Текст песни Blind:
Signs
Signs are lost
Signs disappear
Turn Invisible
Got no sign
Somebody got busted
Got a face of stone
And a ghostwritten biography
Dogs start to rush in,
Hungry for some food
Dogs start a-twitching
And they’re looking at you
It was light
By five
Torn all apart
All in the name of democracy
He’s hurt
He’s dying
Claimed he was a terrorist
Claimed to avert a catastrophe
Someone should’a told him
That the buck stops here
No one ever said
He was involved with thieves
And they’re blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
No sense of harmony, No sense of time
Don’t mention harmony, Say:
What is it? What is it? What is it?
Give a little shock, and he raises his hand
Somebody shouts out, says:
What is it? What is it? What is it?
He was shot down in the night!
People ride by but his body’s still alive.
Girl in the window what has she done?
She looks down at me…
says: “I don’t want to die!”
And I’m blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
Somebody could have told us where they go
Crawling all around looking for foot, foot, footprints
Now tell me what the Hell have we become?
Some dirty little bastards, what the hell is going on?
No sense of harmony
No sense of time
Don’t mention harmony, Say:
What is it? What is it? What is it?
Give a little shock, and he raises his hand
Somebody shouts out, says
What is it? What is it? What is it?
He was shot down in the night!
People ride by but his body’s still alive.
Girl in the window what has she done?
She looks down at me…
says: “I don’t want to die!”
They’re blind and they’re blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

Наверняка почти все слышали эту тему, только они могут не знать, что это Talking Heads;-)

Текст Psycho Killer:
I can’t seem to face up to the facts.
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax.
I can’t sleep, ’cause my bed’s on fire.
Don’t touch me, I’m a real live wire.

(Chorus:)
Psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est? (What is it?)
Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, far better,
Run, run, run, run, run, run away…
Oh, aye-yi-yi-yi-yi…

You start a conversation, you can’t even finish it.
You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not saying anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?

(Chorus x2)

Ce que j’ai fait ce soir-là (What I did that evening…)
Ce qu’elle a dit ce soir-là (What she said that evening…)
Réalisant mon espoir (Fulfilling my hope)
Je me lance vers la gloire (Headlong, I go for glory)
Okay…
We are vain and we are blind.
I hate people when they’re not polite.

(Chorus)

Текст You’ll Never Walk Alone:
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
a place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I’m getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
I’ve lived all over this town

This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
this ain’t no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain’t got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver
hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, couple of visas
don’t even know my real name
High on a hillside, trucks are loading
everything’s ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime
I might not ever get home

This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
this ain’t no fooling around
This ain’t no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B.
I ain’t got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, P.A.?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
to last a couple of days
But I ain’t got no speakers
ain’t got no headphones
ain’t got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time?
Can’t write a letter, can’t send a postcard
I can’t write nothing at all
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
this ain’t no fooling around
I’d love you hold you, I’d like to kiss you
I ain’t got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
we blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we’re tapping phone lines
I know that ain’t allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
don’t know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
we make a pretty good team
Don’t get exhausted, I’ll do some driving
you ought to get you some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions
then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won’t help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
the burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
don’t want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don’t take no chances
you better watch what you say

Текст You’ll Never Walk Alone:
I’m wearing my fur pyjamas
I ride a hot potato
It’s tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can’t hear you

Here on this mountain top, oh oh oh
I got some wild wild life
I got some news to tell you, oh oh
About some wild wild life
Here come the doctor in charge, oh oh oh
She’s got some wild wild life
Ain’t that the way you like it, oh oh
It’s some wild wild life

I wrestle with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors

Check out mister businessman, oh oh oh
He bought some wild wild life
On the way to the stock exchange, oh oh oh
He got some wild wild life
Pick it up when he opens the door, oh oh oh
He doing wild wild life
I know it’s the way you like it, oh oh
Living wild wild life

Peace of mind
It’s a piece of cake
Thought control
You get on board any time you like

Like sitting on pins and needles
Things fall apart
It’s scientific

Sleeping on the interstate, oh oh oh
Getting wild wild life
Checking in, checking out, oh oh oh
I got a wild wild life
Spending all of my money and time, oh oh oh
On too much wild wild life
We wanna go and we go where we go, oh oh oh
Doing wild wild life

I know it, that’s how we start, oh oh
Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture, here in the daylight, oh oh
And it’s a wild, wild life
You’ve grown so tall, you’ve grown so fast, oh oh oh
Wild, wild
And I know that’s the way you like it
Oh, ho!
Living wild wild wild wild, life.

