Re: Down By The Ocean
Song Information
"In '95, Duff and me recorded songs for the band. We made a tape that went nowhere. Then, a couple of months ago I have a message on my answering machine: 'Yo! It's Axl, I need a copy of the songs that you did.' There was one called 'Down by the Ocean' or 'Down by the Sea', they may have used it, I haven't come back to know nothing." (Izzy, Popular Magazine, 2001)
Q: Axl, here's a list of rumored song titles. Can you tell us which ones are bogus and which ones are real?
Ides Of March ('98), Oklahoma ('98), Atlas Shrugged ('99), Closing In On You ('99), Cock-A-Roach Soup ('99), Friend Or Foe ('99), Hearts Get Killed ('99), No Love Remains ('99), Oh My God ('99), Something Always ('99), Suckerpunched ('99), Zip It ('99), Silkworms ('00), Down By The Ocean ('01), Leave Me Alone ('02), Seven ('02), The General ('02), Thyme ('02), Quick Song ('05), Zodiac ('05), Motormouth ('06), We Were Lying ('06)

Re: Down By The Ocean
Hmmm da da da
He lives in a box down by the ocean
Down off the main road by the hill
Takes what he finds and eats it right there
Makes what he can with what he will
He don't ride the bus
They don't let him drive
There he walks for miles, a day
Cause he ain't got no ride
He lives in a box down by the ocean
Down by the sea side at the hill
Palm trees it ain't the beauty look, good though
Eventhough he looks pretty ill
He lives in a box down by the ocean

Re: Down By The Ocean
VERY interesting post. Great find...I wonder if it is the same song or if he just re-used part of it as a theme or something.
I think one of the other izzy songs i've forgotten the name of also became "Do it for the kids" by VR...so it's not unheard of these guys to jam out something for a while and then go their seperate ways with it....and you end up with two tracks.
It's interesting how many songs Axl verified as real there too...hope we get to hear some of them one day.
Re: Down By The Ocean
That's a pretty cool track, enough to make you weep for the those who don't check this section.
