explanation

where have you been

whose cologne is that

i smell on your skin

when i say, i love you

i hear crickets

ask if you've been faithful

i hear crickets

do you want to breakup?

i hear crickets

tell you that i'm leaving

i hear crickets

indication

of how you feel

show some emotion

and make it real

when i say, i love you

i hear crickets

ask if you've been faithful

i hear crickets

do you want to breakup?

i hear crickets

tell you that i'm leaving

i hear crickets

This wasn't an easy theme. 

So in the end, i went for good ol' hip-hop using a Ravel sample.

Stepping outside into the night, all I can hear is silence,

No sound from the cars, sound from the planes or ambulance sirens,

just the crickets that chirp, small but so loud and filling the airways,

a song that reminds me of home, a resounding noise, reminiscent of yesterdays.

No more man made poison trash,

No more sea pollution splashing,

No more conglomerate cash,

Just chirping, chirping, chirping, chirping.

Chu-CHUR chuchchchUR CHUR CHU chu chu chch etc

Midtempo Trash

As I get on my favourite whites

pull on my pads, not too tight

adjust my cup, you gotta play it safe

I oil my bat, bring out the shine

the finest oak, no cheap old pine

and i step out on to the crease

I notice something wrong

theres a plate and not a wicket

i see my teammates baseball caps

its just not cricket

I couldve sworn this was the place

i feel the blood rush to my face

I guess I should still step up to the plate

I take a swing as he pitches

hit a home run, take that bitches

maybe this isn;t such a bad idea

But still it feels wrong

I miss the sound of ball on wicket

i can see the similarities

but its just not cricket

you break the silence

when I sleep

you haunt me in my dreams

you ignorant creep

you crushed my soul, my anger's blazing deep

you stop me from my goal - to get my beauty sleep!

----
YEAH! you damn crickets! (x ?)
UH!
----

nature is attacking me (attacking me, attacking me)

you may listen (but) you can't see (you can't you can't you can't see)

crickets hiding in the tree

in the grass where I can't see

----
YEAH! you damn crickets! (x ?)
UH!
----

Lyrics:

You're so quiet, why don't you speak your mind

I can hear the crickets, and it's not just in my mind

You never say what you mean anymore

They say I gotta cut you out, and that I gotta lock the door

You're gonna find out what it's like to be on your own 

To be all alone, all alone

You're gonna find out what it's like to be on your own 

All all alone, all alone

Can You Hear The Crickets?
