Sorry Simon


I won’t sing - I won’t dance
I won’t shake my poncy ass
Just to beg for you’re approval
Sorry Simon

I won’t fall - For your ploy
For your sick and twisted joy
I know I’m not your idol
Sorry Simon

And the birds - That I know
They all dig my rock and roll show
They don’t give a toss about you
Sorry Simon

Joey spins - In his grave
Johnny’s Rotten but he’d say
He won’t take your Filthy Lucre
Sorry Simon

I will rock - But I won’t roll
For your sick and twisted show
And I’ll never be your idol
Sorry Simon

With the kids - Back at home
Singing Ready Steady Go
We weren’t singing it to you
Sorry Simon

And you’ll never be our idol – Sorry Simon
You will never be our idol – Sorry Simon

A Fifth Of Nowhere

A fifth of nowhere - A fifth of nowhere
A fifth of nowhere

14 hours since I left my baby
And I got me a fifth of nowhere
Screaming down life’s endless highway
Head back, bottoms up, haven’t got a care
Righteous on a Friday night
Kicking up a fuss
Age-old songs tell age-old stories (and)
Each new curse strikes deeper than the first

14 days since I left my baby
And I got me a fifth of nowhere
Just another lifeless by-way
Head straight, seat up, trying not to care
Mindless on a Saturday
Thinking makes it worse
Age-old songs tell age-old stories (and)
Each new curse strikes deeper than the first

A fifth of nowhere - A fifth of nowhere

 

14 months since I left my baby
You’d think I ought to be somewhere
Spun my wheels, kicked up some dust
Head down, lights out, haven’t got a prayer
Some hits make you stronger
Some hits can’t be nursed
Age-old songs tell age-old stories (and)
Each new curse strikes deeper than the first

I don’t know what I’ve become
I don’t know where I belong
14 months and 14 days
Since I got me a fifth of nowhere
Still I think about it
If I could just kick it in reverse
Age-old songs tell age-old stories (and)
Each new curse strikes deeper than the first
Each new curse strikes deeper than the first
Each new curse strikes deeper than the first

A fifth of nowhere - A fifth of nowhere

The Cause

The dawn of another day
History will have its say
Blame from another way
Got us in these straights today

Fighting over king and country
Hoping to return
Essence of that pioneering
Burning in the cause

Of a troubled land
Get up now and make a stand
Change for the common man
Forge another way again

Take the reins and agitate
Those who’d leave us up to fate
For all the souls who’ve gone before us

Fighting for the

Get on up now
Fight for your country
Get on up now
Fight for the cause

Get on up now
Fight for your country
Get on up now
Fight for the cause

Get on up now
Fight for your country
Get on up now
Fight for the cause

The cause will change the way
History will have its say
The dawn of another day
We are…

Fighting for the cause
In a troubled land
Get up now and make a stand
For change is a come in’ man
We are…

Fighting for the cause
In a troubled land
Get up now and make a stand
For change is a come in’ man
We are fighting for the cause

Snocker Snog & Shag


Monday comes and I’m at the job
Forty hours with some bleeding yobs
Suppose that’s better than being on the dole

Put away some quid for the weekend run
Grab my girl gonna have some fun
Let’s get out and have a shout
We’ll get snockered snog and shag

Snocker, Snog and Shag
Snocker, Snog and Shag
I’ll go with you for a pint or two
We’ll get snockered snog and shag

I might have to stand for treason
But every bloke he has his reason
The only bird I want to fly is you

All my mates they look around
Never finding what I found
Let’s go run and have some fun
We’ll get snockered snog and shag

Snocker, Snog and Shag
Snocker, Snog and Shag
I’ll go with you for a pint or two
We’ll get snockered snog and shag

I’ve got a whammy bar
You’ve got a fuzz box
Let’s spend the night
Making Jimi Hendrix blush!

