The Boomtown Rats - Don't Talk to Me lyrics

You don't have to be afraid You just have to make the leap of fate I'm not thinking in quantum jumps No I think in lines but I speak in lumps When you say those things it seems so crude Do you think you're clever ah you're so rude Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you Now there's no need you don't have to be ashamed I'm left standing in the shade I say one thing, you say another I've got insurance, I'm well covered You seem so real but you feel so fake I got it made when I'm on the make Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you I keep feelin' I've been framed You stitch me up now I'm tailor made Time moves slow and I feel sick Then you toss and turn stay up all night Then you say those things and I don't know why Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you ____________________________________ *written by Bob Geldof *taken from the album entitled "Mondo Bongo"
