PIECES FIT

I hate to have to share with you

And I hate to have to say it

But unfortunately it hits me

Every time I try to play it

It makes me feel uncertain

• Though I can feel it in my soul -

Yet still I have to ask myself

Am I mistaken, or a fool?

The lyrics are so clean

(and match so much that came before)

So fantastic, even talented

And certainly not a bore!

I can feel it deep inside of me

I can hear it - from my core

Yet still again - I have to ask myself

Should I be expecting

Something more?

I really hate the Internet

And Facebook’s even worse

Full of trolls and lies and bullshit

Less a blessing than a curse

Yet there’s one place that I’ve found fruitful

A collective nonetheless!

Where I feel I BELONG to something

Where I feel safe, and full and blessed

We all resound for ONE thing

Sing their praises even more

For this music that fills our center

Spiral out and long to soar!

Where we know the pieces fit

Collective family side-by-side

We are married to the music

Embraced as husband and as bride

Which leads me back unto my query

And to this album you deride

It is perfect - even lovely!

(14 years now in the making)

And now finally released

It should be OURS just for the taking!

It is such blasphemy to deny it

‘Tis such blasphemy to deride it

Do you really even spiral?

Have you really even tried it?

Have you tried to eat the elephant?

Have you even tried to ride it?

I can assure you that it’s safe

If you really try to like it

Talk Talk is fucking brilliant

Delicious - fucking sexy!

How you can complain - or even hate it

Really doth fucking perplex me!

We’ve waited all this time

And now finally got a piece of it

So please stuff your damned opinions!

And try to make your fucking pieces fit!
