The, 'Lost song', from the London Aftershock (volume 1) album of 2024. Jesus Oldman wrote the brilliant music and lyrics for this song with the intention of it being included on my album. I somehow got distracted and it stupidly got missed off.

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 song that very nearly got lost in my archive of WAV files. Resurrected and now finally completed with my vocals and so on. A completed collaboration. 100 percent of the credit must go to JO. I only added some vocals and a 'flavour' of guitar along with his guitar solo. It perfectly fits into the theme of the London Aftershock album. OK, where's my multi-coloured psychedelic suit... I have to go on down to Carnaby Street ... "taxi" ... "where to Guv?" ... " Anywhere that's not square man" ha ha
Lyrics
I OWN LONDON TOWN I own London Town I'm out to have a walkabout I own London I like nice clothes, I'll do without Actually eating I like to make them turn their heads In London Town A matter of survival Though I'm dead on arrival Man I look fine, the best around I'm nearly fainting to the ground But I own London Town I perk right up at dawn I rise Drink the Coffee Go to my closet there it is Colourful armor It's where it's at, that's where it is And I feel fine Don't have it lying on a plate But I don't care I still look great I am the coolest cat around My stomach makes a gurgling sound But I own London Town Around I stroll around Around the round in Piccadilly I catch the eye of many girls Dressed up in won't he will he Some say you are what you eat I say you are what you wear Dressed up to the nines From here to there 1, 2, 3, go -Guitar solo... Around I stroll around Around the round in Piccadilly I catch the eye of many girls Dressed up in won't he will he Some say you are what you eat I say you are what you wear Dressed up to the nines From here to there l live my life in the here and now It works for me Don't know where I will be next year Please don't bore me Man do I turn their heads When I strut around around around A bit of slap and tickle A bit of share the pickle Swim in the Thames maybe I'll drown... I caught her eye, she's on the point ; ) 'cause I own London Town Na na na na na na na na na na na... I own London Town Copyright 2024 - OLDMAN/BRIGGS
