Last time she jumped out the window
Well, she only turned and smiled
You might think she would say something
But you'd have to wait a while
Well, the lady don't mind
No, no, no, the lady don't mind
She just turns her head and disappears
And I kinda like that style
Little boat floats on the river
It's drifting through a haze
She floats by whenever she wants to
Well, there she goes again
Well, it's no trouble at all
No, no, no trouble at all
Well, what she does is all right with me
And I kinda like that style
Come on, come on, I go up and down
I like this curious feeling
I know, I see, It's like make-believe
Cover your ears so you can hear what I'm saying
I'm not lost, but I don't know where I am
I got a question
All right, all right, this is what we like
Who knows, who knows what I'm thinking?
She says love is not what she's after
But everybody knows
Each time she looks in the mirror
Well, she lets her feelings show
Well, the lady don't mind
No, no, no, the lady don't mind
She just turns around and disappears
And I kinda like that style
Uh-oh, uh-oh, here we go again
I don't know, Don't know what I'm sayin'
Hey man, hey man, I sure don't feel the same.
She likes to say what she's feeling
Hey, did I get a big surprise?
I know you think so
Come on, come on, she says anything
Who knows, who knows what she's thinking?
Uh-oh, uh-oh

I'm sorry fans and I'm absolutely not disputing the quality of TH or David Byrne, but i.m.o. both are overplayed...
byrne this garbage!!
A great song evokes immediate memories. This takes me back to my time on the south shore of Montreal, growing up fed up of the English/French Canadian tension that erupted every few years. I was in college headed to university (two separate things) and wanting to get the hell out of Quebec, but with no real pressure to do much of anything other than finish school. I lived with my parents, was free to do whatever I wanted thanks to two older brothers paving the way (thanks!!!) and left to blast music during the day whole my parents worked. This was one of my go-to albums for years and years and as much as back then I wanted out, in retrospect, those years would end up being among the best of my life. I wish I could go back and do it all again. Thanks for stirring all that up.
The second best song on the album!

Beautifully stated. A lot of TH fans lamented that they never got back together, but I'm perfectly fine with what they left us during their glorious run.
Talking Heads often initially frustrated many listeners with each new release. There was no way to predict them, except to be certain that whatever they did could and should be expected to be wildly different and wonderfully weird. For appreciative fans, given time, everything they did would glow for us with its own unique quantum magic. Truly, one of the boldest and most experimental bands ever! I love that RP keeps their genius in proper state of eternal celebration.

This is my exact story with Talking Heads, and then was turned on to David Byrne's solo work. Enjoy almost everything that has his name on it.

Another day, several more overplayed Talking Heads songs, far beyond any other band it seems. Don’t get it, otherwise love RP. Hearing less Tom Petty, so that’s a plus.

TH always evoke that particular feeling inside of me that life on this planet is "hopeless, but not serious" :)
I like that strange melancholy (especially in Road to Nowhere, but basically in all their songs) mixed with an equally strange feeling that there is hope that everything turns out to be good, no matter how it looks at the moment.

I think the trouble was we were hearing Reggae, Roxie Music, the Police, whatever and Talking Heads didn't fit in with that vibe. You put things in perspective when you hear them again out of the blue.

"I'm not lost -- but I don't know where I am..." Yeah, dude, I know that feeling -- and all too often... AND YOU MAY ASK YOURSELF
She might not mind, but I sure as heck do.

Have you read his book "How Music Works"? It's a good read on TH, the music industry, and music in general.
Huge TH and DB fan, seen the band 3 times at SPAC. Superb shows, all of them. I still am hoping for a reunion, if they can get past their personalities and pride.

I remember when this album came out and not liking it quite as much as their previous albums. However, so many years later, I now put it among my faves from TH. The songs are a little more catchy, particularly when you don't hear them very often.
Gives me energy ! Thanks
GREAT!
I don't know how or why but this band's music does something directly to my brain synapses. It's all good. Way good.
It's killing me (softly) that I had to turn down the opportunity to see him with a friend in "American Utopia" on Broadway, but I had neither the time nor the money for orchestra seats. 
This album was my introduction to the Talking Heads back in the day, with Stop Making Sense as its companion. I quickly became my school's "official" Talking Heads freak.
This song and Television Man still make me stop and listen.
We are still good friends...and I'm trying to be...listening to everything.

