For those who aren't King Crimson fans:

"Talk, its only talk Arguments, agreements, advice, answers, Articulate announcements Its only talk

Talk, its only talk Babble, burble, banter, bicker bicker bicker Brouhaha, balderdash, ballyhoo Its only talk Back talk

Talk talk talk, its only talk Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat, Conversation, contradiction, criticism Its only talk Cheap talk

Talk, talk, its only talk Debates, discussions These are words with a d this time Dialogue, duologue, diatribe, Dissension, declamation Double talk, double talk

Talk, talk, its all talk Too much talk Small talk Talk that trash Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, enfadulations Its all talk Elephant talk, elephant talk, elephant talk!"

"Elephant Talk" from the album "Discipline" (1981) by King Crimson
