\nSMALL TALK<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Middlesbrough January 1981<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nYou probably think I’m rather boring,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nGuaranteed to send you snoring.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI don’t seem to have a lot to say,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI might just as well slept all day<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI could’ve stayed in, on my own,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSpoke to the clock on the telephone<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSpoke to the clock on the telephone<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nChorus<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSmall talk, Small talk<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nSmall talk, Small talk<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nTalk to your smalls!.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI never seem to do much with my life.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI secretly fancy next door’s wife.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI potter about, here and there,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nRub a bit cream in my thinning hair.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI mow the lawn, I yawn and yawn,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI’m just about as dumb as a new babe born.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n(Bridge)<\/span><\/div>\n
\nPeople put me in the picture, <\/span><\/i>
\nthey say I’m in the cold.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThey try to re-adjust me, <\/span><\/i>
\nturn my horizontal hold.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\nBut I know what I know,<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nWhat I don’t know doesn’t matter.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nI can’t get started on all this idle chatter.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nChorus<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

You may say I’m just a viewer
My contribution is just manure.
I can’t seem to form my own opinions
I only shed tears when I peel onions
I watch TV, just to see
What I could be doing if I didn’t watch TV<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI’m waiting for the lady who brings the pools<\/span><\/div>\n
\nShe calls me the fella who drools and drools.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI have a little bet on a little horse<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI watch it in colour go round the course.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAm I boring you, I probably do.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIf you think I’m boring then so are you.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIf you think I’m boring then so are you.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
