Lyrics:
Small talk lingering
How has your day been
Fills my ears with
Useless things yeah
I want to rip open your heart and lick it for fun
I want to know what’s shaking inside of that gun
I want to meet you in a thought parade
I want to hear about the things that make you really afraid
Oh yeah!
No more small talk lingering
How has your day been
No more small talk lingering
What is for dinner
I want to meet you and learn what’s inside
I want to bring in to the light those things youre trying to hide
Let’s be the bees that are leaving the hive
I want to hear about the things that makes you feel you’re alive
Oh yeah!
No more small talk lingering
How has your day been
(There's a new restaurant I really want to go to it)
No more small talk lingering
It looks like rain yeah
(The kids are getting so, so big. One is off to college now)
No more small talk lingering
How has your day been
(I've got some mild sciatic pain exacerbated when it rains)
No more small talk lingering
It looks like rain yeah
(Living the dream, new pair of shoes, if any better I'd be you)
ok... more thoughts after a few times through. There are moments of slight dissonance that harken me to XTC... which if you know me, is some of the highest praise I could give. Example at 0:40-0:46 which also happens to fit SO PERFECTLY with the lyrics, which are jarring and wonderful. The harmonies throughout are so pleasant, and just scratch an itch. I'm singing along... like... I can't help it.
Thank you Steve!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was hanging with a friend and let them know how much I hate small talk. Later, I mentioned that I was gonna record music and asked her to give me a title for a song. She said, “small talk. :-)
