Give It Up - Lyrics - Talk Talk

Talk Talk were an English musical group, active from 1981 to 1991. The group was part of the British new wave movement. They had a string of early hit singles including "Today", "Talk Talk", "It's My Life", "Such a Shame", and "Dum Dum Girl". Always uncomfortable with the requirements and pressure of the pop industry, Talk Talk moved away from synthpop toward more experimental music in the mid-1980s. A few more singles, including "Life's What You Make It" and "Living in Another World", achieved success in Europe and in the UK, but their commercial appeal receded quickly as their critical reputation increased.

From the place that I stand to the land that is openly free Watching rivers run black by the trees that are vacant to greed Gotta give it up Gotta get a second chance Gotta give it up Gotta get a second chance and the jokes just started Gotta give it up Give it up, give it up Gotta give it up Or tell me why I'm so wrong Where does love come from If you've sold your reasoning out? How can I learn if I don't understand what I see If I'm giving this mess, take a walk through a nightmare so real Gotta give it up Gotta get a second chance Gotta give it up Gotta get a second chance and the jokes just started Gotta give it up Give it up, give it up Gotta give it up Tell me why I'm so wrong Where does luck come from When you've never been without? Give it up Give it up, give it up Gotta give it up Give it up, give it up Gotta give it up Tell me why I'm so wrong Where does love come from If you've sold your reasoning out? Or tell me why I'm so wrong Where does luck come from When you've never been without? You can't do that You can't do that You can't do that You can't do that
