Trying to act casual
Can't stop
I might end up in the hospital
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
That was their policy
I'm ready to leave
I push the fact in front of me
Facts lost
Yeah, facts are never what they seem to be
Nothing there
No information left of any kind
L-l-lifting my head
L-l-looking for the 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 formula
Sharp as a knife
Facts cut a hole in us
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head
Looking around inside
The island of doubt
It's like the taste of medicine
Working by hindsight
Got the message from the oxygen
M-m-making a list
Find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right
Facts are useful in emergencies
The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head
Looking around inside
Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I-I-I'm still waiting

Stiiiiiilllllll waiting for other Head songs to play.
Indeed it was! What a weekend.
My favourite (English UK spelling) one too with David Byrne and TH at the top of their game - pity it all went downhill after this album.
David Byrne recently played San Francisco with a brilliant band and an incredible song selection - including many Talking Heads songs. The show was one of the best I'd seen in a few years.

Tina showin' the boys how it's done.

Great footage—thanks! Was this performance used in "The Name of This Band is The Talking Heads"? That album's largely forgotten these days.
I saw Belew at Carnegie-Mellon University around '84 with one of Elvis Presley's drummers (who had his own eager audience of fans/questioners about Elvis at the end of the show). Loud and a lot of fun.
Belew is now in a quartet with Stewart Copeland!
Bad ass, definitive Talking Heads.

Dear pesky facts:
How I miss you.
Don't feel bad; now we have alternative facts!

Great tune. Loved it from Day 1 - long ago although it seems like only yesterday.

my wife says this is Trick Daddy and I say it is Air Supply
I'll settle it; you two might want to reconsider your marriage.

Funky as hell! Thank you.

Very cool !

This song has passed the tests of time.
I'll see your 1 and raise you an 8. Pretentious, maybe. But still enjoyable to my ears!
pri-ˈten(t)-shəs
"having or showing the unpleasant quality of people who want to be regarded as more impressive, successful, or important than they really are"
I don't think that fits this tune. Do you even know the meaning of the words you use?

Why pretentious?

Except the painless part doesn't extend into the morning after . . .

Hey CJ...PARTY YER BALLS OFF!
That is all.

The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes...
Having a great time listening in from Ireland and st the beach in October wow . Happy days















you have no taste, and you're a jerk, and yes i am attacking you on rp. no one puts TH in a corner. also, i'm an audiophile and forced to listen to rp at work, in which i hold a certain disdain for.
Facts don't do what I want them to.
All good, after a very bland 70s.

A very bland 70's?

This song is GREAT. The beat kills me. They were one of the first bands to wake me up to alternative music back in the late 70's and early 80's. Great era if you were there. All era's are good, nothing bad about creativity when it comes to music. Just depends on your perspective and where you are in your life. :)

Not a chance. Honestly, did you actually think that might happen?
Easily my fave TH song....
Reminds me of the time I was playing Billy Joel's Virginia and the line"Catholic girls start much too late." I was getting royally bitched at from some woman to never play that song again. Yeah, sure, like I had any control over the playlist "back in the day."
Bill can play whatever he wants. It's his station!

Not a chance. Honestly, did you actually think that might happen?

New Order - Shriekback - TH, pretty great set you've got going on here.
Trying to ruin this song for you even more...


Over time a quantum entanglement effect will take hold, enabling Carlton to dance in time with the beat...briefly.
Go PSD then...



Amen. And still one of my favorite albums. (yes, albums)
Amen to that Amen
Amen. And still one of my favorite albums. (yes, albums)
Well said indeed!
Agreed...perhaps my favorite TH song...
Funny, I recognize the talent. This band is tight. Really tight. The music is original and bold.
But I just can't get into it. waz wrong with me? No matter, am happier than a clam RP plays plenty of TKs.
Well said indeed!
Exactly. This whole album in astonishing in its musical creativity.
Yup...a classic.

But now, I dunno - my energy is different, and what used to move me is more close to the edge of irritating.
Still love the lyrics though.
Their best lyrics are still the best.
Still waiting . . .

Can't think of anything more relevant in these days of "their" facts vs. "our" facts.

That's OK .. I just create my own facts. And that is a fact.
(Talking Heads + Adrian Belew) Eno = Pure Musical Energy
Yes!

DAVID BYRNE THE BEST

Cos they were friggin awesome... but you may have to die first to discover that!
