:
"Why are we forsaken?"

Forsaken - Live Take (Writing Session) - 28th Nov

Images confound me
As I'm watching my TV
They say I can buy happiness, for a dollar, 53

If you ain't got the money, then credit is for sale
At a premium rate of interest, We can even send it in the mail

When you fail to make the payment
and your decadence explodes
Remember that's just Snake Oil…

We interrupt this broadcast
To invite you to invest
In another way of thinking
That won't leave you in a mess

We're trying to sell you something
That you might already have
But you're never going to find it, Looking in some other's  bag..

When you finally stop to realise 
That it's all another show...
You're already on the Snake Oil

So father please forgive me, I am failing to subscribe
To paying homage in instalments, when I can hear the millstones grind

It's a demon in the bushes, while the Devil pulls the string
We listen to this bullshit, Like it don't mean a Goddamn thing...

If you ever stop to notice you have everything you need
You wouldn't need to buy the Snake Oil…

Roll up! Roll up!
Roll up! Roll up!
We're selling you the Snake Oil...

Snake Oil - (Demo, Nov 2013)

Dedicated with love and understanding to Gemma Altoft for the beautiful thing that we shared that went so horribly wrong...It's upsetting to know that it was all just petty little games...



I am broken for the last time.
After this I can't take any more...

In my head there is a poison.
That butchers and sneers as it steals away all my control...

Even as the actors head into the sun...
You hope that they will meet again, after all of the meaning has gone...

We will smile and ride white horses
We will ride white horses...
We will ride wild horses, into the setting sun...

Petty Little Games (Demo - Dec 2013)

For Gemma, Forever ago... (Garage Demo - 2011)

Sleeping Through The Meeting (Garage Demo - 2011)

Don’t give up now
Don’t give in to the servitude
Hearts misaligned
In deepest depth of solitude

The call of the wild
To drag you from uncertainty
Battered and Torn
This hooded shroud of sympathy

Gracefully,
I decline
For you to rescue me.

Gracefully,
I decline
Because the fear has taken hold.

Furthest away
Entwined in all our secrecies
Bound to the flame
Of sweetest mediocrity

The fall of this child
Embittered by maternal need
Her love is reviled
When given inconsistently

So gracefully...

I Decline... (Demo - Apr 15)

Keep her warm, Keep her Safe, Keep her breathing
For I know that our fates are entwined...

By the threads, of neglect, we have nurtured
What once was, will now serve to remind

I sleep so lightly these days...
Each moment bound in brittle ways 
I dream of loving through this haze
She leaves me wounded…
….but I love her just the same.

Up above, She grows tall, She is freedom
That below, we may harvest of soul.

Breathing deep, We breathe clear, We breathe easy
We forgive, those that live, by control...

We are now bound in blood and soil;
This Earth divided, we will make whole

There is no other I recall
So fuckin' righteous…

…She will lead me to the dawn...

Safe, Warm, Breathing (Demo Apr 15 - **Explicit**)

Thanks to Rob Aarosin (even though he's a terrible person)

Thanks to Robin Timmis for Fiddle on "Breathing Desire"

Thanks even more to everyone who turned out and supported.

Live at The Cardigan Arms Leeds 22nd October '15

Kog Moorcroft Live - Cardigan Arms 15 **Explicit**

Kog Moorcroft is a Yorkshire based singer/songwriter who has been writing and performing as both a solo artist and member of noted bands, since a very young age. Coming from working class roots in Leeds, he has toured professionally across the length and breadth of the UK and is highly regarded by artists such as Alan Davey (Hawkwind), David Codling (Maha Dev – Quintessence) and Chris Britton (The Troggs) for his vocal talents, unique style, alternate tunings and his knowledge of late 60’s psychedelia and delta blues.

The songs are a bittersweet tapestry, delving into the dualities of personality and the darkness of the psyche, whilst at the same time reflecting the hope of recovery and the things that have helped and aided him in his journey.
