Talking To The Wall Lyrics - Joan Armatrading

There's a very old expression 

Called talking to the wall 

And it means 

You get no answers 

Just stone silence 

But walls have ears 

And you can hear me 

When I call 

I can feel it 

Feel it in my bones 

You really mean it 

It is not a hoax

Sham bam 

Thank you ma'am 

Not for you 

You're bona fide... ah 

You don't come on 

In a trojan horse 

No hidden wires 

To make me fall 

What I see 

Is what I get 

Straight and true 

My solid wall 

You keep my chin up 

Stabilise my highs and lows 

You're extra special 

Nothing superficial 

Photos 

You see right through me 

Rust 

Cracks 

Warts and all 

Nothing changes 

I'm the last word 

In what you want 

You're as solid 

As a wall 

and I can 

Lean against you 

I can tell you 

All my troubles 

And I know 

You'll hear me 

Walls have ears 

You can hear me 

When I call 

Talking to the wall
