Don't Talk About It

(album: Waking Up With The House On Fire - 1984)

I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide
And when I think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
An hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then I stopped believing
But only for a while
When I think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't give it up
Don't count on their loving
Don't give it up, don't try
Don't give it up
Don't count on their loving
Don't give it up, don't try
When I think that love was there
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes
