Talk Talk - Give It Up Lyrics






From the place that I stand to the land that is openly free
Watching rivers run black by the trees that are vacant to greed

Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance and the jokes just started

Gotta give it up
Give it up, give it up
Gotta give it up

Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out?

How can I learn if I don't understand what I see
If I'm giving this mess, take a walk through a nightmare so real

Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance and the jokes just started

Gotta give it up
Give it up, give it up
Gotta give it up

Tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you've never been without?

Give it up
Give it up, give it up
Gotta give it up
Give it up, give it up
Gotta give it up

Tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out?
Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you've never been without?

You can't do that
You can't do that
You can't do that
You can't do that

  25. s.... .....

    super extra utwór

  26. M.... E....

    Too my eternal shame I had never realised before how good TalkTalk, or Mark Hollis, were.
    I was vaguely aware of a "poppy" band back in the early '80's when like everyone else I was rushing to my demise, but today, taking time to listen properly, I have been able to appreciate the enormous talent that was Mark Hollis and his colleagues... and sadly I'll never be able to tell the guy how much I admire his work.
    From what I have read here though his immortality is a given ~ and well deserved.

  27. H.... 2....

    Can’t get in my head mark has gone ,music will ring in the ears for my lifetime ,legend

  28. R.... S....

    Great song.
    Amazing bass...
    RIP Mark Hollis

  29. 2.... ....

    When I start hearing Talk Talk I feel like I am walking through a door outside where 99% of the world can't go. Only a few. I see some people way off in fields or way down the beach by themselves. Just walking being by themselves. They know I'm there. We all are aware of each other, but we don't feel the need to congragate. They are there for the same reason I am and we all are good.

    From the place that I stand
    To the land that is openly free
    Watching rivers run black
    By the trees that are vacant to greed

    Gotta give it up
    Gotta get a second chance
    Gotta give it up
    Gotta get a second chance
    And the jokes just started

    Gotta give it up,
    Give it up,
    Give it up
    Gotta give it up

    Or tell me why I'm so wrong
    Where does love come from
    If you've sold your reasoning out

    How can I learn
    If I don't understand what I see
    If I'm giving this mess
    Take a walk through a nightmare so real

    Gotta give it up
    Gotta get a second chance
    Gotta give it up
    Gotta get a second chance
    And the jokes just started

    Gotta give it up,
    Give it up,
    Give it up
    Gotta give it up

    Or tell me why I'm so wrong
    Where does luck come from
    When you've never been without

    Give it up,
    Give it up,
    Give it up
    Gotta give it up
    Give it up,
    Give it up
    Gotta give it up

    Tell me if I'm so wrong
    Where does love come from
    If you've sold your reasoning out

    Or tell me if I'm so wrong
    Where does luck come from
    When you've never been without

    Can do it
    You can do it
    You can do it
    Gotta give up

    The true geniuses always burn so brightly and so swiftly. God bless you Mark your lyrics and songs have an everlasting effect on not only my life but so many others too.

  52. S.... B....

    This album is the true testament to Mark Hollis' genius. Unlike later albums, every note in this one drips with focused, distilled genius with no meanderings or self indulgence. A true masterpiece of the 80's and beyond that still brings tears to my eyes and brings me right back to the actual spring of 1986 when I was 22 and the world and my future were wide open in front of me...

    R.I.P. Mr Hollis...

  53. g.... ....

    Loved Talk Talk before i Joined. When I was looking over those mountains in December and all was still and shrouded in snow, I remembered these songs. Also when in a grisly place when rounds were my friends not theirs, I thought of these then. Always lost without you. Just trying to find my way.

  54. g.... ....

    And from this world another glimpse of paradise leaves. RIP. And other mendacities; but it won't cut it. You were the best of our generation gave and a massive inspiration to so many.

    From the place that I stand to the land that is openly free
    Watching rivers run black by the trees that are vacant to greed
    Gotta give it up
    Gotta get a second chance, well heavens
    Gotta give it up
    Gotta get a second chance and the jokes just started
    Gotta give it up
    Give it up, give it up
    Gotta give it up
    Or tell me why I'm so wrong?
    Where does love come from if you've sold your reasoning out?

    How can I learn if I don't understand what I see?
    If I'm giving this mess, take a walk through a nightmare so real
    Gotta give it up
    Gotta get a second chance, well heavens
    Gotta give it up
    Gotta get a second chance and the jokes just started
    Gotta give it up
    Give it up, give it up
    Gotta give it up
    And tell me if I'm so wrong, where does luck come from when you've never been without?

    Give it up, give it up, give it up
    Gotta give it up
    Give it up, give it up
    Gotta give it up
    Tell me if I'm so wrong, where does love come from if you've sold your reasoning out?
    Or tell me if I'm so wrong, where does luck come from when you've never been without?

    I can't do it

    You can't do it

    You can't do

    Gotta give up, can't do it

  67. k.... ....

    R.I.P. For me you were one of the best singers !!!

  68. D.... S....

    I saw them as the support act to Duran Duran, it was a no contest, talk talk were absolute class.

  69. D.... S....

    Loved and will be missed x

  70. J.... v....

    R.I.P. MARK we will miss you

  71. c.... ....

    I made the huge error of only listening to - and loving - Talk Talk's hits in the 80's. I never heard this song 'til tonight when I heard Mark Hollis had passed. Talk about missing out - this song is fabulous. I'm on my 3rd listen. RIP, Mark! Gone too soon.

    c.... ....

    Well, it's never too late to experience beautiful things. And Mark Hollis/Talk Talk made some more brilliant stuff you may not have listened to yet. So, if you want to, try all of 'The Colour of Spring' first. It will give you a sense of where they were heading. Then open yourself up to 'Spirit of Eden' and realize it was sort of impossible and really not done to make an album like that in the 80's. Not many understood what they were doing, especially the pundits. It took me a while.

  72. M.... S....

    One of the best talk talk song

  73. f.... ....

    Thank you Mark Hollis

    f.... ....

    frode - 😢😪😭😭❤️

    Me too 😢😢

    A.... B....

    I'd read that Steve winwood play the organ on this, anyone know if this true?

    A.... B....

    @Antony Burton Yes, i believe that's correct.

    A.... B....

    I'm crying too. His music pulled me through some rough teen years. Listening to this album let me know that beauty and love still existed in my world bc of his music. May he RIH ! I'm shook. But grateful to have heard his gift to us. 💛

  75. D.... G....

    Enjoying this for the first time in who knows how long after hearing the sad news of Marks passing. Another musical hero leaves us to join the great gig in the sky..........
