Talked Too Much, Stayed Too Long

Don't wanna be in your club if you'd take me as a member

I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remember

I say ashes to ashes,dust to dust

Gimme a tombstone if you feel you must

Sayin,here lies a clown who wrote some songs

He talked too much and stayed too long

Back home in Perth I played piano down at Café Piazza

Swallowing second-hand smoke and singing standards by the masters

Learnt that every lyric's sacred

That love's everything and that three drinks make you straighten up and four get you swingin'

Til my crowd scared the suits away and I'd play my own songs

And then we'd talk too much and stay too long

Moved to Melbourne with my missus after locking her down

Felt like a very little fishy in a very big town

Barely scraping by on corporate gigs and quaint cabaret

Playing keyboards in a cover band until three in the AM

I was never really suited to them top 40 songs

I talked too much and played too long(Ha~)

Don't wanna be in your club if you'd take me as a member

I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remember

I say ashes to ashes,dust to dust

Gimme a tombstone if you feel you must sayin'

Here lies a clown who wrote some songs

He talked too much and stayed too long

Took my eyeliner to Edinburgh in twenty-oh-five

Played to forty-five playing punters on that opening night

But to my surprise there was a rising demand

For a lovechild of Liberace and Edward Scissorhands

Dude from the paper said that digging me was wrong

He said I talked too much and stayed too long

I've played the Albert Hall and Wembley

I've played basements&bars

I've been to Hollywood and Broadway met those A-lister stars

I've shared cigarettes with Knights

Shot tequila with Dames

Found I'm more interested in laughter than in hotness and fame

So long as you got irony honey we'll get along

We can talk too much stay way way too long

Don't wanna be in your club if you'd take me as a member

I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remember

I say ashes to ashes,dust to dust

Gimme a tombstone if you feel you must

Sayin,here lies a clown who wrote some songs

He talked too much and stayed too long

He talked too much and stayed too long↗（woo~)

I been threatened with death and arrest and with hell

I went hard at a cardinal who was feeling unwell

I've had them dog-whistlin' whiners send thier dogs after me

I been a bigot and a faggot

I been smug and ugly

I'm a long-haired lefty joker and a smoker of bongs

and I talk too much and stay too long

But f**k that live fast die young sh*t

I plan on getting rickety baby I intend to stick around 'til all you pricks is sick of me

And when they come to wash my old man balls and feed me mashed banana

They'll find me in the common room playing blues on the piana

Same old three chords and cliched f**kin runs

And I'll talk too much and stay too long

And I'll talk too much!

Don't wanna be in your club if you'd take me as a member

I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remember

I say ashes to ashes,dust to dust

Gimme a tombstone baby if you feel you must

Sayin here lies a clown who wrote some songs

He talked too much and stayed too long

He talked too much and stayed too long

Another white mother f***er rambling on

He talked too much and stayed too long
