Not much time at the moment, 
so if you've never heard it and to (maybe) keep the SC mOag page going
I thought I'd 'recharge' this one from
https://soundcloud.com/the-acoustic-grill.

It's an LB GooDsoN song,
you can hear it in it’s original form here :
https://soundcloud.com/lb-goodson/casanova-by-lb-goodson

I love LB’s simple, expressive lyrics,
his killah melodies and kickass rock’n’roll...
He was kind enough to lend me a hand on this cover
with backing vocals and harmonica.

Thank you very much Leroy Buddy GooDson !!..

Whenever you think you might be dead
Whenever you think you might be dreaming
Whenever you think you're losing control of it all.

See you soon on the moon
See you soon on the moon

Go casanova go !

Whenever you think you might be dead
Whenever you feel just like a fool
Whenever you feel like surfing on a wave goodbye.

See you soon on the moon
See you soon on the moon

Don't need a rocket to get through the universe
Don't need a ticket for a ride into the skies
Just wanna hear the sound of time
Don't need a rocket to get through the universe.

Go casanova go !

The true story of CHRIS O & MOAG

[MOAG]
I’m on my own again 
Tired of pretending it’s ok, that 
you’re most likely on your way 

[CHRIS]
Babe you know I love you true 
It’s been one helluva a long day so
won’t you just say you love me too

You buy me bangles, diamond rings but
I just want the simple things under the moon 
like there’s no tomorrow

[MOAG]
Get off that blue trail to the stars 
I don’t like your friends nor their lalalalas 
You moving further makes me hollow 

You know I have waited 
Wasted time that you never updated 
Falling apart for the Queen of my heart

[CHRIS]
I don’t want no crown, don’t string me down 
Don’t need no fancy blings
Just gotta get out and do my thing 

This ain’t no tale about fame and glory
Much more like my whole life’s story
Oh how can you want me to let go ?

[MOAG]
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve known 
all along that I could never tame you
But who’s that guy in your latest song ?

Those tender words of love, they burn 
right through my soul, they grip tight to that guy 
won’t bring me anything but sorrow

[CHRIS]
The guys in my songs are always you
No matter what I try 
So get a grip and quit this wallow

CHRIS & [MOAG]
Don’t push Babe 
Don’t do me wrong 
[I don’t intend to do you wrong]
Don’t push Babe 
Are you that strong ?
[and I‘m as strong as the day is long]
Though I may not like you much today 
I keep crawlin’ back here anyway 
[I will be waiting for you here anyway]
Don’t ever say you know what’s true 
[one thing I know is true]
when you don’t even know that I love you 
[is that I love you]

Chris O & mOag - dOn't push babe

The previous version is here :

The swaying arms of love
Those arms that one dreams of
Have swayed so much it’s true
they waved a spell on you
They left the door ajar
They left a burning scar
Though now it hurts you so 
Let it go 
Let it go
Overcome the need to know
Be that cool guy on the block 
turn back a few years on the clock 
The chime of distant bells
saving a place for you in hell
Though now it hurts you so 
Let it go

What you did 
What you can’t undo 
What you hid 
What she always knew 
Words you spread 
Words you could not say
How she fled 
those things you tried to do 
to make her stay
What you prize 
What you can’t take to
What you have realized 
and all the things you really blew
That time you spent 
Those times you could not stay
They swayed away
and now it hurts you so 
though now it hurts - I know
Yes now it hurts you so 
Let it go 
Let it go
Let it go
Even if earth trembles below
Even if rock turns into sand
It cuts you then slips through your hand
A sniper on the hill
smoothly preparing for a kill 
Though now it hurts you so 
Yes how it hurts I know 
Let it go

I adore this song, and wanted to play alongside Brian Reeves aka ROCKY MOUNTAIN. True genius.
Thank you so much Gary https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs for letting me do that.
Written by Brian Reeves, August-October 1972, 
and first recorded in a New Malden bedroom, October 1973.
Thanks also to The Inconsistent Jukebox https://soundcloud.com/barry_snaith for giving us those swirling snaithlicious-bowiesque guitars on the outro. Cheers Baron ! 

If The Stars Are The Dreams of Spacemen

Knowing love as I do
Yes I’m frightened
Desperate gasps of conversation
Fears heighten
If I’m only the dreams of dreamers
Why am I in isolation?

Seeing life as I do
Yes I’m whitened
Seeking masts on horizons
Pains tighten
If the stars are the dreams of spacemen
Where am I in heaven’s tracing?

I am the hammer on closed doors and windows
Asking the question that nobody knows

Breathing songs as I do
Yes I’m lightened
But they’re only gaps in vacuums
Freak lightning
Inside dreams of dreams of dreamers
Outside schemes of schemes of schemers
Who Am I?

