Into Monkey

written & performed by Hook

Monkey see monkey do
Set the example
see how many chimps follow you
Paint  a gray sky blue
Ignore the rain as it falls upon you

Learn to sign and wear a suit
hell here's an accordion
learn to play that to
Fight the impulse to throw your Poo
People see people do

We're an impressionable bunch
It's not absurd
We're less convicted
Than past generations were
Almost primitive in our lack of notice
That's the world around us is changing focus
Technological advancements
Leave us lacking depth and substance
At some point we reversed the theory
It's evolution but only nearly


It might only be me to see
That's slowly where evolving into monkey

[bruno]

Now this is great Brother, I LOVE this track - you've outdone yourself with this lyrics on this one. The delivery is brilliant and perfect, but man, those lyrics! WOW.

Technological advancements
Leave us lacking depth and substance
At some point we reversed the theory
It's evolution but only nearly

That says so much about us today. FMSWABP I think the phrase is - off for another listen.

Great stuff, Mr H.  I've never done anything as productive and worthwhile as this whilst monkeying about in my car.

You're clearly at one with your Monkey.

Very clever Hook
just love it -
Yeh we are slowly evolving into monkeys -
hear/see/and do nothing

That's some masterful monkeying you're doing, Hook - I'm also a big fan of the lyrics on this, and your enunciation of them. Digging the flamenco feel of those ukes, too...very powerful sound!

[Gnasty]

Holy Monkey Shit!! This is amazing buddy!! Love everything about this!

Yup them lyrics with the flamenco 'Hook" hook.  Piepod!

You rock!

Monkey on!!!

This is absolutely fantastic and it's going right in the piepod.
Probably one of my favourites from you hook and those lyrics are so superb.
As usual a 1st glass performance.
Magic .
