(Van Morrison)
Kicked your gift-horse in the teeth
Crowd gathered round in the street

You killed your saviour new one can't be found
Talk is cheap your saviour's highway bound


You read the tabloids every day
They're giving lots of things away
They went to build you up

So they can bring you down
Talk is cheap it's gonna
Could make them a million pounds


Now baby don't put your business on the telephone
Tell your girlfriend just to leave me alone

Tell her to watch her mouth before she talks to anybody
anybody
Oh 'cos talk is cheap it comes with the territory


Sometimes it's back-to-front sometimes it's upside down
Put your money where your mouth is when you come around

Backbiters and syndicators walking from chinatown
Oh talk is cheap why don't you lay your money down


Well they say you can't shut up a god damn fool
Ain't no exception to the rule
It's blah, blah, blah, blah

Just like a nursery rhyme
Talk is cheap almost all the time
Alright


Yes, talk is cheap
Almost all the time
