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,
pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
you pulled me up
I tripped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled
you pulled me up! Pulled me up up, Pulled me up...
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!
Pull me up...Pull me up...Watch out!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!

Please, PLEASE, one single day without DB and TH! Just ONE day (to start with...)!
And it's not that I dislike the music itself but there's a huge overkill of both

I heard a comedian say that the lyrics from the Talking Heads sounded like what a crazy homeless person yells on a streetcorner, and it's accurate.  That said, I think we should all listen to that crazy voice more often!

It's funny how I only realized now that the german punk band Die Ärzte wrote the song "Lasse redn", which uses the exact same chords

Just saw Stop Making Sense at The Boulder Theater a couple days ago, Oct. 30. Like a concert, the place was packed; sold-out, and full of lively partiers... Kevin and I staked out a balcony spot.  He'd never seen it, and was totally blown away; pretty much overwhelmed by the whole thing, as I was the first time... It was maybe my third time seeing it and the first in almost 20 years.  It is the best concert film ever, and continually reminds or surprises everyone by showing us how incredibly great they were. Every song, I danced my buns off in the aisle with many others. How could I not? with every member of the band hopping and bopping and sweating like crazy to the groovy, funky world beats they were putting out the whole time?!  David was beside himself and sang and danced and jammed beyond belief... Jerry was on fire, and Tina played some of the best bass I've ever witnessed... Chris Franz was an absolute Moonie... Bernie Worrell and Alex Weir and the backup singers were AMAZING.  GO SEE IT!



I saw it in Denver back in the early '80s.  My wife went with me, reluctantly.  But she loved it.    It made Sense to her.  :)   Of course I loved it.

Hearing this reminds me of how wild and turbulent it felt to be in high school, going through all that, and yet have the magical music of this madly exuberant band to escape into as soon as we jumped into our cars and plugged in our Heads tapes. How blessed we were!

Perhaps, but this song was originally released in 1977.  I always liked the quirky, three-bar phrases within the verses - gives the song a unique tension.

Yeah, this live album wasn't released until 1982 or '83.  The studio version of this song was on their first album: "77", which obviously was released in 1977.

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...

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...
Posted 10 years ago by timmywilson    [ Reply ]

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!

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.

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.

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!

pull up your dirty trousers and march off this site, HATERS.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? Are you a professional musician? Shaddup.
 
Uh-huh. So only criticism from musicians is allowed on this board, and the rest of us have to post adulation or STFU? Oh dear, that'll make for a dull old BBS, and no mistake.

It's a discussion board. People discuss things on it. They post their feelings on it. Get used to it. If you don't like  to see St David being criticised, don't read the board. But don't tell posters to "shaddup".

It's songs like this that make me think that David Byrne is the inspiration for Too Much Coffee Man.{#Bananajam}

Did anyone in the studio actually play back and listen to these vocals after they recorded them?

Not to sound too clueless, but what does OMFUG stand for?
 
That's not clueless. Clueless is asking the crazy-haired guy taking tickets at the door what it stands for.

This is absolutely horrific. The Vocals anyway, the music is fine, in a light-pop kind of way.

 
rtwingo is right IMO.  And here I thought I was the king of acquired tastes.
