Talk Of The Town Lyrics

Pretenders Talk Of The Town

SUCH A DRAG TO WANT SOMETHING SOMETIME 
ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER I KNOW 
WAS A TIME WANTED YOU FOR MINE 
NOBODY KNEW 
YOU ARRIVED LIKE A DAY 
AND PASSED LIKE A CLOUD 
I MADE A WISH, I SAID IT OUT LOUD 
OUT LOUD IN A CROWD 
EVERYBODY HEARD 
'TWAS THE TALK OF THE TOWN


IT'S NOT MY PLACE TO KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL 
I'D LIKE TO KNOW BUT WHY SHOULD I? 
WHO WERE YOU THEN, WHO ARE YOU NOW? 
COMMON LABOURER BY NIGHT, BY DAY HIGHBROW 
BACK IN MY ROOM I WONDER, THEN I 
SIT ON THE BED, LOOK AT THE SKY 
UP IN THE SKY 
CLOUDS REARRANGE 
LIKE THE TALK OF THE TOWN


MAYBE TOMORROW, MAYBE SOMEDAY 
MAYBE TOMORROW, MAYBE SOMEDAY 
YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR PLACE IN THIS WORLD 
YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR PLACE IN THIS WORLD


OH BUT IT'S HARD TO LIVE BY THE RULES 
I NEVER COULD AND STILL NEVER DO 
THE RULES AND SUCH NEVER BOTHERED YOU 
YOU CALL THE SHOTS AND THEY FOLLOW 
I WATCH YOU STILL FROM A DISTANCE THEN GO 
BACK TO MY ROOM, YOU NEVER KNOW 
I WANT YOU, I WANT YOU BUT NOW 
WHO'S THE TALK OF THE TOWN?
