lyrics

You might have seen right through me to the back of the hall
Where the big noters sing for the fly on the wall
My own company ruled, I only speak if you spoke to me
First I was immersed a bottle in the smoke
Choose my words like a novel from the library shelf
But leaves such a gap the books toppled themselves.

Give you my full attention, spandex got shorter
Round my ankles and look they’re in rising water!
Stared at my soggy shoes gazed all over in doubt
While the ocean roared in the shell from where I came out
Coz I kept eating my crusts while my hair slowly curled
Yeh, I’m a quiet kid in a noisy world.

CHORUS
He’s a quiet kid they always turned him down
But in a noisy world you can’t hear a sound!

So listen right up sit down on my laptop
It’s got a bug and it’s stuck in the apple
Buzzing around one flew in my ear
Been spinning some wax and sounds so unclear
So loud, strewth – my ears fell in rut
I held up my camera to the hole in my nut
“Hello. What? A few questions to begin?”
Well I picked up my ears, but forgot my pin – drop
Wasn’t heard a needle lost in the haze
With a snowy reception been so cold for days
On the couch getting fatter while the TV gets thinner
This evolution will be televised while I finish my dinner.

CHORUS

So do you dig my post? Or like my page?
And when the World Wide Web’s all full will it fill you with rage?
Click on memories share threads with frayed ends
Save every minute, follow article trends
But if the virus goes viral or a new crash descends
Will you count on one hand or your 400 friends?

CHORUS

Naked tellies on the nature strip got nothing on
But the grass grows around and the signal’s so strong
Come down in the last shower? Plumb it into the bowl
While the hair fall out gathers around the plughole
Like a junky so high, I could see the earth’s curve
Well I could find the vein but I soon lost the nerve.

CHORUS
