Talking Heads Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Popsicle

Lyricist:David Byrne, Christopher Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Martina
Weymouth

I'm hanging round the airport
I'm waiting for the plane
Mmm, something sweet and sticky
Mmm, runnin' down my hand

Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme one of those
(It's summertime, boy)
Coconut delight
Honey, honey, honey don't let go
(It's summertime, love)

Mmm, a kinky little sister
Mmm, a-wearin' rubber gloves
A sexual health emergency
A copulation fantasy
You and me, ecstasy
Hate to be reality

Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme, one of those
(It's summertime, boy)
I'm taking off my clothes
Honey, honey, honey don't let go
(It's summertime, love)

Summertime, summertime, ooh
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Sugar beat, sugar beat, ooh
Sugar beat, sugar beat, ooh

Ask, it shall be given
Pay, and ye shall receive
Cigarettes and pantyhose
Hit me in my funnybone
Hynie hole, tootsie roll
The jelly roll, it's time to go

Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme one of those
(It's summertime, boy)
Coconut delight
Honey, honey, honey don't let go
(It's summertime, love)

I'm throwing up my hands
Buddy, buddy, what's wrong with you?
(It's summertime, boy)
I'm blowing up my mind
Lemme, lemme see what I can do
(It's summertime, love)

Summertime, summertime, ooh
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Sugar beat, sugar beat, ooh
Sugar beat, sugar beat, ooh
Sugar beat, sugar beat

Summertime, summertime, ooh
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Sugar beat, ooh
Sugar beat, ooh

Summertime, summertime, ooh
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Sugar beat, sugar beat, ooh
Sugar beat, sugar beat, ooh


2.Name

There's a word for it
And words don't mean a thing
There's name for it
And names make all the difference in the world
Some things can never be spoken
Some things cannot be pronounced
That word does not exist in any language
It will never be uttered by a human mouth

Let x make a statement
Let breath pass through those cracked lips
That man was my hero
And now that word has been taken from us
Some things can never be spoken
Some things cannot be pronounced
That word does not exist in any language
It will never be uttered by a human mouth

Give me back my name
Give me back my name
Something has been changed in my life
Something has been changed in my life
Something must be returned to us
Something must me returned to us


3.I Get Wild / Wild Gravity

Lyricist:David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth

Fooled around enough with numbers
Let's not be ourselves today
Is it just my imagination?
Is it just someones fave?

Pleasantly out of proportion
It's hard to hold on to the ground
Now I didn't come to run
And this is everything and gravity lets you down

I get wild, wizing up, I just can't let go
I get wild, when I get ready I can hardly talk
Living lights, special lights yellow turns blue
I get wild, it's automatic and I can hardly move

Go ahead and pull the curtains
Check to see if I'm still here
Let me lose my perspective
Something worth waiting for

Somewhere in South Carolina
And gravity don't mean a thing
And all around the world, each and everyone
Playing with a heart of steel

I get up, climbing out, how did I get home?
I'll survive the situation, somebody shut the door
Beautiful, beautiful, climbing up the wall
I get by on automatic, no surprise at all

No one here can recognize you
Here is everything that you like
Feelings without explanations
Somethings are hard to describe

The sound of a cigarette burning
A place there where everything spins
And the sounds inside your mind is playing all the time
Playing with a heart of steel

I get wild, wizing up, I just can't let go
I get wild, when I get ready I can hardly talk
Living lights, special lights yellow turns blue
I get wild, it's automatic and I can hardly move

I get up, pushing up, how did I get home?
I'll survive the situation, somebody shut the door
Shut the door, shut the door climbing up the wall
I get by on automatic no surprise at all


4.Genius of Love

Lyricist:Adrian Belew, Christopher Frantz, Steven J. C. Stanley, Tina
Weymouth

What you gonna do when you get out of jail?
I'm gonna have some fun
What do you consider fun?
Fun, natural fun

