Talk of the Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A few weeks have passed
And Abby and Daniel are still madly
Hopelessly in love
Try as they might
It's impossible for them to hide it
And Why should they?
And it is equally obvious
That Daniel's Brother Henry
Does not approve
No –
Not one little bit
And Henry plans to do something
About it
Do you see them
Do you hear them?
They're talking about you
I believe them
I agree with them
You will bring our
Great house down
You will bring our great house down
You're the talk of the town
I know you want her
But don't you trust her
Our wealth is all she craves
Can you see it now
Can you feel it how
She'll drag our
Good name
Down
She will drag our good name down
She's the talk of the town (aow!)
You couldn't be more wrong (no)
I won't hear your lies
‘Never felt so strong
‘Never felt so right (no)
No matter what they say
No matter what they do (no!)
I will find a way (ey)
The life I choose (oh oh oh!)
This will break you down
Turn your world around
This will seal your fate
Nothing good awaits
This will spell your doom
On the road to ruin
When she's got your gold
She'll swallow your soul
Don't you judge us
Why begrudge us
The love that we have found?
Are you jealous
Can you tell us why
You want to bring us down
You don't know me
‘You could only
See with honest eyes
It is obvious
You are envious
So you're trying to
Drag us down
This is why you drag us down
You're the talk of the town
I will break you down
Turn your world around
I will seal your fate
Nothing good awaits
I will spell you doom
On the road to ruin
I can't wait to tell dad
It will drive him mad
You couldn't be more wrong
I will break you down
We won't hear your lies
Turn your world around
We never felt so strong
I will seal your fate
We never felt so right
Nothing good awaits
No matter what you say
I will spell your doom
No matter what you do
On the road to ruin
We will find our way
I can't wait to tell dad
The life we choose
It will drive him mad
(Aaa!)
