Lyrics
Radio News
I heard it on
The radio news
The mass decision
The mass view
Concealing
Concentration
We spoke then
Of a nation
They seem to be
In my doorway
In my stairway
And in my hallway
In my head
And in my action
The self-inflicted
Contraction
And I can speak
And I can walk
And I can move
And I can talk
And I can speak
And I can walk
And I can move
And I can talk
Yes I can talk
I can talk
I can talk
I can talk
Talk
Talk
Talk
Talk
Songwriter: Vince Clarke
