Something to shout about
[original lyrics - by David Macleod music writtend and performed by Melsia Kelly (daughter)]
Something to shout about
Don’t ask me to chill and enjoy the quiet
I’d rather get freaky and cause a riot
Silence is golden if you’re ready for the grave
I ‘d rather get sassy and misbehave
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
I wont sing for Jehovah or jump for Jesus
Id rather dance with the devil like a cracked up diva
Don’t want to cry in the chapel all on my own
Id rather growl and snarl like a dog with a bone
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
Don’t wanna be a prude like years ago
I’d rather spin round the pole like a 5 dollar ho
Don’t want to be sedated or start to fade out
Id rather loose control and knock myself out
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
I don’t need your drugs or a chemical lie
I’d rather get high on my own supply
Don’t want to follow on with the rest of the sheep
I wanna sow what I want no matter what I reap
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
So stand on your chair and kick away for the drop
I’d rather live on the edge and never ever stop
Your moan follows moan as your sigh follows sigh
I’ve a million things to do before I finally die
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
Something to shout about
Don’t ask me to chill and enjoy the quiet
I’d rather get freaky and cause a riot
Silence is golden if you’re ready for the grave
I ‘d rather get sassy and misbehave
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
I wont sing for Jehovah or jump for Jesus
Id rather dance with the devil like a cracked up diva
Don’t want to cry in the chapel all on my own
Id rather growl and snarl like a dog with a bone
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
Don’t wanna be a prude like years ago
I’d rather spin round the pole like a 5 dollar ho
Don’t want to be sedated or start to fade out
Id rather loose control and knock myself out
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
I don’t need your drugs or a chemical lie
I’d rather get high on my own supply
Don’t want to follow on with the rest of the sheep
I wanna sow what I want no matter what I reap
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about
So stand on your chair and kick away for the drop
I’d rather live on the edge and never ever stop
Your moan follows moan as your sigh follows sigh
I’ve a million things to do before I finally die
Something to shout about, something to shout about
Something to get crazy and loud about
Don’t want to whimper don’t want to pout
I just need something to shout about

Nicely done! Very different sounding voice, she has--sort of Janis Joplin does Be-Bop, with this one. :)

yeah I agree - she's recently moved more towards blues and jazz though :-)
thank you so much for taking the time to read watch and comment
