    140 :: The Barking and The Biting :: A Slow Drag with "Talking in The Dark"
    Mar 29 2026

    Today's slow drag is with "Talking in the Dark," ostensibly from "Armed Forces," and then again in many other places, culminating with a Rhino/Edsel reissue in 2002. The songwriting is credited to Elvis Costello.

    "Talking in The Dark" Lyrics

    I tried in vain to drive myself insane

    I talk to myself but I don't listen

    I found out what I was missing

    I miss talking in the dark

    Without you, I'm not conversational

    Without the sense of the occasional

    Without you, I miss talking in the dark

    When the barking and the biting is through

    We can talk like we're in love or talk like we're above it

    We can talk and talk until we talk ourselves out of it

    I look for the news, somebody to abuse

    I look at myself but it's so chancy

    I see things that I don't fancy

    I miss talking in the dark

    Without you, I'm not conversational

    Without the sense of the occasional

    Without you, I miss talking in the dark

    Without you, I miss talking in the dark

And on the few times I rang to propose There was a man there or so I'd suppose The greatest lover that you never had I'm just about glad They called time and vodka and lime In some far flung Canadian club Just about glad And there I was just waiting to fall Like a toe just aching to stub Just about glad Later on I could never accept it When you finally gave it all to him Just about glad And you said that my nurse was sweet But her lamp was just beginning to dim I'm just about glad That we never did that thing that we were going to do I'm just about glad I can look you in the eye But I can't say the same for you And though the passion still flutters and flickers It never got into our knickers For all of the courage that we never had I'm just about, I'm just about I'm just about, I'm just about (flutter and wow from the song of the same name, to flutter or flatter from Like Licorice) (Repeat Chorus) And it's all just a stupid creation Of my feverish imagination If I'm the greatest lover that you never had I'm just about, I'm just about I'm just about, I'm just about (Repeat Chorus) Is that a tear in your eye? Is that a tear in your eye? Is that a tear in your eye?

    "Like Licorice" Lyrics

    Gets down to the matter

    Gets down to the root

    To flutter or flatter

    In hot pursuit

    Like Licorice

    Like Licorice

    On your tongue

    It might get a little ticklish

    But it won't take long

    Some say they only found one little piece

    A relation of Anna and anise

    The sweetness of candy

    The thrill of your fears

    The tart of your tongue

    And the salt of your tears

    Like Licorice

    Like Licorice

    On your tongue

    It might get a little ticklish

    But it won't take long

    Give 'em what they want, a promise of a dream

    A ticket on a time machine

    A voyage to nowhere on a magic stick

    Maybe you can give it a lick

    Like Licorice

    Like Licorice

    On your tongue

    Like Licorice

    Like Licorice

    On your tongue

    It might get a little ticklish

    But it won't take long

    It won't take long

    It won't take long
