Talk Talk - Hate Lyrics






RELAX YOUR STARE
It's laughing in my face
My foes beware
I'm tired of losing grace
The child's not there
The priest is losing faith
Defile my care
And stumble to the flames

People crying, People crying
My confusion
Are there illusions?
...Hate

THE DICE WON'T LOSE
They've everything to gain
Devout prepare
The stones along my grave

People crying, People crying
My confusion
Are there illusions?
...Hate

Don't say a word
If I've been away too long
I found out it's wrong
I found out...
I DON'T NEED HATE

  1. P.... B....

    When I feel angry I listen to this song.

  2. M.... D....

    LOVE!😍😍❤❤....R.I.P. MARK HOLLIS....

  3. B.... ....

    As powerful today (today) as when I first heard it back in the day
    ❤️

  4. B.... ....

    Amazing Track ❤️

    As poignant Today as it was when first released in 1982.
    This, together with the fantastic artwork by James Marsh for the cover of The Party's Over, sets in like a calling charge to just slap you in the face.

    OUTSTANDING BAND

    A brilliant debut album that paves the way for a journey through a collection of 5 albums that could only be
    TALK TALK

    Newbies..
    Take the journey...
    Smell the PASSION and feel the PUNCH!
    Then chill upon the wing of a 🦋

    I DON'T FEEL HATE

  5. M.... d....

    need this song to contextualize a book i'm reading.

  6. s.... ....

    No stupid comment are hallowed for such evocative and powerfull message !The 11 that dislike this song are not even human for sure . I really miss the 80´ies...it was like ...they knew it.....that sadness... kind of prophetic ! ReMARKable !

  7. p.... ....

    love love!!!!!

  8. J.... P....

    Es indescriptiblemente apasionante lo q una banda como esta sigue transmitiendo pese al paso del tiempo y con el pesar de haber perdido(físicamente )a su gran cantante... Gracias por compartirlo! Argentina presente.

  9. P.... B....

    You express everything I feel with your voice.

  10. P.... B....

    Thanks for your music. I LOVE YOU

  11. S.... b....

    RIP Mark, thank you for the music.

  12. J.... R....

    Still one of the best Talk Talk songs although The Colour of Spring is a masterpiece.

  13. a.... s....

    RIP Mark Hollis

  14. M.... ....

    Better hate than getting killed by George W. Bush and Konsorten!!!!!

  15. M.... ....

    I DO PLEAD HATE IF THEY STILL CRUEL MY FRIENDS IN FUCKING GERMAN PSYCHIATRIES - AND THEY DO!!

  16. J.... B....

    I'm always amazed when i see the year of release. 80's are the best era for music.

  17. T.... ....

    The most powerful use of Simmons drums yet! It is a tribal synth-pop masterpiece in the key of C-D, G-C.

  18. D.... P....

    When it builds from 3:10....

  19. K.... D....

    The music, the power, the Lyrics und .....that VOICE! All my Love. <3. <3 <3

  20. M.... L....

    I love this track, but I prefer it when they played it live.

    M.... L....

    Dortmund 84!

  21. T.... M....

    The Genius Mark

  22. S.... V....

    this song made me realize how much I love synth organs

  23. R.... B....

    i love this group since my childhood it's my father who has made me liked this group and now I can't spare of it anymore when I can't sleep

  24. M.... J....

    It's my favourite song of this album !!! :)

    M.... J....

    Mine is "The Party's Over".

  25. c.... ....

    those that provided the 3 dislikes must be found and exterminated immediately.

    c.... ....

    there are 7 now, i am afraid it has been allowed to grow out of control

    c.... ....

    clehrbar The foolish ones will never die out.😥😥😥😥😥!

    c.... ....

    And GWB will kill the whole world if we do not stop tjis B....!

    c.... ....

    @Udo Herholt It makes you wonder what kind of "music" those freaks like.

  26. m.... s....

    Early 1980s at its BEST,remember it like it was yesterday in NYC........

  27. S.... N....

    Back to second yr in high school!! Great times!

  28. M.... ....

    And CONTERGAN: It was strictly forbidden here about 58 years ago. And then they sell it to one of my most beloved country (together with France) GB and change the name to Thalmidoide .... every single victim there being younger than the "Stichtag" is an ABSOLUTE GERMAN SIN! The plagiates are DANGEROUS - they can punch anything in - and they do!!

  29. M.... ....

    Sometimes it is better to plead hate than to say yes to all the shit like to Electroshock to pregnant women (Bergeman in Heidelberg needs higher case numbers to decide if it it better than psychopharmaka - for for sure not his wife is gonna represent them) and in Wiesloch they are doing it on mon. wed. fri. from 9 - 11 .... Oh my God!

  30. R.... A....

    Duran Duran were & are shite! Same as spandau ballet etc! Talk Talk were never "new romantic" Too good for that "label"

  31. c.... ....

