Lyrics

Hate

[Verse 1]

Relax your stare

It's laughing in my face

My foes beware

I'm tired of losing grace

The child's not there

The priest is losing faith

Defile my care

And stumble to the flames

[Chorus]

People crying, people crying

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

My confusion, are there illusions?

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh

Hate

[Verse 2]

The dice won't lose

They've everything to gain

Devout prepare

The stones along my grave

[Chorus]

People crying, people crying

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

My confusion, are there illusions?

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh

Hate

[Outro]

Don't say a word

If I've been away too long

I found out it's wrong

I found out

I don't need hate

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

I don't need hate

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

I don't need hate

Oh oh oh, oh oh

    Why Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden is worth exploring beyond the pop hits

    Talk Talk’s 1988 album trades hooks and polish for silence, improvisation and an unusually patient kind of intensity.
