Barnett, Courtney - Small Talk Lyrics






Do you have any siblings?
I got a brother, Blake, he's four years older than me
And I guess he always will be
Yeah he's clever and he's got a cool girlfriend (hey Hayley)
Aw but wait, now that they're engaged so
I hope they have kids so I can be a cool aunty, yeah

I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you

What'd you think of the ultimate ending?
I fast forward, get busy pretending that, well I've seen everything
Can I get you anything? A soda? Campari? With lemon? Well, you got it
I got better things to do than shave my legs, my pits, oh yeah...

I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
I'm looking 'cross the room and hoping that you're lookin' too, yeah

Do you have any siblings?
You got a sister, yeah, she's a detective
Well I bet she's got some good stories
I gotta go but I hope we can keep in touch
I like very much being here with you
But you see, all this small talk is killin' me

I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
I'm looking 'cross the room and hoping that you're lookin' too

I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
I'm looking 'cross the room and hoping that you're lookin' too

I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
I'm looking 'cross the room and hoping that you're lookin' too

I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
I'm looking 'cross the room 'nd hoping that you're lookin' too

  11. E.... J....

    Its got a Lou Reed/VU vibe on it

  12. r.... ....

    Top! Top! Top! Forever!

  13. P.... L....

    Where I'm at!!!!

  14. R.... ....

    This song is so me wtf

  15. j.... ....

    Aussie Courtney oozes coolness €:^)

  16. c.... ....

    This would've been a killer hidden track not gonna lie.

  17. t.... ....

    From Australia to Uruguay
    Small talks are global
    thank you koala queen

  18. b.... ....

    Four years older than me, and I guess he always will be.

    I love this song.

  19. J.... O....

    I just heard this song at h&m yongsan south Korea. 🔥🔥🔥

  20. p.... ....

    i like it..winner..i love 3 or 4 songs now of theirs.. awsome

  21. D.... M....

    Great stuff.

  22. D.... W....

    I keep trying to think what this reminds me of. My best guess is "Season of the Witch." But I'm not quite sure.

  23. T.... D....

    wish I could really chill out with Courtney at a park or sumn... she seems like a very funny and bright person

  24. J.... ....

    Courtney, you have a way with subject matter.

  25. A.... V....

    Is it safe to say Courtney Barnett is the queen of Indie/Alt. Rock?

  26. S.... O....

    Awesome 70’s vibes on this track.

    S.... O....

    steely dan

  27. C.... H....

    Another great song. Thanks Courtney. Looking forward to seeing you play in Oxford U.K next month. Fantastic.

  28. D.... D....

    Fuck this is so psychedelic!!!

  29. T.... H....

    Sounds a lot like Velvet underground/ Lou reed type shite. I’m okay with it. and this was uploaded on my older brothers birthday. Happy 25th bro <3

  30. K.... T....

    The little guitar twangs have a Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen vibe.

  31. L.... ....

    This music makes me feel more inteligent, wow, thanks

  32. F.... ....

    That horrible horrible voice........

    F.... ....

    This is the second video I see your comment haha well why do you listen to her songs if you think it's awful. I guess her voice is that way because she isn't ashamed about it and it's sort of a symbol about fighting anxiety, also it's an indie so ya

  33. S.... G....

    The last album was kinda disappointing tbh. Now THIS! THIS IS WHY I LOVE COURTNEY BARNETT!

  34. o.... ....

    This sounds like it comes straight from the Double EP! Love it!

  35. C.... W....

    The chorus reminds me of the theme from Shameless

  36. a.... ....

    Yeet my friends...yeet.

  37. C.... ....

    The last album was very good. But it has to be said.... this is better than anything on that album. I love this song a lot.

    C.... ....

    bad take, Tell Me How You Really Feel is for non-shallow thinkers

  38. i.... m....

    Man this is amazing I must learn how to play it

  39. C.... ....

    I love the heavy psychedelic sound

  40. N.... A....

    "Small Talk" debuted at #3 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

    N.... A....

    Your playlists are really cool. Thanks.

    N.... A....

    Glad you like them. Thank you for the comment. :)

  41. K.... K....

    Genius!

  42. K.... G....

    I love her so much

  43. D.... d....

    It’s a good one, record 3 could be amazing

  44. M.... M....

    Go I don’t think I could love her anymore

  45. L.... M....

    We love you Courtney

  46. A.... S....

    New album or a B-Side?

  47. L.... e....

    I just found out about this gem today

  48. t.... ....

    courtney is past her hipster prime

  49. S.... C....

    I love YOU, Courtney

  50. C.... M....

    It'd be cool if this comes out on a 7"

  51. i.... f....

    Damn girl

  52. M.... M....

    Saw CB live on Tuesday and now this. Yay me.

  53. M.... C....

    Hey Nineteen

  54. t.... t....

    imagine courtney stayed chilled af while making this song lmao

  55. d.... ....

    The most exciting thing in music right now.

  56. M.... O....

    Waiting for you

  57. S.... ....

    Apparently there’s one person who really hate small talk

  58. A.... D....

    I always like fucked up guitar licks like Jeff Tweedy's

  59. A.... C....

    Courtney is such a queen

    A.... C....

    Would go gay for Courtney if I were a woman, easy

  60. y.... w....

    my day just got 100% better!

  61. D.... S....

    I love CB's sound. It's pretty sad and happy at the same time. You can dance while you listen to it, but it's also relaxing.

  62. L.... B....

    After such a bad day, AT LAST, something comforting <3

  63. L.... M....

    Fkn cool

  64. t.... s....

    This would work so well as tV show intro.

    t.... s....

    A TV show starring Jim Jefferies

    t.... s....

    ...playing a character named Blake. Show called Foggy Notions

    t.... s....

    the sodium lights maybe not named Blake, something less cool like Wyatt or Chris.

  65. S.... S....

    You used to be just one of my geographic antipodes now you are my favourite living artist too! I may come back to composing because of you :)

  66. C.... P....

    💙Courtney! Thank you! Obrigado, cheers from Portugal!
