She’s Been Talking

At the high tide line
Drift-wood and shells
That's where she said we could leave our clothes
Where the moonlight dissolves on the wet sand

There's no-one here tonight
The whole town's still at the show
She said she'd seen me come alone
And did I need a lift back home
Cause she was leaving

Well some people you can see right through
But I never, never guessed how much she knew

And that she'd been talking
She's been talking
She's been talking to my friends

I hated it tonight
I hate her precious scene
The way they all compete
And the way they wipe their feet on each other

But she is not like them
She holds herself away
And she laughs behind their backs
And I like it when she does that

But I'd never let her see
No I never, never wanted charity

But now she's been talking
She's been talking
She's been talking to my friends

Car headlights creep
Across the sea
Now she's swimming
Close to me
And she
And she
She

She's been talking
She's been talking

She's been talking to my friends
