Corridor Talk Songtext

von Little River Band

By Beeb Birtles

Don't tell my neighbours about my leaving,
Unless it's a secret not worth keeping,
You know how the picture can get this started,
It's all in the way we people re-parted.

Thank you my friends for your concern,
I take it, you think I have a lot to learn,
I'm hearing the sound of closing doors,
Expecting the papers for my divorce.

Ain't no way dispensing with this corridor talk,
People think it's natural like learning to walk,
Think there's only rise, they move right into action,
One man pulls the strings and others do it without question.

Corridor talk, corridor talk,
Teacher say this, teacher do that,
Underhanded, double standard,
Corridor talk, corridor talk.

Stay outa sight, I'm gonna be layin' low,
No lookin' back, don't wanna be the hero,
I'm makin' my plans, I'm planning my attack,
I don't know the time the day that I'll be back.

Ain't no way dispensing with this corridor talk,
People think it's natural like learning to walk,
Think there's only rise, they move right into action,
One man pulls the strings and others do it without question.

Corridor talk, corridor talk,
Teacher say this, teacher do that,
Underhanded, double standard,
Corridor talk, corridor talk,
Teacher say this, teacher do that,
Underhanded, double standard,
Corridor talk, corridor talk,
Teacher say this, teacher do that,
Underhanded, double standard,
Corridor talk, corridor talk !
