All Of This And Nothing

Album: Talk Talk Talk (1981)

  • A phonebook full of accidents
    A girl to drive your car
    A suit to wear on mondays
    And a coat a magazine
    A heavy rain on holiday
    A painting of the wall
    A knife a fork and memories
    A light to see it all

    You didn't leave me anything
    That I can understand
    Hey I never meant that stuff
    I want to turn you round

    Dominoes a pack of cards
    A picture of the queen
    A dress to wear on sundays
    And a handle for the door
    A letter that I sent for you
    A note you left for me
    A wave a pack of cigarettes
    A pocket full of beads

    You didn't leave me anything
    That I can understand
    Hey I never meant that stuff
    I want to turn you on
    You didn't leave me anything
    That I can understand
    Hey I never meant that stuff
    I want to turn you round
    You didn't leave me anything
    That I can understand
    Hey I never meant that stuff
    I want to turn you on

    The sound of people getting drunk
    A ceiling and a sky
    A bank that's full of promises
    A telephone that lies
    A visit from your doctor
    He crawls in through the door
    A mirror you can look in
    So that you know where you are

    You didn't leave me anything
    That I can understand
    Hey I never meant that stuff
    I want to turn you round
    You didn't leave me anything
    That I can understand
    Now I'm left with all of this
    A roomful of your trash Writer/s: DUNCAN KILBURN, JOHN ASHTON, RICHARD BUTLER, ROGER NICHOLAS MORRIS, TIMOTHY BUTLER, VINCENT DAVEY
