NOTHIN YOU CAN SAY

Written: Monterey Street, Farmington NM, spring 1966

 

Actually, a good musician friend of Knees’, Mo Moses, wrote most of this song, including the killer guitar lick. Mo was apparently inspired by the Kinks’ early songs like You Really Got Me and All Day and All of the Night. Knees sure would like to run into Mo again and pay him the royalties this song has generated. In 2003 this song was used during the tent-erecting scene in the David Hayes slasher film, Backwoods, which, according to NetFlix, is the third worst black comedy of all time.

 

You better watch out you better get outa town

If I catch you girl I’m gonna put you down

There ain’t no use in you hangin around

I know all about the new love you found

Oh no

 

Nothin you can say can stop me now,

I’m gonna make you sad somehow.

Nothin you can say can stop me now,

I’m gonna make you sad somehow

Oh no, oh no.

 

You’ve been sayin that he treats you right

But I gave you lovin both day an night

One of these days you’re gonna see the light

You plead don’t hurt me but I just might

Oh no
