We all have those friends: the ones whose success and happiness relative to our own bring us down occasionally. That would be normal, if it weren’t for the fact that those friends also tend to talk a helluva lot about their success. This song is about them. For all you out there who walk the walk but refrain from talking the talk, we salute you. Talk really is pretty cheap, after all.

The Demo
The verses and structure from this original Jonathan demo remain in the final recording but this features a totally different chorus, is missing the bridge and leans towards jazzy blues over dirty groove. MP3
Another Wall
Before Talk Is Cheap there was Another Wall. Released on CD-R and online as part of the Chronicles EP, Another Wall's chorus was pilfered to replace the chorus of Jon's original Talk Is Cheap demo. MP3
Enter Bass
With the song now featuring Another Wall's chorus and a brand new bridge, this basement practice session recording captures one of the first times we played the song as a band and hell does it groove.MP3

Lyrics
Well, talk is cheap.
You say you don't worry, but you just don't sleep.
You say you're gonna try, but then you just get by.
It's easier to do when all your friends are high.
You wont live another day,
If you wont come outside and play.
Yeah, you may crack, but I wont fall.
Your Humpty's on another wall.
So, take it off!
Your head is so hard, but your brain is soft.
Be careful with your fame, 'cause we all know your name.
You think you won the battle,
But you lost the game.
You wont live another day,
If you wont come outside and play.
Yeah, you may crack, but I wont fall.
Your Humpty's on another wall.
When you gonna talk about it?
You wont live another day,
If you wont come outside and play.
Yeah, you may crack, but I wont fall.
Your Humpty's on another wall.
