Let Them All Talk
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.
Hear what I say
See what I do
Believe me now, I'm all over you
All over you
I know a place (I know a place)
A certain very tender spot
To have and to hold
To have and have not
Listening to the sad songs that the radio plays
Have we come this fa-fa-fa to find a soul cliche
Let them talk, let them talk, let them all talk
Let them all talk, let them talk, let them all talk
Let them all talk, let them talk, let them all talk
Let them all talk, let them talk, let them all talk
Oh yeah we're killing time
Just to keep you clocking on
These are the best years of your life
Now they're here and gone
Do the world a service
And you could do yourself a favour
Whose tongue now is tasting last week's flavour
Our day will come (our day will come)
When you have squandered all your youth
To have and to hold
A stranger to the truth
Listening to the sad songs that the radio plays
Have we come this fa-fa-fa to find a soul cliche
