Loose Talk Rory Gallagher

Loose talk from up-tight people
Looking out for blood to draw
Just keep cool, don't let it phase you
All that stuff ain't worth a straw

Tight talk from stay-put people
Aimed to hurt, aimed to wound
Step on your toes, step on your fingers
Just don't take it, now don't be fooled

Don't let them know where you're going
Don't play their games or they'll snow you in
Call on me if they derail you
Call on me 'cause I won't lock you in

Yeah

Don't let them know where you're going
Don't play their games 'cause they'll snow you in
Call on me if they derail you
Stay with me 'cause I won't lock you in

Yeah

Double-talking, double-meaning
Tight-rope tactics to trip you up
Don't play their games, go where your heart says
Keep on pushing, you'll get there yet
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