Snocker, Snog and Shag
Snocker, Snog and Shag
I’ll go with you for a pint or two
We’ll get snockered snog and shag

Snocker, Snog and Shag
Snocker, Snog and Shag
I’ll go with you for a pint or two
We’ll get snockered snog and shag

I’ll go with you for a pint or two…….
We’ll get snockered snog and shag

Penelope Jane


She lives on this world - Instead of in it
She floats through your mind - Like a spirit

Penelope Jane – She’s gonna change
Your point of view
Penelope Jane - It’s such a shame
But it works for you

The dreams in her eyes are disconnected
Imagining makes her unaffected

Penelope Jane - If I dropped your name
Would you find a clue?
Penelope Jane - If it’s all the same
I’ll take the truth

Look into her mind
See no ordinary times
Dancing through her day
Playing to amaze
She makes you feel like living

Disaffected, no respect
For anything mundane
She’ll look at you & say
It’s really all the same
She makes you feel like
Makes you feel like

Penelope Jane – She’s gonna change
Your point of view
Penelope Jane - It’s such a shame
But it works for you
Penelope Jane - If it’s all the same
I’ll take the truth

Radio Caroline


Take a look at who’s beside you
Never trust the ones that guide when
Everyone is looking after you

On the streets and through the air
Marching orders from millionaires
Tell me this is a nation under God

Just Listen Baby
They try to squeeze
Every time you try to breathe

Radio Radio Radio Caroline
Radio Radio Radio Caroline
I Always Listen For Your Heartbeat In The Sky

Shouted out with a breath of freedom
Clash of sounds to unite the kingdom
Spreading over waves and through the air

Tommy Vance and Robbie Dale
Manned the oars and set the sails
And kept the dial open to the world

Sod It Up


Sod it up – little darling
You’ve made a right fine mess of yourself
Sod it up – little darling
And lay it on everybody else

We gave you heart beats
We gave you seasons
We gave you reasons
To believe

Looking at your belly
Shaking on the telly
Begging us to love you
You gave us all a rise

Sod it up – little angel
You’ve made a right fine mess of it all
Sod it up – little angel
And watch your ratings soar

Driving super highway
Racing it with speed dear
Nobody could touch you
Did you fly so high you couldn’t see?

How you
Sod it up - Sod it up
Sod it up - Sod it up

Air your dirty laundry
Right out on the line dear
Hanging up your knickers
For all the world to see

Paparazzi princess
Rehab revolution
Taking us the distance
We can never get enough

Even when you
Sod it up
Sod it up

Speaking the Truth to Power


The negative of wrong is right
The negative of dark is light
The negative of freedom is control
The negative of you is rock and roll

Gonna shout you down
With my loaded guitar gun
there's hope in everybody
let it reign in the house of love

I'm Speaking the truth to power
Speaking the truth to power
Taking blood and toil
To ring your cash cow bell
You sold your soul
To make the rules
Think we'll follow you to hell

Speaking the truth to power
Speaking the truth to power
Gonna lay you down
To set with the rising sun
The future is unwritten
Our voice will rise as one

speaking the truth to power
Speaking the truth to power
Speaking the truth to power
Speaking the truth to power

About me:

Album Now Available on

I-Tunes!

Before there was Punk Rock there was Pub Rock. The singularly British rebellion to the mainstream corporate AOR and progressive rock blight coming out of London and California in the mid-to-late 1970’s. As a child of ‘hipster’ parents in Bristol England, Jonny Dongel got his first taste of this new, exciting music.

The bands in this scene were poised to produce some of the biggest stars in the first and second waves of British Punk Rock. The 101er’s gave us Joe Strummer. Riff Raff produced Billy Bragg. Kilburn and the High Roads were Ian Dury’s first group. Some of the artists, such as Elvis Costello, Sniff and the Tears, Wreckless Eric, Squeeze and Dr Feelgood went on to distinguished careers in their own right.

The times were explosive yet fleeting. As Pub became Punk became New Wave the energy and excitement of this era was lost to history. Until Now….. Jonny Dongel has reached back in time, while staying firmly in the present and created an album of melodic anthems that pay homage to the spirit of his youth.

