LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU ARE (words & music by ©Ike Moriz, 25.04.2015)

At first living with you was so romantic, Sunsets, harbour lights and fishing boats. We would stroll the beach, it was gigantic, Magic views, whales, dolphins and Mount Rhodes.

LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU AREYOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGARKNOCK ON WOOD AND FIND A FOUR LEAF CLOVERLUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU AREYOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGARLEAVE OUR ‚HOOD’ CAUSE THIS ROMANCE IS OVER

You do your smelly business in the night when the rest of us is all sleeping tight. You wake our children in the early morning With headaches, nausea, red eyes: sleep deprived!

LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU AREYOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGARKNOCK ON WOOD AND FIND A FOUR LEAF CLOVERLUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU AREYOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGARLEAVE OUR ‚HOOD’ CAUSE THIS ROMANCE IS OVER

Your had your chance this town’s given you notice. Yet you persist that there’s nothing wrong. Tried to pay us off, confuse us, divert the focus: Your work here is done!

Lyrics:
Dangerous Rhymes
(words & music by Eike Moriz)

Mainstream-true is like a colour;
A colour that couldn’t get any duller,
And yet it distracts us so
Cause its everywhere, everywhere we go.

There’re no more dangerous rhymes
In these dangerous times
'Cause danger is all we breed

Hold my hand, this village’s getting smaller.
The thugs who run this world are getting taller.
And you distract me so,
And you’re everywhere,
Everywhere I go.

There’re no more dangerous rhymes
In these dangerous times
'Cause danger is all we breed

You’ve had your chance, earth’s given notice.
Yet you persist that there’s nothing wrong.
Tried to pay us off, confuse us, divert the focus.
Your work here is done!

There’re no more dangerous rhymes
In these dangerous times
'Cause danger is all we breed
There’re no more dangerous rhymes
In these dangerous times
'Cause danger is all we breed

There’re no more dangerous rhymes
In these dangerous times
'Cause danger is all we breed
There’re no more dangerous rhymes
In these dangerous times
'Cause danger is all we breed

"The sun's a different colour
Flocks of birds bolting away
Hot dry breeze - burning eyes
Clouds of smoke eat the light of day
Ashes in the air
Dogs barking, hearts filled with fear
Destruction, sirens and despair
Praying for rain, holding back the tears
Heroes in red - Draw a line in the sand
Heroes in red - Taking a stand / Together we stand
Heroes in red - lives on the line
Heroes in red – This Is The Time
Blaze of fire - rising at dawn
Raging fire - fueled by the storm
We won't tire - no time to mourn
Fight fire with fire - heroes are born...

Lyrics:
All Around the World
(Words and Music by Ike Moriz)

We travel all around the world –
Trying so hard just to find a place to start.
We travel all around the world –
Only to find that place right here back at the start.

And even though we know we're in no shape to go!
Let’s go all around the world - all around the world
And even though we know we got no place to go!
Let’s go all around the world - all around the world

We travel all around the world –
Trying so hard just to find the cash to buy happiness.
We travel all around the world –
Just to find: shiny sparkling emptiness.

You travel all around the world –
Trying so hard to outrun all this fear.
You travel all around the world –
Just to find:
To be able to run you gotta learn how to walk
With these demons inside. With these demons inside!
With these demons inside! With these demons inside!
With these demons!

And even though we know we're in no shape to go!
Let’s go all around the world - all around the world!
And even though we know we got no place to go!
Let’s go all around the world - all around the world!
And even though we know we're in no shape to go!
Let’s go all around the world - all around the world!
And even though we know we got no place to go!
Let’s go all around the world - all around the world!

Let’s go all around the world - all around the world!
Let’s go all around the world - all around the world!
Let’s go all around the world - all around the world!

Lyrics:
Mirrors & Shade
(Words & music by Ike Moriz)

The grin on my face ties me over the days without you
I stay out of trouble while I'm seeing double
It makes me scream inside

All this pain just keeps on growing
In my mind: mirrors and shade (mirrors and shade)
All this pain just keeps on growing
In my mind: mirrors and shade (mirrors and shade)

Life's smell's an intrusion
Raised and doped with illusion
Download god
I know I'm in trouble when I'm seeing double
Come on, make me scream

All this pain just keeps on growing
In my mind: mirrors and shade (mirrors and shade)
All this pain just keeps on growing
In my mind: mirrors and shade (mirrors and shade)

