Mommy, Daddy, come and look at me now
I'm a big man in a great big town
Years ago who would believe it's true
Goes to show what a little faith can do
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up
I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
you pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled,
Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled,
you pulled me up pull me up pull me up...
Pulled me up up up up up up up up
I drift away to another land
Sleeping dreaming such a simple thing
I think of things that I might be
I see my name go down in history
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up
I slipped, and I got pulled,

I tripped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled

Pulled me up up up up up up up up
I got up
'cause you pulled me up
I stood up
'cause you pulled me up
I got up
And that was because you pulled me up
I got up
In a little while you pulled me up
Pull me up up up up, up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
I cast a shadow on the living-room wall
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
Keep that wonderful food on the table
There's really no hurry I'll eat in a while
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
you pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled Up, I slipped,
And then you pulled, you pulled me up!

Talking Heads never worked for me. Always sounded like some lunatic singing in a quite irritating way.

The songs listed — and the supposed recording date — on this are confusing... A few, especially the first batch, seem about right for the period; the rest seem from later albums, and many are also found on the collection...

These guys are really good or really bad
love them for their originality, creativity
The songs listed — and the supposed recording date — on this are confusing... A few, especially the first batch, seem about right for the period; the rest seem from later albums, and many are also found on the collection, Sand in the Vaseline... In any case, for most of us, our first exposure to TH was the smash hit, "Take Me to the River" from More Songs about Buildings and Food, and the band's mass TV debut on SNL, in '78 I think it was. Those of us who were first experiencing the joys and freedoms of driving, car stereo tape decks (in this case, 8-track!), and killer weed knew there was something special and different about this wacky new band, and it wasn't just the singer. They were doing something truly astounding at the time: daring to turn the whole idea of Pop Music on its ear — and they pulled it off! We lapped it all up; we couldn't get enough of it. Forever after, they have kept us enamored and amused...
Great inventions musically wise at that time And during the years David improved his singing abilities (at least a little)
Just a great song. Nothing like it when it came out on their first album.
They have a shipload of terrific songs. This is certainly not one of them.
Thanks for reminding me of this great tune; I miss those guys. And those days.
That's cracklin'! Old Heads!
love it

Raw Heads. Put in the historical context - wonderful in several different ways. This song's an early new-wave rave-up. Pure and simple.

I really miss this period of Talking Heads.
That up UP squawk is so much fun.
That up UP squawk is so much fun.
listening to the heads taught me that music didn't always have to be serious and heavy, that sometimes music could just be fun. we should all spend more time dancing...
This song screams "listen to me" - not the best thing when you've tuned in for some background music to work to!
Still, I haven't heard it for so long, it's worth taking a minute to reflect on whether Talking Heads have stood the test of time or not. I can understand if someone hates this, but thank heaven for its middle eight. Turns the song from something Police-like repetitive into one that prompts a reaction along the lines of "how did they ever think they could get away with it?"
Now I can put this one back in the mental archive for another 5-10 years, and enjoy it again some time around 2020!

Believe me folks, when you heard them for the first time, with all that was happening in the mid-70s, this was unbelievably refreshing.

No, forget it, that's a rhetorical question. Basically you don't like anyone writing owt critical of David "Teletubby" Byrne. Fair enough - band fans often think that, but you need reminding that one person's godlike is another's sucko-barfo. As ever, this is the bleedin' obvious, but plainly it needs to be restated at regular intervals for some folk.
"Narcissism" - ROTFL! The state of my boat race, I barely look in the mirror whilst I'm shaving for fear of breaking it.
Wrong-o, Fred. Contrary to your bad assumption, I actually don't have a problem with people writing disparaging comments about TH or any other musician for that matter. What baffles me is the comment "Mute!" and the like. Seems to be as just as pointless as "I'm going to get another cup of coffee." Why not say what you don't like about the music instead of just telling everyone that you are silencing the station?
Then again, I suppose much of what is written on Internet comment boards is narcissistic to some degree, including this comment.

.David Byrne meet fingernails and chalkboard
Great memories from college - cranking this song on Friday nights in preparation of going out and blowing off some steam!
Let's see, what type of music was popular about this time, 1977? DISCO
I typically associate Talking Heads with it's time rather than content, and the band made it a better time.

I never "got" the Talking Heads, but I defend others' rights to somehow enjoy them. This got a 6 from me. I didn't change the station (or hit the mute button) but I couldn't wait for it to finish. Thankfully, TH songs are all around 3 minutes!

I agree! So many here have the overwhelming urge to show how "hipply discerning" they are by being negatively critical ... it's easy to be critical ... any ass can do it.

I recall this song from their innovative debut album released in the fall of 77. The TH's energy and edge was buck-wild and innovative within the 70's musical landscape. Now it tastes more like a fun new bubblegum flavor. Good times 
You have to have been there to understand just how different, and wild and crazy and smart, this first TH album was in 1977.
I was there. It was. I will always love this song.

It's songs like this that make me think that David Byrne is the inspiration for Too Much Coffee Man.
pogo baby, pogo.
Did anyone in the studio actually play back and listen to these vocals after they recorded them?

I really like this record (The Name of This Band..) a lot. I bought it new, and that original vinyl copy is one of my most prized possesions. I'd say I'd like to have it buried with me, but:
1.) I'm being cremated.
2.) Having the thing around might mean my pop-radio loving daughter will one day listen to it, and might learn that music is *art*, and not some insipid background noise.
Yes, some of the performances on "Stop Making Sense" or the 1980 RAI TV special were better, but IMO *this* record is the best contemporary record of that band. YMMV..

Not a hater so I'm not going to vote this a "1" or anything like that, but . . .
Some people with terrible voices (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Don Fagen) you endure because other aspects of their music make up for it. But this? Standard-grade bar rock. So the voice wears pretty thin pretty quickly.

Perhaps this is just too "interesting" for me...along with most Talking Heads. I prefer to admire them from afar, volume on mute.
My culinary comrades of the eighties were excited about wasabi/garlic ice cream ("how creative", they chimed in unison) but somehow, it just didn't come together for me...maybe I'm the problem, but I've not seen this kind of ice cream since. Good riddance

EEEEEKKKK! What just happened? New format entirely?!?
The should be a cap on the number of TH played in a day, and it should be 1. Two played in the last 4 hours.
I really like DB and the THeads, but not this one. Maybe I will come around, it gets good scores from the rest of the jury, but a 4 for me for now.

Yeah, the original version has some kind of amazing rythmic charge to it where everything is in sync extremely sharp, the sound levels go with the words and the whole thing jumps up. It's like astonishing-- this version isn't quite as sharp.
Hmm, you're really wrong or really right
