Talking with the Wolves Lyrics
Simon
You are the model of your age
Don't let the bastards take the stage
They don't love you
And hey
You are a pure light on the waves
Don't let them turn us into slaves
They don't care for you (Like I do)
Love that's given freely
Doesn't die - it only changes
And love that's taken easy
It has to hide
In these exchanges
Glory
Don't get trampled under dust
Don't tell yourself you're out so much
Sometimes words won't be enough
And talking talking with the wolves
You're talking talking
We don't even notice you
Love that's given freely
Doesn't die - it only changes
And love that's taken easy
It has to hide
In these exchanges
You are the model of your age
Don't let the bastards take the stage
They don't love you
You are a pure light on the waves
Don't let them turn us into slaves
They don't care for you (Like I do)
Doesn't die - it only changes
And love that's taken easy
It has to hide
In these exchanges
Don't get trampled under dust
Don't tell yourself you're out so much
Sometimes words won't be enough
You're talking talking
We don't even notice you
Doesn't die - it only changes
And love that's taken easy
It has to hide
In these exchanges

Saw him at Latitude Festival this year (an awesome performance, as an aside) and he introduced it along the lines of:
This is a song about people seeing everything as a sign and, well, it isn't always. You can talk to the wolves, but they're just looking at you as if you're food! So don't take things so seriously and just ride it out.
