Talk of This Town - Catherine McGrath

Never did fit in

Always the one left out

Just the girl at the back

You never gave a damn about

Tough growing up

When they shoot you down

But I knew someday someway

It was all about just getting out

Then I turned eighteen

Said «I'm gonna sing»

Packed my bags and they laughed

Said «you'll never be anything»

Well, talk of the town

That’s what I am now

Hear them whispering about the dreams I have

Behind my back

I’m just the girl with her head in the clouds

Feet off the ground, I’m going up, no, I won’t come down

So I’ll keep walking, you’ll keep talking

I’ll move on and still be the talk of this town

Well, the word got back

And it wasn’t so good

The city scared me a little more

Than I thought it would

They said «I told you so»

«We knew it wouldn’t last»

But I’m not crying to my mama

I’m doing what I wanna

Bet you weren’t expecting that, yeah

Talk of the town

That’s what I am now

Hear them whispering about the dreams I have

Behind my back

I’m just the girl with her head in the clouds

Feet off the ground, I’m going up, no, I won’t come down

So I’ll keep walking, you’ll keep talking

I’ll move on and still be the talk of this town

One day I might be on your TV screen

Smiling in your magazine

The last thing that you ever thought you’d see is me, yeah

The talk of the town

That’s what I am now

Hear them whispering about the dreams I have

Behind my back

I’m just the girl with her head in the clouds

Feet off the ground, I’m going up, no, I won’t come down

So I’ll keep walking, you’ll keep talking

I’ll move on and still be the talk of this town

Talk of the town

That’s what I am now

Hear them whispering about the dreams I have

Behind my back

I’m just the girl with her head in the clouds

Feet off the ground, I’m going up, no, I won’t come down

So I’ll keep walking, you’ll keep talking

I’ll move on and still be the talk of this town

The talk of this town

So I’ll keep walking, you’ll keep talking

I’ll move on and still be the talk of this town
