Small Talk Stinks Lyrics - In The Flat Field - Bauhaus

Small talk stinks 

Small talk stinks 

Small talk stinks 

See the young man in his new gown 

Small talk stinks 

Talking up to his bouffant drag 

Something that he's never had 

He says he loves you with flowers 

A sentence should be like a serpent 

Quick with a sting in its tail 

String me a line that has meaning and depth 

There's no small talk with walky talkies 

Small talk stinks. 

I said it stinks 

Small talk stinks 

Small talk stinks. 

You whisper sweet nothings chit-chat-back-chat 

There's no idle gossip in braille 

Taking combs three times an day 

Twice an hour 

Indentikit cute lips from wall to wall 

See the young man in his new gown 

Stand in line for the photo call 

Talking up to his bouffant drag 

Small talk stinks 

Small talk stinks 

Small talk stinksSmall talk stinks
