Bobs When We Start To Sing Lyrics

When We Start To Sing Lyrics

Barking and grunting and shouting like fools

  In stairwells and bathrooms and dry swimming pools

  Places where reverb resounds with a ring

  Why do the cops come when we start to sing?



At the party we were wailing

It was getting late and we were getting pretty pissed

We hit a chord and how it buzzed

It felt as good as being kissed



The four of us have a group

But we're not always a hit

Sometimes the guests aren't too impressed

The ask us "please" won't you quit all that



  Barking and grunting and shouting like fools

  In stairwells and bathrooms and dry swimming pools

  Places where reverb resounds with a ring

  Why do the cops come when we start to sing?



We took ourselves out to the parking lot

And tried to find that sweet sound again

"Cut out that noise" the next door neighbor yelled

As he turned his stereo up to ten



There's a place for us

Somewhere where we'll find our sound

An empty church with a holy echo

Or a subway tunnel underground, we'll be



  Barking and grunting and shouting like fools

  In stairwells and bathrooms and dry swimming pools

  Places where reverb resounds with a ring

  Why do the cops come when we start to sing?



    At four in the morning if your window's open

    We'll be crooning in your dreams

    Searching for chords and moaning the blues

    Sorry if it sounds like screams



  Barking and grunting and shouting like fools

  In stairwells and bathrooms and dry swimming pools

  Places where reverb resounds with a ring

  Why do the cops come when we start to sing
