Eliza Doolittle – Pack Up

  General Comment:I like this song. Like others have said, its meaning is self-explanatory. Pack Up is about not caring what others think of you and to just let go, and be carefree. The video shows this carefree attitude too. I love the jazzy aspect to the song and Lloyd Wade's voice.

  General Comment:I think the meaning is pretty damn obvious here.
  
  
  "I don't care what the people may say, what the people may say about me"
  
  It's that whole critiques mess. What's interesting to me is that Eliza had someone else singing that chorus ("Pack up your drama in your old, big big, and bury them beneath the sea", as well as the second part), as if the guy was talking to her, saying she should care about what people say. After the guy sings his part, Eliza sings that first verse I put there.
  
  I do find the theme extremely blent (and a LOT of new and even older artists use it in their songs), but the song, with its happy form, seems to be such a helper. Someone helped Eliza with this problem, and, in order get her attention, even told her: "don't worry 'bout the cavalry".

  General Comment:I don´t care what the whisperers say, cause they whisper to loud for me.........
  For me that´s defenitely the best part of the lyrics. Maybe they should print it and make a poster for in high schools...? That would be fun.

    I didn't know whining was better than messaging to me about it.

  I get tired
  And upset
  And i’m trying to care a little less
  When I google I only get depressed
  I wast 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
  
  [chorus]
  Pack up your troubles in you 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 get your old grin back
  Don’t worry ’bout the cavalry
  I don’t care what the whisperers say
  Cos’ they whisper too loud for me.
  
  Hot topic
  Maybe I should drop it
  It’s a touchy subject
  And I like to tiptoe round the tiff (though it's "shit" in her official video) goin’ down
  You got penny, but no pound
  Your business is running out
  ‘not my business to talk about
  They don’t think what they say before they open their mouths.
  
  [chorus]
  Pack up your troubles in you 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 get your old grin back
  Don’t worry ’bout the cavalry
  I don’t care what the whisperers say
  Cos’ they whisper too loud for me.

  [chorus]
  Pack up your troubles in you 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 get your old grin back
  Don’t worry ’bout the cavalry
  I don’t care what the whisperers say
  Cos’ they whisper too loud for me.
  
  Yeahh yeah yeah
  Yeah yeah
  Yeah

  General Comment:I thought it was "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag" from the old world war one song? You know, "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile"?

  General Comment:Love this song! Perfect for the summer, noticed a couple mistakes though I think:
  
  In the first verse, it is "I was taught to dodge those issues, I was told..." - rather than touch.
  
  And the chorus;
  "Pack up your troubles in your old, big bag
  And bury them beneath the sea" :]

    I think moneybox is right. I was sure it was "Pack up your troubles in your old, big bag, And bury them beneath the sea", and was almost convinced I was wrong (and disappointed that the lyrics weren't as good as I thought they were) by seeing these incorrect lyrics everywhere I looked on the web.
    
    And moneybox is right about that line in the first verse too.
    
    Sort them out.
