Donkey Talk Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

Donkey talk 

I can hear the donkey talk 

Words chained out in a line 

Loads of reason not much rhyme 

Finger drumming beats behind 

Donkey talk most of the time 

The conversation peters out 

So you stare down at your shoes 

There's not much more to talk about 

When the silence is confused 

Then our eyes suddenly meet 

And we choose to look away 

That's just where we are today

There's no sense in hanging round 

But we stand there all the same 

You find a verb I pluck a noun 

As the patience starts to strain 

Then our words suddenly clash 

As if there's so much to say 

That's just where we are today 

Photos 

We used to stay up all night 

With our eyes all bloodshot and wonky 

We would hold each other tight 

And talk the back legs off a donkey 

But now I'm wearing its hat 

We can't even laugh at that
