The second song to be released under the name ‘Continental Collision’ but this time with special guest and good friend Dave McKeown. Rodolfo first let me hear the original basis for ‘Boring Town’ back in June, yet somehow he didn’t sound excited about it. However from the first I knew it could be great. I was looking for the story in those two words as well as in the mood of the music and fortunately it came quite quickly and fitted like a glove. Singing this was a challenge for me, like everything we do, but it was exhilarating. I had introduced Rodolfo to Dave’s cloud and it felt right that we should ask Dave to help us complete the song. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with him again soon.

When I look around I see the light’s gone out this town,
Realising just a bit too late.
Streets have all gone quiet and feels like all the wires are down.
Tell me why I’m feeling in this state?
Not so long ago we felt that we’d be happy here,
Not just for now, but for always.
That’s all turned around now at least that much it is clear,
Not the old days, instead separate ways.
Like the loser on a game show.
Can you tell me where did all the fun go?
Darling without you,
It’s such a boring town,
Only coz you’re not around.

The bar, where we first met, is still there, though I never go,
Realised it’s lost its old appeal.
Crossing the park, where we might meet and stop to say hello,
Couldn’t deal with how it made me feel.
All the places we once loved I feel I must avoid
Not just for now, but for always.
I no longer know what I want, I feel I’m paranoid,
Not the old days, instead separate ways.
Like the loser on a game show.
Can you tell me where did all the fun go?
Darling without you, where did the love go?
Such a boring town,
Only coz you’re not around.

A Peaceful Song - OMCB

Written in March 1997.  The message behind this one is “don’t worry, be happy” although I appreciate that’s not always easy.  Listen with headphones.


Time and Tide


Time and tide they wait for no one
You know it when you’re melancholy
Oh so down and blue
So don’t fill your cup with sorrow
Nor lace it with bad news
Open up your eyes
See the brand new skies
Stretching overhead

Lips that touched the brim of knowing
What is good and felt it glowing
But never took a drop
You’re wanting something better
And hope it comes along
Remember time’s not tide
Once it’s offered you a ride
Won’t come this way again

It’s difficult to make predictions 
Based on what you think is true
Uncertainty prevails
Everybody feels like this
Each moment is a precipice
So step up to the edge
And when you take that stride
Spread your wings and glide
Let loose all the threads

When the moon pulls on the ocean
And makes you feel so melancholy
Oh so down and blue
Don’t fill your cup with sorrow
Nor lace it with bad news
Open up your eyes
See the brand new skies
Stretching overhead
Reach for them instead

No vocals yet, but they'll hopefully be in the box soon with Mrs Moag and myself.
Pour mes amis Francophones, c'est une reprise d'un "classique des variétés françaises", années 70,
le reconnaissez-vous ?

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.
