The Man Who Was Too Loud Lyrics - Singles - Frank Black And The Catholics

Though he loved to rock and roll 

All these many years 

He cared about the old people's 

And little children's ears 

Though he was a guitar man 

He reflected and he vowed 

"Never will I ever be 

No, never, never again 

The man who was too loud" 

Johnny's not a poor man 

No, he never gets him down 

Now that he is, free he is not proud 

He don't need the power 

Just to make a sound 

He is not the man that he used to be 

Oh, no, the man who was too loud 

I will play softly 

I will play softly 

I will play softly now 

'Cause I was the man who was too loud 

It's not because he don't respect 

The popular music style 

You know I saw him open up 

For the kind of the surf guitar 

Do not think he does not like 

The cheering of the crowd 

No, he is glad that they came to see 

The man who used to be 

The man who was too loud 

Johnny is a rich man 

Yeah, he still gets around 

He is glad to be the car who meowed 

He don't need the power 

Just to get his sound 

He is not the man that he used to be 

Oh no, the man who was too loud 

I will play softly 

I will play softly 

I will play softly now 

'Cause I was the man who was too loud
