You opened my eyes You opened my eyes, yeah Indelibly wise but just one of the guys First you’re out then you’re in (Long as the wind blows) How long has it been? yeah (Strong as the sun glows) Is this a game you can win? (That’s how the story goes) Think I’ll keep tuning in We were so much younger then We satisfied our hunger when we could You gave so much but more than that You understood Don’t let your horses be tamed Or get caught up in a lame game Wasting time’s such a shame Or finding someone to blay-e-ame You opened my eyes (Long as the wind blows) You opened my eyes, yeah (Strong as the sun glows) Peeled off the disguise (That’s how the story goes) Just one of the guys You opened my eyyyyyyessssss, yeah! You opened my ey-es That’s how the story goes Just a word to the wise Real Love never dies

You ain’t clever, you ain’t funny, you ain’t wise Don’t see much of anything behind those beady little eyes You’re simply ev’rything that I despise It’s time we said our overdue good-byes Never, never think you can pull the wool Over every head Not ev’ry peep’s a sheep sound asleep In a comfortable couch or a slouch half dead Chorus You’ve got such a long way to go Tell me something I don’t know If you get it, baby, it don’t show It’s Time to Go! Your mouth it moves butcha don’t say nuffin’ Very little turkey, baby, and a whole lotta stuffin’ For a flash you’re real n’ I discover you’re bluffin’ I’m sick to death of your huffin’ & puffin Liar, liar tell me again Just who did what to who and when You think you were born with a right to the throne But when I look at your face there ain’t no one home Chorus You’ve got such a long way to go Tell me something I don’t know If you get it, baby, it don’t show It’s Time to Go! It's Time To Go! It’s been a long time comin’ for you and me It’s a road that we’ve walked down before But I’ll tell you the sight that I’d most love to see is your ass heading out my front door You’ve got such a long way to go Tell me something I don’t know If you get it, baby, it don’t show Oh! Maybe you’re a little slow Why don-cha Scram! Split! Blow! It’s time to go! It’s time to go! So long, bye-bye, farewell So long, bye-bye, farewell

Oooh Baby 05:05
Oooh Baby Well, I’m headed back home on the midnight plane Oooh Baby There’s a feelin’ that’s rising, the sweetest pain Flying high above the city all I feel is you There’s no end to what I’m dreaming That you and I can do I’m talkin’ to you Oooh Baby (let me know that it’s getting’ through) Oooh Baby The streetlights sparkling in the distance And stars shine up above My imagination’s runnin’ wild Like a boy that’s in love Like a boy that’s in love Oooh Baby (Well, I just gotta know) Oooh Baby Counting headlights and heartaches on Highway 7 6 long miles down Only one cure that I have found that can fix me When I’m on the ground You better be around Oooh Baby (Let me show you what I found) Oooh Baby The captain gives the weather on the P.A. system Interruptin’ my reverie But that’ll soon be history When you, girl, are all over me setting me free Oooh Baby (It’s the way it’s meant to be) Oooh Baby

Brother Ray 04:39
Heaven knows where a soul with your love goes You made us all feel more alive I can’t say where I’d be today Without the one and only Brother Ray You blew me away Lord, you made me wanna play Think I need a drink just to keep from cryin’ You saw so much had a master’s touch I thank God that nothin’ could keep you from flyin’ Chorus cuz’ Heaven knows where a soul with your love goes You made us all feel more alive I can’t say where I’d be today Without the one and only Brother Ray Bridge The river runs on and the clouds go rollin’ by The trees jus’ wink n’ laugh at me n’ the stars twinkle in the sky This world may go on for another million years But I know, I know you’ll still be here In whatever state I’d been you always pulled me in I could feel your heart beat right in time with mine And when in doubt you could always pull me out At least you never gave up tryin’ Chorus cuz’ Heaven knows where a soul with your love goes You made us all feel more alive I can’t say where I’d be today Without the one and only Brother Ray Without the one and only Brother Ray

Too many places in the world on fire So much mis-un-der-standing Everybody’s preachin’ to their own choir The circle’s never expanding I keep holding on, ohhh, and I keep holding on Too many leaders with their heads in the sand Holding their position Even though not a damn thing went the way they planned It’s an insane condition But I keep holding on And I’ve gotta say that I’m so lucky to have you, baby I’m so glad you are in my world There ’s no ifs, ands n’ buts or maybes, ‘cause You are my girl Let’s get away Someplace where we can be Livin’ in a land of the free Sometimes I look all around There’s nothing real to be found It seems like darkness is spreading like cancer But baby don’t give up hope They’re gonna hang on their own rope We’ve got to look in our hearts for the answer Too many places in the world on fire So much mis-un-der-standing Everybody’s preachin’ to their own choir The circle’s never expanding I keep holding on and I’ve got to say that I’m so lucky to have you, baby I’m so glad you are in my world There ’s no ifs, ands n’ buts or maybes, ‘cause You are my girl Let’s get away Someplace where we can be Livin’ in a land of the free

