Текст Del Amitri — Talk It To Death

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

Before we 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

Talk it to death
Talk it to death
Mmm, talk it to death
Talk it to death

Talk, talk, talk, talk
