ORNERY GRIN
She's got that little girl smile
Religion's nothing more to her than if you would stay awhile
and with an ornery grin between that gentle smile, she'd offer hope
My cigarette is bent and hanging from her mocking smile
That I'd revise my fiendish way's I know would take awhile
Ambition plans concerning money, hardly seem her style
She's got an open tithe of loving
The way she dines on macaroni
Folds and bites at her bologna
Rocking gently when she sleeps because she knows me
I've got to hold it on, hold it in, never let her down again
Hold it on, hold it in, never let it out she let me in

Ugly Life

Keep in mind, all the funny neverminds upon a funny life of mine
Nevermind, the losing of me.
There it is, an otherwise demising dream.
I'm inclined..to letting it be.
And I confide in her and this is
oh how you see me
Lame, dead and mumbling..an ugly life
Oh how you see me
Do you know, the tearing of me.
In a kind of amber wavy way, It's so hard.
And of it all, I'm losing it all.
There it is, another time, alive another life alotted to me.
and I'm inclined to letting it be
And I confide in her and this is
oh how you see me
Lame, dead and mumbling..an ugly life
Oh how you see me
Do you know, the tearing of me.

"Everything"
(Learn to Shine 2001)
Oliver Moore
------------------------------------
I’ve given in to wandering waking gently from this pondering, of life.
I’ve strained to know a man I haven’t known in many years
I’ve seen those crazy years, of life.
Many things in life I’ve seen, which lead me from a cause of unseen faith in you,
My pain is here and now, not sleeping gently.
You are the everything of me.
Now once a lonely street I let the wandering of my shuffling feet return me to life.
A conversation with the snails, while leaving ever-lonely trails.
Confided everything to me
Many things in life they had seen regarding snail philosophy
And the meanderings of their life
And why the some things of my ever sluggish life,
Is everything to me.

Sacramento Way

I should have seen that smiling face
I hadn't realized the passing time
oh, the months are passing quickly
such and awful sickly
consequence which comes with age
you keep me wandering off of my open road.
She's on her way,
Motor home to Santa Fe
She'll take her time and leave behind
that Sacramento Way.
I send this note along with all my love
I hadn't realized it's how I feel
Oh, the words are hard to formalize
I close my lonely eyes in age
and she said, you keep me wandering off of my open road.
She's on her way,
Motor home to Santa Fe
She'll take her time and leave behind
that Sacramento Way.
I clean myself
I'll be myself
I'll overthrow this doubt myself
My spirit guide is leading me
from what I thought was bleeding me, My son...
My only son.
She's on her way,
Motor home to Santa Fe
She'll take her time and leave behind
that Sacramento Way.

The Oliver Moore Band Salt Lake City, Utah
The Oliver Moore Band relies on dark unique messages buried within it's content while snaring you with it's
hooks
When defining "tOMB's" genre, be warned: At first listen you might think that your toes are tapping to a corporate backed, non-political\religious\profane infectious pop tune. You would be wrong. tOMB's lyrics have bite and every melody demands your acknowledgement of it's balls.

The Oliver Moore Band recommends:
The Raven Locks Act 1
by Dirt Poor Robins
This album is pure melodic and leftfield. Lyrically, it's able to be pressed upon golden vinyl and sent into space, I have no doubt of this. But most of all, they are real. Like us. Creators.