I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning and there is no end
Time isn't present in that dimension
He'll take my arm
When we're walkin', rolling and rocking
It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man
Feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping

I'm in heaven
With the maven of funk mutation
Clinton's musicians such as Bootsy Collins
Raise expectations to a new intention
No one can sing
Quite like Smokey, Smokey Robinson
Wailin' and shakin' to Bob Marley
Reggae's expanding with Sly and Robbie

All the weekend
Boyfriend was missing
I surely miss him
The way he'd hold me in his warm arms
We went insane when we took cocaine

Stepping in a rhythm to a Kurtis Blow
Who needs to think when your feet just go
With a hiditihi and a hipitiho
Who needs to think when your feet just go
Who needs to think when your feet just go
James Brown, James Brown
James Brown, James Brown

If you see him
Please remind him, unhappy boyfriend
Well he's the genius of love
He's got a greater depth of feeling
Well he's the genius of love
He's so deep


5.Wild Wild Life (Extended Mix

Lyricist:David Byrne

I'm wearin' fur pyjamas
I ride a hot Potata'
It's tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can't hear you

Here on this mountain top, wo aho
I got some wild, wild life
I got some news to tell ya, wo aho
About some wild, wild life

Here comes the doctor in charge, wo aho
She's got some wild, wild life
Ain't that the way you like it?
Ho, ha, living wild, wild life

I wrestle, with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sittin' on a window sill
But he spends time behind closed doors

Check out Mr. Businessman, oh ho ho
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange, oh ho ho
He got some wild, wild life

Break it up when he opens the door, wo aho
He's doin' wild, wild life
I know that's the way you like it, wo ho
Living wild, wild life

Peace of mind? Piece of cake, thought control
You get on board anytime you like
Like sittin' on pins and needles
Things fall apart, it's scientific

Sleeping on the interstate, wo aho
Getting wild, wild life
Checkin' in, a checkin' out, uh huh
I got a wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time, oh ho ho

Done too much wild, wild
We wanna go, where we go
Where we go, oh ho ho
I doing wild, wild
I know it, that's how we start, uh huh

Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture, here in the daylight, oh ho
And it's a wild, wild life
You've grown so tall
You've grown so fast, oh ho ho

Wild, wild
I know that's the way you like it, oh ho
Living wild, wild, wild, wild life


6.Don't Worry About the Goverment

Lyricist:David Byrne

I see the clouds that move across the sky
I see the wind that moves the clouds away
It moves the clouds over by the building
I pick the building that I want to live in

I smell the pine trees and the peaches in the woods
I see the pine cones that fall by the highway
That's the highway that goes to the building
I pick the building that I want to live in

It's over there, it's over there
My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax alone with my loved ones

Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important

Don't you worry 'bout me
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me

I see the states, across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me

Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They own the buildings to help them along

It's over there, it's over there
My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax along with my loved ones

Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important

I wouldn't worry 'bout
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me


7.Facts Of Life

Lyricist:Waliou Jacques D Badarou, David Byrne, Christopher Frantz,
Jerry Harrison, Martina Weymouth

Monkey see and monkey do
Makin' babies, eatin' food
Smelly things, pubic hair
Words of love, in the air

Sparks fly, shootin' out
Makin' sure that every thing is working
I can't turn you down
We are programmed happy little children
Matter over mind

We cannot resist so I won't fight it
Love is a machine
Love is a machine without a driver
Facts of life, facts of life
Masterpiece, biology

Smokey water, air conditioned
Boys 'n' girls and automation
Chromosomes, designer jeans
An' chimpanzees an' human beings

Machines of love, machines of love
Machines of love, machines of love
Strong in body, strong in mind
A love machine with the facts of life
Facts of life, facts of life

So much sex 'n' violence
Must be a bad design
We're stupid to be fightin'
Every night

The monsters we create
They welcome us aboard
The best in advertising
From coast to coast

The girls and boys combine
Like monkeys in the zoo
The clouds have silver linings
Looks pretty good

