The Unknown Stuntman
02:45
|

|
Well I'm not the kind to kiss and tell
But I've been seen with Farrah
I've never been with anything less than an nine, so fine
I've been on fire with Sally Fields
Gone fast with a girl name Bo
But somehow they just don't end up, as mine
It's a death-defying life I lead
I take my chances
I'd die for a liven' in the movies and TV
But the hardiest thing I ever do
Is watch my leading ladies
Kiss some other guy while bandaging' my knee
I might fall from a tall building
I might roll a band-new car
Cause I'm the unknown stuntman
That made Redford such a star
I've never spent much time in school
But I taught ladies plenty
It's true I hire my body out for pay
Hey Hey!
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs
Blown up for Raquel Welch
But when I wind up in the hay
It's only hay, Hey hay
I might jump an open drawbridge
Tarzan from a vine
Cause I'm the unknown stuntman
That makes Eastwood look so fine
I might fall from tall building
So Burt Reynolds don't get hurt
I might leap a mighty canyon
So he can kiss and flirt
While he is kissing my girl
I'm just kissing dirt
Yes I'm the lonely stuntman
That made a lover out of Burt

Barton Hollow

I'm a dead man walking here
But that's the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that un marked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Please forgive me father
Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul won't take
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul

Flying on a free flight
Driving all night
With my machinery
'Cause I got the power
Any hour
To show the man in me
I got reputations
Blown to pieces
With my artillery
I'll be guided in
We'll be riding
Given what you got to me
Don't you struggle
Don't you fight
Don't you worry
'Cause it's your turn tonight
Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me put my love on the line
Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me cut your cake with my knife
Like a fever
Burning faster
You spark the fire in me
Crazy feelings
Got me reeling
They got me raising steam
Don't you struggle
Don't you fight
Don't you worry
'Cause it's your turn tonight

Motherlode
03:40
|
|||
|
Some rode in over mountains
Others rode in on the tide
All in search of their fortunes
Hear where the mother lode lies
Hear where the mother lode lies
When our feet are tired we're going to run
In this wilderness we have become Undone
Motherlode
Fevered by this land
Faith in God has ceased
Let the flames be fanned
Spellbound I am released
Spellbound I am released
When our feet are tired we're gonna run
In this wilderness we have become Undone
Poppies through their heads
Drunk off the golden sun ray's
Let this be my death, bed
I know what the Mother Lode, pays
I know what the Mother Lode pays

Blue Skies for Everyone
03:29
|
|||
|
Spit on the ground, hold your breath
try to scare to scare yourself to death
bury your bones under the dirt
tear your drawers and rip your shirt
stomp your feet in disgust
curse the grey skies if you must
but you'll find when you are done
the blue sky's for everyone
Take up the wine and break your heart
give up the race before you start
drop your drawers and roll around
burn your house right to the ground
go to sleep hit your head
scream until your face is red
but you'll find when you are done
the blue sky's for everyone
blue skies, setting sun
cherry pie, bubble gum
lullabies to be sung
blue skies for everyone
so get right down on your luck
spin your wheels until you're stuck
bring out the blood and let it dry
stick a big needle in your eye
dry your…

Fire and Brimstone

I had a dream last night
While I was layin' in my bed
And the whole world was standing still
And the moon was turning red
I saw a sign in the sky
"I have come to set you free"
There's a light, shinin' bright
Shinin' down, down on me
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down on my head
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down on my head
I looked around, I saw eyes
I heard a voice say, "Come to me"
I felt a rumblin' beneath my feet
And the whole world was shaken free
Then the sun was standin' still
Everything was dark, but I could see
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down on my head
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down, down on me
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down on my head
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down, down on me
I looked around, I saw eyes
I heard a voice say, "Come to me"
I felt a rumblin' beneath my feet
And the whole world was shaken free
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down on my head
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down, down on me
I saw fire, fire, fire, fire and brimstone
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down, fire and brimstone
I saw fire, fire and brimstone
Comin' down, fire and brimstone

