lyrics

I believe something a little crazy, a little out there
Inconceivable, inconceivable
I believe something, now hear me out man
I have seen saucers flying in the sky, flying in the sky
Cruising at warp speed, changing direction, then disappearing
Can't change my mind
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

I believe something a little spooky, a little kooky
Implausible, but not impossible
I believe something, open your mind man, truth is worth finding
If you've got the nerve, if you've got the nerve
We will go down the rabbit hole and discover worlds
Beyond your wildest dreams
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

Don't call me crazy, you're the one that's crazy
You could never believe the things that I've seen
A stable form of element 115
Intelligence far greater than our own
They come and beam you up from your home
One way or another I've got to know
Even at the expense of getting probed
I want to look them right in the eye
I want an encounter before I die

It gives me great pleasure to present this new collaboration with Rodolfo under the new name of 'Continental Collision'. I was given a melody, a title and the premise of a toxic relationship, so you’ll be pleased to know that this is a work of fiction as far as I’m concerned. Lyrically, once I found myself ‘down by the river,’ everything fell into place and the river also offered the hero of our song a chance of rebirth. We experimented with different vocal arrangements and it was agreed that Rodolfo would find some other collaborators to help us complete the song. A huge thank you to Cecilia and Gonzalo for those great harmonies and that cool funky guitar. As ever, I am indebted to Rodolfo for the great opportunity to work with his skills and imagination.

Take me to the brink down by the river. 
Take me there to drink the black water.
Take me there to sink, right down in the mire. 
Take me down into Hellfire. 
Take me all the way.

Make me feel the pain down by the river. 
Make me swallow down the black water. 
Make me feel each ache, each tremble and shake. 
Make my heart ready to break. 
Make it go away.

I gotta lead my life the way that I choose. 
I have got nothing left to lose. 
I need to start my life anew. 
I need my new life to breakthrough.
It’s just beginning and overdue.

Seek to be redeemed down by the river.
Seek to reflect in the black water.
Seek to find the meaning, straight out of the past. 
Seek release from all that’s passed.
Seek to find some peace.

Want some kinda future far from the river.
Want a future free from black water.
Want a life to live, free to take or give.
Want to learn how to forgive.
Want the pain to cease.

I gotta lead my life the way that I choose. 
I’ve got nothing left to lose. 
I need to start my life anew. 
I need my new life to breakthrough.
It’s just beginning and overdue.

A rain dance for the bush fires
A sun dance for the floods
A war dance for anyone    
Who doesn’t give a fuck

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
We may never dance again
It’s time to pick up that dam phone
If you’re a ’Strictly’ fan

It's murder on earth’s dance floor
 t's murder on earth’s dance floor

A shoot out at the oil coral
Sundance at my side
You know that he can bust a move
And he can  jive

Dance like no one’s watching
Dance so full of love
Dance those socks till they come off
Take off those kid gloves

It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor

Instrumental

Gonna  move your feet, gonna eat less meat
This dance floor needs repair
if ya wanna lift that glitter ball
Dance like Fred Astaire

and dance like no one’s watching
Dance with so much love
Dance those socks till they come off
Take off those kid gloves

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor

Instrumental

A rain dance for the bush fires
A sun dance for the floods
A war dance for anyone    
Who doesn’t give a fuck

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
We may never dance again
It's time to pick up that dam phone
If you're a Strictly fan

It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor

Squidly doot, snidely dat, hot dam

Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?

1.
I looked up to the sky this afternoon, 
The clouds were so ragged 
And there was even a half moon 
Peeking out between the two lime trees, 
I remember, I thought I would write a song about it 
But actually 

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

2.
I wanted to write about something completely different, 
Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?
But I had to postpone that because of the view 
It was so homely and beautiful and it was just not at all 
Time to have indignant and stirred up feelings and thoughts

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?

3.
In the meantime a bird crossed my view of sight
Passing from the right over to the left side
And snapshot-like 
i spotted it in front of the moon
Oh, as i looked up at the sky this afternoon…

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?…        (da capo al fine)

Hmm, wildlife markets... maybe? (ft Jay Kay)

Resung, remixed & remastered. A different mic and less effects on the vocal make a big difference. Also went for a more intimate delivery.

ALWAYS ON MY MIND

My love
I hope you hear you this song
I can’t be without you for too long
And although, sometimes you’re on your own
You’re always, always on my mind

My love 
When you are far 
I can see your smile
I remind myself of your touch
You’re always on my mind

When I get lonely
I close my eyes
I think of you and then I smile

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind

My love
Let me know you feel the same way
I wan’t to feel your love every single day
And although, sometimes its not so easy
Remember,  you’re always on my mind

My love, 
When you are near
I can’t lose, I lose all my fear
I know just how to begin
I reach out, I touch your skin

Into my arms, my arms my love
You’re my only love, you’re my only love

Yeah my darling, you’re my only love
You’re my only love

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind

Always On My Mind

Always On My Mind | Davy Vance 🎸

What an honor to be invited to collaborate with ace guitarist, composer, and producer Seagull to create a moving tribute and memorial to the people of Ukraine; those who have been displaced, those who chose to remain, those who have perished in the senseless, needless war, especially the children.  Seagull directed my attention to this very recently release video featuring Pink Floyd and Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox.  It is incredibly moving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUfVmtAvfdg

When The Light Fades (with Seagull, Clara, and David)

Dreams

The whole world spun away
The sound incessant
Perhaps I'm dying now
Not a thought I find unpleasant

I've hurt some people 
and I loved some too
Life is a steep hill
But we made it through

I knew I had done it wrong
When the earth became the sky
It seemed to last forever
I don't need wings to fly

I took my chances
Didn't hedge my bets
I played the game
I have no regrets

No regrets

No Regrets

No Regrets(Motorcycle musings....)

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. Mostly I write about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me. The (s) stands for many collaborators.

I encourage everybody on SC to listen more and be less transactional.
