"Gossip" lyrics - PAUL KELLY

When I come home
All I want is revelation
Meat off the bone
What price is good information?
When I'm alone
I have too many companions
Chewing the phone
All I get is slender pickings
Gossip, gossip
Give us this day our daily bread
Give us this day our sweet daily bread

It makes the world go round
Over my shoulder I'm taking it down
Fish gotta swim in the sea
One thing for sure if you lie down with dogs
Then you get up with fleas

Tender no thought
Stick to the facts that invent us
This is the court
And it's called common consensus
Gossip, gossip
Give us this day our daily bread
Gossip, gossip
It makes the world go round
