Talk Like That
Presets (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I'll call you on the telephone
And tell you all the things that I've been missing
Turn out the lights
Where we're going we don't need 'em tonight
We're at your daddy's home but he's not listening
Talk like that
I might go crazy when you
Talk like that
You know I love it when you
Talk like that
And girl I'm crazy when you
Talk like that
You make me crazy when you
Our time has come
Start of the race and we're ready to run
We're on a roll tonight and you won't fight it
Don't like to see
Sitting [?]
They ought to try sometime they might just like it
Talk like that
I might go crazy when you
Talk like that
A little creepy when you
Talk like that
Girl I love it when you
Talk like that
You make me crazy when you
You make me crazy when you
Talk like that
I might go crazy when you
Talk like that
A little scary when you
Talk like that
But kid I love it when you
Talk like that
You make me crazy when you

Probably the greatest Australian dance/techno album of all time imo. A banger from start to finish.
@fgaucoffee744
It is a very good album. Pendulum's Hold Your Colour is another amazing Aussie album.
@abhorrentheathen
@fgaucoffee744 Pendulum/Knife Party is such a good Aussie techno group but The Presets are just a totally different echelon
@AxelleVenomthorn
Dude, I have fallen in LOVE with the Presets. Their sound is distinctive, unique, crazy, pumped full of the most haunting beats EVER. And, this video is just such a great example of how they manage to make these videos ... that ... have like, nothing to do with the song's lyrics, but just go so well ... These guys are so crazy. I love it. Wonderfully haunting video.
