The Sounds

(album: Alvin Lee & Company - 1972)

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, rushing and pushing
Hustle and bustle, Sounds! Sounds!
Babe, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds sounds, sounds, sounds!
Don't let the sounds in......telephone ringing.......Stop!
