Hell'o My Dear Followers! 😈

Just a reminder that I shat out a new EP as ZyX Spectrum. 📺
It was made in about an hour because I had some free time.
On SoundCloud, each pseudo-track has its own artwork.
I’m gonna spam it a bit and then turn off the TV for a while,
because I’ve already watched all the seasons. 📺

But don’t get too excited ...
The TV is Still Watching You! 📺

Another Year Behind Us

Happy New Year song by Simon Oak, written at the start of 2023.

Lyrics

Chorus
There it is, another year behind us
Let’s forget the sadness, remember all the happiness
Remember those we had to leave behind us
Cheer up, I wish you Happy New Year!

Here’s to the days to come, joy and love for everyone
Rainbows to follow the rain
Tunes for a lovely dance, every day another chance
Sunshine and songs to relieve the pain

There it is, another year behind us
Keep doing what you do, forget what people think of you
Never let prejudice blind us
Stranger, I wish you Happy New Year!

Here’s to the hearts of gold, smiling faces, young and old
To friends we are yet to meet
Peace and food for everyone, study, work and having fun
And let’s save the planet for humanity

Repeat Chorus

Hoog In Het Torentje

Train song in Dutch by Simon Oak, written for his children in 2002. It’s about a little boy secretly driving ghost trains from a train station’s tower. Just before he causes a bad train crash, an old train driver saves the trains and discovers the naughty boy. Next they continue to do the fun job together.

Lyrics

Refrein na elk couplet, behalve na het laatste:
Hoog in het torentje van het stationsgebouw
Zit een klein jongetje en niemand weet dat hij daar zit
En in het donker als iedereen slaapt
Dan laat hij de treinen rijden
Tjoeke-tjoeke (4x) Hu-huuuu!

Maar in het huisje bij de spoorwegovergang
Woont de oude machinist
Die er al nachten niet van slapen kan
Omdat-ie geen treinbeweging mist!

Maar op een nacht stond een wissel verkeerd
En een locomotief reed toen rechtdoor
En in de verte kwam een andere aan
Over hetzelfde spoor!

De locomotieven reden recht op elkaar af
Het jongetje zag: dat gaat verkeerd
Als die twee botsen geeft dat zo’n harde klap
Dan word ik vast ge-ar-res-teerd!

Een paar tellen nog maar, oh en dan kwam de klap
Maar wie was daar? De oude machinist!
Hij zette nog net op tijd een handwissel om
Zo één die hij alleen nog maar wist!

Het jochie kreeg van de oude treinmachinist
Wel op z’n kop maar hij heeft er van geleerd
Nu zitten ze samen in het torentje daar
En er rijdt geen trein meer verkeerd!

Laatste refrein:
Hoog in het torentje van het stationsgebouw
Zit een klein jongetje met de oude machinist
En in het donker als iedereen slaapt
Laten zij de treinen rijden
Tjoeke-tjoeke (4x) Hu-huuuu!

Home Boys Home – Covid 19 Edition

Song by Simon Oak, based on the famous traditional, to remember the Covid 19 pandemic.

End of April 2020, we were very keen on keeping safe distances, especially from the oldies, but that didn´t stop us from celebrating my mother’s 85th birthday. Yes, that´s her, the dark haired lady, and that´s her true colour. She kept it till her dying day in June 2025. May she cycle peacefully in heaven!

Keeping a safe distance!

Later, in August 2020, safety measures were everywhere, sometimes a bit over the top, like on the empty ferry in Germany, out on the water and in the wind! Most of the time, we respected the rules, even when they made little sense. In spite of the restrictions, we had a great fiets holiday, crossing multiple country borders without problems, and I hope, without contributing to the spread of the killer virus.

Safety first on the Rhine Ferry in Germany

Here´s a home recording of the song. Please forgive me consistently singing the wrong words in the last chorus line.

Lyrics

Chorus after every verse:
And it’s home, boys, home
Home I’d like to be, home FOR A WHILE, and not a century
Between the devil and the sea we’ll dance attentively
Unless you want to lie in bed and live eternally

1. When this nasty virus came along, I didn’t have a clue
I went into the public house to do what people do
For laughter and little drop, it is my only joy
Tis what I have been doing since I was a little boy

2. Now the doctors and the nurses, the virologists
They are the best of human kind, fair play to their assists
I’d have died long ago, they know what’s good for me
At home I stay because they say it’s for our safety

3. Not a fan of politicians I hate the way they talk
They are afraid of standing strong, be bitten by a dog
The dogs indeed are nasty, but the expert is no liar
No fire brigade would like wait to fight a smouldering fire

4. Well I have a little garden and in the month of May
The grass is growing greener and I watch the robins play
The thrushes sing their melodies but as the evening falls
I find myself a-talking to the windows and the walls

5. Come the day that this is over and we go out again
My hair has grown an inch or two, the world has gone insane
I cannot hug, I cannot kiss, embrace my mother dear
And in the pub the barman decontaminates my beer

6. Let’s not forget the suffering, the sorrow and the pain
Of those who lost a friend and only memories remain
It is a killer virus, but we must defy the fear
As soon as we begin to live the end is always near.
