You Never Know is a funked up punk-a-tude bluesy swinging new indie rock song about the fact that You Never Know. Pulling from funk, blues, Americana, and rock, with a punk attitude and lyrics about state of the modern world peppered with a healthy dose of skepticism and justifiable cynicism about the absolute certainty so many people claim to possess. This song will make you want to dance while you call out the BS. 

You never know! 
You think you know
But you don’t know
I learned along time ago 
That ya never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know!
You say its true
Because you say so
But I ain’t buying what your selling yo!
  
Take a look back through history
Only one thing’s a certainty
The future will remain a mystery
Something we’ll never know

Some people turn to the good book
Some people give their crystal ball a look
No matter what you try and do though
Fact is, you never know!

If you went and had a look
Read every word in every book! 
The record clearly shows
That ya never know!

You never know!
You think you know
But you don’t know
I learned a long time ago 
That ya never know 

Some people turn to the good book
Some people give their crystal ball a look
No matter what they try and do though
Fact is, you never know!

If you went and had a look
Read every word in every book! 
The record clearly shows
That ya never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know
You say its true
Because you say so
But I ain’t buying what your selling yo
Cuz ya never know

Take a look back at history
Only one thing’s a certainty
The future will remain a mystery
Something we’ll never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know
I ain’t buying what your selling yo
I learned along time ago 
That you never know.

Nobody is safe
(Nobody is safe)
When the clowns are in charge
(Yes, the clowns are in charge!)

What did you do last week?
(I worked till you got in my way!)
What did you do last week?
(Shut up and let me work today!)

Nobody is safe

When the clowns are in charge

What did you do last week?
(I worked till you got in my way!)
What did you do last week?
(Shut up and let me work today!)

Spent all day in status checks
Now you want reports on that?
Meetings, emails, wasted time
This ain't work - it's corporate crime!

What did you do last week?
(Did you breathe? Did you blink? Write it down!)
What did you do last week?
(Don't think, just type - your job's on the line!)

Nobody is safe
(Nobody is safe)
When the clowns are in charge
(Yes, the clowns are in charge!)

What did you do last week?
(I worked till you got in my way!)

(Shut up and let me work today!)

What Did You Do Last Week?

Everything
Capo on 6
Verse 1
(G) Everything I saw I saw yesterday, everything I know I found on my way
(am) Every time you smile my heart skips a beat, hold you while you dance, you stand on my feet
(em) Everything I was I washed it away, everything you need I’ll be everyday
(C) Every breathe you take you take mine away, everything I do I do because I love you
Chorus
(G) Oh - I know this is true
(C) Oh - My everything is you, and I love you
Verse 2
(G) Everything I am, is searching to be, better as your dad, a better me
(am) Everything I see is changed through your eyes, everything I fear is fear magnified
(em) Your hand grips my finger, asleep on my chest, all these moments that never last
(C) Everything you are, is everything to me, my child, my life, my everything
Chorus
(G) Oh - I know this is true
(C) Oh - My everything is you, and I love you
Bridge (very Coldplay like)
Bass Progression (No Capo): G# > F# > A# > F# > C# > D# > A# > F#
(D) Every time you sing, every time you (C) laugh, from your first breath until my (em) last
The greatest joy I’ve ever (C) known, is the love we have inside this (G) home
And as you grow and as we (C) age, I’m more aware of these (em) days
In how they fade, how fast the (C) time, my memories of you still shine

Everything

I like to walk alone
And to feel, feel the rhythm of the city
I look at all the people
Trying to guess, guess the stories of their lives

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

Why is that man running fast?
Is he late? Late for something big?
Maybe chasing down a dream,
Or just catching the last train to his home?

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

Every face, a story to imagine
In this city full of people
Every smile, a journey to discover
I just walk and let them shine

So many faces, so many dreams
Rushing past like movie scenes
Who they are, I'll never know
I just love to watch them go

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

And that girl with shining eyes,
Lost in smiles, or lost in her thoughts,
Is she waiting for someone?
Or just dreaming of love tonight?

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

(Trying to guess, keep on trying to guess)

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

Trying to Guess

I woke up this mornin', feeling kinda thin
Pranced to my bowl, let the feast begin!
But what do I see? A desert so bare
My bowl's got nothin' but dust and air!

I meowed, I pawed, I gave you the look
You're scrolling your phone, can't you read the cat book?
I'm a feline diva, I deserve my crown
Fill up my bowl before I tear this house down!

