Radio Paradise (mobile)

Now
I'm wakin' at the crack of dawn
to send a little money home
from here to the moon
is risin' like a discotheque
and now my bags are down and packed for traveling
Lookin' at happiness
keepin' my flavor fresh
nobody knows I guess
how far I'll go, I know
so I'm leavin' at Six O' Clock
meet in a parkin' lot
Harriet Hendershot
sunglasses on, she waits by this
Glass and concrete and stone
It is just a house, not a home.
Skin, that covers me from head to toe
except a couple tiny holes and openings
Where, the city's blowin' in and out
this is what it's all about, delightfully
Everything's possible
when you're an animal
not inconceivable
How things can change, I know
So I'm puttin' on aftershave
nothin' is out of place
gonna be on my way
Try to pretend, it's not only
Glass and concrete and stone
That it's just a house, not a home.
And its glass and concrete and stone
It is just a house, not a home
And my head is fifty feet high
Let my body and soul be my guide

I went home and downloaded it almost immediately then, like a teenager, listened to it on repeat for an hour. Then I told one of my former students about it and it was an instant win with him. Long live David Byrne. A weirdo I like. [ Reply ]

CTS Jun 06, 2012 - 04:07	I guess the ratings distrubtion says it all,,, that more people enjoy David Byrne that dislike him...Great plays on RP, and always enjoy learning the names of bands I have not yet discovered, and am happy that RP is there to educate us all... Each day listening to RP is a surprise and a most enjoyable eclectic mix of artists and music styles. Well Done.. [ Reply ]

laozilover May 05, 2012 - 10:02	For the longest time, I thought the line was "Meet in a parking lot, Having a hendershot", and I wondered what that was. EDIT - oh, wait, I already said that! DELETE DELETE DELETE... [ Reply ]

terrapin52 Nov 12, 2011 - 14:43	Oh. It's David Byrne. Hitting the mute switch. Let me know when the 90-year-old tone-deaf woman stops singing. So funny, the previous post seemed to echo my same sentiments. I hadn't read it first. :P [ Reply ]

I used to like him, but there's way too much of him on RP. headphones off for the next 5 mins. Yep. I've not been listening to RP very much these past few months, as there is little that's new to my ears anymore. Time was when I'd be chasing down 80% of everything I heard here... those were the days. Anyway, I'm glad I'm sitting at the computer and happened to glance at what's next so I could quickly mute my sound system. [ Reply ]

laozilover Sep 28, 2010 - 21:22	For, literally, years now, every time I heard this song, I vaguely wondered what "having a hendershot" meant! "define: hendershot" gave me nothing from Google, so I looked up the lyrics . "Harriet Hendershot" - it's a name! [ Reply ]
