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.

An ode to a 29 ys old, huge (at least six feet up to the shoulder…) Westphalian gelding i know and love quite (... :)...) well, named LKW (LastKraftWagen = Lorry)


09.11.2022: Lorry died today and now the ode also has become a requiem...
He's a legend to me, for he taught me to have no fear, RIP...


Ye’ Olde Lorry 

There they come
I already heard and smelled the engine
when they drove on the farm
They come with a bucket full of this Irish mash along
That they prepared at home, that they prepared with love
With carrots and some senior food 
That is always lifting my mood
I can feel how my teeth start to chew
With a deep relief…

I feel their unconditional love,
When she brushes my body so gently
And afterwards combs my long tail
Then she scrapes my hoove out
In former days the bridle was put on
Then i was saddled and we’d walk on a perfect riding trail
Then we  would just fly over the stubble fields
Passed shallow riverbeds in the glittering sun
I felt her taking deep breaths
Exhaling grief and sorrowness
Releasing all the locks and getting relaxed...

Now i’m already quite old
Since a couple of years we just do no rides together no more
I think it’s okay that way 
Strolling with my mates 
Over the meadows day by day
Malming grass and hay 
Sometimes we still go out for a walk through the countryside
Where the blades of grass are swinging in the wind nearby
Now and then I stop and gaze pensively at the sight 
Then she rubs her nose in my fur
And she is clapping me gently and both of us give a content sigh …

Ye' Olde Lorry

lyrics
-----------
...dig down get down
put your hands in the...
ground where rivers flowed beneath
cold streets...
unlock the sounds of life below

rivers flowed as your
dreams did roam...
under daylight and the streams
of conscious nights
now built above the blood
upstream in sight

habits deep under the moon
in tune to the
dark and light before...
we were the first born there were waters

you've got to move you've got to:
strike the walls that surround your prohibitions.

you got to stand you got to:
dance the steps the sky and mother taught you.

you've got to fly you've got to:
strike the urgency of burning.

you've got to move you've got to:
will the branches bend the family tree?

#197 Whereabouts Unknown Part !

It's a cops n robbers story.  This is a longer story so this ong includes the first half. We plan to come back to it some time for, as Paul Harvey used to say, "The Rest Of The Story"  Hope you like it! 

Lyrics;
  Put the foot On the floor
Picks it up goes Out the door
Gets away In the car
Drives all day travels far

He hides the face
Finds the place
Stays alone
Looses the phone
He's doing his own time
For his perfect crime
Whereabouts unknown

Temptation is a mighty sin
And someone's out to turn him in
A little bee inside in the hive
But honey's good for nothing 
if you don't come out alive

Put the foot On the floor
He gets the call Out the door
Got the badge Got the gun
He'll fnd the guy that's on the run

Hit the street
Be discrete 
Using tact
He gets the facts 
Bad guy gotta do the time
For committing the crime
His whereabouts unknown

Temptation is a mighty sin
Hands over fists of greedy men
With Intimidation and sound advice
And the Information sells 
at a discount price
The fox had thrown em off the trail
But there's a hound dog on his tail

Will he escape or go to jail
Somebody's gonna fail
Have you seen this man?
Do you recognize this man?
We're searching for this man...
