With apologies to Depeche Mode, every parent knows the moment things go quiet is when you need to worry. That's when they've got the lid off the Sudocrem, or discovered how to take the remote control apart, or decided to start climbing the bookshelves, or, or, or...
(If you don't know the original song, the following probably won't make sense. I'd suggest you check it out here first. Or on Spotify, or something. It is awesome.)
Anyway, ploughing on regardless, here's my alternative lyrics:
Don't Enjoy The Silence
Noises you make
Gives me headaches
But I wouldn't swap
Loudness for silent fun.
So suspiciously
Panic floods me
Can't you understand
Oh my little ones
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is you, safe from harm
When the noise stops, oh how my heart drops
All I feel is alarm
Toys are broken
Harsh words spoken
But you're up to things
When there's quietness.
You are so cute
But when on mute,
Walls get made a mess
In indelible.
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is you, safe from harm
When the noise stops, oh how my heart drops
All I feel is alarm
This is so funny and so clever! I remember the original song and your words fit so well. Polly.
