MAESTRO - Possibility

They say I’ve got spunk

They say I’ve got spark

They say that I am different

That somehow I’m more than the sum of my parts

I can be a guitar!

But I’m also a horn,

I’m also a saxophone

Maybe a trumpet, and a dash of cello

And still…it's why I was born

Am I a mistake?

A transformer that blew?

Or do I have a destiny entirely new?

I was almost a failure

A box on the shelf

A hot new invention

A Genesis unto myself

‘Cause I am the first

A brand new attraction

The reason Keith Richards can’t get satisfaction

And still…it's why I was born.

I have so many possibilities

There’s so many things...that I can be

No one knows...just what I can achieve

Don’t worry, dads. I’ll make you proud of me.

‘Cause, I’m the...FZ!

(pause) Well, technically, I’m the FZ-1.


TONE BENDER - Better Than You

I’m a bad metal pedal

The OG box of rock

Check your watches, ladies

‘Cause it’s Tone-Bender o’clock

I’m the new and improved

Bro, I’m better than you

So you better step aside

Better yet, run and hide

Yo, you can’t even sustain.

I hold notes that blow your brain.

Sound so good that it’s profane

Drive the engineers insane

People sayin’ that I'm great.

Truly the art of the state

You just got onto the scene

but you're already too late.

Ooooh, sick burn!

I’m the...Tone Bender

Jammed with Ronson, Beck and Page

I’m the...Tone Bender

Bowie had me center stage

I’m the...Tone Bender

I made Clapton a sensation

I’m the Beatles’ inspiration

Gave Pete Townsend palpitations

I’m the...Tone Bender, baby...

I AM...the British Invasion


FUZZ FACE - Everybody Loves This Face

Ask David Gilmour who’s his main squeeze

Ask George Harrison if I’m just a tease

Ask Jimi Hendrix why he chose me

It’s easy....

I am smokin’ hot.

Everybody loves this face

Honestly, what’s not to love?

Everybody loves this face

It’s the visage that you’ve all dreamed of

I’ve got style

I’ve got class

I’ve got charm comin’ outta my...nose

Everybody loves this face

Magnifique!

I’m the utmost in beauty and grace

That’s why everybody loves this face

Dance break!

Do I have any depth?

Or is that just a stretch?

Am I just a round face?

Heh, who cares? I’m a catch!

Call me a cab, ladies! We’re takin’ it home!

I’ve got style

I’ve got class

I’ve got charm comin’ outta my...nose

Everybody loves this face

I’m unique!

Magnifique!

I’m the utmost in beauty and grace

And everybody loves this face


WAH - Everything’s Crap

Everything’s crap

Trust me: everything’s crap

Oh, don’t look so surprised

People, open your eyes

Because everything’s crap.

I’m a fraud and a clown

I’m the not-real-McCoy

So no wonder I’m down

Life’s a big ol’ killjoy

Everything’s crap

Say it: everything’s crap

I was made for guitar

But a joke went too far

Casher’s ready to snap

There’s no point to my life

It’s all heartache and strife

Because--

I’l help Hendrix at Woodstock,

Frank Zappa loves me

The Yardbirds and Cream

Can’t get enough of me

Will my Wah really carry

Musicians to glory

Will my Wah really make

Such a change in the story?

As I stand here aghast

Could my life change so fast?

Is my suffering past?

Nah. This won’t last.


OCTAVIA - What You See Is What You Get

With Octavia...

What you see is what you get

I live my life on my own terms

Not an inkling of regret

I’l take things up an octave

Then I’ll smash it all to bits

It’s unruly. It’s unholy.

Trust me, baby, it’s a hit

With Octavia

What you see is what you get

I’l combine it all, then burn it

Like an eight-bit cigarette

Am I sweet on the inside?

If you dig deep enough?

Nope, I’m bad to the bone

Queen of Mean on my throne

With Octavia

What you see is what you get.

Nails on a board or breaking glass

I’m a step above the rest

The soundtrack to the nightmare

That you don’t want out of your head

Others will come and intimate

But they’re just a silhouette

I’m Octavia

What you see is what you get


UNI-VIBE - Not Really Here

You think you can see me

But I’m not really there

You think you can touch me

But I’m nothing but air

People try to define me

Am I chorus or phasing?

But the truth is I’m more

I’m astounding, amazing

So the question is...who?

Is anyone there

Who will use me, my movement,

My flight through the air?

Does anyone dare?

Don’t be scared, Jimi James

You aren’t up here alone

When the words aren’t enough

I can be a voice for you

When your voice feels too weak

Let my pulsing notes speak

We’ll show with guitar

What goes on in this war

It’s nine in the morning

And an era is ending

Let that fuzz and wah wah sing

Through those six guitar strings

I’m a motion, a movement

So much more than mere words

…I'm a voice to be heard


BIG MUFF - Call Me Muff

How ya doin’?

Just call me Muff

A true New Yorker

A little rough, a lotta scruff

No room for fluff

Just call me Muff

I’m the fuzz who people call when things get tough

I’m the four transistor wonder. Call me Muff.

I got a pedigree that makes the Maestro blush

Invented by two geniuses

‘Cause one just weren’t enough

Just call me Muff

I’m more than a box

Or a pretty face

I’m the winning horse

Headed for first place

A lot has changed

Since ’62

‘Cause this is New York

Not Kalamazoo

I’m the Muff!

I’m the Muff!

Pretty gruff

I got scruff

Tough enough

Ain’t no bluff

I’M THE MUFF!

You see this knob?

Fuggedah bout it!

Its’a tone control

And I gotta shout it

I started on Broadway

It weren’t enough

I’m the new line

I’m King of Fuzz

I’m the MUFF!

Pretty gruff

I got scruff

Tough enough

Ain’t no bluff

I’M THE MUFF!
