"Grave starved ghost" almost sounds like a metaphor...like the girl he's with really needs something she doesn't have or can't have.
He obviously wants her to talk to him because it really sounds live he loves her and cares about what she thinks.
She also sounds like she's self conscious because she's ashamed to take off her clothes in front of someone who loves her.
When she "sat and stared" in her grandmother's chair "in that favorite room", it almost sound like maybe her grandma died and she had some cherished memories in that room?
The part where it says "and he, drunkenly, five for three, pressing on you" most likely refers to her grandfather? Or her father? I'm not 100% sure on that one.
She's crying because the memories are painful. The main singer in this song cares about her a lot and wants her to stop crying... She just sounds empty. Thus the "grave starved ghost" thing.
By the way, it's "Don't stop talking, just start walking."
"don't stop talking, just start walking" is from the 2008 release of "hip hip hooray" on the CD "not animal". the posted lyrics here are NOT from that version. these are the lyrics from the earlier demo version.

also, if you notice, my first comment was in 2007, meaning the person who posted the lyrics did so prior to that. your post was from 2010, two years after the second version on "not animal" was released.
