Awfully Quiet - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

I like noise, that’s why I’m livin' where I am.

I 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 in an outta hand crowd

I like noise and it’s gotta be loud.

Awfully quiet, Awfully quiet, Awfully quiet

It was awfully quiet on the streets yesterday

people on the streets had little to say

well I walked the streets and barely heard a sound

it was awfully quiet on the streets downtown.

Sometimes quiet’s okay, sometimes quiet’s alright.

Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night.

It was awfully quiet and 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.

Sometimes quiet’s okay, sometimes quiet’s alright.

Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night.

Awfully quiet, Awfully quiet, Awfully quiet

It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise

I got on the blower called up the boys

I was doing so bad I could barely hack it they came to my house and they kicked up a racket

ooh-ah (2x)

they turned my place on its ear ooh

the boy’s began to riot ah it felt so good to hear ooh

on a day that was so quiet ah I screamed and cheered them on ooh

and I helped out where I could ah and when they all were gone ooh

I was feeling good!

I like noise that’s why I’m livin' where I am.

I 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 in an outta hand crowd

I like noise and it’s gotta be loud.
