Talk Of The Town
Walsh Kate 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 "Talk of the Town," Walsh Kate sings about being the topic of gossip in her town due to her reputation for "fooling around." She pleads with her romantic partner to quickly return home to her so that she can feel loved and supported. She notes that the village itself seems to join in the chatter against her, which is constantly ringing in her ears. Despite feeling defeated and hurt by the judgments of others, Walsh maintains a sense of defiance and determination, declaring herself capable of "stealing your beautiful crown." She implores her partner not to trap her into a one-sided conversation until she can assert herself again.
The lyrics in this song are poignant and reflective, and Walsh Kate's emotional delivery emphasizes the vulnerability that is inherent in gossip and rumors. The pain of being an outsider in one's own village is palpable, and the sense of desperation is clear as Walsh repeatedly asks for her loved one to return home.

Hurry on home, all the love is gone
I need you to come back home to me because I feel like our love has vanished
Hurry on home for me
I am asking you to come back home to me
This village has a voice, it's ringing through my ears
The gossip in our town is getting to me and it's overwhelming
Too many faces I almost defeated
I am trying to keep up a facade for everyone around me but it's becoming difficult
I never fell this far
I have never felt this low or vulnerable
But now that I see through the thin air in here, I see
I am beginning to see the truth of the situation
That you just don't care
I am realizing that you don't care about me or our relationship
And I'm just the talk of the town
Everyone is gossiping about me and my actions
Famous for fooling around
I am known for cheating or for being unfaithful
But honey don't corner me in
Please don't confront me and force me into a corner
Till I can reign in here
Let me regain control of my life
'Cause I'm just the talk of the town
I am the center of gossip and rumors
The obvious place for stealing your beautiful crown
I am a potential threat to your reputation or social standing
This headache got my heart, it's pounding like a drum
My anxiety and stress is affecting me physically
Come drum it out of me
I need someone to help me alleviate my anxiety and stress
But I might not but this battle must begin
I may not win this battle, but I still have to fight it
So does I, does anyone know
Does anyone else understand how I feel?
That I'm feeling like poor leaves on seas
I feel lost and helpless
My keys are clean
I am innocent and have done nothing wrong
The obvious place for stealing your beautiful crown
I could potentially ruin your reputation or social status
