You Won't Talk To Her

from A Pretty Little One by The Late Joys

/

lyrics

You won't talk to her when she wants you to
And you don't say a word when you come home after hours
Oh, she's fading like a flower
You could nurture her
With a couple kind words
But she's starved for attention
And the other thing that never gets mentioned

You won't talk to her, that's not all she wants from you
But you get cross and curse when she offers up herself
Oh, she's got nobody else
And your patter and your song
That attracted her are gone
So you lie by her side
In a parody of peace and quiet

Time past, oh you were a gas, but now you're mum
What's left to say when your words sublimate right on the tip of your tongue

You won't talk to her it's against the rules
And you don't keep your word so much as you strangle it
As you sit tight-lipped
You're the little Napoleon
Of a deaf and dumb show
And when she finally leaves
You'll be the enfant terrible of silence

You won't talk to her
You won't talk to her
You won't talk to her
You won't talk to her
