Not In Love
by David Byrne
(Lyrics taken from the Talking Heads album "More Songs About Buildings And
Food")
(Ok!)
...Pretty?
What is it? Brand new? Well that's not the way I think of you.
You'll touch, in a minute; but that's not what I want to do.
We are two strangers,
We might never have met.
We can talk forever, I understand what you said.
But I'm...not in love.
Do people really fall in love?
What does it take to fall in love?
(Ya know it!)
...Happy
Is there time for this? Is this responsibility?
Boy time, girl time is that the difference between you and me?
I won't ask any questions,
Who needs to make a new start.
I choose to believe you,
I said before that I can't.
...'Cause I'm not in love.
What does it take to fall in love?
Why should I want to fall in love? (Do people really fall in love?)
...Feelings?
Take it easy baby...Don't let your feelings get in the way.
I believe, some day, we can live in a world without love.
I can answer your questions,
If you won't twist what I say.
Please respect my opinions,
They will be respected someday.
Because we don't need love. (But, I'm not in love)
I believe that we don't need love.
There'll come a day when we won't need love. (Do people really fall in
love?)
CUT ME OUT
lay there with the sheets
pulled up over your head
how long do you think you can play dead?
underneath the skin I am,
pinchin and fingerin
every nerve, every thought
do you think you can cut me out
do you think you can
cut me out
who you tryin to kid
let me, tell you
a little 'bout myself
i live deeper than
any blade can get at
so steady your hand
you think you can
then cut me out
i been keepin me a list
of every wicked thing you did
scrawled across the walls of my cell
a little me/meat(?)
a little skin
a little cage to keep me in
do you think,
you can let me go
now do you think you can
cut me out
who you tryin to kid
let me tell you
a little about myself
i live deeper than
any blade can get at
so steady your hand
you think you can
then cut me out
a little me/meat(?)
a little skin,
a little cage to keep me in
lay there with the sheets
pulled up over your head
how long do you think you can play dead?
PAPER DRESS
so what we did,
we redefined
the perfect function,
to realize
some kind of potential
and underneath,
her paper dress
she knows we're different
shoulders and a neck
shrug away this distance
now in my home,
or in my car
i can't help, but
all my thoughts
eventually drift back
to this day
where ever we go, where ever we go,
this ghost will follow
where ever we go, where ever we go,
this ghost follows!
where ever we go, where ever we go,
this ghost.....ayhhhh!
