Sometimes, don’t you feel like telling the world to shut their yapper? I’ve always loved Julian Cope’s “World Shut Your Mouth” cause of its unusual sentiment. The music video is unusual too, checkout the unique mic stand he uses.
Julian was in a band I liked from the 80s called The Teardrop Explodes.
WORLD SHUT YOUR MOUTH
by Julian CopeShe’s flying in the face of fashion now
Seems to have a will of her own
She’s flying in the face of fashion, yeah
Seems to have it all chromed
The time was going, so frequently
She said if I try harder again
She’s flying in the face of fashion now
Sells the world annually to a friend
She’s singin’ world shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
She always used to live so secretly
I’d be seen in the avenue sound
And taking on the role of the four winds now
Having tea there out in the crowd
She’s flying in the face of fashion, yeah
Seems to have a will of her own
In lieu of what you’re saying so frequently
She seems to have it all adds up
She’s singin’: world shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth (fade)
