The Sounds - Ten Years After

The sounds are in my head, I can’t hear what is said

The sounds are all around, from the sky — from the ground

All I want is just to live, I have everything to give

But the sounds are on my mind, and the answer I can’t find

Rhythm of rain, haunts my brain

Mowing of lawns, hooting horns

There’s no silence I can find, to give me time to rest my mind

The sounds are in my head, I can’t hear what is said

The sounds are all around, from the sky — from the ground

All I want is just to live, I have everything to give

But the sounds are on my mind, and the answer I can’t find

The sounds, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds!

Baby the sounds, sounds on my mind, oh!

Mowing of lawns, hooting horns!

Telephone bell, the sounds of hell!

Trains and planes, rushin' and pushin'

Hustle and bustle, Sounds!

Sounds!

Babe, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds — sounds, sounds, sounds!

Don’t let the sounds in… telephone ringing… Stop!
