Talk About It

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going strong
It's the wee small hours, midnight's long gone
You look into my eyes and I look into yours
And when the band starts to play lead me onto the dance
Floor
Okay
Put your hands to my hips and swing me around
I'll put my arms round your neck
We'll waltz to the counter
Get our coats outa' check
It's night: let's make love
It's night: let's make love
And we can talk about it when the morning comes
It'll come
It always does
We'll push it around now whether it's right or wrong
Wrong?
It never was
Why?
Just because
We'll talk about it when the morning comes
It'll come
It always does
Hush, don't say a word
You'll wake the fish, you'll scare the birds
Don't disturb the song of the nighthawk
Let the crickets talk
It's night: lets make love
It's night: lets make love
And we can
Down lovers' lane between the cars
We'll hold the moon and freeze the stars
We'll tell ol' Luna to shine bright
Eclipse the sun, kill the light
It's night: let's make love
It's night: let's make love
And we can
The lyrics of Kate and Anna McGarrigle's song "Talk About It" take the listener through a night of passion and physical intimacy between two people. The first verse sets the scene of a party that some have left but others are still enjoying. It is the wee small hours of the night and the couple is looking into each other's eyes while the band plays. The second verse is an invitation to dance, and the lyrics describe the physical movements of swinging around, holding onto each other and waltzing. The chorus makes it clear that this is a love song, with repeating lines of "It's night: let's make love."
The final section of the song describes the couple moving away from the party, perhaps outside into a deserted street. Here they can embrace each other and hold onto the moon and stars. There is a sense of time stopping, with the suggestion that the couple has the power to "eclipse the sun" and stop the world turning. The song ends on a note of euphoria, with a final repetition of the chorus. The lyrics of "Talk About It" are sensual and romantic, painting a picture of two people enjoying each other's company in the darkness.
