about
Keep It Quiet was written in an exceptionally hot summer (1990). Roads were clearly visible on exposed reservoir beds. The global warming debate was underway, but it was a taboo subject. In many ways an assault on nature is a parallel with domestic violence.
lyrics
Scream all you like it won't do any good
They say walls have ears but not for things like this
You might as well be shouting at the wilderness
They cover their ears and bolt the door
They won't hear anything at all
They can't admit it was ever like that
Keep it secret, keep it nice,
Keep it hidden, keep it out of sight,
Keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet
They cover their eyes and the will not see
Their blind eyes stare into infinity
They cant admit it has ever been like that
Keep it miles away, keep it tied and bound
Keep it out of sight, keep it underground
Keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet
Can they taste her blood, can they taste her sweat
Can they hear her screams, can she die just yet?
Keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet
Scream all you like it won't do any good
They say walls have ears but not for things like this
You might as well be shouting at the wilderness
Its too hot to move but we can't stay here
Take a walk down the streets on a reservoir bed
Try not to listen to what the weatherman said
Take a deep breath and prepare for the end
Grit your teeth close your eyes and hold on tight
Will it be all over tonight?
They talk and they talk on the TV shows
But they do nothing as the problem grows
They can't admit it has ever been like that
Keep it out of reach, keep it under wraps
Keep it filed away, keep it under a hat
Keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet
Can they feel her pulse, can they be so estranged
Can they hear her breath, can they ever change
Keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet, keep it quiet