People fall in love like in fairy tales
I'm not sure I like what they can do
I'm afraid that God has no master plan
He only takes what He can use

Factory life, ice cream pie, factory life
Someday we'll live on Venus
Men will walk on Mars
But we will still be monkeys
Down deep inside

If chimpanzees are smart
Then we will close our eyes
And let our instincts guide us
Oh oh oh oh, no


8.Girlfriend Is Better (Live)

Lyricist:David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth

I, who took the money?
Who took the money away?
And, I, it's always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
O U T but no hard feelings
What do you know? Take you away
We're being taken for a ride, again

I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's movin' up, going right through my heart
She's gonna give me surprise
Better than this, know that it's right
I think you can if you like
I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that, is it?

Down, down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
And I, I'm driving in circles
Come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, what started it over?
Nothing was lost, everything's free
I don't care how impossible, it seems

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get, closer to be far away
Only one look and that's all that it takes
Maybe that's all that we need
All that it takes, all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She goes wherever she likes.
(There she goes)

(I got a girlfriend that's better than that)
Now everyone's gettin' involved
(As we get older and stop making sense)
You won't find her waitin' long
(Stop making sense, stop making sense)
(Stop making sense, making sense)
Ha ah ah ah
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better than this
(Is it?)


9.New Feeling(Alternate Version)

Lyricist:David Byrne

It's not yesterday anymore
I go visiting, I talk loud
I talk to make myself clear

In front of a face that's nearer
Than it's ever been before, not this close before
Nearer than before, not this close before

It is, is a million years ago
I hear music, it sounds like bells
I feel like my head is high
I wish I could meet every one

Meet them all over again
And bring them up to my room
Meet them all over again
Everyone's up in my room

And now, now I'm busy, busy again
I feel like sitting down but
I'm still thinking, thinking about my friends
In my guarded moments

But now I'm speaking out
Speaking about my friends
But now I'm speaking out
Thinking about my friends


10.Drugs (Alternate Version)

Lyricist:David Byrne, Brian Eno

And all I see is little dots
Some are smeared and some are spots
Feels like a murder but that's alright

Somebody said there's too much light
Pull down the shade and it's alright
It'll be over in a minute or two

I'm charged up don't put me down
Don't feel like talking don't mess around
I feel mean, I feel okay
I'm charged up electricity

The boys are making a big mess
This makes the girls, start to laugh
I don't know what they're talking about

The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
Pick the sound and let it drop
Nobody knows what they're talking about

I'm charged up I'm kinda wooden
I'm barely moving I study motion
I study myself, I fooled myself
I'm charged up it's pretty intense

Don't put me down
Don't feel like talking, don't mess around
I feel mean, I feel okay
I'm charged up electricity
Thats what I call it


11.Life During Wartime (Alternate Version)

Lyricist:David Byrne, Christopher Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina
Weymouth

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesides, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows

The sound of gunfire off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived on brownstone, lived in the ghetto
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, couple of visas
You don't even know my real name

High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mudd club, or C.B.G.B.
I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, P A?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there

I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time?
Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that all ain't allowed

We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
I don't know what I look like

You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep

Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive

Get your instructions, follow directions
Then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
Whatever you think is best

Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
Don't wanna catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances
You better watch what you say


12.This Must Be the Place

Lyricist:David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, burn with a weak heart
Guess I must be having fun

The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing

I got plenty of time
You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight

Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place

I can't tell one from the other
I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be

We drift in and out
Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view

I'm just an animal looking for a home
And share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead

Eyes that light up
Eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head


13.Sugar On MyTongue

Lyricist:David Byrne

Oh, oh, she's my neighbor, fill my cup
I'll bet you, baby, she can fill it up

She put the sugar on my tongue
And she gimme, gimme, gimme some
Is she gonna put that sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna gimme, gimme, gimme some?

She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue

Sweet sweet, lover lover
Never, never, never find another

To put sugar on my tongue
Gimme, gimme, gimme some
Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna gimme gimme gimme some?

