Too Much Talk

lyrics

TOO MUCH TALK

I’ve been following my feet / To escape my milieu
And faces shining on a screen / The little people chasing hopeless dreams
The planet Earth is full of noise / In every house, in every home
You can’t escape the shouting voice / Or what it’s telling you
It calls you on your mobile phone / You’re hounded by the ringtone
You’re never really left alone / Its claws are in to you

And there’s too many thoughts and too much talk
In the world of a modern man
No rest or peace / You live on your feet / Doing what you can
Troubles multiplying until you’re reeling
The world can make you feel like disappearing

Bells and whistles follow every step
The tracksuit in the bus-stop sending text after text
While screens that flicker fill each window-pane
Each a soulless vacuum with its hollow fame
And the world of man is full of noise / In every house, in every home
So you cannot hear the little voice / When it speaks to you
There comes a point in every life / A moment when you realise
The world you used to recognise / Holds no place for you

And there’s too many thoughts and too much talk
In the world of a modern man
No rest or peace / You live on your feet / Doing what you can
Troubles multiplying until you’re reeling
The world can make you feel like disappearing
