It's My Life

Talk Talk It's My Life Lyrics
1.It's My Life

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Funny, how I find myself in love with you?
If I could buy my reasoning, I'd pay to lose
One half won't do, I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
(It never ends)

Funny, how I blind myself, I never knew?
If I was sometimes played upon, afraid to lose
I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
(It never ends)

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends


2.Dum Dum Girl

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Dum, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl

Another sigh with no regret
More coins inside her hands
One time to learn respect
Now mercenary she stands

I'm no boy
Stealing pennies from the poor
Break it down
Can't you see she's

Dum, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl

Another hand upon her hair
Time probably erased
Distaste and so she's left
Where guilt is out of place

I'm no boy
Stealing pennies from the poor
Break it down
Can't you see she's

Dum, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl

I'm no boy
Stealing pennies from the poor
Break it down
Can't you see she's

Dum, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl, the dum dum girl
...


3.Such a Shame

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

Such a shame to believe in escape
'A life on every face', but that's a change
Until I'm finally left with an '8'
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share, it's a shame

(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste
(Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
It's a shame

The dice decide my fate, that's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, I don't care
Maybe it's unkind if I should change
A feeling that we share, it's a shame

(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste
(Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
Such a shame

Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know
If I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Write across my name, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste
(Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
Such a shame


4.Call in the Night Boy

Lyricist:Simon Brenner, Mark David Hollis

Say goodnight
Every hour brings the morning of my life
Out of time
Every step I take I'm further down the line

Here I stand left behind
My eyes open wide
If you need me you should try

Calling the night boy
Calling
Calling the night boy

Say goodnight
Every hour brings the morning of my life
Out of tune
Every breath I take, I take it over you

I don't care what people say
I don't care if night is day
I'll remember if you say

Calling the night boy
Calling
Calling the night boy
Calling

Here I stand left behind
My eyes are open wide
If you need me you should try

Calling the night boy
Calling
Calling the night boy
Calling

Calling the night boy
Calling the night boy

Calling the night boy
Calling
Calling the night boy
Calling


5.Does Caroline Know?

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

Maybe when the heat's away you're fine
To put another drink away is out of line, out of line

So easy with a thief to blame, for breaking every pledge I've
made
Does it matter if I can't say, Caroline knows

Every little accident takes time
Forget about mistakes I've made they're left behind, left behind

So easy with a thief to blame, for breaking every pledge I've
made
Does it matter if I can't say, Caroline knows, Caroline knows

So easy with a thief to blame, for breaking every pledge I've
made
Does it matter if I can't say, does it matter if I can't say,
Caroline knows


6.Tomorrow Started

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

Don't look back until you try
A line so openly a lie
Outside of you
It's just tomorrow starting

I've said I'm wrong when I've been right
I've seen times when I've been sure
But still I find, I'm just the first that you take
Are there reasons everybody pays?

They never seem to be any use
They never seem to be any use
It's just tomorrow starting

Don't look back until you've tried
With time you'll endlessly arrive
Outside of use
With just tomorrow starting

See my eyes
Tell me I'm not lying
I'm just the first that you take
Are there reasons everybody pays?

They never seem to be any use
They never seem to be any use
It's just tomorrow starting

See my eyes
Tell me I'm not lying
I'm just the first that you take
Are there reasons everybody pays?

They never seem to be any use
They never seem to be any use
They never seem to be any use
It's just tomorrow starting


7.The Last Time

Lyricist:Ian Curnow, Mark David Hollis

One by one
Every courtesy is gone
And the show begins

Bring on the clowns
Pain is quiet
I've laughed at silence
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time

Sometimes one
Sometimes each of us is wrong
But the show begins

Bring on the clowns
Blind to reason
These eyes are dreaming
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time
Let the show begin

Bring on the clowns
Smiling sweetly
Doubt may leave me
And for the last time
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time
Let the show begin

Let the show begin
For the last time
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time
For the last time
For the last time
For the last time
For the last time


8.Renée

Lyricist:Mark David Hollis

Well, baby how the weeks fade
Baby, was the best part of your youth a sensation
Yeah, that's a change
I never thought I'd end up fooling you

Do you hear what they say?
All these people living up in my street
Well they say
'Out of touch, she lives in faded dreams'

Renee, Renee, Renee, Renee
Baby, how the weeks fade
Baby, how the streets change
Renee, Renee, Renee, Renee
Baby, how the weeks fade

And maybe when the cheat plays
Maybe when the ace falls from his suit
And he tells you
'Yeah, that's the game, I didn't want to lose it on the two'

You're playing his way
But the prize that you've been losing was youth
And I say, 'Throw the ace and face up to the truth'

Renee, Renee, Renee, Renee
Baby, how the weeks fade
Baby, how the streets change
Renee, Renee, Renee, Renee
But baby, how the weeks fade

Renee, Renee, Renee, Renee
Baby, how the weeks fade
Baby, how the streets change
Renee, Renee, Renee, Renee
But baby, as the weeks change

And we've seen quite a few
I don't know who's fooling who
I'm fooling you, I'm fooling you


9.It's You

Say it again
Heart of stone
Red on your face
So alone
Say it again
And I'll know it's you
God only knows

Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain, why refuse?
It's you

Say it again
Heart of sand
Tears on your face
'Nothing stands'
God only knows
I've noticed you
Say it again

Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain, why refuse?
It's you

Say it again
I know it's you
God only knows

Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain, why refuse?
It's you

Talk in rhymes about the world watching you
It's you
So unwise about the girl

It's you
Why do lies about the girl bother you?
It's you
Tired of waiting to explain
