Don't Speak (Demo) Lyrics
I can see it all in an eyeblink
I know everything about how you are
I can understand exactly how you think
Between you and me it's not very far
Side by side, you and I
With many many years behind us
You let words pass us by
Because we're always together
And we will be forever
Such a special treasure, you and I
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard
No need to tell me you’re my best friend
‘Coz you did watch, you know who you are
Side by side, you and I
Like the birds that that sing at the ocean
Something as deep as you and I
We will be together married
And we will be forever
Such a special treasure, you and I
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard
I was so glad I knew ya
I was just too shy
After words too deep to lie
It’s just that they were so amazing
So let us both stop pretending who we are.
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard
And don't speak
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard
I know everything about how you are
I can understand exactly how you think
Between you and me it's not very far
Side by side, you and I
With many many years behind us
You let words pass us by
Because we're always together
And we will be forever
Such a special treasure, you and I
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard
‘Coz you did watch, you know who you are
Side by side, you and I
Like the birds that that sing at the ocean
Something as deep as you and I
We will be together married
And we will be forever
Such a special treasure, you and I
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard
I was just too shy
After words too deep to lie
It’s just that they were so amazing
So let us both stop pretending who we are.
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard
And don't speak
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
It's nothing new that I've heard

I really like this version. It's really beautiful. I might even like it better than the current "Don't Speak"
Very good demo.
I collect No Doubt rarities and found this one some years ago. I actually have the Storytellers demo (quite clean recorded, but only 1.20) and a longer 'Live Early Demo', which is badly recorded and has much screaming from the audience through it. Lyrics differ a bit, too.
But again, great start for a song that shook the earth (and my world) long ago ;-)
