Fighting Talk

Lyrics by：David Gray

Arranged by：Ben De Vries/Clune

Produced by：David Gray/Ben De Vries

Won't you give me just a minute here for heaven's sake

Got Mother Nature burning at the stake

Out here slicing up the cake

Like pigs in clover

Wanna soar wanna glide wanna run with the breeze

In circumstances such as these

It's enough to keep your sky from folding over

Oh boy won't you give it up?

All night like the needle got stuck

D'you ever stop?

Just once could you lighten up

You want it all with a cherry on top

I wonder what

You're so frightened of

Girl I love it you're so free from care

You see the good in people everywhere

While me I stare but all I see

Are the same patterns

Got a smile in your eyes keeping me arm's length

If you ain't got the guile then what use is strength

You're running rings round me like Saturn

Oh boy won't you give it up?

All night like the needle got stuck

D'you ever stop?

Comes a time when it's kicking off

Ding ding really cutting up rough

Are you man enough?

To say it soft

I'm tired of living for things that I just can't touch

A penny for your thoughts you're not saying much

You were never one to sugar coat it

Well damn this melody yeah damn this tune

Damn the lyric running round my head all afternoon

Damn the swooning sentimental tunesmith wrote it

Oh boy won't you give it up?

All night like the needle got stuck

D'you ever stop?

Comes a time when it's getting rough

Ding ding really kicking off

Are you man enough

To say it soft?

Boy listen up

I heard quite enough

Of this fighting talk baby

Boy listen up

I heard quite enough

Of this fighting talk

And I wonder what

I wonder what

You're so frightened of baby

I wonder what

I wonder what

I wonder what

Oh boy won't you give it up?

All night like the needle got stuck

D'you ever stop?

D'you ever stop d'you ever?

Comes a time when it's getting rough

Ding ding really kicking off

Are you man enough?

Are you man enough

To say it soft?

To say it soft