She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue

I've been waiting years and years
Finally I see that you appear
My friends are here and they ask of me
'Is this the time that we're gonna see her?'

Put the sugar on your tongue
Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna gimme, gimme some?

She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue
She'll put sugar on my tongue


14.And She Was (Early Version)

Lyricist:David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's makin' sure, she is not dreamin'

The world was moving
She was right there with it and she was
The world was moving
She was floatin' above it and she was
And she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth

The world was moving
She was hung above it and she was
The world was moving
She was right there with it and she was

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions

The world was moving
She was right there with it and she was
The world was moving
She was floatin' above it and she was

Joining the world of missing persons and she was
She was
Missing enough to feel alright and she was, and she was
And she was, and she was, and she was
And she was


15.First Week/Last Week....Carefree

Lyricist:David Byrne

Can we run that again, is that a woman's voice I hear?
I said, let's wait and see, I'll see for myself
That's a phrase I repeat to myself
Made a reference to me and that's myself too
What progress I have made the first week
First week, first week, first week

Every sentence I used refered to women and their names
I heard the voice first last week I heard it myself
Made a reference to me and that's myself
This report's incomplete I can see for myself
Every appointment has been moved to last week
Last week, last week, last week

I heard the voice first last week, I heard it myself
Made a reference to me and that's myself
This report's incomplete I can see for myself
Every appointment has been been moved to last week
Last week, last week, last week


16.Radio Head (Tito Larriva Vocal Version)

Lyricist:David Byrne, Christopher Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Martina
Weymouth

Baby, your mind is a radio
Got a receiver inside my head
Baby, I'm tuned to your wavelength
Lemme tell you what it says

Hey, transmitter
Oh, picking up something good
Hey, radio head
The sound of a brand new world

Baby, so look at my fingers they vibrate
From their tip down down to my toes
Now I'm receiving your signal
We're gonna leave the land of noise

Transmitter
Oh, picking up something good
Hey, radio head
The sound of a brand-new world

Radio head
The sound of a brand-new world

Now you and I have no secrets
Now baby, lemme read your mind
I hear ev'rything you're thinkin'
You can tell me what you find

Transmitter
Oh, picking up something good
Hey, radio head
The sound of a brand new world

Transmitter
Oh, picking up something good
Hey, radio head
The sound of a brand new world

Oh, radio head, radio head
Radio head, radio head
Oh, radio head, radio head
Radio head, radio head


17.Pyscho Killer

Lyricist:David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away

Psycho killer

You're talkin' a lot but you're not sayin' anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho killer

18.I Want to Live

Lyricist:David Byrne

I want to live
To feel a face that isn't there
I want to live
I roll over and you're not there

I'm only standing on the shore
I had some friends but I want more

I see the future and it's all mine
Want to be perfect, I'm taking my time
I'll try not to act like I'm so far away
I try to be right in whatever I say
Deeper feelings recur again and again and again and again and
again
A complex spiral leads me to spin

I want to live
To see the earth turn one more time
I wanna live
To feel a hand that isn't mine

I'm only standing on the shore
I had some fun but I want more

I'll try not to act like I'm so far away
I try to be right in whatever I say
Deeper feelings recur again and again and again and again and
again
A complex spiral leads me to spin


Lyricist:David Byrne

Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away

Even now we remember what we used to say
Takes a minute to wash that love away
Take a clean break wash that love away

Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'll be together if we cut that love away

It's a matter of degrees and that's true, that's true
And it's taken to extremes and that's why we
Work so hard to take that love away
Take that love away, take that love away, take that love away

Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away

Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'll be together if we cut that love away

It's a matter of degrees and that's true, that's true
This is his perspective and it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to take that love away
Take that love away, take that love away, take that love away


20.Electricity (Drugs)

