I Hear Talk

(album: Writing On The Wall - 1986)

It's never been easy living with you
Dish of the season fishing for truth
But we got it rolling right on the track
Here's to the future with no turning back
We're taking half and half in mystery
We're making love to love so easily
And still I can't believe what's going round
I don't believe you'd ever let me down

I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall
Too many private eyes and party lines
Secret signs friends who seem to know it all
I hear talk, I hear talk

Talk
I look in your eyes and what do I see
Everything I needed looking at me
Beyond all suspicion dreams on the side
Hold that position ticket to ride
So when it's all wrapped up
Like it's meant to be
The only trap that's left is jealousy
And still I can't believe what's going round
I don't believe you'd ever let me down

I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall
Too many private eyes and party lines
Secret signs friends who seem to know it all
I hear talk, I hear talk

Chinese whispers circulate
There's a news man leaning on the garden gate
If you don't wanna headline better use your head
'Cause I heard someone say something you said

I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall
Too many private eyes and party lines
Secret signs friends who seem to know it all
I hear talk, I hear talk

Talk talk talk
