After doing another under-the-covers blitz read this morning, I totally have Bella and Edward on the brain. (Obsessed, party of 1?) So when I heard "Talk of the Town" from the Pretenders on the radio this morning, I thought the lyrics were pretty interesting:
Such a drag, to want something sometimes
One thing leads to another I know
There was a time I wanted you for mine
Nobody knew
You arrived like a day
And passed like a cloud
I made a wish, I said it out loud
Out loud in a crowd
Everybody heard
It was the talk of the town
Its not my place to know what you feel
Id like to know but why should i?
Who were you then, who are you now?
Common laborer by night... by day highbrow
Back in my room I wonder, then I
Sit on the bed, look at the sky
Up in the sky
Clouds rearrange
Like the talk of the town
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
You've changed your place in this world
Oh but its hard to live by the rules
I never could and still never do
The rules and such never bothered you
You call the shots and they follow
I watch you still from a distance then go
Back to my room, you never know
I want you, I want you but now
Who's the talk of the town?
