Up come Plain Jane in a diamond silk shirt Thinkin’ of her new lover who lives in the dirt With a younger woman, gives him what he needs While Jane stands by and always disagrees. Sayin’ you don’t know nothin’ yet. You don’t know nothin’ yet. You don’t know nothin’ yet, Don’tchu forget. Bloody Mary told me in her sleep A story ‘bout the fish that swim in the deep. She buttons her feet and unties her shoes, She’s always givin’ me the second-hand blues. Sayin’ you don’t know nothin’ yet. You don’t know nothin’ yet. You don’t know nothin’ yet, Don’tchu forget. Anne of Cleves wrote me a song, Painted me a picture that wasn’t very long Of her King of Hearts in the Dirty Water City Which broke my heart and filled me with pity. Sayin’ you don’t know nothin’ yet. You don’t know nothin’ yet. You don’t know nothin’ yet, Don’tchu forget. People come and people go And over time it begins to show. The company’s nice but not somethin’ I need My poems’ll still have someone to read. Sayin’ you don’t know nothin’ yet. You don’t know nothin’ yet. You don’t know nothin’ yet, Don’tchu forget.

I dreamt of you again last night But woke up to find my pillow there instead And I was lyin’ on my bed Thoughts of you running through my head. Love can be pretty hard, wouldn’t you say? Seems to get harder everyday. I’ve got nothin’ to do ‘Cept sit here missin’ you, It gets so hard. In fields of amber I can be found Looking for a love that is as true. On crooked wings, my words fly through And I send them straight to you. Love can be pretty hard, wouldn’t you say? Seems to get harder everyday. I’ve got nothin’ to do ‘Cept sit here missin’ you, It gets so hard. Though you’re miles away And I’m not even sure how you feel And is my love even real? Seems that time for me will reveal. Love can be pretty hard, wouldn’t you say? Seems to get harder everyday. I’ve got nothin’ to do ‘Cept sit here missin’ you, It gets so hard.

about

The A-Side: "You Don't Know Nothin' Yet" was the first original song that I ever played live two or three years ago, so I find it fitting that it is also my first recorded song. A rocking little number in the key of D Major for those of you playing at home.

The B-Side: "Fields Of Amber" was written in 2016 (if memory serves) and rewritten at some point in 2017. I thought it would be a good song to contrast "You Don't Know". A gentler side of Michael McInerney.
