These Stones Will Shout - The Raconteurs

lyrics:
Well you impress me so completely
I start obsessing to hear from you
Whatever you do, you do sweetly
It takes a lot to not take from you

You're not secure enough to tell me
Your first impression of all these clowns
So you'll be tricky enough to compel me
To take the lead and to speak out loud, yeah

Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go

Grab hold and do not let go

And if you find yourself repeating
Some of those incoherent sounds
Just talking to yourself is cheating
You might as well stick your head in the ground, yeah

Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go

Grab hold and do not let go

I feel compelled to just yell out for you
To say the words that you can't bring out
But I cannot do everything for you
And if I don't then these stones will shout
Yeah, if I don't then these stones will shout
Well, if I don't then these stones will shout

So if I were to just lay here silent
And see if you would take control
The stones below me and may be compiling
And they would wrestle me, pester me, mess with me, just trying to free your soul

Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go

Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go

Grab hold and do not let go
Grab hold and do not let go
Grab hold and do not let go

Okay, TakenChickadee gets a HUGE thumbs up from me for uploading these songs complete with lyrics! Hurray!!! Nice work! Thanks for sharing. I'm totally going to buy the album now.

definitely a biblical concept taken from "I tell you, if these [people] were silent, the very stones would cry out." (Luke 19:40, The New Testament) Jesus said these words as he referenced a verse in the Old Testament---Habakkuk 2:11; thus illustrating that something SO TRUE will be evidenced in some manner---even if the "stones" have to "shout" that truth. cool, huh?

[jaredq123]

[breannacharlotte]

They are?

[AlyssaMC05]

I agree, it kinda has an over the hills sound to it...It's funny though bc I get so protective of Zeppelin that I usually hate it when people compare other bands to them...especially since they're usually lame, but I think the Raconteurs are talented enough that they've earned the right to be compared to my heroes lol

[nirvana4cobain]

ok these guys are good i cant see them breaking up so the white stripes can get back together but i have to admit i do like meg white so dont know

[cuyler1805]
