Nothing At All
written & performed by Hook
If I lost my site
what kind of monkey would I be
Would I have difficulty
In my favorite climbing tree
Could I find my food
Would other monkeys be nice to me
I may be blind to evil
but will evil be blind to me
See no evil see nothing at all

And if I could not hear
what kind of monkey would I be
All the sounds within the jungle gone I'd be living silently
I wonder if I'd sleep at night
for when I close my eyes
I'd be truly alone within my mind
I might not hear the evil lurking behind
Hear no evil hear nothing at all

And if I could not speak
what kind of monkey would I be
All my impulses and urges
I could not express vocally
All my monkey actions
not followed by monkey sounds
I'd be the oddest monkey in jungle town
The evil that might infect would be profound
Speak no evil speak nothing at all

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Very cool Hook.

Dig the lyrics, and the rhythmic interplay between the drums and the piano is really cool.

Getting a real Frank Zappa vibe from this. I love a bit of Frank Zappa so very cool. It has a way out, dreamy feel. Enjoyed this and the jazzy backing enhances this... very cool!

This is fantastic,lyrically very clever and musically it just shows you what can be done in such a small device in the right hands.
The vocal is just pure hook,and as always as clear as a bell.
A great song from one talented dude  ;D
