Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Talk Is Cheap

Kicked your gift-horse in the teeth

Crowd gathered round in the street

You killed your savior new one can't be found

Talk is cheap your savior's highway bound

You read the tabloids every day

They're giving lots of things away

They went to build you up

So they can bring you down

Talk is cheap it's gonna

Could make them a million pounds

Now baby don't put your business on the telephone

Tell your girlfriend just to leave me alone

Tell her to watch her mouth before she talks to anybody anybody

Oh 'cause talk is cheap it comes with the territory

Sometimes it's back-to-front sometimes it's upside down

Put your money where your mouth is when you come around

Backbiters and syndicators walking from Chinatown

Oh talk is cheap why don't you lay your money down

Well they say you can't shut up a god damn fool

Ain't no exception to the rule

It's blah, blah, blah, blah

Just like a nursery rhyme

Talk is cheap almost all the time

Alright

Yes, talk is cheap

Almost all the time
