You never saw my Hamlet
And it was something to see
Hiding under a duvet cover
Tragically
My Macbeth was an error of judgement
And no-one wants to see my Lear
Oh, the quiet revolution's here
In domestic dramas
All across the nation
Gifted amateurs tread the boards all night
Full of inner motivation
"Is this the microwave I see before me
As the clock strikes 3am?"
Thus it would appear
I can hardly wait for my fate to appear
Oh, the quiet revolution's here
Oh, but you keep on rocking
Even though your friends are dropping dead like flies
Or wearing stockings
Keep rocking, yeah yeah yeah
You could have heard a pin drop
At Gatecrasher last Thursday at 4am
People dancing to the rhythm of their own heart beats
1-40 B.P.M.
Oh, you've got to slow down my son
If you wanna know just what's happening here
Oh, the quiet revolution is here
Yeah, I've seen how the world ends
And it's not with a bang
But a whisper
And nobody provided an emotional commentary
Oh, what'ya gonna do with the rest of your life
Now there's never nothing good on TV?
If the world's a stage
Now you may as well be the star of your own play
'Cos the quiet revolution is here to stay
Oh, you could
Keep on rocking
Even though your friends are dropping dead like flies
Or wearing stockings
Yeah, keep rocking
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Shhh shhh shhh shhh
Oh, the quiet revolution is here
This was originally entitled "Donovan", presumably because it bears a resemblance to Donovan's 1966 hit "Sunshine Superman".
