"Talking Heads" lyrics

"Talking Heads"

[Geordie Greep:]
I call this one the disappearing tongue
Some nights it's off, some nights it's on
When it goes with a twist, it comes off
Put it in a vase and pass it on

Pull out feathers, tear off cellophane
Pull out feathers, tear off cellophane

[Cameron Picton:]
Sitting vacant on plough lane
Sitting vacant
Sitting lame
Sitting on plough lane
Sitting vacant
Sitting lame

[Geordie Greep:]
Pull out feathers, tear off cellophane
Pull out feathers, tear off cellophane

Yeah, sure, I'll leave the house
But first let me lose a few more pounds
If only I could be 3 stone 20 pounds, oh
Are 10 kilograms enough?

PVC drips across the street
And everybody clamours upon their knees
But I have no interest, I am indifferent
I do not care, I have no interest

Pull out feathers, tear off cellophane
Pull out feathers, tear off cellophane
Pull out feathers, tear off cellophane
Pull out feathers, tear off cellophane
