Content  –  A funky song that deals with negative feelings and issues of self control.  Arguments and different points of view are a fact of life, but - whatever the problem - it’s always best to talk it through and find a solution. The song’s simple structure and immediate appeal make it a good choice for PSHE or assembly.

Lyrics Sample

I’ve got rights and so have you.

We have diff’rent points of view.

Here’s what everyone should do:

Just talk it through, just talk it through.

People fall out, all around us.

It never helps, if you make a fuss.

Keep your head, keep your cool.

Never let anger take you for a fool.

I’ve got rights and so have you... (etc.)