All this pain just keeps on growing
In my mind: mirrors and shade (mirrors and shade)
All this pain just keeps on growing
In my mind: mirrors and shade (mirrors and shade)

Mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade
Oh, mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade

Mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade
Mirrors and shade

Lyrics:
I Feel Real
(words and music by ©2005 Ike Moriz)

I can see your face
I can see your smile
I can see your style

Crawling on your knees through the desert sand
Your dress is torn and blood on your hand
The Southern Cross
A giant tower of light
Your silhouette, your laughter
Then your bite

I feel real
I feel real
When all is gone
All is Won
I feel real
I feel real
When all is gone
All is Won

Burning all my pictures, books and things that I took
Kick the screen right through the wall
The seventh year ends right here, right now
Won't wait for someone else to make the call

Dehydration is all that can heal you know
High noon, run up the hill and call god from the peak

I feel real
I feel real
When all is gone
All is Won
I feel real
I feel real
When all is gone
All is Won

I feel real
I feel real
When all is gone
All is Won

When all is gone
Then all is Won
When all is gone
Then all is one

Lyrics:

Play Me
(words and music by Ike Moriz)
Have you laughed your laughs my friend?
Will you ever fall in love again?
And crumble in his hands
And crumble in her hands
Do you understand?

I want you to play me (Play you, Play me, Play you, Play me)
I want you to play me (Play you, Play me, Play you, Play me)
I want you to betray me and then blame me but
Stay with me just today

(Oh ooh oh ooh oh oh ooh ooh ohh ohh)
(Oh ooh oh ooh oh oh ooh ooh ohh ohh)

That touch of your hand - so close – too close
That glow in your eye - so close – too close
I could never tell - If it was me who fell
Come close – so close
I could never tell – who dragged who to hell
It was close – too close

I want you to play me (Play you, Play me, Play you, Play me)
I want you to play me (Play you, Play me, Play you, Play me)
I want you to betray me and then blame me but
Stay with me, stay, stay

Have you laughed your laughs my friend?
Will you ever fall in love again?
And she crumbles in his hands
And she crumbles in her hands
You understand

I want you to play me (Play you, Play me, Play you, Play me)
I want you to play me (Play you, Play me, Play you, Play me)
I want you to betray me and then blame me but
Stay with me just today

(Oh ooh oh ooh oh oh ooh ooh ohh ohh)
(Oh ooh oh ooh oh oh ooh ooh ohh ohh)

Ike Moriz - LUCKY STAR AINT WHAT YOU ARE (unplugged)

Ike Moriz 2015-04-25 | Protest song for Fresh Air for Hout Bay (www.smellsfishy.co.za)
©Ike Moriz 2015

This morning at 1.30am our whole family was once again awoken by the noxious smell of our local fish-meal and fish-oil factory in Hout Bay. Our little ones were complaining about headaches, nausea and red, itchy eyes (as did we). It's not easy to describe the anger and frustration that we felt (this has happened countless times in the recent past) and all our efforts to reason with the owners of the factory have failed - in their eyes all is as it should be. After a sleepless night, I decided to write this song and simply recorded it now on my phone to give voice to not only our anger but to all those affected here in Hout Bay (over a 1100 people have already signed an AVAAZ petition, thousands have joined our Facebook group and our Fb page has over 1000 likes too - we only started it last August). Frustration rises with every time this happens and I feel that this antisocial public nuisance by the factory (Oceana aka Lucky Star) violating our constitutional rights is no longer endurable. Something needs to change! We are very concerned for our health and well-being!! Please help!!!!! Fresh Air For Hout Bay!!! FAHB

Words to this song (written this morning by http://www.IkeMoriz.com :

LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU ARE
(words & music by ©Ike Moriz, 25.04.2015)

V1) At first living with you was so romantic,
Sunsets, harbour lights and fishing boats.
We would stroll the beach, it was gigantic,
Magic views, whales, dolphins and Mount Rhodes.

CH) LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU ARE
YOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGAR
KNOCK ON WOOD AND FIND A FOUR LEAF CLOVER
LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU ARE
YOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGAR
LEAVE OUR ‚HOOD’ CAUSE THIS ROMANCE IS OVER

V2) You do your smelly business in the night
when the rest of us is all sleeping tight
You wake our children in the early morning
With headaches, nausea, red eyes: sleep deprived!

