[Chorus]
Why do you talk so loud?
Why do you talk so?
Why do you talk so loud?
Why do you talk so?

[Verse 1]
Passing grammatical mistakes
Totally wrecked and polemic in the way he talks
Vocal sabbatical, delayed by churning out the same

[Chorus]
Why do you talk so loud?
Why do you talk so?
Why do you talk so loud?
Why do you talk so?

[Verse 2]
We don't got alarms we just use my Dad's arms
Excess until we stop hearts
"I think you're trying too hard with your lungs in tar
And your kitchen full of pop stars"

[Verse 3]
And I've been thinking lots about your mouth
A conversation superseded by the way he talks
I'd be an anchor but I'm scared you'd drown
It's safer on the ground

[Chorus]
Why do you talk so loud?
Why do you talk so?
Why do you talk so loud?
Why do you talk so?

[Verse 4]
Passing grammatical mistakes
Totally wrecked and polemic in the way he talks
Vocal sabbatical, delayed by churning out the same

[Outro]
Why do you talk so loud?
('Cause I've been thinking lots about your mouth)
Why do you talk so?
(A conversation superseded by the way he talks)
Why do you talk so loud?
(And I've been thinking lots about your mouth)
Why do you talk so?

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