ROcky MOuntain w/mOag - If the stars are the dreams Of spacemen

MY HEART WILL GO ON (Céline Dion 1997)
Songwriters : James Horner, Will Jennings, 
Carmelo La Bionda, Michangelo.

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart 
and my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go until we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart 
and my heart will go on and on

Your Heart Won't Go On

Every night I scream I can't see you
I can't feel you, I can't go on
Far across the distance
Big space between us 
You never come, I can't go on

Near, Far wherever you are
I know that your heart is long gone dear
Nevermore will you open, open my door
Maybe you're here in my heart, but my heart is cold

Love touched us one time, is one time enough?
I gotta drive on
Safe to say I loved you, Polaroids I cling to 
Safer said I gotta move on

Near, Far wherever you are
I know that your heart is long gone dear
Nevermore will you open, open my door
Maybe you're here in my heart, but my heart is cold

You're not here, there's nothing I fear
Though I know that your heart won't go on Dear
You'll stay, forever away
Maybe your here in my heart, but my heart is cold

LEAVING
Oh I feel nothing
Oh I don't want to feel
If I hurt you
I would die

Let go
Don't be like that
Don't think outloud
I loved you too much
Now it's over
Will you be there 
when I'm talking to you
I look you're gone
I looked you’re gone

Oh I have goodbye 
Oh I can't stay 
If I could still love you 
Then I would say

Oh I am leaving

ON SHAKY GROUND 
It just feels so flippin’ cold inside 
despite the lights of december that are flooding the sky
Now, I’ve heard that you can choose to be anything you want 
a fluffy mouse, a killer on the fighting front
But whatever you think, do, hear or say
whatever the moment, whatever the space
you’re always gonna find someone to spit in your face 
and to push you right back, back into your place
So should you decide to walk alone 
just remember to take a heart of stone
well you know it’s like they say 
with a fistful of dollars you can fly
but with a fistful of dirt you’ll be able to look up 
and just watch them getting high

One more time ‘round
Once more unbound
One more dumb clown
On shaky ground

Striking gold with the new cash cow 
A king of fools but he’s making the headlines now 
Words are unchained, as others go down the drain

Brown shirts have been bleached to white 
How did we let them move on from our line of sight
Words are unchanged, like 33’s back again

One more time ‘round
Once more unbound
One more dumb clown
On shaky ground

mOag & Froxie - On shaky grOund

I wanted to make another song with Her Majesty The Blues Queen... then she posted  "Loco Howl"... I instantly loved it. The lyrics are "Chris Cool", I just moaged the track up a little... so here's another breathtaking episode from the true life of Chris O and Moag.
That "Steamin' Hot Mama" is on further tracks here : https://soundcloud.com/chris-okunbor

LOCO HOWL

Whoo Hoo Whoo Hoo Whoo Hoo

She’s gearin’ up to rumble down the line
Carriage is-a-rusty but her engine’s prime
Rollin rhythms make the dust clouds churn
Ah she’s a steamin’ hot mama with the hellfire burn

Hooter screamin’ wheels are rattlin‘
Shakin’ wailin’ out her pain
There ain’t no snow storm wild enough
to take the shine off this train
Lord nothing can take the shine off this train

I’ve got (she‘s got) the Loco Growl

You know this engine can shuffle slide and growl
The jellyroll blues with a loco howl
Rollin’ rhythms make the crankshafts turn
mmm mmm, ah red hot rockin with a hellfire burn 

See her gearin’ to rumble down the line
Carriage is-a-rusty but her engine’s prime
Rollin’ rhythms make the dust clouds churn
She’s a steamin’ hot mama with the hellfire burn

Lord... got the Loco Howl
I’ve got (she’s got) the Loco Growl Grrr
That train she rides got a hellfire burn
Got the Loco Howl Owww
I’ve got (she’s got) the Loco Growl

Whoo Hoo Whoo Hoo Whoo Hoo

Not saying that this is 100% autobiographical, but... 
Here's an alternative version with ALL SmiLes  : https://soundcloud.com/the-acoustic-grill/imaybesmiling-better

I MAY BE SMILING NOW 

Like a thing on a string
lay in bed wait for 
the clock to ring
I may be silent now
I may be silent now
This clock is running late
Miss the bus I have to 
be there by eight      
If only I could think 
like a thing on a string
Now under the tower
Goin’ up I could do 
with a shower
I may smiling now
I may smiling now

Go go go keep up 
that flow oh oh 
Gonna let them know
I can’t do that again
Row row row push for
that doe oh oh
Gonna let them know
that I‘m not one of them
As they think to thrill me 
that is when they kill me most
one day sometime when ?

