..all you do to me is talk, talk
that's how the next verse goes.
That's the best I can do there, sorry.

That song is "Talk Talk" by the group Talk Talk.
(Yep, they did a self titled song!)
|

Found on their self titled album

What many people don't know is that song is a soundtrack hit.
It appeared in the 1982 motion picture 'Night Shift' which came out a few months before the single was released

They also did the original (and better) version of "It's My Life" which was remade by No Doubt recently.

Talk Talk was an underrated band.
They got stuck in the synth pop category, which they were on their first couple of albums.
Subsequent albums--"The Colour Of Spring," "The Spirit of Eden," and "Laughing Stock," are progressive acoustic-oriented pop.
Mark Hollis tried to distance the band from the sound that made them popular.
"The Color of Spring" did have a few of successful singles--"Life's What You Make It," "Happiness is Easy," "Living In Another World"--but "The Spirit of Eden" and "Lauging Stock" are not much fun.
Fans of droney prog-rock adore these records and cite them as Talk Talk's redemption.
The problem for me is the music isn't interesting enough.
Free-form composing is easy to do if you want to be another boring jam band, but very hard to do if you want to create exciting music.
Talk Talk didn't cut it in this regard.
Mark Hollis sulked and whined his way out of a successful pop music career with arrogantly thinking he was some cross between Ornette Coleman and Debussy.
"The Colour of Spring," though probably contains Talk Talk's best songwriting, though I'm still more partial to the glassy synth-pop of the first two albums.
BTW, "Nightshift" is a great movie.
The song works well in it too.
