Story Behind the Song
The song was written in about 10 minutes as the words just flowed out, it was written about a friend of mine that was cheating on his wife, but when she found someone else he would publicly blame her for everything, yet she kept quite and never said anything so she was the 'Talk of the town' but really it wasn't her fault. we recorded the song in a studio that uses vintage equipment and the song was recorded on the first take.
Lyrics
'TALK OF THE TOWN'
Of how the story goes, you've said your lie,
now everyone you know, stands by your side,
for things you say, make me your clown,
my head is bowed, i'm your talk of the town.
I't don't seem fair, with everyone i find,
that it's been you, who's poisened there mind
everything you say was to bring me down,
my head is bowed, i'm your talk of the town.
But if the truth was known,
then everybody could see,
they'd leave your side,
and stand by me,
but my lips are sealed,
they'll make no sound,
i'll bow my head,
and be your talk of the town.
It's headline news, why i walked out,
you deal me blame, and shout it all about,
to the gutter i go, i'm troubled bound,
my head is bowed, i'm your talk of the town.
But i will not change, what will be will be,
nobody knows the truth but me,
they say what goes, soon comes around,
so until then, i'm your talk of the town.
