It took me 20 years to find this album again. 1997 Dahab Egypt, a diving
student of mine lent us a blank tape with (O.C.S) written in black felt
to play at the dive center rental counter. When she left she gave me
the tape as a tip, as new music was impossible to find in that tiny
diving town it was Dahab Gold. This album became a praised possession
the dive center for several months and a prized of mine for several
years. In the early 2000's it was lost during a midnight move. To this
day i am not sure how or where but the loss has never sat well with me.
All those years ago on the beach Cloe told me the name of the band so i
knew that i knew it, but could never to quite grasp it....until I
happened across the intro to a film i had seen before, Snatch. A quick
wiki search and i found something i had resigned as lost forever. Its
funny how a simple song or album can bring back thoughts, ideas, and
memories you presumed to be lost if even ever considered. Thanks for the
great music and an anchor to a time in my life i hope never to
forget....again

I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle instead
It's more or less the same as the things that you said

I see trouble up the road
Like the things you found in love are by the way
And like to cheat on your soul
Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
Before you lie on your bed

It's more or less the same as the things that you said
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble
Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars
And his double
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
Like a king who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle instead

It's more or less the same
As the things that you said

I see trouble up the road
Like the things you found
In love are by the way
And like to cheat on your soul
Like the best and worst
Of thoughts that lose control
Before you lie on your bed

It's more or less the same
As the things that you said

Anyway for all the things you know
Tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said
Tell me why does the river run red

Anyway for all the things you've seen
Tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know
Tell me why does the river not flow

It's more or less the things
You fail to say in your way that's your trouble
Like a king who stalks the wings
And shoots the moon and the stars
And his double

It's more or less the same
As the things that you said

Anyway for all the things you know
Tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said
Tell me why does the river run red

Anyway for all the things you've seen
Tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know
Tell me why does the river not flow

[Guitar Solo]

I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
I see double, that's my trouble

The Riverboat Song

Album: Anthology (Disc One)

I see double up ahead
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle instead
It's more or less the same as the things that you said

I see trouble up the road
Like the things you found in love are by the way
And like to cheat on your soul
Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
Before you lie on your bed

It's more or less the same as the things that you said
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

It's more or less the things you may have seen in your way that's your trouble
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars
And his double
It's more or less the same as the things that you said
Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow

I see double up ahead
Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs red
I see double, that's my trouble

Underrated band, one of Birmingham's finest

OCS and The Specials are 2 of my favourite bands. Pure talent.Along with Black Sabbath, the West Midlands hold a huge space in my heart regarding musical innovation. Proper bands. Love from the East Mids 🀟🏻

Still as fresh now as it ever was, absolute tune 🀘

Man_Bear_ Pig

One of the most underrated bands. Seen them in 2002 support oasis, they were the far superior band and easily outplayed Oasis. Ocs are easily one of the best bands I seen live.

Frank Murphy Burr

Too good for a Oasis audience

dave Nicholson

True...!
