Original official music video of Talk Talk performing their hit "Talk Talk" from the 1982 album "The Party's Over". There were two versions of the video, this version is considered "Version 2".
From Wikipedia: "It was the second single from their debut album, The Party's Over (1982), it topped at no. 52 in the United Kingdom upon initial release. A remix of the song was released later in the same year where it peaked at no. 23 in the UK and number 75 in the United States. The single also reached no. 1 in South Africa in 1983. Influential modern rock radio station KROQ-FM in Los Angeles included this song in its regular rotation of current releases from July–August 1982."
Many are familiar with Talk Talk's follow-up 80's anthem "It's My Life" and while this earlier effort is edgier and a bit darker, it received regular rotation on MTV. Like many bands of the New Wave era Talk Talk was influenced by Roxy Music, David Bowie, Ultravox, and even Kraftwerk. The band was a part of the "Second British Invasion" which included such New Wave and New Romantic artists as Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. "Talk Talk" is often featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto GTA: Vice City.
My apologies - I had to tilt the video to unblock in the US.
Enjoy!
Lyrics - Songwriters: Mark David Hollis, Edwin James Hollis
What did I tell you before when I was up?
Anxiety was bringing me down
I'm tired of listening to you, talking in rhymes
Twisting round to make me think
You're straight down the line
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk
If every sign that I see is complete
Then I'm a fool in your game
And all you want to do is tell me your lies
Won't show the other side
You're just wasting my time
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk
When every choice that I make is yours
Keep telling me what's right and what's wrong
Don't you ever stop to think about me
I'm not that blind to see
That you've been cheating on me
And hear you laugh at me when I'm up
I see you when you were crying for me when I'm down
I see you when you laugh at me when I'm up
I see you when you were crying for me
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
All you do to me is talk talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk
