![]() Uh-Oh (1992) [ larger cover art ] |
I can't find my way around this table
And I can't find my way around your face
And I can't find my way around your body
And wasted days turn into wasted nights
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now now now now now now!
Lookit me now!
The future isn't quite what you imagined
Ev'rything you valued has been sold
And ev'ry heart that takes a chance is broken
Now I don't see you laughin' at us no more
Hey look at you now!
Hey look at you now!
Hey look at you now now now now now now!
Look at you now!
Green grass grows around the backyard shithouse
And that is where the sweetest flowers bloom
We are flowers growin' in God's garden
And that is why he spreads the shit around
Hey look at us now!
Hey look at us now!
Hey look at us now now now now now now!
Look at us now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now now now now now now!
Lookit me now!

| terrapin52 | Posted: Oct 23, 2011 - 19:06 David Byrne never was worth a crap. He had one hit with Talking Heads and if you listen to it, everything is great except the vocals. |
| Forest267 (Milwaukee) | Posted: Jul 21, 2011 - 09:34 It's like a Jimmy Buffet song...from one of his crappy, recent albums. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jul 21, 2011 - 09:32 I can find my way to the mute key, right enough. It's fitting that this album should be named "Uh oh" because to me yer man Byrne sounds like a Teletubby. An automute (and I don't even wear a starched shirt). |
| fatmacje (Conyers, GA) | Posted: Jun 19, 2011 - 17:19 David Byrn is smart music. Just listen. Can you do. Better? |

When engaged, it would automatically detect incoming David Byrne on RP (or any stream) and replace it with pretty much anything else at random. Oh, wait - lemme guess. You have a starched white shirt, pressed pants, and no sense of humor. And I really hope you're not in a cubicle, too. Gee - kinda sorry for you, but I just KNOW there's an Iggy Pop in you somewhere. I'm teasing. Not all of David Byrne's stuff is easy on the ears, but it almost always demands to be heard. Your single-mindedness regarding Byrne is intriguing. 'Scuse me while I go see what you think is worthy of airplay... |

| alux (atop the pyramid) | Posted: Jan 02, 2009 - 21:06 I'm thinking "all right". Anything Byrne-related is guaranteed to bring out the cranks. So glad that BillG ignores y'all. Hannio wrote: I'm thinking "shite". |

| bugleboy624 (Bluefield, WV) | Posted: Jun 27, 2008 - 11:36 I guess I'm one of the few wierdos on here that actually likes David Byrne/Talking Heads, B-52's, et al sound. I can deal with that. I like the hook on this one. |
| Gednabb (New York City) | Posted: Jun 27, 2008 - 11:31 sucko-barfo for sure. I'm learning how much I dislike him thanks to RP. |
| bizon (Vancouver) | Posted: Apr 25, 2008 - 12:39 Mr. Byrne has been running on the monotony treadmill for quite a while now. It would sure be nice to hear him deviate from the familiar, once and a while. Perhaps Bill, you might play anything off of "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" that he did with Eno. Fantastic album! |
| mamerjamer | Posted: Apr 25, 2008 - 12:37 Maybe Radio Paradise should change its name to "All David Byrne and Talking Heads - All the Time!" I love you guys but MAN! David Byrne should own stock in Radio Paradise! |

I think I posted a similar comment on another song off this album! Uh-oh, somebody up there's dyslexic... Or somebody down here! |

I would have to agree. |

| Darkmatter (Sweden) | Posted: Jun 07, 2007 - 05:00 Alright, now you've done it. This song is now officially #1 on my "songs I want to dance to" list. Anyone care to join me...? |
| passsion8 (over the hills and far away) | Posted: May 15, 2007 - 18:59 I have a good friend that is almost my double. There is only one thing that separates us in all our tastes. One musician. Its enough of a disparity that it has actually threatened that friendship on several occasions. That's how I feel about RP when I hear Byrne. Same musician. |
| buddy0407 (Los Angeles if you lived here you'd be warmer... and better looking.) | Posted: Mar 20, 2007 - 15:34 This was Byrne's follw-up to Rei Momo. What an extreme let down after such a masterwork. Some of it's tolerable, but much of it is downright embarassing in the most-of-Paul McCartney's-solo-career sense. |