Текст You’ll Never Walk Alone:
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, “Well… how did I get here?”

Letting the days go by; let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by; water flowing underground
Into the blue again; after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime; water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself,
“How do I work this?”
And you may ask yourself,
“Where is that large automobile?”
And you may tell yourself,
“This is not my beautiful house!”
And you may tell yourself,
“This is not my beautiful wife!”

Letting the days go by; let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by; water flowing underground
Into the blue again; after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime; water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was (x8)

Water dissolving, and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water, cover the water
Remove the water, from the bottom of the ocean.

Letting the days go by; let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by; water flowing underground
Into the blue again; after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime; water flowing underground.

Into the blue again; into the silent water
Under the rocks and stone; there is water underground
Letting the days go by; into the silent water
Once in a lifetime; water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself,
“What is that beautiful house?”
And you may ask yourself,
“Where does that highway lead to?”
And you may ask yourself,
“Am I right? Am I wrong?”
And you may say to yourself,
“My God! What have I done!?”

Letting the days go by; let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by; water flowing underground
Into the blue again; after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime; water flowing underground.

Into the blue again; into the silent water
Under the rocks and stone; there is water underground
Letting the days go by; into the silent water
Once in a lifetime; water flowing underground

Same as it ever was (x8)

Time isn’t holding us
Time isn’t after us
Time isn’t holding us
Time is a pony ride
Time isn’t holding us
Time isn’t after us
Time isn’t holding us
Time isn’t (gibberish)

Letting the days go by (x3)
Once in a lifetime (gibberish)

Letting the days go by (x3)
Once in a lifetime

Текст Burning Down The House:
Watch out you might get what you’re after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I’m an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party’s over
Hold tight We’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here’s your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin’ overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin’ fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shape down Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

Burning down the house

My house S’out of the ordinary
That’s right Don’t want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everything’s stuck together
I don’t know what you expect staring into your TV set
Fighting fire with fire..

Текст Take Me To The River:
I don’t know why I love you like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven’t seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know can you tell me
I’d love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
take me to the river, dip me in the water
wash-a me down x3

I don’t know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is a notion that I can’t forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know can you tell me
I’d love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water

Hold me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can’t, till I can’t, till i can’t, I can’t take no more

I don’t know why I love you like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Sixteen candles blown on my wall
And am I the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know can you tell me
I’d love to stay
Take me to the river,drop me in the water
Dip me in the water , drop me to the river
dip me in the water
drop me in the river
push me in the water

Текст :
And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She’s making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor’s house
Now she’s starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

Chorus:
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was)
And she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe (and she’s)
Drifting this way and that
Not touching ground at all (and she’s)
Up above the yard

Chorus:
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was)
And she was

She was glad about it… no doubt about it
She isn’t sure where she’s gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she’s done
And she was

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She’s moving out in all directions

Chorus:
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was)
Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)
Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)
And she was (repeat x8)

Текст Saga:
Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it’s nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
(you got it, you got it)

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
(we got it, we got it)

There was a shopping mall
Now it’s all covered with flowers
(you’ve got it, you’ve got it)

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
(you’ve got it, you’ve got it)

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I’d pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it’s only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it’s nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we’d start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it’s a peaceful oasis
(you got it, you got it)

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it’s all covered with daisies
(you got it, you got it)

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens
(you got it, you got it)

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
(you got it, you got it)

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
(you got it, you got it)

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
(you got it, you got it)

This was a discount store,
Now it’s turned into a cornfield
(you got it, you got it)

Don’t leave me stranded here
I can’t get used to this lifestyle

Текст Indian River:
Home….is where I want to be
pick me up again and turn me ’round
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
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
its ok I know nothings wrong, nothing
ohh ohh I got plenty of time
ohh ohh 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 and 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
I 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 is where I’ll be
where I’ll be
ohh ohh we drift in and out
ohh ohh sing into my mouth
out of all those kinds of people
you got a face with a view
I’m just an animal looking for a home and
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
I go oooohhhhh…….
