Loud - Tim Minchin.mp3

[00:00.30]Somewhere along the way, my dear
[00:04.22]You've made an awful error
[00:08.64]You oughtn't blame yourself now, come along
[00:15.18]You seem to think that people like people what are clever
[00:21.80]It's very quaint, it's very sweet
[00:25.89]But wrong
[00:29.67]People don't like smarty-pants what go 'round
[00:33.42]Claiming that they know stuff we don't know
[00:37.65]Now, here's a tip:
[00:39.24]What you know matters less
[00:42.64]Than the volume with which what you don't know's expressed
[00:49.19]Content has never been less important, so…
[00:56.59]You have got to be
[01:01.85]LOUD!
[01:03.68]
[01:04.23]Girl, you've gotta learn to stand up and stick out from the
[01:07.21]Crowd!
[01:11.26]A little less flat, a lot more heel
[01:13.89]A little less fact, a lot more feel
[01:16.58]A little less brains, a lot more hair
[01:19.27]A little less head, a lot more derriere
[01:22.68]
[01:27.77]No one's gonna tell you when to shake your tush
[01:30.09]Well, you got a light. Don't hide it under a bushel
[01:32.79]No one's going to look if you don't stand out
[01:35.24]No one's going to listen if you don't shout
[01:38.14]No one's gonna care if you don't care
[01:40.55]So go and put some highlights in your hair
[01:43.19]’Cause you've gotta highlight what you got
[01:45.21]Even if what you got is not a lot
[01:48.07]You gotta be loud!
[01:50.05]
[01:51.18]You gotta give yourself permission to shine
[01:52.91]To stand up and be proud!
[01:54.39]
[01:58.31]A little less bzzz, a lot more zing
[02:00.92]A little less shh, a lot more schwing
[02:03.55]A little less dressing like your mum
[02:06.03]A little more bah-da, ba ba ba-da bom!
[02:09.43]
[02:11.09]Oh, I look nice. You don't!
[02:14.09]
[02:14.68]No one's gonna tell you when to wiggle your bumba
[02:17.11]
[02:17.46]No one's gonna love you if you don't know the rumba
[02:19.52]
[02:19.94]Everybody loves a little something exotic
[02:22.13]
[02:22.46]But learning a language is over the top –
[02:24.71]
[02:25.03]It doesn't really matter if you don't know nowt!
[02:27.13]
[02:27.44]As long as you dunno it with a bit of clout
[02:29.92]
[02:30.19]The less you have to sell, the harder you sell it
[02:32.71]The less you have to say, the louder you yell it
[02:35.05]The dumber the act, the bigger the confession
[02:37.58]The less you have to show, the louder you dress it
[02:39.95]You gotta get up!
[02:41.60]You gotta get up and be loud!
[02:44.25]
[02:44.85]You gotta give yourself permission to shine
[02:47.14]Stand out from the crowd.
[02:52.42]A little less
[02:54.79]A little more
[02:57.52]A little less
[03:00.17]A little more
[03:03.53]
[03:08.90]No one's going to tell you when to oh, oh, oh
[03:11.23]No one's go to show you when to ha, ha, ha
[03:13.66]If you want a little bit of mm, mm, mm
[03:16.17]You gotta get around going la, la, la
[03:18.77]No one's going to care if you don't care
[03:21.15]So go and put some highlights in your hair
[03:23.63]Coz you gotta highlight what you got
[03:26.45]And what do you got?!
[03:28.58]You gotta be loud!
[03:31.42]You gotta give yourself permission to shine
[03:33.60]To stand out from the crowd
[03:36.45]“You so need a makeover!"
[03:38.55]You gotta be
[03:39.61]Loud*7
[03:44.99]5, 6, 7, 8!
[03:47.81]
[03:50.34]Yeah!
[03:54.18]Rrrrrrrhooo
[03:57.71]Nice Mrs Wormwood, nice!
[04:02.04]“Check out the foot-work, Jennifer Littleton!"
[04:06.72]“I am the Sultan of Samba, baby! Wooh! Yeah!”
[04:11.35]
[04:16.07]You gotta be loud!
[04:18.88]And be gorgeous!
[04:20.70]Stick out from the crowd!
[04:23.98]“Are you listening?!”
[04:26.10]You gotta be loud, loud, loud! Ooh!
[04:31.00]Stand out from the crowd, crowd, crowd!
[04:36.96]Loud x12
[04:46.00]You gotta be LOUD!
