Lyrics for Quietly Making Noise by JIMMY BUFFETT:
| | | Artist: | JIMMY BUFFETT |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Quietly Making Noise | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 81 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
No one ever calls me
here
Traveling by my self these days
I'm into jazz and felt berets
Far from the that old
eastern shore
Searching for strange metaphors
I don't want to be another victim of
fashion
I don't want to see my name in the paper each day
Leave that to the young
Turks
They're more handsome and dashing
Posing for paparazzi's down Laguna way
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,
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, I found myself in this
patois spot
Outside a blizzard was blowing but inside the joint was hot
Zouk songs,
rubber thongs, sing-a-longs
The words flew right by my face
Rhythm and motions, a blamma
jamma potion
You cannot erase
Quietly making noise, making noise
Pissin off the old
killjoys
Glass packs on a hot Mustang
A Telecaster with a twang
Quietly, quietly,
quietly making noise
Singers and writers and poets
Have flocked here for
centuries
The city of light is built upon mountains of memories
Baritone saxophone,
monotones
Speak of the voice I've heard before
It's a lasting impression
A Gypsy
