Fool Us Once (Farrell Jackson © 7-28-22)
It's not easy... to see the truth, unless you're looking for the proof
We can't let...the characters in, and never throw caution to the wind
Words only goes so far, don't be wooed by the shining stars
When someone shows who they are, we need to believe them

Fool us once shame on you, fool us twice shame on us
Trust if we must but verify...

It's so hard... to fall love, in a world that's gone to crazy
Nobody is...who they seem to be, their smoke screen is way too hazy
Who wants to be a fool, placed in a bin of useless tools?
Protect all our tattered feelings, and let the hurt start healing

Fool us once shame on you, fool us twice shame on us
Trust if we must but verify...
(Guitar and Keys solos)
Words only goes so far, don't be wooed by the shining stars
When someone shows who they are, we need to believe them
 
Fool us once shame on you, fool us twice shame on us
Trust if we must...but verify...

Excellent musicianship and stellar vocal work, Farrell. The guitar break and the organ break are so cool. Drum programming is so expertly done and I like the message in the lyrics. All in all, another fantastic track from you guys.

That's a lovely song Farrell and the rest of the gang in Rayon Vert. There is a lot of light and shade in this... love those lyrics and the overall mellow feel of this but there is still plenty of bite too in those guitars (getting a bit of a Rainbow vibe in this one!). Great tune.

Well, Rayon Vert se the standard cuz! Always love RV stuff. Classic rock from the top shelf. ;-)

Yeah...the Rainbow comp could be true... for me this is great music..  a shade prog...like Kansas etc... defo a early 70s rock but with way updated technology.    As I noted before and I fully still believe it, you could almost double for the great April Wine vocals of the 70s, 80s...a superior Canadian rock band...
Too all the participants... great job as per usual... Id pay to see this band.

I know I'm always in for a treat when I click on one of your tunes. On top of the tuneage, they are always mixed so bloody well. Great pop rock that would sit well in any of several decades.

Great rocker! Killer guitar solo and tones. I dig everything about this one. Well done! 

[Trist]

Very tasteful rock track. you guys always do some cool songs that musically show your skills, this is catchy and i liked the lyrical theme.

Hi Farrell,
Excellent song, and the lyrics are very true.
I use to say "do not assume", it might make an "ass" of "u" and "me".
I like this recording.  Once again the guitar is super nice.