Literally a only a 2-chord song, but absolutely brilliant!

It helps that this and Brothers In Arms were topping the charts at the same time. They dominated in '85.
This was their "Brothers In Arms". Who could have guessed 4 quirky art students went from playing in front of 40 people at CBGB to selling over 2 mil. copies of an album.

Well, three art students. Jerry Harrison was an architecture student (and played with The Modern Lovers) in Boston several years before he joined the Talking Heads.

They are the great! Always have been and always will be.

Ugh. I can tolerate TH more than I can tolerate solo DB. So, I'll take it.
So far removed from their greatness. Difficult to listen to.
Mannered, not very edgy, and somewhat needy.
He's forgotten his own admonition: "I don't have to prove / that I am creative."

TH/DB have had a disproportionate run here on RP for many years.
Insta-, as usual.

Damn if this isn't one of Bill/Rebecca's finest sequences:
Other Lives - For 12
Alt-J - Bloodflood
Woodkid - I Love You
Eels - Woman Driving, Man Sleeping
Talking Heads - The Lady Don't Mind
Incredible blend of old/new groove-based experimental alternative.
And this is why I never can listen to Pandora/iTunes Radio or any other computer generated radio station for more than 20 minutes...

I'm going on record to say that I don't own a single Talking Heads album, in any form. But lately, I've been liking everything I've heard here at RP. I'm sure TH are an acquired taste, so apparently, I'm finally acquiring a taste for them. Quirky, funny, thought-provoking, and sometimes, dance-inspiring.
Say what you want (and I know you will!) - I'm really starting to love this band.

A fantastic album. And a great mind.
I couldn't agree more....if you want to be foul mouthed and write like a 13 year old boy, stick to writing your comments on YouTube.

"Cause"? I'm not aware of any anti-Byrne campaigns and wouldn't join one if there were one. Just letting off steam, man, just like the rest of the stiffs on this board. Cred to Byrne for being innovative, and a great songwriter, but his voice always provokes a leap to the mute button. The chatterati love him to bits, I know, so maybe it's my loss.

Neither is there a "right" or "wrong" musical judgement - one person's Sucko-Barfo is the next's Godlike, a statement of the bleedin' obvious yet which seems to need continually restating on this board. Personally, I've respect for him as a songwriter and innovator, it's his voice that gets right on my tits. Much the same as Neil Young's and Bob Dylan's do, two other exceptional writers.

Okay, I love Talking Heads and an awful lot of Byrne's solo stuff. But the problem with this sort of "support" is that you descend to the level of the criticism with which you disagree. Or as my Uncled Ned once said, "Don't argue with a fool, boy. Folks can't tell the difference."

I agree that THeads are an acquired sound, but as time goes on David Byrne's musical genius becomes clearer. He is one of the important people in music. My teen years were spent listening to Stop Making Sense, really loud- phenomenal. Anyone who has not seen the amazing concert movie, must!!

Great to groove to! Thanks Bill, keep up the good stuff!
Ah, it's that typically 'eh-oh' guitar style that warns me that David Byrne's going to warble again. And the mute goes on...

So you hate the music but you stay tuned. Guess you like suffering.
There's always the next song on the playlist. Do you turn away everytime a song you don't like is played?

This amazing album helped me survive a very difficult period of my life. It gave me hope, helped me cope with my ... heavy load. <sorry George>
Anyway - I've always loved this song.

"beep-beep" - not the best Roadrunner impression I've ever heard ;-). Then yer man follows it up with a Tellytubbies impression ("uh-oh, uh-oh").

Without the Talking Heads, the RP playlist would be much-diminished: Bill loves Byrnin' down the house.
