Goes To Eleven

This one goes to eleven
No one's quite as loud
Sends you straight into Heaven
Couldn't be more proud

Amps and strings are quiet things
Until you flip the switch
But the ones that go to ten
Don't satisfy the itch

"Couldn't you just make ten louder?"
He tells me with a sigh
I stare him down, he's such a doubter
In answer, so say I

"This one goes to eleven
It's just a bit more
You would like perhaps just seven?
That would be a bore"

On the stage, the crowd roars for me
Standing firm I see them chant
All the people showing their glee
Give them more than they could want

This one goes to eleven
Why not thirteen, why not twelve?
Take it as a newfound lesson
That's as far as I will delve

@robynmackenzie - 2024-07-23 Hysterical, love that you wrote from Nigel’s perspective! I grew up on this movie and it only gets better. Also I didn’t know there was going to be a sequel, I am also praying it’s as good as the original. Well done! @headfirstonly - 2024-07-22 Lyrics I can not only hear in my head, I can *see* them, too. If you know, you know. (Rob Reiner just finished shooting the sequel; I will be praying "please don't suck" every night.)