Switch onto full power 
Wake up you’ll be 
home in fourteen hours
I may smiling now
I may smiling now
The clean machine could break
This job is giving me 
A killing headache
If only I could think 
like a thing on a string
Like a thing on a string
lay in bed wait for 
the clock to ring
I may be silent now
I may be silent now

You and me got the same disease
We're always feeling snubbed
But other people got other people problems
They don't think about us -We just got ourselves to love

But oh oh can't they see we're coming in their direction?
Woe, woe, what will be If we can't make the connection?

Nobody sees, they don't notice me
I walk among the dead
Those other people got their other people problems
They ain't thinking about me. 
They're inside of their own heads

Oh, Whoh, can't they see I'm shouting in their direction
Woe, woe, woe is me you know I need connection

The streets are full of buzzing dreams
a hive of blinding energy
stories walking on two feet
and every one a burning sun!!

We still got the same disease
We're always throwing stones
Too much thinkin' about other people's problems
But we still got us We don't have to be alone

Oh, Whoh, can't they see I'm shouting in their direction
Woe, woe, woe is me you know I need connection

Sent some guitars to the Arkestar https://soundcloud.com/ocean-of-tunes-presents... the Maestro came up with this lil' wonder :)

I WON'T LET MY HEROES DIE
If U want 2 bring my world down, U were never down!
Do what U think makes U right, your Heaven's nearer!
U might think U want mine, so lay it down,
'Cause you're never so wrong 'bout it, in your life!

Back up the World, it's gonna need a major clean,
Shut down the drives & we might just get out alive,
remember the Peace, remember there's a way outta here,
4get all the greed, regret all the wanting & needs.

U can rely, there's truth in my lies, there's truth in the words I've got 2 hide,
I Can't tell U why, I can't tell U how, but I can't be honest with U now.

Sun's in the Sky, I'm closing my eyes,
Closing 'em tight its my disguise,
you're hearing my sighs, you're asking me why,
I don't have the words to sympathise,

Was my life, once mine? being fed all the zero's
Alphabet still seems light, 'cause you've stolen my Heroes,
Patience now has run dry, gotta breathe 2b near U,
'Cause I, Won't let my Heroes Die!

I Won't let my Heroes Die

IT'S YOU THAT I ADORE
Pretty little plaything 
You walked into my door
Exactly like a hundred 
other playthings did before

You wanted to be noticed 
It's safe to say you were
Unlike the hundred other souls 
who for my love do burn

Of all the pretty creatures 
you're the one that I live for
There's no other way to say 
It's you that I adore

Transcendental beauty 
but made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Tell me that you feel it 
say that you’ll be mine
I’ll kneel before you on the floor
and beg a thousand times

Of all the perfect beings 
you're more perfect than the rest
There's no other way to say 
it's you that I love best

Transcendental beauty 
But made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

A ton of fun, thanks Steve, Mark and Rob [ASW] for making it happen.
The Lenny in question is LENNY BRUCE https://soundcloud.com/a-saner-world/lenny-1

LENNY      
There's a row of faces
yet not a single smile
coz if you're going to die then go in style

They're waiting for a stumble
they're waiting for the choke
they're waiting for another dirty joke

And there's nothing we could do
and Lenny should know better
and if he's going down
we're going down together
and i am just like him
'cause i can't keep my mouth shut
now where do we begin
now Lenny's gone?

It's time to pull the ripcord
and find the safety net
it's never 'what you give is what you get'

They'll put you out of action
push you 'til you break
when all you did was give their world a shake

Deep down inside he's just the same as us
who knew that what he said was dangerous
we think we've all got a new song to sing
YOU'VE GOT THE MICROPHONE SO SAY SOMETHING...

DON'T PUSH BABE
I’m on my own again 
Tired of pretending it’s ok, that 
you’re most likely on your way

Babe you know I love you true 
It’s been one helluva a long day so
won’t you just say you love me too

You buy me bangles, diamond rings but
I just want the simple things under the moon 
like there’s no tomorrow

Get off that blue trail to the stars 
I don’t like your friends nor their lalalalas 
You moving further makes me hollow

You know I have waited 
Wasted time that you never updated 
Falling apart for the Queen of my heart

I don’t want no crown, don’t string me down 
Don’t need no fancy blings
Just gotta get out and do my thing

This ain’t no tale about fame and glory
Much more like my whole life’s story
Oh how can you want me to let go ?

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve known 
all along that I could never tame you
But who’s that guy in your latest song ?

