Wired for Sound Lyrics

I like small speakers
I like tall speakers
If they've music they're wired for sound

[Verse 1]
Walking about with a head full of music
Cassette in my pocket and I'm gonna use it
Stereo
Out on the street
, you know

Ohohohohohohoho, oho

[Verse 2]
Into the car, go to work and I'm cruising
I never think that I'll blow all my fuses
Traffic flows
Into the breakfast show

Ohohohohohohoho, oho
Oh, oh, oh

[pre-Chorus]
Power from the needle to the plastic
AM, FM, I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found
And I'm wired for sound
I was small boy who don't like his toys
I could not wait to get wired for sound

[Verse 3]
I met a girl and she told me she loved me
I said: "You love me, then love means
You must like what I like
My music is dynamite"

Ohohohohohohoho, oho

She said: "I'm not a girl you can put on at a standby
I am a girl who demands that her love is amplified
Switching to overdrive"

Ohohohohohohoho, oho
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Power from the needle to the plastic
AM, FM, I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found
And I'm wired for sound

Power from the needle to the plastic
AM, FM, I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found
'Cause I'm wired for sound
I like small speakers (I like small speakers)
I like tall speakers (I like tall speakers)
If they've music, they're wired for sound

I like small speakers (I like small speakers)
I like tall speakers (I like tall speakers)
If they've music, they're wired for sound

I like small speakers (I like small speakers)
I like tall speakers (I like tall speakers)
If they've music, they're wired for sound

[spoken]
I like small speakers
I like tall speakers
Wall speakers
Most of all I like
Loud speakers

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
