i just love this song so much :)

and it deserves a wee place on this board

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - burn with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing

Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up + say goodnight . . . say goodnight

Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home - -she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be

Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all tose kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Yes! This song owns. The version on "Stop Making Sense" is perfect. Perfect song to dance with a light post to.
    Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

    obviously i missed out an 's' at Heads on the title :(

    anyway.. i listened to the song on the way home from work today..

    I'm getting back into Talking heads in a big way.. spurred by the obvious homage from The Arcade Fire!

    That song is one of the most beautiful songs in the history of music.

    Great song!!

    Kudos for giving Talking Heads props! I got their box set for my birthday a couple of years ago. Great band!

    Good song, but to me it's the weakest on Speaking in Tongues. Haven't gotten Stop Making Sense yet ... my Talking Heads collection is pretty small at the moment.

    REAL LOUD.

    Then go pick up 'Fear of Music' and '77'...

    And 'Funeral' is a great new album from Arcade Fire.

    they put out a new record with the same title as the one they released two years ago?? how avant garde...need to check that out.
    "Many of Pearl Jam's most loyal fans are teenagers who do not have the money to pay the $50 or more that is often charged today for tickets to a popular concert...we have made a conscious decision that we do not want to put the price of our concerts out of the reach of many of our fans." 6/94