CH) LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU ARE
YOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGAR
KNOCK ON WOOD AND FIND A FOUR LEAF CLOVER
LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU ARE
YOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE A FISH CIGAR
LEAVE OUR ‚HOOD’ CAUSE THIS ROMANCE IS OVER

Your had your chance this town’s given you notice
Yet you persist that there’s nothing wrong
Tried to pay us off, confuse us, divert the focus
Your work here is done!

CH) LUCKY STAR AIN’T WHAT YOU ARE...

Song Lyrics:
SIREN TERPSICHORE
(Words & Music by Eike Moriz)

I wanna see you in the night -
When the stars shine all so bright.
And in your eyes reflects the light -
Its magic has me mesmerized,
I wanna see you in the night.

Ev'ry time you hold me tight -
'Neath the cover of midnight,
Skin glistening in soft moonlight -
Its spell has me mesmerized,
I wanna see you in the night.

And when I look into your angel eyes,
All the world seems to be in disguise:
Oceans of rainbow butterflies --
And their weightless 'lover's dance' in the sky.

Soon the red of dawn will rise -
And you & I will close our eyes.
Escape together from the light -
Until we meet again tonight.
I wanna see you in the night.

And when I look into your angel eyes,
All the world seems to be in disguise:
Oceans of rainbow butterflies --
And their weightless 'lover's dance' in the sky.

Soon the red of dawn will rise -
And you & I will close our eyes.
Escape together from the light -
Until we meet again tonight.
I wanna see you in the night.

Song Lyrics:
ANGIE BLUE
(Words & Music by Eike Moriz)

Every Sunday afternoon
You curl up crying in the gloom.
I wish I had a single clue
Of what to do, to do with you?

A twilight world out of the blue,
And still no single word from you.
Tears keep falling midnight blue
What's left for me to do with you?

Oh, my lovely 'Angie Blue',
Your smile just lights up any room,
And I believe dreams can come true
For me and you, oh, 'Angie Blue'

I know I should have come true
And told you what I feel for you.
Stuck on foolish points of view
I never told you 'I love you'.

Let's watch the sunset in Waterloo,
And take a voyage on the QM II.
Smile at strangers on the London tubes,
And jump the queue into the zoo.

Oh, my lovely 'Angie Blue',
Your smile just lights up any room,
And I believe dreams can come true
For me and you, oh, 'Angie Blue'

(OH, ANGIE-BLUE, BLUE, BLUE) x3
I LOVE YOU, oh 'Angie Blue'

Song Lyrics:
AUTUMN MOON
(Words & Music by Eike Moriz)

When I first saw you -- all the world felt anew,
Deep in my heart I just knew.
When you put your hands in mine -
Shivers run down my spine,
The days begin to shine.

All my life I was sleeping,
My love for you I was keeping.
Now I'm awake as can be.

All the stars are aligning,
Just for us they are shining - as I sing this tune.
And your lips meet mine under a new autumn moon.

All my life I was sleeping,
My love for you I was keeping.
Now I'm awake as can be.

All the stars are aligning,
Just for us they are shining - as I sing this tune.
And your lips meet mine under a new autumn moon.
And your lips meet mine under a new autumn moon.

Ike Moriz - Cest Si Bon (album sampler)

Ike Moriz 2011-03-19 | This is a sampler of Ike Moriz's 2011 Jazz/Swing album "C'est Si Bon". Hear Ike's songs from his 10th studio album release and see pictures from his music career as well as some of his original photography.

Press release Feb 2011:

Ike Moriz is starting 2011 with a bang! "South Africa's Tony Bennett" (Full Circle) is bringing out a brand new 15 track swing album, his 10th studio album. It features South African guitarist Morné Van Der Merwe, Navy big band leader Willie Van Zyl on clarinet & saxophone as well as A. McPike on keys (responsible for arrangements).

The fresh new CD has a distinctive minimalist feel to it, thriving on Ike's shining, full-bodied, smooth and diverse vocals. It contains many classic hits from the swing genre, including 4 songs with French lyrics: La Mer, Les Feuilles Mortes, Hymn A L'Amour and the title track C'est Si Bon.

A sound feast from the southern most point of Africa worthy of exploration.
"The rich resonance of his voice makes Michael Buble's seem rather thin... Comparisons with the great Tony Bennett are inevitable, Ike Moriz performing swing is that good!" (FULL CIRCLE)

SA'S OWN INDIE-POP IDOL (The Citizen)
"His rock/indie sound is acoustic and edgy but still made for easy listening!" (Cosmopolitan)

"..This cat writes a fine tune. Listen to it when wearing velvet and drinking martinis!" (FHM)
