Here we go again yeah I heard you were talkin' about me Talkin' all reckless thinkin' that I'd never see And you always thought you were right Which is why we have to fight Because you're primal Because you're primal Been some time since you've been in town B-b-but when you come back we're still goin' round and round And you always thought you were right Which is why we have to fight Because you're primal Because you're primal I don't know what you think you're doing Can't you see that we're stuck in a cycle It's natural to fight, that's true and You only think about your survival Because you're primal Because you're primal And you always thought you were right which is why we have to fight Because you're primal Because you're primal Because you're primal Because you're primal

Took a stab at it, don't really know what Sticking to the wall and maybe its wet enough Lucky the first time I had to try another Couldn't stop then it was like a sugar rush Do you feel, do you feel like I, I Do Are you thinking, are you thinking like I, I Do Come back home and everything's different Look to the right and all I see is emptiness Watch from afar but feel like I'm right there Its a two way mirror but who's on the inside Do you feel, do you feel like I, I Do Are you thinking, are you thinking like I, I Do Do you feel, Do you feel alive I, I do Are you thinking, are you thinking right Cause I, I do

I want to know what you're thinking' about You don't even know about this mess you've made I can't clean it up without your help We got to talk it out even if its loud You say you don't care at all And I care too much Why can't you look at me When this is all your fault You said you would change your ways I can't look the other way at you I can see that you're no longer thinking of me You left me hanging from this tree I had a feeling that you would never stay We never thought that it would end this way You say you don't care at all And I care too much Why can't you look at me When this is all your fault You said you would change your ways I can't look the other way at you At you At you At you

Knowing when to say goodbye Is something that's hard to do But it's the hardest thing to say When I say it to you Sometimes I say those three little words that are so overused But they're the easiest thing to say When I say them to you I want you, to tell me how you feel If I knew how you were feeling I could feel that too Sometimes you've got to tell someone What they're supposed to do But it's the hardest thing to do When they say it to you I got to tell you how I feel, even if you refuse But it's the easiest thing to say When I say it to you It's the easiest thing to say When I say it to you But It's the easiest thing to say When I say it to you When I say it to you When I say it to you When I say it to you When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you (When I say it to you) When I say it to you

I see a girl, as she's walking down the street But I know, she doesn't notice me And I know that is, all I can do As I'm watching her walk by There's a glimmer in my eye And I think, that maybe she's the one And I know that is, all I can do And when I make her mine I'll love her all the time, and I'll hold her When she is blue It's all I can do All I can do I see this love, and I want it to be mine But I know, I must watch it walk on by And I know that is, all I can do

about

“The British Invasion began a domino effect that remains in motion to this day. Of its many indelible marks on music and culture, one of the foremost is jumpstarting the American garage band explosion of the 60s that helped pave the way for generations of independent rock to come. That spirit—and more than just a hint of the sound—is at the core of Fort Wayne, Indiana trio Uncle Muscle’s debut full length, Say Uncle.


Written over the course of several years, Say Uncle is, on one hand, a lovingly crafted pastiche of Vietnam War-era American rock music, and, on the other, a recognizably modern indie rock record that is just as indebted to Spoon as it is to English kids with bowl cuts. Make no mistake, there are Liverpudlian harmonies aplenty, as well as the rollicking freneticism of bands like The Jam and their fellow late-70s mod revivalists. There’s also more than enough sweetly warbling surf guitar for any Ventures fan to feel right at home, and a hefty dose of gritty blues-driven 60s garage rock that would make The Sonics proud.


But for all its reverence for the past, Say Uncle doesn’t treat its influences as unalterable relics frozen in amber, but as living things to be reimagined and expanded upon. For every idea that’s borrowed, a new one is presented; The sum of its parts being an adroitly balanced listening experience that’s as fresh as it is familiar. Uncle Muscle is a band glancing backward as they move purposefully ahead.” -Grey Gordon