Lyricist:David Byrne, Brian Eno

And all I see is little dots
Some are smeared, some are spots
Feel like a murder but that's alright
Somebody said there's too much light
Pull down that shade and it's alright
It'll be over in a minute or two

I'm charged up, don't put me down
Don't feel like talking, don't mess around
I feel mean, but I feel okay
I'm charged up, electricity
Is that what you calling

The boys are making a big mess
This makes the girls all start to laugh
I don't know what they're talking about
The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
They pick the sound and let it drop
Nobody knows what they're talking about

Don't tell the truth, I just tell lies
I'm picking up, but I left off
I'm charged up, it's pretty intense

I'm charged up, don't put me down
Don't feel like talking, don't mess around
And I feel mean, I feel okay
I'm charged up, electricity

22.Love - Building On Fire

Lyricist:David Byrne

When my love stands next to your love
I can't compel love, when it's not love
It's not love, it's not love
Which is my face, which is a building
Which is on fire, on fire

When my love stands next to your love
I can't define love, when it's not love
It's not love, it's not love
Which is my face, which is a building
Which is on fire, on fire

I've got two loves, I've got two loves
And they go tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet like little birds
They're my two loves
And they go tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet like little birds
They're my two loves

Count them one, two loves
Count them one, two loves
Which is my face, which is a building
Which is on fire, on fire

When my love stands next to your love
I can't define love, when it's not love
It's not love, it's not love
Which is my face, which is a building
Which is on fire, on fire


23.Sugar on My Tongue

Lyricist:David Byrne

Oh, oh, she's my neighbor
Fill my cup, I'll bet you baby
She could fill it up
She'll drop the sugar on my tongue
Will she gimme gimme gimme some

She gonna put sugar on my tongue
She gonna gimme gimme gimme some
She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue

Sweet sweet, lover lover
Never never never find another
To put sugar on my tongue
Gimme gimme gimme some

Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna gimme gimme gimme some?
She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue

I've been waiting years and years
Finally I see that you appear
My friends are here, and they ask of me
'Is this the time that we're gonna see
Her put the sugar on your tongue?'

Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna gimme gimme some?

She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue
Sugar on my tongue
Oh, oh, oh


24.I Wish You Wouldn't Say That

Lyricist:David Byrne

I wish you wouldn't say that
I thought I'd have to come right over
I thought I made it clear enough
I guess I'll have to make it clearer

Say something to change my mind
Bring me back the way I used to be
If it takes forever that's all right
Say the words that I've been trying to hear

I wish you didn't tell her
I thought I'd have to come right over
I thought I'd have to make it clearer
Now Jimmy's coming over

There are places that I won't forget
And I guess I'm never going back
Guess it's information that I lack
I've told lies without a hint or regret

I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that

25.Sax & Violins

Talking Heads
The Best Of:Once In A Lifetime
Sax & Violins
Falling, falling
Gonna drop like a stone
I'm falling through the atmosphere
On a warm afternoon
If lovers discover
That ev'ryone dies
So don't tell me, please hold me
It's a dangerous life

Daddy dear
Let's get outta here
I'm scared
Ten o'clock
Nighttime in New York
It's weird

If you're looking for trouble
Well, that's what you will find

Mom & Pop
They will fuck you up
For sure
Love so deep
Kills you in your sleep
It's true

Love keeps us together
And love keeps us alive

And we - are criminals that never
broke no laws
And all - we needed was a net
to break our fall

They're searching for diamonds
They're grabbin' at straws
Sex 'n' sin
Sax 'n' violins
It's hell
Wooden heads
Furniture with legs
For sale

Love keeps us together
And love will drive us insane

And we - are criminals that never
broke no laws
And all - we needed was a net
to break our fall

Going home
Back where I belong
To stay
Rays of light
They will turn the light
To day

Birds travel together
Birds follow the sun
And I - am watching as the birds go flying home


26.(Nothing But) Flowers

Lyricist:David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth

Here we stand
Like an Adam and Eve
Waterfalls
Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
Birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothin' but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You've got it, you've got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got somethin' for dinner
We've got it, we've got it