"A Fifth of Nowhere" is a collection of eleven original compositions featuring huge guitar riffs, playful lyrics and sing along melodies like those heard in pubs across Britain for generations. A celebration of working class pride and spirit.

 

What The World Is Saying About Jonny Dongel

Indie Launchpad - Canada

Nearly every song on this album, has that boozed up, chanting, singalong factor. The last tracks that I can remember sharing this same quality were Oasis’ “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Wonderwall”. “Snocker Snog and Shag” alludes to many a favourite past time and really sets up the album very nicely. The title track “A Fifth of Nowhere” gives more of the same. “The Cause” with it’s high octane guitar and drums, takes a slightly different turn. With it’s slightly harder edge, it’s more rock than punk, but it still has that hallmark sound.

The Next Big Thing - Scotland
"JD has a knack of penning tunes that dad rockers like Weller and his ilk never came close to. Jonny is quite possibly a virtual pop phenomenon. Ostensibly an ex-pat from Bristol exiled in NY it really makes no difference. This Dongel fella has made an album that’ll have you grinning and turning up the car (or home) cd to tilt."
News In Punk - U.S.A.

After listening through the entire album, my favorite song would have to be “Sorry Simon,” the fourth track on the album. Not only was it the first song that gave me a taste of what Jonny Dongel was all about, it has an awesome guitar opening. Plus, with lyrics like “I won’t fall for your ploy, for your sick and twisted joy, I know I’m not your idol, Sorry Simon,” it’s a catchy song that forces you to sing along.

Rhythm & Booze Magazine - U.K.
Jonny Dongel's myspace page features a couple of attitude fuelled punky anthems full of spiky guitars, infectious vocals and the kind of drums that make you want to jump around like a loon.
MSTR - Germany
This is kind of an old school Rock..n Roll Punk Pop for my ears. It..s really so powerful, amazing production and good mix. GREAT ONE! Fighting for the cause - with amazing music! Wow!!!
OSOL - U. S. A.
The song starts with a fantastic sounding, simple, catchy, perfectly toned (any more adjectives?) guitar lick. Add in a driving drum line played on a solidly produced and very tight sounding kit and you have the makings of a hit pop rock song. Whats missing? A catchy vocal composition that enables the listener to sing along the very first time he/she listens to it. Oh wait, that's the next addition to this little gem! Sorry Simon: an alliterative two word deal breaker which I'm assuming is the title of the track. I was humming the melody and signing "sorry, Simon" as soon as the song ended. A+ fellas, you've delivered a 2 1/2 min. ditty that will burrow into its listeners memory as soon as it's heard, whether they like it or not. And I did. So there.

Album Track Listing

 

Jonny Dongel was born in Bristol England in 1973 to an English mother and Irish father. He lived in Bristol until his late teens. After ‘Sodding Up’ his “A” levels and any chance at a proper future he moved to London where he spent a decade as a working class hero in nearly every pub and restaurant on the west end. He also bought a guitar and started writing about his experiences chasing “birds” and exploring the old hangouts of the idols of his youth. The Clash, Sex Pistols and Pogues were never far from his mind. These songs were sadly only heard by his closest mates and a few neighbors in his thin walled flat.

In 2001 Jonny made a big move to New York City. The reason for this move isn’t entirely clear other than he was overheard one night saying that it sounded like a smashing place when Shane McGowan sang about it. Once in New York he landed a gig as the guitar player for the Brooklyn based band “Crashed Ashes”. This lasted a few years until he parted company with the band because “That wanker of a singer wouldn’t play any of my stuff”.

After this ill-fated attempt at rock stardom Jonny went back to his room and started writing again. The results are now coming to fruition with the newly released album “A Fifth of Nowhere”. Enjoy the songs previewed on this site.

Hi Jonny Dongel, Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet".  For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others. This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out.  During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace! http://www.myspace.com/thesweetband Also, check out our friend Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith's new band, Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats and their iTunes Top 10 Funk/Jazz debut release, "Meet the Meatbats"! http://www.myspace.com/bombasticmeatbats
