“The lyrics of “Small Talk” reference a World War II propaganda campaign; “Careless Talk Costs Lives” becomes “Careless talk costs more than you bargained for” in a song that actually seems to glorify the act of small talk as a remedy for “prophesying,” perhaps owing to what Gartside told NME: that...
Small Talk Lyrics
[Intro]
Small talk
Small talk
Small talk
[Verse 1]
Ooh, we're tired of prophesying
We heard the word was good, but it's stupefying
Small talk
Get up and do some death defying
Small talk
[Chorus]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven if a thing's worth doing it's worth doing badly, baby
Small talk
[Verse 2]
Small talk, oh baby it's so inconsequential
Everybody heard enough about your big potential
Small talk, oh no information given
Small talk
[Chorus x2]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven if a thing's worth doing it's worth doing badly, baby
[Verse 3]
Small talk, oh well you're such a little socialite
We heard your chit chat, now you get it up and get it right
Small talk, oh show us what you're made of baby
Small talk
[Chorus x3]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven if a thing's worth doing it's worth doing badly, baby