There was a shoppin' mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
You've got it, you've got it
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
We've got it, we've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standin' tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town?
Now, it's nothin' but flowers

The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong, hey

Once there were parkin' lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You've got it, you've got it
This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You've got it, you've got it

I miss the honky tonks
Dairy queens, and 7-Elevens
You've got it, you've got it
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
You've got it, you've got it

I dream of cherry pies, candy bars
And chocolate chip cookies
You've got it, you've got it
We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
You've got it, you've got it

This was a discount store
Now it's turned into a cornfield
You've got it, you've got it
Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle


27.Mommy Daddy You and I

Lyricist:David Byrne, Christopher Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Martina
Weymouth

All the way home from Baltimore
We couldn't find a seat
Conductor says he's sorry for
The blisters on our feet

Come a-ridin' in a bus, the high and the low
Mommy, daddy, you and I
Goin' on a trip and we're not goin' home
Mommy, daddy, you and I, I

Drivin', keep drivin'
Drivin', drivin' all night
Sleepin' on my daddy's shoulder
Drinking from a paper cup

And I'm wearin' my grandfather's clothes
And they say that up North, it gets cold

Crawlin' out of bed one night, walkin' in my sleep
We're not the only family to take this little trip

Drivin' all the way up, it's 30 below
Mommy, daddy, you and I
Even little kids gettin' ready to go
Mommy, daddy, you and I, I

Chilly, chilly-willy, it's colder the further we go
But some are born to take advantage
But sayin', it don't make it so

So hold me and don't let me go
'Cause the sidewalks are covered with snow

He's speakin' English now
And he's smoothin' out his clothes
He's Mr. Button Down, he's leavin' home

Makin' changes day by day
We still ain't got no plan
How we gonna make our way
In this foreign land?

Well, we'll keep drivin', keep drivin'
Drivin' with all of our might
Changin', still changin'
Changin' the water of life

Keep that little man a-shining
See how the tail can wag the dog

And we're all ridin' in this old bus
And the driver is singin' to us
And we're wearin' out grandfather's clothes
'Cause we heard that up North, it gets cold

29.First Week, Last Week Carefree

Can we run that again
Is that a woman's voice I hear?
I said, 'Let's wait and see. I'll see for myself'
That's a phrase I repeat
To myself
Made a reference to me and
that's myself too

What progress I have made the first week
First Week
First Week
First Week

Every sentence I use
Refer to women and their names
I heard the voice first last week
I heard it myself
Made a reference to me
That's myself
This report's incomplete
I see for myself

Every appointment has been moved to last week
Last Week
Last Week
Last Week

oh...
ah...
oh...

I heard the voice first last week

oh...
ah...
oh...


30.Gangster of Love

Lyricist:David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth

Gangster of love
Gangster of love
You with the cocktail in your hand
You in your red Mercedes Benz
Goin' in one ear and out the other
Cover up the pain with laughter, baby

Hey Al Capone
Is that who you think you are?
All the girls
All around the world
Well, they wanna shake your hand
It won't be long
You'll need an alibi
A little bird
Told me what he'd heard
Is it really true?
Gangster of love
Gangster of love
They're gonna take you for a ride
And hit you right between the eyes
You can hear the pretty music playin' well
Listen to the words, they're saying
You can hear them calling', hear them calling'

Hey, Al Capone
You'll need a bodyguard
Just like that
You'll be laid out flat
With a broken heart
I shot you down
Who's gonna help you now?
Valentine's day
Better hope and pray
They'll be tearing you apart
Gangster of love, Gangster of love
Gangster of love, Gangster of love

I hear conversations
In restaurants and bars
I read all the papers
And what they say is wrong
It's such a fine, fine line
Such a fine, fine line

Gangster of love
Gangster of love
Gangster of love
Gangster of love
Gangster of love
Gangster of love
Gangster of love
