Shut Up

Piano in the hall
My first ever sounds
Hanging on the black notes
With both pedals down

Heard the shout
Through the paper wall
Exasperated neighbours call

Shut Up
Shut Up
For God's Sake - Shut Up

Just when a boy needs to be told - that he's good
Just when a boy needs to be told - that he's good

The echo of that shout
Never left my mind
Always in the back
Of all my happy time

Carving slicing
Scarring my voice
Killing pleasure
Killing joy

Shut Up
Shut Up
For God's Sake - Shut Up

Just when a boy needs to be told - that he's good
Just when a boy needs to be told - that he's good
