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.

Don’t take an eye for an eye,

The world will go blind, and we won’t know why.

Talk it through, talk it out.

Show the whole world what you care about.
