(Van Morrison)
Kicked your gift-horse in the teeth
Crowd gathered round in the street
You killed your saviour new one can't be found
Talk is cheap your saviour's highway bound
You read the tabloids every day
They're giving lots of things away
They went to build you up
So they can bring you down
Talk is cheap it's gonna
Could make them a million pounds
Now baby don't put your business on the telephone
Tell your girlfriend just to leave me alone
Tell her to watch her mouth before she talks to anybody anybody
Oh 'cos talk is cheap it comes with the territory
Sometimes it's back-to-front sometimes it's upside down
Put your money where your mouth is when you come around
Backbiters and syndicators walking from chinatown
Oh talk is cheap why don't you lay your money down
Well they say you can't shut up a god damn fool
Ain't no exception to the rule
It's blah, blah, blah, blah
Just like a nursery rhyme
Talk is cheap almost all the time
Alright
Yes, talk is cheap
Almost all the time
The lyrics TALK IS CHEAP of VAN MORRISON is also present in the album Down the road (2002)
Sir George Ivan Morrison, noto come Van Morrison, è un cantautore, polistrumentista e paroliere nordirlandese nato a Belfast nel 1945. Considerato uno dei più influenti artisti della musica popolare del XX secolo, Morrison ha attraversato diversi generi musicali, dal folk rock al jazz, passando per il blues e la soul. La sua carriera, iniziata negli anni '60 con i Them, lo ha visto raggiungere fama internazionale con album come "Astral Weeks" (1968), considerato un capolavoro del genere psichedelico, e "Moondance" (1970), che lo consacrò come uno dei cantautori più amati al mondo. Morrison è noto per la sua voce potente e distintiva, le sue melodie memorabili e i testi poetici spesso ispirati alla vita quotidiana, all'amore e alla spiritualità. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Brown Eyed Girl", "Gloria", "Domino" e "Into the Mystic". Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui un Grammy Award nel 1974 per il suo album "Hard Nose the Highway", e nel 2016 è stato nominato Cavaliere dell'Ordine dell'Impero Britannico.
