Everything You Do Is Wrong

D'ya ever wake up in the morning and find yourself all alone?
You start you new job in an hour, but see your front tire is blown.
You wait at the curb for forever until another bus comes along.
You're still so far from town when the bus starts break down.
Seems everything you do is wrong.

You hitch a ride from a weido who lets his ferret tag along.
He takes a wrong turn. How long till you learn
everything you do is wrong.

Can't you see the ever-constant theme?
It seems to be your unique brand.
When your feet land softly on the ground
you landed in quicksand.

On the right you see the river and you know what should be done.
You climb the bridge and look over your shoulder,
preparing for the fall to come.
A garbage barge is heading up the river,
and soon it will be under you headlong.
You raise your hands and cry thinking soon you're gonna die,
but everything you do is wrong.

INTRO-- Am Dm F-G Am-E
V-- Am Dm Am E Am Dm Am-E Am-E
Interlude-- Am E7
BR-- Dm Dm C C F F E7 E7...


Enjoy whatever happens!

Marty, There are some really great lines sprinkled throughout and the guitar fills and lead are PROfessional as all get out!

A great effort and fun listen - which is a great feat for a blues song.

Well, I do hope the large garbage barge, with a pilot named Marge helped him to take charge of his life smile

As always, pro blues all the way. Well done.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I just left a comment on your YouTube post. Safe to just say it's another corker from you, and Dave's guitar is as perfect as ever.

Marty,

That's a great opening verse. Something we all feel / experience at some point. Love your vocal and of course Dave's guitar.

The mix on this is excellent - crisp and loud. Sounds great through room speakers.

As always, your bass and Dave's noodling are VERY good, and the lyrics are pretty cool too.
Enjoyed the ride!

Hi Marty and Dave,

As I wrote on YT this song is a very attractive Blues. I like that kind of songs.
The solo is great, but I need to add 'of course'. Dave is really in his element in these types of songs!
And you did a great job on the lyrics andvocals, but also on the bass (of course, too).
There was one thing that was a bit a pitty: The song was too short...
Couldn't you extended those lyrics, is crossing my mind.

Nice day,
Hans

Marty + Dave.
I was 99% sure I replied couple of days ago... green dot told me that I didn't. Mystery.
Super tune! Funny lyrics so well performed! Only Marty can do it. Cool vocals / phrasing. All played parts by you and Dave are perfect. Mix is spotless. Really liked this one, thank you for sharing.

Misha.

P.S. Reading the title, I thought the tune is about me.

You have a wonderful imagination, Marty, and we all reap the benefits. 😊

You and “on fire Dave“ sound great and the band is cooking too (love the vintage electric piano.)
Excellent session guys all around and nice addition of the tambourine tracks to the drums.

The vortex in the vid during Dave’s solo is cool!

You packed a lot of goodness in to 3:37

Enjoyed it!

Hi Marty & Dave,

You gentlemen never disappoint. Everything you do is pure gold - this one's 24-carat!

Dave's guitar is on fire, your bass line is so perfect, and the lyric is a great read. Your vocal sits in there perfectly! This is great music! Everything is perfectly done and produced. Congrats to both of you on a terrific song!

Take care,

Alan

Thanks, Steve. Yeah, he landed right on Marge's lap. She took him back to her shed, fixed him some vittles, changed his life and he never looked back.
