Mid-Atlantic

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Can't we be a little more discriminating, Joe? I mean, the face is really something else but listen to her crow It wouldn't work out No common language Quite a difference So Mid-Atlantic [Verse 2] Can't we find a little more invigorating place? I mean, the music really sends me but the talk is outer space It makes me nervous So undirected Mild confusion So Mid-Atlantic [Refrain] Big talk, small talk So Mid-Atlantic [Verse 3] There's the kind of person that you really ought to chase A simple "How are you?" and right away you know they're from some place Not unspecific Firmly rooted Well-established Not Mid-Atlantic [Refrain] Big talk, small talk So Mid-Atlantic [Bridge] I couldn't place it, I couldn't face it I couldn't place it, I couldn't face it I couldn't place it, I couldn't face it So Mid-Atlantic [Verse 4] Can't we be a little more discriminating, Joe? I mean you've heard one Mid-Atlantic word you know you've heard them all What elocution So Mid-Atlantic [Verse 5] Is there some academy a thousand miles at sea Where I could learn to be conversive, I make no apology It's not my favorite I don't enjoy it But why fight it So Mid-Atlantic [Refrain] Big talk, small talk So Mid-Atlantic Big talk, small talk So Mid-Atlantic
