77. Talking Heads -
Cross Eyed and Painless
David Byrne and Brian Eno must have been channeling the Bard when they wrote this song.
The Heads arrived just like the Enola Gay, quiet and unnoticed till the payload exploded.
Love Jeff Bridges take on how the Talking Heads blew his mind.
He was asked about Pulp Fiction and the only analogy he could find was with music and the Talking Heads.
Jeff Bridges on the Talking Heads
-----------------------------------------------
Lost my shape-Trying to act casual!
Can't stop-I might end up in the hospital
I'm changing my shape-I feel like an accident
They're back!-To explain their experience
Isn't it weird/Looks too obscure to me
Wasting away/And that was their policy
I'm ready to leave-I push the fact in front of me
Facts lost-Facts are never what they seem to be
Nothing there!-No information left of any kind
Lifting my head-Looking for danger signs
There was a line/There was a formula
Sharp as a knife/Facts cut a hole in us
There was a line/There was a forula
Sharp as a knife/Facts cut a hole in us ...
