A Distinctive Sound Lyrics

by Gotye

This will teach them, how to groove
One, two, three, hit!

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e48518-gotye~a_distinctive_sound_lyrics.html ]
Alright, let's get acquainted
Let's get acquainted
Hello there
Let's get acquainted
Music, from the base perspective

This is a journey into sound
A journey which, along the way
Will bring to you new colour,
New dimension, new values
And... a new experience:
Stereophonic sound

And now ladies and gentlemen
Our feature act tonight:

(Opera singing)

Stop!

Stop, hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it, ah!

Come on! (come on, come on)

That was the harpsichord
Nowadays most homes seem to prefer
The television or radio to the harpsichord
But you still hear the piano all the time

The flute couldn't do that!

These are some of the difficulties with being
In this position and talking to you
And just wanting really deeply to relate to you
And touch you; not physically, but with vibration

Aha ha ha!

Aha ha ha!
Aha ha ha!
Aha ha ha!
Aha ha ha!

Never heard metal sound like that before...

The drummer is the heartbeat
Everything comes from him
The beat, the time
He is the heartbeat
It's just like the heart pumping blood to the rest of the body
He is the heartbeat of a band, of a group
He is the heartbeat

I think around the midpoint of my career
I started to experiment with sounds
Then it became very important to me to
Get a distinctive sound
Get a distinctive sound
Get a -get- get a distinctive sound
Get a distinctive sound

Maybe if I spend more time practicing
Eventually, I can get it together

Um, here's some more music
Ah!

Alright, here we go!
Gonna use a little power pips like I showed you before
We're gonna chuck 'em real good
A minor to F!
Just like all the heavy metal guys use, okay?
Let's get some of that smoke, just like on MTV
Yeah, alright!

(Music)
Alright
Yeah, alright
(Would you say that again?)
Alright
Yeah! Aha ha ha!
Let's play a note
Alright
Yeah alright
Come on! (come on, come on)
Here's some more music
Alright
Yeah! Aha ha ha!
Get a distinctive sound
Get a distinctive sound
Get a - get - get a distinctive sound
Get a distinctive sound

We've covered a lot of ground, haven't we?
If there's a part of our story you don't understand
Why don't you turn this record over and start playing over again
Over again
Over again