    Great sound of Simmons SDS V

  32. P.... L....

    In this part of the song....The SYNTHESIZER LEAD is as FINE as it can get!

  33. P.... L....

    I can imagine a DOCTOR WHO episode based on this song!

  34. S.... J....

    EXCELENTE MUSICA EXCELENTE CANTANTE

  35. D.... F....

    I need HATE!

    D.... F....

    you don't!

  36. L.... B....

    Brilliant!

  37. O.... T....

    Saw this band when they were the warm up for Duran Duran in Hammersmith back in the 80's, thought these boys were far better than the headline act. This is a fabulous album.

    O.... T....

    Oddshaped Turnip CORRECT.

    O.... T....

    Amazing reply as I saw them open for the Phy Furs in `85 and have always had the same thoughts! They should have been the headliners, but I know. Timing.

    O.... T....

    You lucky sum of a beach

    O.... T....

    So lucky! I love both bands although I admire TT for hopping off the bandwagon and forging their own beautiful path. Don't get me wrong I love synthpop but what TT went onto was something far more powerful.

    O.... T....

    I fantasise about that very experience. I saw Duran Duran in 82 but, alas Talk Talk weren't their support in Australia.  You sir, are very lucky indeed.

  38. R.... M....

    We have to eradicate this Hate What a prediction , love it

  39. m.... z....

    Always loved the intro to this.

  40. f.... a....

    parlare dell'odio e rinunciare ad aderire ad esso anche con la musica

  41. P.... L....

    Love Talk Talk - A pleasant show of English culture

  42. W.... ....

    This song is absolutely amazing! Beautiful music and beautiful voice indeed xx

  43. T.... ....

    I AGREE! Hate is my favourite EVER Talk Talk track. They never quite topped The Party's Over album. Their New Romantic period here was just SUBLIME! Marks desperation and angst in his voice is so POWWERRFUL on the 1st album and on Hate more so than EVER!

  44. p.... g....

    @moceanwerker Oh yes.....sorry about that but i couldnt afford the cd sorry again..

  45. m.... ....

    FINALLY. Some bastard broke into my car in 1997 and stole this CD - I have been searching for this ever since! Some of the best 80s music ever...

    m.... ....

    But didn't steal the car...

  46. m.... ....

    I wonder if theres artists nowadays that can match the musical new wave quality of talk talk ? wish 80s new wave would come back to life in music today !

  47. J.... s....

    I hate talktalk ISP

  48. c.... ....

    @Rotaryfatboy damn right!

  49. c.... ....

    they are fucking awesome! Haunting music of the 80s. My god music today is for ass wipe.

  50. T.... B....

    @Rotaryfatboy i did, it was fukin brill mate----best days of my life,i saw talk talk in 84---they knocked me out ---awesome

  51. K.... A....

    Yepp, that music touches my soul, great voice

  52. M.... ....


    The child is not there
    The priest is losing faith
    Defile my care
    And stumble to the flames... Very prophetic lyrics there!

  53. d.... ....

    @jessaka63 there's footage of HATE in youtube; one from 1982 ( off the record ) and another from 1984 ( veronica's rocknight ) check it out :)

  54. A.... D....

    Holy cow! What has happened to present music and musicians?!

  55. T.... ....

    I want to drowned in this piece forever. In a whirl of a 1981 dream, Hate is THE Talk Talk most genius moment. Such conviction and expression +

  56. m.... d....

    its about time mark hollis/talk talk were in the music hall of fame.

  57. T.... ....

    The power of this track is UNBELIEVABLE!
    THE most intense piece of music and voice. My FAVOURITE Talk Talk track EVER. This makes me feel SO many emotions.

  58. D.... S....

    Tengo la cinta de este album y las canciones Hate y Have you heard the news han salido muy mal grabadas. Las subiré para comparar con el MP3 que has subido.

    I have the tape and think it's worst-recorded. I'll upload that songs in order to make a comparison with your MP3's.

  59. D.... ....

    ну это всё ??????????7 бля!!!!!!!!!!

  60. c.... ....

    In my opinion the best Talk Talk album ever, and maybe the best album of the 80's

  61. G.... M....

  62. Q.... S....

    OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!! This is such a FANTASTIC AWESOME song, so FULL of RAGE & PASSION ...... BRING IT THE HELL ON!!!!!!! 10 stars

  63. P.... L....

    listen to the live version!

  64. T.... H....

    This album was the one that made the 80's what they were for me.
    Absolutely brilliant to hear these tracks again.Always reminds me of my first girlfriend "J"

  65. s.... ....

    never heard the song,untill about a year ago,but it is one of my favorites songs of talk,talk,.this is right up their with"its my life" and "such a shame"Mark are vocals vocals are great! and still is!