Empty bowl, empty bowl, my heart's in despair
Empty bowl, empty bowl, do you even care?
I'm a hungry little tiger, I'm losing my cool
Human, get your act together, I'm nobody's fool!

I tried to be patient, I really did try
But my stomach's growling, I think I might die!
I knocked over a vase, just to make a scene
You laughed at me? Oh, you're so mean!

I'm plotting revenge, I'll sit on your face
Or maybe I'll pounce on your pillowcase!
I'm a master of chaos, a purring machine
Fill up my bowl or I'll go full feline queen!

I see the bag, I hear the crinkle
My ears perk up, my eyes start to twinkle!
You're walking over, my tail's in the air
Finally, human, you're showing you care!

Fill it up, fill it up, make it overflow
I'll forgive you now, but you're still on thin snow!
Chicken or tuna, I don't really mind
Just keep it coming, or I'll lose my mind!

Empty bowl, empty bowl, no more despair
Full bowl, full bowl, now I'm purring with flair!
I'm a happy little tiger, I'm back on my throne
But human, remember, always, always fill my bowl!

Empty Bowl

it´s wicked games that you play
I know it would never work

I need no yelling in my house
and there is no sense in forgiving
when you just want to move on

enemies to this day
it´s wicked games that you play
those wicked games that you play
won´t end up well

Wicked Games

You Used Me

This is an old Fuzzy Grubb song, the first one we wrote, and in our first practice.  Feels like home playing this one.  I miss those days, those nights, and the people who filled them.  Hope you enjoy it.  This song is for you all (you know who you are!)

This Night 

Verse 1: 

It just felt right.  It came on the air that night.  My eyes closed and I opened my arms. 

I smiled so wide, that pain brought a tear to my eye, and my dreams danced in the sky with the stars. 

Chorus:  

I don’t know what I feel anymore.  Not quite as empty as I was before 

Everything was right, uh huh, on this perfect night. 

Verse 2: 

Surrounded by friends.  Laughs that stirred up the past.  Campfire songs carry us into the night. 

A haze of beer and memories.  I felt something stir deep inside of me. 

One by one we all drifted to sleep. 

Chorus:  

I don’t know what I feel anymore.  Not quite as empty as I was before 

Everything was right, uh huh, on this perfect night. 

Bridge: 

I guess things were bound to change.  Familiar faces all faded away.   

Our circle of friends was falling apart.  Tonight we are kids again.  Living for dreams that haven’t died yet.   

This moment is everything and everything was right on this perfect night. 

This Night

[Verse 1]  
The stars are yawning in the sky  
The moon is peeking, way up high  
And little Cassie snuggles tight  
Wrapped in dreams and soft moonlight  

[Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Verse 2]  
Soft toy tucked in by your side  
Whispers float like lullaby tides  
Mama’s song still in the air  
And Daddy’s hugs are everywhere  

[Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Bridge]  
You are the twinkle in our days  
The giggle that never fades away  
So dream your dreams, so big and bright  
Grandpa’s here all through the night  

[Final Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Outro]  
Let the nighttime glow...  
Goodnight, Cassie.

My Sweet Cassie

My new song [Verse]
I saw the moon hide behind the trees
Whispering secrets to the breeze
It’s quiet now but my heart screams
I can’t lose you

[Prechorus]
Every step feels like a fall
Every word a wrecking ball

[Chorus]
I can’t lose you no no no
Like a kite with no sky to go
Like a flame without its glow
I can’t lose you no no no

[Verse 2]
The clock ticks loud like it’s mocking me
Stealing moments like a thief at sea
I’m a shipwreck where you used to be
I can’t lose you

[Bridge]
What’s the sun without its fire
What’s a dream without desire
What’s a song without the choir
It’s nothing it’s nothing

[Chorus]
I can’t lose you no no no
Like a river with nowhere to flow
Like a star that forgot to show
I can’t lose you no no no

I Can't Lose You

Your eyes are fixed upon the window
my eyes are glued upon the door
guess we've come to this decision
a thousand times before
I know exactly how your feeling
but not exactly what it's for
yesterday's just like tomorrow
today we're back for more
And if I count the times I should have walked away
we're surely better off alone
today's tomorrow's are tomorrow's yesterdays
think I'm going home!
I wasn't built for disappointment
you wasn't made for all this pain
shall we book our next appointment
and start it all again?
And if I count the times I should have walked away
we're surely better off alone
today's tomorrow's are tomorrow's yesterdays
think I'm going home!
Your eyes still fixed upon the window
my eyes still glued upon the floor
yes we've come to this decision
a thousand times before
