Fancy that...
Current Mood: 
CC is listening to: Fighting Talk--Everything But the Girl (Baby, the Stars Shine Bright) You know, I never bothered to look up the lyrics to other Everything But the Girl songs, but now that I have, I'm actually kind of impressed at some of the songs' contents :-). I didn't realize until I saw the lyrics that "Fighting Talk" is a reference to "L'Esprit d'Escalier" (a French term that literally means "staircase wit"--it describes a retort to an insult, or any witty, clever remark that comes to mind too late to be useful--when one is on the "staircase" leaving the scene).
...plus I love the sound of the cellos in the background when it gets to the chorus :-).

Well it's so easy to be witty in retrospect
When you're out the door you pause a moment to reflect
On all the crushing one-liners that you should have said
But you always were reduced to angry words instead
Fighting talk on the stairs
Is enough to show who never cared
Fighting talk, who will be spared
The abuse that's always hurled as you curse and swear
But it's so cruel how the moment can let you down
And how eloquence deserts you
When you find yourself on sensitive ground
You slam the door and turn the catch
You turned your home into a prison
Conversation into a slanging match
Fighting talk on the stairs
Is enough to show who never cared
Fighting talk, who will be spared
The abuse that's always hurled as you curse and swear
But oh, my love I'm sick and tired
Of all the cruelty love's acquired
We never more need come to harm
If you lay your head here on my faithless armLabels: Arts, Found on the Internet
