Jimmy Buffett - Quietly Making Noise текст песни

Quietly making noise

By: jimmy buffett, michael tschudin

1993

Oscar wilde died in bed

Several floors above my head

Living well beyond his means

In that crazy paris scene

Rain falls down in sheets so clear

And no one ever calls me hear

Travelin by myself these days

Im into jazz and felt berets

Far from that old eastern shore

Searchin for strange metaphors

I dont want to be another victim of fashion

No I dont want to see my name in the paper each day

Hey you can leave that to the young turks

Theyre handsome and dashing

Posing for paparazzis down laguna way

Now down in the metro I feel the world start to multiply

Bastille, rubber wheels, spiked heels

Subterranean lullaby

Met an african prancer, a hemisphere dancer

Spied the ghost of brassens

We smiled at the secret we shared

And I hid it like contraband

Quietly making noise (quietly making noise)

Starts with kindergarten toys

Not too soft, not too loud

Just enough to draw a crowd

Quietly, quietly, quietly making noise

Followed the beat

Hey I found myself in this patois spot

Outside a blizzard was blowin

But inside the joint was hot

Zouk songs, rubber thongs, sing-a-longs

The words flew right by my face

You know rhythm and motions a blamma jamma potion

You cannot erase

Quietly making noise (quietly making noise)

Pissin off the old kill-joys

Glasspacks on an hot mustang

A telecaster with a twang

Quietly, quietly, quietly making noise

Yes

Singers and writers and poets

Have flocked here for centuries

The city of light is built upon mountains of memories

Baritone saxophones, monotones

Speak with a voice Ive heard before

Its a lasting impression

A gypsy expression you cannot ignore

Were quietly making noise (quietly making noise)

Starts with kindergarten toys

Not too soft, not too loud

Just enough to draw a crowd

Quietly, quietly, quietly making noise

Yeah, were quietly making noise (quietly making noise)

Pissin off the old kill-joys

Not too soft, not too loud

Just enough to draw a crowd

Were quietly, quietly, quietly

Quietly, quietly, quietly

Quietly, quietly, quietly making noise

Thats right, ooh yeah

A whole lot of beautiful noise

--spoken:

"oh come on children, play those, play those kindergarten toys.

Everybodys a drummer tonight. all right. let it ring now, let

It ring."