Those tender words of love, they burn 
right through my soul, they grip tight to that guy 
won’t bring me anything but sorrow

The guys in my songs are always you
No matter what I try 
So get a grip and quit this wallow

Don’t push Babe 
Don’t do me wrong 
[I don’t intend to do you wrong]
Don’t push Babe 
Are you that strong ?
[and I‘m as strong as the day is long]
Though I may not like you much today 
I keep crawlin’ back here anyway 
[I will be waiting for you here anyway]
Don’t ever say you know what’s true 
[one thing I know is true]
when you don’t even know that I love you 
[is that I love you]

These are the things that lovers do
These are the things that lovers do
These things I used to do with you

He speaks words only she can hear
She whispers back gently to his ear
They don’t mind that crowd they're on their own
He kisses her neck breathes her cologne
She smiles and puts her hand 
into his and squeezes untill it's blue
Silly little things that lovers do
 
These are the things that lovers do
These are the things that lovers do
These things I used to do with you
 
He's biting her lips she seems to be
In heaven eyes shut what does she see
Now they both laugh as if to say 
“Good morning to you beautiful day”
As dawn shows it's brow they get into 
the cab they had hailed it's 5.02
Just some of the things that lovers do
 
So when we said our love is true
You could not believe it like I do
Honey don't you believe like I do ?
 
Love love love I do
Love love love don't you ?
What if we just lived again ?
I'D MAKE YOU HAPPY THEN
Love love love I do
Love love love don't you too ?

Oh oh it’s time you knew
The promise for change
that was in your range

Who were you
Oh oh my Maraboo ?..
The question could trace
a scar on my face
You gave no clue

Your voodoo
Oh oh my Maraboo

this time I play with you
Clever though you seem
for all that self esteem
Now do you look into this mirror
no-one there ? - how cruel but 
no-one even cares
to come to your rescue

All those days gone

It’s time you knew
Preach now where to

Now I’ve caught you
Oh oh sweet kangaroo
You’re not what you claim
You’re a fucking shame

The swaying arms of love
Those arms that one dreams of
Have swayed so much it’s true
they waved a spell on you
They left the door ajar
They left a burning scar
Though now it hurts you so 
Let it go 
Let it go

Overcome the need to know
Be that cool guy on the block 
turn back a few years on the clock 
The chime of distant bells
saving a place for you in hell
Though now it hurts you so 
Let it go 

What you did 
What you can’t undo 
What you hid 
What she always knew 
Words you spread 
Words you could not say
How she fled 
those things you tried to do 
to make her stay
What you prize 
What you can’t take to
What you have realised 
and all the things you really blew
That time you spent 
Those times you could not stay
They swayed away
and now it hurts you so 
though now it hurts - I know
and now it hurts you so 
Let it go 
Let it go
Let it go

Even if earth trembles below
Even if rock turns into sand
It cuts you then slips through your hand
The sniper on the hill
smoothly preparing for a kill 
Though now it hurts you so 
Yes how it hurts I know 
Let it go

Lyrics & Music by Madonna/Mirwais Ahmadzaï (2000)

Hey, Mr DJ put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby

Do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like to boogie woogie
do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like my dancing?

Hey Mr. DJ put a record on 
I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop 
it's gonna drive me crazy

Music, music
Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Don't think of yesterday 
and I don't look at the clock
I like to boogie woogie
It's like ridin' on the wind 
and it never goes away
But she's everything I'm in 
got to have it everyday

Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Hey Mr. DJ

Do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like to boogie woogie 
do you like my dancing

Hey Mr. DJ put a record on 
I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop 
it's gonna drive me crazy

Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Music makes the people come together
Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Thank you Jenny and Kim for lending me your sweet voices :) :) xx

Do you receive what they say ?
Would you believe it all anyway ?
Through those eyes, do you realize 
it’s me ?

Do you receive what they say ?
They say it’ never all pink, all grey
Colour-blind, help me please to find
it’s me...

You take it, don’t choose it
You learn how to use it
You try not to lose it

Do  different stories bloom ?
In that mind, do you walk from this room ?
Tell me the tale of the blue whale
it’s me


Sweet darling Seventeen
were you keen, did you have youthful dreams
or did you think that this life would stink
it’s me

You take it, don’t choose it
You learn how to use it
You try not to lose it

One spark outrun
There goes the sun
Now things are done
Let’s all go and have some fun

Do you receive what they say ?
They say it’s never all pink, all grey
They I guess, most surely know less
than me

mOag - it's me

Bad keys, shaky shakers, 
acoustic and tremolo guitars... 
I try to not grill ALL of these ingredients
ALL of the time... but it’s hard.
