"Call That A Conversation?" lyrics - PETER HAMMILL

Oh, spit it out, there's no way we'll see eye to eye -
My simple truth is your warped confusion;
As off different planets we spin eccentric jive.

I don't remember what I said
I don't think you do either.

Slippery of tongue though you claim my speech may be
All of the words you've been putting in my mouth just flatter to deceive.

I never said the half of that
You're utterly mistaken
Call that a conversation?

Yeah, you said it,
All my meaning, quite misread it...
This conversation let's forget it now.

I can't believe what you just said
Call this a conversation?

Let's call it quits,
Let's just say it's
A measure of the distance between our worlds.

I don't remember what I said,
I don't think you do either;
You make what you will of meaning -
Call that a conversation?

More likely just the space between words
When the meanings have all changed.
