John Oak Dalton

"Not 'Hollywood Independent' - writer John Oak Dalton is the real Real Thing." --Cinema Minima."Very weird and unpopular b-movies and comics."--Blogalicious. "After watching the film I am left to wonder if he had some childhood trauma he is not telling us about."--IMDB user review. "Screenwriter John Oak Dalton wanted to be in Hollywood. Instead, he's in the rustic kitchen above the Germania General Store, stirring a pot of boiling hot dogs." --The Harrisburg Patriot-News.

Some Came to Keep the Dark Away

Some Velvet Morning

A Shooting Star Has Crossed My Land

I'm Going Where the Water Tastes Like Wine

I Live in a House that Looks Out Over the Ocean

Performers and Portrayers

I Walk Away Like a Movie Star, Who Gets Burned in a Three Way Script

Used to Daydream in that Small Town

We've Got Our Recruits, and Our Green Mohair Suits

I Never Minded Standing in the Rain

You Dance with the Lady with the Hole in her Stocking

Avoid Stepping On Bela Lugosi

You'll Escape in the Final Reel

And the Archer Split the Tree

Shreds of News and Afterthoughts and Complicated Scenes

I've Been Feeling It Since 1966, Now

I Don't Mind the Sun Sometimes, the Images It Shows

For All The World Like An Urban Toreador

Veteran of the Psychic Wars

All I Gotta Do Is Act Naturally

Lightning and Thunder