Girl In the Sea
03:46
|
|||
|
We pulled up the anchor
Waving goodbye to the town that had cradled me
Two weeks now at sea, starting to get to me
I think I'm crazy
(Oohhhhh) There in the water
(Oohhhhh) I'm not scared, but I oughta be
All the legends of old, the stories they told
Schemes are for dreamers, meant nothing to me
Now my disblelief, lay smashed at my feet
'Cause I saw the girl in the sea
Back at the harbor
Still I am swimming with her in my mind
In my Davy Jones' locker
I'll keep my secret where no one can find it
(Oohhhhh) They'd never believe me
(Oohhhhh) I see her so clearly
All the legends of old, the stories they told
The schemes are for dreamers, sweet music to me
I'm lost in a dream, my heart wants to sing
All for the girl in the sea
Each day that goes by, each wave we ride
Seems to remind me it all was a dream
I guess my memory
Got the best of me
This time
(Oohhhhh) The sounds so familiar
(Oohhhhh) What could it be? (What could it be? What could it be?)
All the legends of old, the stories they told
The schemes of the dreamers, sweet music to me
I'm lost in a dream, my heart wants to sing
All for the girl in the sea
All the legends of old, the stories they told
The schemes of the dreamers, dreamers like me
I'm lost in a dream, my heart wants to sing
All for the girl in the sea

Shankill Butchers
04:21
|

|
The shankill butchers ride tonight
You better shut your windows tight
They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives
And taking all their whiskey by the pint
'Cause everybody knows
If you don't mind your mother's words
A wicked wind will blow
Your ribbons from your curls
Everybody moan, everybody shake,
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
Awake
They used to be just like me and you
They used to be sweet little boys
But something went horribly askew
Now killing is their only source of joy
'cause everybody knows...
[Repeat:]
The shankill butchers on the rise
They're waiting till the dead of night
They're picking at their fingers with their knives
And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs
'Cause everybody knows...
[Repeat:]
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
The shankill butchers wanna cut you
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
Awake
Awake
Awake
Awake

Over the Edge
03:36
|
|||
|
Flip the switch and turn the night on
Drop the needle on an old song
Break the ice and pour it my way
Turn the key and light the highway
Lay me down beneath the shadows
Meet me where the wild things grow
Kick the moon and watch it shatter
I don’t mind if it don’t matter
Hanging out
Hanging out over the edge
Endless lines of information
Change the words & change the station
Endless cries of complication
Is anybody even listening?

Virgin Mary
...comes on strong
Hold my breath the whole night long
In the place where I don't care
Virgin Mary, take me there
I'll take a chance and climb aboard
The ship that sails unto your shore
You always take the highest road
Always carry the hardest load
I'll take a chance and climb aboard
The ship that sails unto your shore
You always take the highest road
Always carry the hardest load
Virgin Mary,You Make Me Feel...So real
Virgin Mary, snake pit gravy
Only you know how to save me
Rope a dope and rub a dub
Wrap me up in your love
Virgin Mary, where are you now?
It sure would help if you could show me how
To make it through this night alone
All trapped inside these bones
I'll take a chance and climb aboard
The ship that sails unto your shore
You always take the highest road
Always carry the hardest load

Ornery Grin

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.

No Doubt About It
Lyrics by Ryan Lucas
Patience left me here alone
To work some backstreet corner on her own
I miss my baby
There ain?t no doubt about it
Karma is crazy
I have to shout about it
Cause she?s turning tricks to score another fix
Ain?t no doubt about it
Brother please turn away
There is nothing more that you can say
Trouble will always find me
There ain?t no doubt about it
Forget your tender mercy
And all you preach about it
Maybe it?s truth you seek
But the flesh is still weak
Ain?t no doubt about it
Patience is turning tricks to score another fix
Ain?t no doubt about it
And though my heart is sick
True love won?t ever quit
Ain?t no doubt about it
There ain?t no doubt about it
Ain?t no doubt about it

Bad Connection
Abbie Sea
you're looking for a girl
who doesn't step out of her place
well, I don't even know where mine is anymore
you just like the part of me
that doesn't have much dignity
but she doesn't control me anymore
I guess you just caught me at a bad time
I'm a little busy right now
lving' my life
you call and try to box me in
I'm having trouble listening
is this signal strong enough?
sorry we're breaking up
what was that?
I think we have a bad connection
I thought I heard you say
that I'm too bold
I hope that it goes through alright
when I say
I don't have the time
to do everything I'm told
you know
just so you know
I'm about to hang up
I think I've had enough
of your terrible feedback (get it... "feedback"...like on a bad phone connection... lame puns anyone?)
you think that I'll change my mind
Oh, but I've
got someone on the other line
can't you see that
baby, you've just caught me at a bad time....etc.(chorus)
am I talking loud enough?
we're breaking up

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.
