Ayreon - Talk Of The Town (Official Lyric Video)

Here’s the 4th and final lyric (behind-the-scenes) video before the release of Transitus next week: Talk of the Town. I think this is the most Ayreon-ish track on the album. It features Tom Baker, Paul Manzi, Tommy Karevik and Cammie Gilbert on vocals, and the fantastic instrumentalists Juan van Emmerloot, Joost van den Broek, Patty Gurdy, Jeroen Goossens and Ben Mathot. Oh yeah... and some tall beardy dude provides the comic relief :-) Hope you enjoy it!

LYRICS:
[The Storyteller:]
A few weeks have passed and Abby and Daniel are still madly, hopelessly in love. Try as they might, it's impossible for them to hide it. And why should they? And it is equally obvious that Daniel's brother Henry does not approve. No... not one little bit. And Henry plans to do something about it...
[Henry:]
Do you see them? Do you hear them?
They're talking about you
I believe them, I agree with them
You will bring our great house down
You will bring our great house down
You're the talk of the town
I know you want her, but don't you trust her
Our wealth is all she craves
Can't you see it now, can't you feel it how
She'll drag our good name down
She will drag our good name down
She's the talk of the town
[Daniel:]
You couldn't be more wrong, I won't hear your lies
I never felt so strong, I never felt so right
No matter what they say, no matter what they do
I will find a way, the life I choose
[Henry:]
This will break you down, turn your world around
This will seal your fate, nothing good awaits
This will spell your doom, on the road to ruin
When she's got your gold, she'll swallow your soul
[Abby:]
Don't you judge us, why begrudge us the love that we have found?
Are you jealous, can you tell us why you want to bring us down
You don't know me, if you could only see with honest eyes
It is obvious, you are envious so you're trying to drag us down
This is why you drag us down, you're the talk of the town
[Henry:]
I will break you down, turn your world around
I will seal your fate, nothing good awaits
I will spell your doom, on the road to ruin
I can't wait to tell dad, it will drive him mad
[Abby and Henry:]
You couldn't be more wrong - I will break you down
We won't hear your lies - Turn your world around
We never felt so strong - I will seal your fate
We never felt so right - Nothing good awaits
No matter what you say - I will spell your doom
No matter what you do - On the road to ruin
We will find our way - I can't wait to tell dad
The life we choose - It will drive him mad