Some day I'm gonna walk on water Some day I'm gonna sing right in the sun It's my time, I'm bound for freedom 'Til my kingdom comes Work all day, play all night The story's only just begun Ohhh Some day I'm gonna walk on water 'Til this ol' life is done Some day I'm gonna walk on water Some day I'm gonna sing right in the sun It's my time, my rhyme, my reason 'Til my kingdom comes Work all day, play all night One day I know I'm gonna get it right Ohh Some day I'm gonna walk on water 'Til this ol' life is done Some day I'm gonna walk on water Some day I'm gonna sing right in the sun It's my time, my life, my season 'Til my kingdom comes Christians and Muslims, Hindus and Jews We're all born from love We all get the blues We all have frustrations, we all get confused But if we don't cool it down Baby, we're all gonna lose What do you choose? What do you choose? Some day I'm gonna walk on water Some day I'm gonna sing right in the sun It's my time, my rhyme, my reason 'Til my kingdom comes

about

This album is, improbably, the first collection from Fuzzbee, who's had life-altering musical encounters and truly wild adventures with many of the greatest, most groundbreaking musicians and writers of our time from a tender age.

Between the ages of 13-17, major inspirations, including such one-of-a-kinds as Frank Zappa, Jean-Luc Ponty & Joe Zawinul, took Fuzzbee under their wing, goosing him, challenging him and imparting their own unique, pungent and priceless understanding of the power of real music.

Along with those inimitable mentors, in various contexts Fuzzbee has played with and absorbed from Lou Reed, Jaco Pastorius, Richie Havens, Bono, Peter Gabriel, Aaron Neville, Ric Ocasek, The Chambers Brothers, The Soul Survivors, Derek Trucks, Dave Grohl, Third World, Karla Bonoff, Daniel Lanois and many, many more.

Having been the man behind the scenes on countless projects as a producer, writer, multi-instrumentalist, film scorer, live sideman, arranger, music director and comedic foil, when it was finally time for Fuzzbee to step forward with his own songs, he went for the greatest band he could conceive of. He says, "happily, they're all real friends and total mensches."

Fuzzbee's notes on the players:

JERRY MAROTTA, whose studio was home for this album, whose mischievous cackle provokes uncharted realms of silliness and whose groove is second to none, hosted and anchored the sessions. He played drums, Taos drums, ocarina, Garden Weasel©, percussion and Omnichord. His credits include Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney, Robbie Robertson, Hall & Oates, Elvis Costello, Orleans and Todd Rundgren. He's an amazing drummer and my paisan for life.

TONY LEVIN, one of the wittiest and most fascinating people I know, played a variety of basses on the album. He has exactly the right proportion of unencumbered creativity and focused, rock solid, fat mama bass tone. His instincts are impeccable. So is his moustache. His credits are beyond belief - he played with Igor Stravinsky! That's like playing baseball with Babe Ruth. And John Lennon and Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel (for 39 years), King Crimson, James Taylor, Ringo, Paul Simon, Dire Straits, Laura Nyro…it goes on 'til you're dizzy.

DAVID SANCIOUS, who's currently holding down the keyboard chair in both Peter Gabriel's and Sting's touring bands, was a pal from a tour we'd previously done together and is a deeply inspiring, funky and surprising player, whose intelligence and feel shine through everything he does. His credits include the original E Street Band with that Bruce fella, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Santana, Seal, Aretha Franklin, Peter & Sting. He plays Hammond organ, piano, synths and virtual soprano sax on here. David's another of my favorite people.

I was very lucky to have Daya Rawat, Lisa Frazier, Willie and Joe Chambers of the Chambers Brothers and Tyra Juliette sing with me on this album. They're all phenomenal singers and brought endless soul, experience, fun, wisdom & feel to these songs. More than that, they're some of the most compelling and unforgettable Kats n' Kittys I've ever had the pleasure of commingling with!

I knew getting these songs and these people together in the same room would be a good idea. I'm so glad that it happened. A lifetime of everything under the sun went into this. We had a blast making it, I hope you do listening to it!
