Learning To Be Silent.

VI
Swallowing my words
Staring at the floor
Counting little cracks in the tile
Struggling to smile without choking
Learning to be silent
ETHEL
Watching how the dust
Dances out the door
Noticing my hands start to shake
Contemplating taking up smoking
Learning to be silent

VI & ETHEL
Always hearing
ETHEL
"Hush, Ethel!"
VI"Please, Vi!"
VI & ETHEL
"Let's not have this conversation"
ETHEL
And so I stand by
While my mind takes a small vacation
VI & ETHEL
La la la la la la la la

VI
Making little sounds
Other folks ignore
ETHEL
Quieting the beat of my heart
Never being part of the moment
VI & ETHEL
Learning to be silent
VI
Learning there are some topics that we don't even mention
ETHEL
And if they come up, then we try to be vague
VI
There are subjects from which we divert all attention
ETHEL
And some we avoid like the plague

VI & ETHEL
I'm
Becoming a mime
VI
Biting my tongue
ETHEL
Biding my time

VI
Trying not to scream
ETHEL
Managed it before
VI & ETHEL
Knowing if I'm going to survive
Then, dammit
ETHEL
I've got to practice
VI
Practice
VI & ETHEL
Learning hmm hmm hmm





I hope I can get to sing this song, at least! It feels so deep.

PAPABELLL (AKA: Build, de HouseMartins)

Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down

From meccano to legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand

Its build
Its build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Its build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

Whistling men in yellow vans
They can and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked it out
And wrote it down in case of doubt

Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick
Its wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick

Its build
Its build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Its build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

Its build

Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
Its in with suits and new recruits
Its build
