Sweet Lady Ann featuring The Peckham Poet

1 2 3 4
I will
Love her from the starboard
Love her from the port
Love her from the forward
Love her from the aft
Love her till she cries, no!
Oh, sweet Lady Ann
I’ll grab my sack and I’ll be
Back on the sea again

Tilbury to Boston, Rio, Buenos Aires
Honolulu, Sidney, Singapore, Bombay
Dubai to Port Said to Istanbul, Athens
Gibraltar, Hamburg and back to sweet Lady Ann

This a fantastic new version of our recent song with Omnicordio, this time sung and made awesome by The Peckham Poet.

The Peckham Poet does music, magic, comedy, poetry but not necessarily in that order, sometimes all at once. The Peckham Poet once founding member of The Influence now working on solo projects as well as collaboration groups such as Mead and Weed AKA The People’s Show.

Grooving Yet, Sugar?

Grooving Yet, Sugar?

This is just a groovy little song with no deeper meaning. It may make you move.

Grooving yet, Sugar?
Are we grooving yet, Sugar?
Don’t want to see you stand by the wall

Grooving yet, Sugar?
Are we grooving yet, Sugar?
I wanna see you rip up the floor

Camina conmigo, Mujer

Camina conmigo, Mujer

A romantic protest song or rock ballad with beautiful piano and accordion contribution from Omnicordio.

Camina conmigo mujer
En este bello atardecer
No sabes hasta cuando vas a poder
Salir y ver el sol caer

No te quedes adentro mi vida
Deja que te moje la lluvia
Siente el viento besando tu cara
Hoy cada beso nos cuenta

Porque la vida
Se ha vuelto loca
Estamos en las manos
De gente destructiva
Ay mira
Como nos manipulan
No sabes que es verdad
O que sera mentira

Ven pa fuera conmigo amor
El aire fresco es tu salvador
Él te protege con su esplendor
Que no te mate el temor

Porque la vida
Se ha vuelto loca
Estamos en las manos
De gente destructiva

Ven pa fuera
No escondas tu cara bonita

Camina conmigo mujer
En este bello anochecer
Si quieres vas a tener el poder
Hacer el malvado caer

La Hoguera

La Hoguera

La Hoguera is hot and sweaty accordion driven Cumbia. It is also the first new Single of our future (2021) album with Omnicordio.

Yo soy
Tu hoguera
Mi calor
Alimenta
Tus diablitos que te fuerzan a bailar
Mi luz hipnotiza no te deja parar
Entrega tu cuerpo que siga al compás
De mis llamas

Cuando sientes mi humo
Luchar no tiene sentido
No hay manera de aguantar
Suelta tu cuerpo a bailar
Suelta tu cuerpo a bailar

Suda, menea, quemate quemate quemate quemate

Sweet Lady Ann

Sweet Lady Ann

Something like Pirate Metal or Punk. I wrote this song for Bandlab’s Shantyonthelab seashanty contest, then it was enhanced by Omnicordion.

I will
Love her from the starboard
Love her from the port
Love her from the forward
Love her from the aft
Love her till she cries, no!
Oh, sweet Lady Ann
I’ll grab my sack and I’ll be
Back on the sea again

Tilbury to Boston, Rio, Buenos Aires
Honolulu, Sidney, Singapore, Bombay
Dubai to Port Said to Istanbul, Athens
Gibraltar, Hamburg and back to sweet Lady Ann

Suerte Miserable (with Omnicornio)

Suerte Miserable (with Omnicornio)

Another collaboration with the excellent multi instrumentalist Omnicornio. Originally conceived as a Piazzola tribute. Then it became this melancholic, drunken tavern, surrealist, heavy tango rock as he describes.

