[edit] Info:
You Talk is a Babyshambles track, released as track #3 on the band's second album, Shotter's Nation, and credited to Peter Doherty and Kate Moss. It was also released as the second single from Shotter's Nation, doing poorly in the charts and only managing to peak at #54 in the UK[1]. You Talk was first heard by fans during bootlegs, as no session recordings or demo versions exist.
The single was released in December 2007 on CD and 7", with the B Sides to the CD being very similar to the demos already heard by fans on The Stookie + Jim Bumfest Demos, but of a higher quality. The only new song to be released as a B Side featured on the 7"; Revelations, which featured rapper, MC Purple.
A music video has been made for You Talk[2], directed by Douglas Hart.It features the band, getting back to nature, strolling through an autumnal Somerset forest, gazing skywards. The scene switches to a dark, crowded and somewhat claustrophobic room. There is a party going on, under a swinging, interrogation type lamp, with a group of men in business suits and the band. At various stages, Doherty appears to be flat on his back, as he observes this gathering. There is a dark and light theme throughout the clip, with the band seen in the darkness of the forest at first and then later in the video, out in the open, in the bright sunlight.

[edit] Lyrics:
You talk, you talk a good game
Wish I could talk the same
A song is just a game I’m getting good at cheating at
You talk, yes you talk a good game
Won’t you teach me the same
Oh I’d love to explain, like showing your hand and all about
Oh well I know, I know, I know, I know and so and so and so ..
So what I suppose it’s got to
Oh well I never said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
Looking for the light the light behind your eyes
You talk, you talk a good game
Wish I could talk the same
A song is just a game I’m getting good at cheating at
Utah, remember Utah in the rain
And those little red shoes and some kid with the blues
Who gets right on your tits, you just grin and bear it
Oh well I know, I know, I know, I know it’s wrong and so and so and so
So what I suppose it’s got to
Oh well I never said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
Looking for the light the light behind your eyes
Bevan, he drops stones from heaven Lord forever
And the love, the love behind your eyes
You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game
You talk, you talk a good game
Will I never ever said it was clever
I just like getting leathered looking for the light
the light behind your eyes
Bevan, he drops stones from heaven Lord forever
And the love behind your eyes
