(Mighty Mighty Bosstoens)
I like noise that`s why I`m livin` where I am
I look like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam
I like the sound of a jet as it`s shakin` my dwellin`
I like ragin` rampagin` and screamin` and yellin`
sound of a fire engine headed for a fire
emotions so high they can`t get any higher
goin` out of control i an outta hand crowd
I like noise and it`s gotta be loud.
awfully quiet on the streets yesterday
people on the streets had little to say
I walked the streets and barely heard a sound
It was awfully quiet on the streets downtown
(chorus)
sometimes quiet`s okay, sometimes quiet`s alright
given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night
awfully quiet on the trains last night
people on the trains kept the conversation light
I rode the trains and barely heard a word
quietest train I ever heard
(chorus)
It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise
I got on the phone called up the boys
I was jonesing so bad, I could barely hack it
they came to the house and picked up the racket
they turned my place on its ear
the boy`s began to riot
It felt so good to hear
on a day that was so quiet
I screamed and cheered them on
and helped out where I could
And when they all were gone
I was feeling good
