ALL YOU DO IS TALK

Help yourself don’t say a thing
Your love won't show in anything at all
If all you do is talk

Sadly I remain in need
Of all the things you say
But leave in speak
All you do is talk

Help yourself don't think
Help yourself don't speak
Help yourself don't say a thing at all
You're lucky words don’t bleed

You time the end of all we see
You say we're on our way
And all will be
Alone in everything

You say it's all we'll ever need
You've found an easy way
But still you weep
Alone in everything

Help yourself don’t think
Help yourself don’t speak
Help yourself don’t say a thing at all
You're lucky words don’t bleed

Help yourself don't say a thing
What love you show won't mean a thing at all
If all you do is talk

Sadly we remain to see
What brings an end is also what we need
All you do is talk

Help yourself don’t think
Help yourself don’t speak
Help yourself don’t say a thing at all
You're lucky words don’t bleed

The last song that's grabbed me off baby 81, and one of the best. That intro is shoegaze through and through, all the better for it.

preciosa canción, los dos primeros minutos son impresionantes, quedaron rastros del howl. No le había puesto tanta atención hasta ayer, eso que escucho el baby 81 desde el día que salió. Cada día "descubro" una canción nueva. Fucking amazing! ja.

I feel horrible and just absolutely wrong for saying this...but I just can't get into this song. I'm a diehard fan, I love these guys to death. I thought it was pretty good the first time, but didn't think it was as good as all the praise I had read, and each time thereafter I just couldn't bare to sit through it all. UGH I feel like I've just tainted the bible or something.

The Indian harmonium from 'Open Invitation' makes a reappearance, it sounds like! This one's my favourite on the album, and they'd better damn well play it this Friday night in Detroit or else!

The first time I heard this one I just knew it's going to be my favourite. I just heard that first time that the song was going to build it self up to something unforgetable. Like a giant HARD-ON :-)

I'm glad Peter wrote this song - for his love of shoegaze, you know?

I was thinking Embrace myself, though I could buy the comparison to a couple of The Killers songs. But then I like both those bands too, so that's not a bad thing. Either way, the song rocks.

Bizarre comparison indeed. I love this song, really well arranged I think, from beginning to end. I love the guitar parts, they're simple but perfect, can't get around to tabbing them, hope someone else does soon!

This doesn't sound like the Killers at all. What a bizarre comparison.

I love the opening and the anticipation up to the drums coming in and providing a strong foundation for the amazing lyrics to ride upon. This song hit me the first time I heard it and I knew it was going to be my favourite.

First time I heard this (about an hour ago) I was blown away by the intro, its so warm and spine tingly good, but I feel the drums let it down. It should stay as just what sounds like bagpipes(!) an organ and Peters vocal. This would also stop it sounding like the killers as someone else pointed out.<br /> Still a good tune though.
