And So The Talking Stopped - The Delgados

When the lines leave nothing but my own space

Will you tell me or let me carry on?

Do you see that half of me is all you really need to get it wrong?

(The actual song begins here)

How can I explain when you know nothing of this game?

And the rules are only mine to know?

Let’s go around where the lies and ties are not found

Take the bait

And just make sure you give all we can take

We only asked you if you made the grade

You’re only wondering, now you’re in the way

Living on a higher plane where nothing seems to stay the same

I tried so hard I almost made it real

Standing by the field and he is telling me he feels it’s got to end

And I stall to think, and I’m heading for the sink

It will take time, but he believes we can be friends

So I walk away, I talk away, I’m perfectly rehearsed in every way

Take the bait

And just make sure you give all we can take

We only asked you if you made the grade

You’re only wondering, now you’re in the way

Take the bait

Just make sure you give all we can take

We only asked you if you made the grade

You’re only wondering, now you’re in the way