Será que escribo
Mis últimas letras
En papel empapado de lágrimas amargas

Versos mórbidos
Que me dictó la vida
Gastada sin la única mujer que quería

Camarero,
Tome todo mi dinero
Y no pare seguir trayendo los tragos
Hasta que digo adiós y agarro
El culo de la chica de ese cabron tatuado

Suerte miserable
Que me ha dejado vivir la vida
Sin tocarte, abrazarte,
Sin saber el calor de tu piel

Será que tomo
Mis ultimas copas
En este garito de pegadas dolorosas

De aca no salgo
En una sola pieza
Y no va a doler tanto que dolía la vida

Camarero,
Tome todo mi dinero
Y no pare seguir trayendo los tragos
Hasta que digo adiós y agarro
El culo de la chica de ese cabron tatuado

Suerte miserable
Que me ha dejado vivir la vida
Sin tocarte, abrazarte,
Sin saber el calor de tu piel

Suerte miserable
Que me ha dejado vivir la vida
Sin tocarte, abrazarte,
Sin saber el sabor de tu boca

Protest Song (with Jab The Caller)

Protest Song (with Jab The Caller)

A reggae collaboration with the excellent Jab The Caller reminding you to think for yourself and don’t automatically believe everything you’re told.

Call them Jab

People come closer and
Hear me out
What I have to say
you may not gonna like

This is concerning all
Of your lives
And it’s nearly too late
To open your eyes

You think you’re free
But it’s time to see
You are being played
All along the way

Your opinion and the
Thoughts in your head
Could have been planted there
By somebody else

But now I give you this protest song
Sing it all day, hum it all night long
Don’t let the system make you a slave
You are the master of your own brain

Now that you have this protest song
Pass it along give it to everyone
The sooner you start to disseminate
The sooner we can free those who relate

Bob Marley warned you about
Mental slavery
Yet your mind is chained
By marketing tactics

The leaders you follow
Will lie for your vote
Break any promise
For gain of bank notes

You trust your favorite paper but forget
The journalist must also eat
So does the cleaner, the driver and the editor in chief
You think your vote is free but look at the choices you’ve left with
The wicked rules over you by keeping you divided

But now I give you this protest song
Sing it all day, hum it all night long
Don’t let the system make you a slave
You are the master of your own brain

Now that you have this protest song
Pass it along give it to everyone
The sooner you start to disseminate
The sooner we can free those who relate

Gotcha

Gotcha

A funky little song, don’t look for any deep meaning behind it. Also available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube and a bunch of other platforms.

Gotcha
Caught you how you cha cha
Across my soul
Shuffling through my
Rhythms and my beats

But I let ya
Hell I even watch ya
Ripping up the floor
And I’ll jump right in
If I can’t take no more

This is not the night
I’m gonna worry
About virus spreading
Or the planet burning

It’s more like the night
When I rip off my shirt
You can’t stop me now
I’ll dance till it hurts

I saw ya
Deny if you wanna
I know your moves
You filled me with riddim
When you stole my blues

And I thank ya
Now I can boogie how I wanna
Drop me the groove
And make me some space
Coz I’m ready to move

You rocked my ambience
Kicked me in a trance
I really feel the ants
I can’t stop to dance
Rock me now!

This is not the night
I’m gonna worry
About virus spreading
Or the planet burning

It’s more like the night
When I rip off my shirt
You can’t stop me now
I’ll dance till it hurts

El hungarito va al barito
Toma su trago, toma su tiempo

El cubano y africano
El inglés y el italiano
Español y el catalan
Hace crecer la paz mundial

Vago De Playa

Vago De Playa

Featuring Omnicordio on the accordion. A bitter sweet song with a reggae kind of beat longing for the living the life of a beach bum.

Also available on: Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube, Bandcamp, Amazon and Bandlab.

Un día tendré la buena suerte de
Tener un trabajo que paga
También tendré ropa limpia
Y un cuarto con cama
Y como gente normal
Podré viajar
Algún día al mar

Y yo dejaré que me lleve la ola
No lucharé contra la marea
Esperaré que no se acabe la cerveza
Y no pensaré en esta puta vida

Y nunca mas me importaría
Ni trabajo ni ropa ni cama
Habría llegado a mi destino
De ser un vago de playa
Y nunca volveré
Por las calles me
Quedaré por el mar

Y yo dejaré que me lleve la ola
No lucharé contra la marea
Esperaré que no se acabe la cerveza
Y no pensaré en esta puta vida
