New (song) Obsession

Since I first got into music (let's say the seventh grade), I have found certain songs that I obsess over. Generally, these songs have a catchy tune and I derive some sort of meaning from the lyrics. I am able to listen to whatever song over and over on repeat and never get sick of it. Some songs that have received this special designation through the years have included: Stepping Out Queen (Van Morrison), Train in Vain (The Clash), Jesus Walking on the Water (Violent Femmes), Such a Night (Dr. John), Strange Overtones (David Byrne & Brian Eno), Every Little Thing She Does is Magic (The Police), and Lonely Road (Mason Jennings). The song that I have been obsessing over today is This Must Be the Place (Talking Heads). I have decided to jot down the lyrics, in order to listen to the song just one more time before bed.... so here they are.

This Must Be the Place

Home is where I want to be

Pick me up and turn me round

I feel numb-- a burn with a weak heart

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 nothing is wrong-- wrong

Hi yo I got plenty of time

Hi yo you got light in your eyes

And you're standing here besides me

I love the passing of time

Never for money

Always for love

Cover up and say goodnight--say good night

Home is where I want to be

But I guess I am already there

I come home-- she lifted up her wings

Guess this must be the place

I cant tell one from another

Did I find you, or did you find me?

There was a time before we were born

If someone asks, this is where I'll be-- where I'll be

Hi yo we drift in and out

Hi yo 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

Share the space for a minute or two

And you love me til my heart stops

Love me til I'm dead

Eyes that light up, eyes look through you

Cover up the blank spots

Hit me on the head ah ooh

Thank you David Byrne.
