A 'cover' of a tremendous song by Jesus Oldman. The amusing dialogue in the intro, is 'taken' (shhh, borrowed) from Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse's very funny TV series about 'The Beatles'.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
A fantastic song by Jesus Oldman... from his album, The Show Must Go On. 2 years ago, he suggested/invited me to cover this fantastic song of his. At the time I wasn't sure that I was really up to it. Anyway, 2 years further on...I've decided that I am and that I should have a go...so I have. It's essentially very close to his version...apart from the vocals of course ... and the drums...I'm still an 'improver' in that department. This has been a lot of fun for me. You can't go far wrong when you've got such amazingly good material to work from in the first place.
Lyrics
I'LL KEEP LOOKING UP (c) Copyright 2012 - JESUS OLDMAN (studio chatter) "Turn your hearing aid up Ringo" "Hey, stop calling me Mingo" "Turn your hearing aid up Mingo" "I want you back in that studio pronto to finish off your new album" "Congratulations on your GCSE's" It's all rainy and the cars roll by Dark a day enough to make you cry I'll keep looking up For you keep turning up In dreams I've yet to find around I'll keep making up for time Keep shaking up the rhyme Keep looking for a sound What's all this about another day? Haven't I bled enough to hear you say? I'll keep looking up For you keep turning up In dreams I've yet to find around I'll keep making up for time Keep shaking up the rhyme Keep looking for a sound Superpower of imagination That's me Lucky a thing as you have ever seen Believe me -Slide Guitar solo- I'll keep looking up For you keep turning up In dreams I've yet to find around I'll keep making up for time Keep shaking up the rhyme Keep looking for a sound Tuned into the radio wave inside. That gave away the whole thing, you're my bride I'll keep looking up For you keep turning up In dreams I've yet to find around I'll keep making up for time Keep shaking up the rhyme Keep looking for a sound Organ bit I'll keep making up for time Keep shaking up the rhyme keep looking for a sound I'll keep looking for a sound I'll keep looking up Looking up Looking up, keep looking for a sound. "that did the trick"

Great version of an excellent song! I think you two should work together more often, you have such complimentary styles. Nailed that classic Brit Pop genre with this one.
