Analysis of Have your say.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Say less by saying more
And say more by saying less.
Speak when your spoken to
And when you're spoken to speak.
A gain!
Say more by saying less
And say less by saying more.
When you're spoken to speak
And when you speak be spoken to.
A gain!
Say less by saying more
And say more by saying less.
Speak when you're spoken to
And when you're spoken to speak.
A gain!
Say more by saying less
And say less by saying more.
When you're spoken to speak
And when you speak be spoken to.
A gain!
Say less by saying more
And say more by saying less.
Speak when you're spoken to
And when you're spoken to speak.
Again!
Alright then.
