Talk It To Death - Del Amitri

You have to laugh a lot at what we throw away that half the Earth’s not got

And who’s in charge when there’s barbed-wire fences 'round the graveyards

And I know it’s about time we got to the point we’ve been denying

Maligning problems of the world is fine

But I can’t keep talking when it’s running through my mind

So I’ve got the feeling and you’ve got the feeling I guess

It’s on the tips of our tongues it’s at the base of our breath

But though the night is young it will grow up before too long

So say yes… before we talk talk talk it to death

Beneath the sewers there’s stone

Beneath the stone there’s the water which we pipe into our homes

So when the rich mock what’s below them

They mock the whiskey and the beer and every burgundy they own

And I know now who’s in love with you so let’s stop the conversation and see

I don’t want you to think or hesitate when I declare that who to be me

So I’ve got the feeling and you’ve got the feeling I guess

It’s on the tips of our tongues it’s at the base of our breath

But though the night is young it will grow up before too long

So say yes… before we talk talk talk it to death

Okay girl, we both know outside this room there’s boardrooms of creeps

Calling famine kids cannibals and killing for cameras

But tonight, it’s right, and forgive me for noticing

You’re wearing a dress

So let’s not talk this to death

Now I’m stuffing coins into a meter

And I’m cold and I’m bored and I’ve wasted all my food

My mind is rotting while my eyes are glued

To the last few minutes of the flickering tube

And we know things get repeated, so no one gives themselves away

We try to disguise our feelings, but we just talk them all completely away

So I’ve got the feeling and you’ve got the feeling I guess

It’s on the tips of our tongues it’s at the base of our breath

But though the night is young it will grow up before too long

So say yes… before we talk talk talk it to death
