Kicking Up a Racket Songtext
von Stiff Little Fingers

I sit and I don′t make a sound
While I watch the speakers pound
And mum shouts up to turn it down
Cos I'm waking up half the town
But I don′t hear a word that's said
While the needles hit the red, I'm just

Kicking up a racket
Kicking up a racket

I don′t smoke and I don′t drink
But like to see the max lights blink
They say that they can't sleep a wink
But I don′t want to hear me think
Life's no fun and life is dull
Unless you turn the knobs up full, I like

Kicking up a racket
Kicking up a racket


I know a shop that sells
All you need for decibels
As long as what they got ain′t quiet
Spend every penny in trying to buy it
I like electric toys
I like making noise, I love

Kicking up a racket
Kicking up a racket

Don't care what mom don′t allow
Gonna play it my way anyhow
Bashy tunes speak volumes
Gimme a row, gimme a row, gimme a row
Louder louder louder louder

Kicking up a racket
Kicking up a racket

Here I stand and in my hand
This guitar is really the man
As long as I can go Blam blam
Don't care if you can't hear the band
Don′t care what who else does
Turn it up and feel the buzz, hear me


Kicking up a racket
Kicking up a racket
Attack attack attack it
It′s a racket racket racket
Kicking up a racket
