Talk Of The Town
Kate Walsh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hurry on home for me
This village has a voice, it's ringing through my ears
Hurry on home for me
Too many faces I almost defeated
I never fell this far
But now that I see through the thin air in here, I see
And I'm just the talk of the town
Famous for fooling around
But honey don't corner me in
Till I can reign in here
'Cause I'm just the talk of the town
The obvious place for stealing your beautiful crown
So hurry on home, all the love is gone
Hurry on home for me
This headache got my heart, it's pounding like a drum
Come drum it out of me
'Cause now that I see through the thick empty air, I see
That you just don't care
And I'm just the talk of the town
Famous for fooling around
But honey don't corner me in
Till I can reign in here
'Cause I'm just the talk of the town
The obvious place for stealing your beautiful crown
Stealing your beautiful crown
But I might not but this battle must begin
So does I, does anyone know
That I'm feeling like poor leaves on seas
My keys are clean
I'm just the talk of the town
Famous for fooling around
But honey don't corner me in
Till I can reign in here
'Cause I'm just the talk of the town
The obvious place for stealing your beautiful crown
In Kate Walsh's song "Talk Of The Town," she addresses a person who has not been taking her seriously and who seems to be indifferent to her problems. She pleads with them to come back home and help her get through the difficult time she is facing. The lyrics "Hurry on home, all the love is gone, hurry on home for me" emphasize her desperation and the sense of loneliness she feels. She feels like a failure and as though she was just "the talk of the town" - famous for being promiscuous and irresponsible, and unable to earn respect from those around her. Despite everything, she is determined to fight and overcome her struggles as she sings "But I might not but this battle must begin."
Walsh's lyrics are an emotional and introspective expression of her inner turmoil, and the way she delivers them is equally powerful. Her smooth, almost whispering tone conveys the heartache and vulnerability she feels, while the quiet intensity of her voice and the subtle guitar accompaniment underscore the feelings of pain and heartbreak.
