She's been talking - The Muttonbirds

At the high tide line

Drift-wood and shells

That's where she said we could leave our clothes

Where the moonlight dissolves on the wet sand

There's no-one here tonight
The whole town's still at the show
She said she'd seen me come alone
And did I need a lift back home, 'cause she was leaving


Well some people you can see right though

But I never, never guessed how much she knew


And that she's been talking

She's been talking

She's been talking to my friends


I hated it tonight
I hate her precious scene
The way they all compete
And the way the wipe their feet on each other

But I'd never let her see
No I never, never wanted charity

But now she's been talking
She's been talking
She's been talking to my friends


Car headlights creep

Across the sea

Now she's swimming

Close to me

And she

And she

She


She's been talking
She's been talking

She's been talking to my friends
