lyrics

WHY CAN'T I FEEL WHAT I SAY?
why can't I feel what I say?
I'll be knocking promoters if they don't produce what I say
what can I say? the PA has got to be real

I can't believe what I see
there's a lonely old sound man
who looks like has Hodgkin's disease
what can he see?
there's only one channel for me
look at the crew they've got nothing to do
cause there's just one suitcase
our man on the board he's got only one cord
a speaker's cracking jokes

look at this trouble I'm in
when I say to the crowd I can't hear me too loud in the mix
I need a fix and the spies in my hat swear to this

why can't I see where I be?
there's two lights in this place
but they're over by Pacman, not me
I can't see Pete and he's jumping all over
I can't believe what you say
how the big rooms in town all have
sound systems like a TV
I can't hear ME
I've got nothing to say or to see

here in this mess I can't get a witness
when it comes to contracts
there'll be a clause-if I can't hear applause
the beatings will come after
the dying from the laughter

now I can hear what I say
there's an acre of speakers on both sides
whenever we play (don't go away)
there's so many speak's
there's no room for seats
but I hear myself anyway
