Eliza Doolittle – Pack Up lyrics

Eliza Doolittle – Pack Up lyrics

I get tired, and upset
And I'm trying to care a little less
And I'm on google, I only get depressed
I was taught to dodge those issues I was told

Don't worry, there's no doubt
There's always something to cry about
When you're stuck in an angry crowd
They don't think what they say
Before they open their mouths

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And bury them beneath the sea
I don't care what the people may say
What the people may say about me
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Don't worry about the cavalry
I don't care what the whisperers say
Cause they whisper too loud for me

Hot topic, maybe I should drop it,
It's a touching subject,
And I like to tiptoe round the ship gone down,
Got pennies, but no pounds
So if your business is running out
It's not my business to talk about
They don't think what to say
Before they open their mouths

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And bury them beneath the sea
I don't care what the people may say
What the people may say about me
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Don't worry about the cavalry
I don't care what the whisperers say
Cause they whisper too loud for me

Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet...

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And bury them beneath the sea
I don't care what the people may say
What the people may say about me
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Don't worry about the cavalry
I don't care what the whisperers say
Cause they whisper too loud for me

I feel that this song is about keeping a positive attitude when someone is being mean to you. For example it says that people whisper about you and probably say very mean things. The singer, however, just doesn't care what they say and has a very uplifted spirit the whole song. Sometimes in the song though she talks about being sad, angry, and depressed. These feelings are there to add to the feeling you get when the singer pushes past all of these feelings. For example, if someone is feeling sad because of what someone else said it looks even more inspiring when they build themselves back up and then ignore what people say about them. The singer, Eliza demonstrates this very well in her song. I am a dancer and I happen to be doing a dance to this song and it has a very musical theatre feel to it so that also helps me understand this song better. Overall I really like this song and feel that it is a very positive and inspiring song for anyone who is being bullied or just feels sad.
